"Governor's Grays" Ahead.
Captain W. H. Thrift. commanding
Company A, has received from Adjutant
General Byers report of the general
inspector of small arms practice for the
state national guard covering last year. s
work. It is gratifying to the members Of
the Governor Grays," as the company is
known, that they lead in the percentage,
with 1925 per cent, and again take the
first place. This is the Oldest company in
| the state, and regularly takes first place
at all inspections. Captain Thrift has
worked hard with his men on the range
and is an enthusiastic rif1eman. Citizens

located at Fairfield, stood fourth, and
Company A, F1fty-sixth regiment, Of Ma

The general average is far below last

ground and along creeks and rivers, the
unusually heavy rainfall greatly interfered
with rifle practice. The Fifty third regi-
ment took first place this year and the
report gives great credit to Captain J. G.

CURTIS TO WRITE ANOTHER
Famous Correspondent Still After Iowa
Insurance Companies.

WEBSTER CITY, IOwA-William E.
Curtis, correspondent Of the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald, and Captain J. F. Mercy of
the Illinois Central railroad, have been
touring central Iowa in the latters private
car. The distinguished pair were in this
city two days. Mr.. Curtis reiterated
yehemently his position on the corruptness
Of the Iowa insurance companies, as
stated in his Des Mones letters. He went
SO far as to say that the matter Of in
surance would be the issue between the
republicans and democrats within few
years and that unless the republicans took
it up at once the democrats would beat
them"
unless curtailed soon,'' said Mr. Cur
tbs, the corruptness Of many of these
concerns can but reflect upon the present
administration" In spite of, the violent
opposition of the Iowa papers to the posi-
ton he has taken on the matter, Mr.. Cur
tbs declares his intention of writing anoth-
er letter upon the subject.
Probably no newspaper correspondent
ever caused so great storm of fndigna-
ton did Mr.. Curtis in his letters from
! Des Moines. The letters hurt for the rea-
+ son that there was more truth in them
| than most people care to admit.

SOUTH DAKOTA
LAND FRAUDS IN S. D.
Charges Of a Sioux Falls Paper De-

District.
Soldiers Widows Are Making Some
Filings, but Are Under No
Agreement to Sell.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Pierre, S. D., July 27.-Several days
ago a Sioux Falls paper, under a heading
OF Land Frauds in South Dakota" de-
clared that large amount of land was
4 being fraudulently taken in the Pierre
and Rapid City land districts thru filings
by soldiers widows, and that inspectors
were looking the matter up and would
soon make a report which would bring
the persons interested into the courts
The records of the land office in this
city show less than fifty soldiers wild
ows filings made in the past three years,
and these have been scattered filings.
Last week about fifteen such filings were
made, being those of a party which came
out from Iowa and Minnesota towns and
filed together.
The land laws allow soldiers widows
to file on government lands and secure
title without residence, and in final
proof they are allowed the time of serv-
ice of their deceased husbands a por-
ton of the five years time required to
secure title All that is required of them
is the filing, improvements and final
proof.
In the cases of the widows who filed
last week an agreement was made be-
| tween them and cattle owners who desire
the land for grazing, in which the graz
ing privilege on their homesteads is al
| lowed in return for the placing of the
| improvements required by the govern
ment 1t is in no way denied that such a
privilege has been granted to cattle own
ers who desire to use the land, but it
is denied that any agreement of sale
in any way has been made, but that they
| take this means of securing the improve
ments required, at no expense to them
selves
If any inspector is working in the
Pierre district it is without the knowl-
| edge of the land officials, or any other
person in this part Of the country, and il
they come that is all they will find ir
| this district SO far as soldiers widow
| claims are concerned. "
The horse sale in this city last week
brought out good crowd Of buyers, anc
some good sales were made. One bunch
Of range horses went at $50 head, an6
single horses were sold as high as $10t
