OPPOSE OPENING
OF RESERVATION
National Legislators Object to
Paying a Round Million for
Rosebud Land.
BILL HAS CHANGE TO PASS
Practically Assured Enough Money
Will Be Appropriated to Com
plete the Hot Springs Ma
tional Sanitarium.

Deudwood, S. D., Dec. 27.-E. w.
Martin, who has returned from Wash
ington for the holiday recess, asys
there is considerable opposition to
the bill proposing to cede to set
tlement a part Of the Rosebud
Indian reservation in Gregory coun-
ty, South Dakota. Among the OPP
ponents Of the bill is Speaker
Cannon. The opposition is chiefly on
the ground that IL requires an expen
diture of $1,000,0 900 to purchase the
lands from the Indians, and under the
national irrigation law the proceeds
Of the sales of these lands go into the
fund for national irrigation purposes.
The senators n representatives from
South Dakota are working earnestly
and in concert on the measure, n are
hopeful that 1t will be passed, but they
are aware hat it will meet stern re-
Sistance.
Mr.. Martin expresses confidence in
he appropriation by the present ses-
sion OF sufficient money to complete
the building Of the national sanitarium
at Hot Springs, S. D., the plans for
which, drawn by Architect Kinlball
of Omaha, have been adopted by the
home board. The plans contemplate a
group OF buildings that will cost $780,
600. The last session of congress ap-
p~ropriated only $4,000, and the board
has asked of congress enough more
money to meet the plans of Mr.. KIM
ball.

Rapid City, S. D., Dec. 2~9.-Damages

Miss Myrtle Harvey against Rapid City
IN the circuit court on a suit for per-
M injury. Miss Harvey sued for $5.-
Oo0 and $3.50 alleged to haYe been eX-
pended for surgical attendance. She
fell on a O sidewalk in Rapid City
August q, 1901, breaking her ankle. AT
the time the complaint was first filed
1T was alleged that she a lost the use
or the injured membe and had been
confined to her bed much Of the time
after the accident by reason of COM
pllcations arising. Since the filing of
this complaint it has become necessary
to amputate the foot at the ankle. The
young Woman is now in a critical con-
'dlt1on. a genuine case of consumption
having developed said. to be due to the
injured ankle.
Tubercular bacilli appeared in the o.
1ured ankle several months 6 and
nave since been communicated to the
lungs. 1t. was in the hope Of putting a
stop to the spread of the bacilli that the
amputat1On was reSorted to, blu the
case a evidently gone too long. Her
doctors do not hold out any hope for
her recovery. The case aroused much
interest in court, particularly among
the attorneys who had previously made
a study Of tuberculosis, beng the first
OF it's nature in this part of the state,
Though medical works bear record Oh
numerous similar cases elsewhere. MISS
Harvey was a school teacher, and hAd
been employed at Hill City and TilfRrd

suit in Legislature Considering
the Matter.

Canton, s. D., Dec. 30.-The PROPOSE
ton to have the state Legislature pass
an act adopting a state flower will be
renewed when the legislature meets at
Pierre this winter. Albert c.. Hopkins,
of this city, a writer Of more or less
celebrity throughout the state, has in
augurated the movement by issuing a
circular to county school Superintend-
ents, public school officers, tcachers and
other educational workers urging them
to circulate and send petitions to the
legislature and to write personal letters
to the members asking on behalf of the
public school of the state hat action
be k along this line. Hopkins
suggests that the anemone, Or Posque
flower be adopted as the one most suit
able for the state floral emblem of
South k and gives as the princi-
pal reason for his suggestion hat as the
is the first flower Of spring it
Is q leader in the floral kingdom and
it's adoption as q state flower therefore
signifies leadership. AS the anemone
Is a leader among flowers in spring time
he maintains SO is South Dakota a lead
err among states in the union and hence
It's fitness as a state flower. The Hop
kins idea has sufficient merit to obtain
recognition among some Of the promin-
ent men in the state, among them Pro-
fessOr G. w. Nash, state superintend-
ent-elect, and Professor E. E. Collins,
present incumbent Of that office who
have given it their Endorsement. The
proposition win be brought up for con-
sideration at the next annual meeting
Of the State Teachers association to be
held at Mitchell this week.

MAKE WILD RUN.
Runaway Freight Cars Plunged Into a
Deep CANYON.


Deep Canyon.
Terry, S. D.. Dec. 30.-The Burlington
lost W box cars loaded with railroad
iron, ties and timbers on the Spearfish
branch, by their getting away from a
work train and plunging into the can
yon, after a wild run Of over two miles
down the heavy grade. The cars had
been left on the main line, with brakes
set and blocks under the wheels. When
he engine backed into them to make
coupling the knuckle did not catch and
the cars were bumped owe the blocks
and started down hill, the wheels slid
ing over the frosty rails. The Conduc-
tor was on the cars, and the engineer
made two more attempts to couple, but
failed. After the cars had attained a
speed of thirty miles an hour the en-
gineer refused to follow them and the
conductor jumped. The crew after
wards found the cars, a total wreck.
They had left the track without dis
turbing it in any way, and after a flight
of thirty feet, had settled into a mass
of broken rock, splintering the wood
work, shattering the wheels and aXles,
and bending the railroad iron stored in
the cars into fancy shapes. Nothing
about the cars was OF further service,
n no attempt will be made to move
them. y

Could Pry Loose.
Sioux Falls, s.. D., Dec. 27.-Fred
Richardson, who a short time ago COM
pleted serving a term in the county Jail,
is the champion thief of this portion of
the state. After Richardson was re-
leased Sheriff Hutson gave him en-
ployment. The kindness Of the sheriff
was rewarded by Richardson stealing
a number of articles from him. Even
this might have been overlooked had
not Richardson gone so far as to pur-
chase a team OF horses from a Sioux
Falls man and give as security a
mortgage on a team Of horses, lumber
wagon, and set OF double harness be-
longing to the sheriff. When he had
committed this crime it was thought
best to put a sudden and effective stop
to Richardson's career Of crime. Thean
it was found that he had also ,s4t6len
two loads of barley from 3. faEmer liv-
ing on a farm where he NRichardson)
has been at work recently. Richardson
has been arrestedf for mortgaging
property not his own and for the theft
of the two loads off grain. AS the re-
suit Of his preliminary examination he
has been held foE appearance at the
next term of the Atate circuit court. In
default Of bonds in the sum Of $1,000
he has been placed in Jail.

SEEKS APPROPRIATION
School of Mines at Rapid City Alone Is

Deadwood. S. D., Dec. 30.-It is un-
derstood hat the only state institution
in the Black Hills counties that will

Two years ago $40, 900 "a appropriate

appropriation was not large enough to
finish it properly or to provide the nee
essary furnishings, and the coming
session will probably be asked to make
an additional appropriation, for that
purpose. The state normal school at

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 25.-Pierre has az
vanced another argument favorable tic
the retention of the capital. This time
the public land question is considered,
and his subject offers a point which,
Is hard to turn.
The national government originally
set aside nearly 700, 900 ACRES of land as
an endowment fund fort erection of
a state capitol, and the support OF
state institutions. Only about IL, ZOO
acres of this land has been disposed of,
and In the meantime, the eastern part
OF the state has the greater part OF
state institutions. and the western
counties haWe hundreds of thousands
OF acres off, public lands, which Is a
burden on them, n which supports

count}es, which themselves are free

,/Public lands are exempted from taxa
\ ton and the revenue derived there
from reverts to the institution to which
the land is endowed.
\ The southern and eastern parts of
the state, which contain most of the
state institutions which receive the
benefits, have none of these lands
within their borders, the list with any

Brown, Deuel., Grant, Kingsbury and
Sanborn, none of which has but a few
acres IN scattered tracts, practically all
Of these counties being in the southern
and eastern part of the state, where
the state institutions other than those
In the Black Hills and the state capital
are located.
The other eighteen counties of the
state thus furnish revenues to the in
sttutlons in the counties in which no
such lands are located.
Inc total acreage Of unsold state and
endowment lands might be divided into
three lists, those west of the Missouri
river, those in the Missouri valley and
those In the rest of the state. West OF
