Llaht Turned On.

A great deal OF misunderstood school
law was untangled In the discussions
at the recent state convention of coun-
ty superintendent and school profes-
sors in Canton. Among the matters of
law commonly misunderstood that
were corrected was that In relation to
boards of directors purchasing school
supplies and school furniture. II has
been the general understanding that
school officers were authorized to pur.
chase up to the limit OF $40. but the
discussions disclosed the fact that they
are not authorized to lay out a single
dollar for such purposes without vote
of the district
One Of the most seriously misunder-
stood school laws on the statutes il
that regulating the change of boundary
lines of school districts. The law on
this subject has always been indef.
mite. one Of It's pr0visiOns being thar
q vote on such change may be ordered
upon the presentation Of petition
sigred by ten legal voters In the dis
tricts. The practice has been to order
these selections at the request of only
ten legal voters In all the distrfcts
while the convention discovered that
ten signers from every interested dis.
trict are required.

ice says:
The weather during the week aver
aged warm, with brisk to high south
ernly winds the latter part, and very
beneficial moderate to generous rains
the fore part over the Sioux River val
ley and the middle and lower James
river valley. but the need of rain for
grass and late sown grain is becoming
evident in some upper Missouri and
upper James river valley localities, as
the high winds are drying the sur
face soil. On the whole. wheat, oats,
barley, speltz, rye, and grass have
made vigorous and healthy growth,
and early sown grains are stooling
well. Grass. though still backward,
generally affords good pasturage, and
the condition of range live stock is
steadily improving. Notwithstanding
the windy weather and some delay in
the extreme southeastern counties Cue
to heavy rains. corn planting has, on
the whole, progressed we'll and Is now
becoming general, Early corn In the
southeastern counties is coming up

Potato planting has progressed fav-
orably and the early planted are up.
Preparation of ground for fax and
millet progressed favorably, and the
sowing of these crops is in progress.
Tree fruits are In blossom generally,
and reports indicate that on the whole
the injury to this class Of fruits by the

HORSE THIEF.
Indian Is Held to the United States
Court,

Indian Is Held to the United States
Court.
David Horse Ring was brought boz
fore United States Commissioner It'd
rick in Chamberlain by Deputy United
States Marshal Petrie, charged with
horse stealing. and was held to answer
to the next United States grand jury.
The evidence introduced at the trial
was of more than usual interest.
Horse Ring is young Rosebud In
dian, nineteen years of age. He con
ceiyed the idea that he was destined
to become very, very bad man. Con-
|sequently when the spirit had sum-
GENTLY moved him ne acquired q for
midable array of instruments OF war
fare, sailed forth and confiscated a
horse, and then announced that the
world was at his feet. Letters In his
possession showed that he had part
ner whom he intended to join, and
with whom all the details of the cam
|paign had been agreed upon. Even q
plat, showing trail from the Bad
Lands to Montana, was found, and &C.
Iccmpanying data showed that the trail
was to be literally irrigated with the
blood of the white man, who, it was
declared, was the legitimate prey of
the red man. The plans and specifca
tons also included stage holdups and
al other features of strenuous life.
Everything was provided for but the
vigilance Of the Indian police. These
individuals soon learned of the theft
of the horse and vigorous pursuit
was at once inaugurated. The pursuit
became so hot that the disciple Of
Jesse James was soon compelled to
abandon his horse and take to the
hills. He secured another horse short
ly after and made his way to the Low
Ter Brule reservation, where the Indian
police soon ran him to earth and
turned him over to the United States
authorities.
At the trial he still assumed all the
attitudes of the bold avenger, but the
earnest meditatiions which are likely
to accompany prolonged stay in the
Bruel county bastile may develop q
different frame of mind
