Indian reservations. and this is used
mostly for grazing lands. The town was
started last July and now has a popula-

there are thousands Of cattle which will
be hauled over this road TO markets The

The Tribune doesn't always place
much faith in the sensational stories
published in tile Denver Post, but if
only one tenth OF what that paper tells
of conditions at the FIT. Lewis Indian
school is true. DR.. Breen, the superin-
tcndent. should not only be summarily
dismissed. but he should receive pun
isIiment commensurate with his mis-
deeds. 1t seems evident from the tes-
timony secured that Breen is low
sensual brute and decent people will
be glad to see him removed from his
position where he is held in such alb
horrence by the young girls many of
whom have been helpless victims of
his passion. The statutes fail to pro.
vide sufficient punishment for that
class of cattle.

To Obey Is Best.

1t is intimated that Mr.. Morgan,
Mr. Hill and Mr.. Hartman may de-
eide to permit the anti thrust law to
remain OH the statute books until re-
gularly repealed. and may even, by
omitting to appeal from the decision
OF the circuit court. accommodate
their actions to the law instead of en-
deavoring to fit the law to their ac.
tions. 1t really appears to us that
this would be the part of wisdom

able men in their way, and we'll mean

that any act passed by congress, signed

"OLD ARKANSAW" WAS GOOD
One of the Best Attractions That
Has Appeared so Far rms
Season,

"Old Arkarsaw'' was immensely
popular with the crowded house at
the Grand Monday evening. People
had absorbed the idea that the com
pany was going to present a splendid
drama and they went IN gOOdiy
numbers. There are some very
quaint characters down in Arkansas
and these were depicted with Skill
by the members of the con. pany.
Vic Lambert in the character OF
Old ArkanSaw was strong in all his
lines. Harry Edman rs jeremiah

him in his Characterization of the

new in stage characters here and
one could we'll imagine the charac-

Miss Mable Bailey was strong in her
part OF Stella Mayhem, where
her ability as an actress had several
opportunities. The play has a good

Theoscenic effects are good. particu-

Good For All Concerned.

Sioux Falls Journal: The Aberdeen
News SAYS the newspapers of the state
should not work up to a frenzy over
the capital removal contest. but take
things rather easy. as all parties con-
cerned will continue to live here af-
ter the fracas is over 1t also points
out that Pierre has done more toward
making a city Of itself since the cap
ital removal ill passed than at any
time in its history and this state
ment is backed up by the State Reg
lister, which says more building ha
been going on in Pierre this year than
during the past ten years. This is a
good deal in line with what The
Journal has always maintained-that
|it would be a good thing for Pierre if
the capital was removed from there
land at the same tine it would be a
good thing for the people of the state.
Pierre has "a pretty good lot Of huSt-
lers and she has some natural advan.
! tages for building a city, but all the
energies of her people have been eX-
pended in irving to keep the capital,
when IT," people of the state wanted
it moved Pierre. through her efforts
prevented the passaee Of a remova
bill for many years. but it finally
went through last winter and the
voters will tell next year if it shall
remain there or 20 to Mitchell. The
Journal has always opposed the CAPT
tai being at Pierre because Of its in
accessibility to the people of th'
state, which prevented many from
being present at important times
This will always be against Pierr'
and will undoubtedly lose her tn
capita, next year. The capita
should be closer to the center of pop
ulation intead Of the 2eoglaphica
center or the state, and where it cal
be reached by more than one railroad
which furnishes only the poorest kin
OF service.

the docket there will be but three or
four ready for trial. by the jury, the
others being, dismissed or will be
heard by the court.
The case of the city against l.. A..
Amsden. who appealed from the JUS
tice court. was dismissed by reason
of the failure of the defendants at

peal to the city's attorney.

to the count that he had been re-
tanned by Fred L. Stevens as an adj
ditiOnal attorney in hls case. Mr..
Hitchcock filed ii request with the
count in which Mr.. Stevens asked for
another judge to hear the case, claim
ing in his affidavit that the present
Judge could not give him an impair
tial trial by reason of bias and pref
udicc. Judge Smith stated that the
request would readily lie granted. rut
that ne was unable to-, say how soon
another circuit judge could be Sc,
cured. Preston & H%annett, the at
torneys for the state in the case,
stated that they were ready for trla.
and they would resist n extension
of the case to another term Of court
by reason of the absence OF a presid'
ing Judge. and would ask the court
to continue the present term until (
judge could be secured, which wOult
avoid putting the case off until mex

WATCH FOR PRAIRIE FIRES
4 New Law is!in Effect in This State
With Regard TO Starting
Prairie Fires.

This is the time Of year when
prairie fires get in their work in this
state. when the weeds and rank
grOwth-of grass are cured and dried
up. making the best sort of inflam-
mable stuff fol the fire fiend. When
once started with a good strong wind
behind it it is a mighty difficult mat
ter to arrest its progress. The revised
political code that was adopted nv
the last legislature contained a very
stringent law in reference to these
fires, and provides for severe punish
ment to those who carclessly start
them. the portion referred to being
as follows:
If any person or persons shall set or
cause to be set on fire any woods,
mash or prairie or any grass or stub
bic lands in the months Of September,
OCTOBER, November, December, jan
uary, February, March, April. May
or june except as hereinafter pro-
vided, such person or persons shall be
deemed guilty Of a misdemeanOr and
upon conviction thereof be fined a
sum nor more than ST 900 nor less
than $40, and imprisonment in the
county Jail a period not longer than
six months. n or both, at the dis
erection Of the court, and shall also
be liable in a civil action to any per.
son or persons damaged by such fire
to the amount Of such damages.
For the purpose Of destroying any
grass or stubble that may tie On any
piece of land at the time any person
or persons commence to break Or pillow
the same, it shall be lawful for sucl
person or persons to set the same OF
fire at any time in the year: provided
that at the time Of setting such grass
or stubble on hire there shall be
strip of land well plowed OR burnet
over at least so feet in width, com
pletely encOmpassing the place Whel'
such fire is set.
