SPRING ROUNDUP.
Gathering at Fort Pierre for Annual
Function.

Catherine at Fort Pierre for Annual
Function.
Fort Pierre is in annual excitement
over the gathering of range riders for
the start on the annual spring roundup
for branding the spring crop OF calves
AND locating the herds of the different
owners on some particular range.
What gives it more than usual i'm
portance is that this will probably be
the last range roundup in eastern Stan
ley county. The new settlers and
fences being the doom of the range
roundup, last year ended that manner
of range work for Lyman county, the
wagons not working the eastern part
81 that county this spring, and Stanley
will be in the same shape next year.
The creamery and cheese factory,
with reports of crop acreage and con-
GitiOn of wheat and corn, now fills the
papers Of the older settled portion Of
the range. instead of the old matters

South Dakota, and while milking cows
and following a pillow is not so pictur'
esque nor so exciting a life as that Of
the old free range, the time has come
for the change and the milk cow and
piow horse is to take the place Of the
steer and broncho.
When horse raisers began to locate
their horses with the coming OF spring
many were reported missing, and the
Indications now lead to the conclusion
that systematic horsestealing has been
going on through the winter when the
horses were allowed to run at large,
and many Sully county horse owners
are losers. That kind of work has
been rare since the breaking up Of the
gang which worked through this Sec
ton five years ago. but it has started
again, and several suspects are being
closely watched.

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

Indian Is Held to the United States
Court.
David Horse Ring was brought be-
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
ceived the idea that he was destined
TO become a very, very bad man. Con-
lsequently when the spirit hSd sum.
GENTLY moved him he acquired a 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
poss session showed that he had a part
ner whom he intended to Join, and
with whom all the details of the cam
paign had been agreed upon. Even a
plat, showing a 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 speciica
tons also included stage holdups and
ali other features of a 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 inauCurated 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.
er 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 a prolonged stay in the
Bruel county bastile may develop a
different frame of mind.

J. II. Regan will begin the building
OF an up-to-date house on his large
farm near Bath in a few days. He
will have an artesian well drilled and
pipe the water to all parts of the house,
and also TO other buildings and his
pastures, making a complete water
works and fire protection system Of his
own. An approved system Of sewer
age will be constructed also. Later he
may put in an electric light plant with
the pressure from the well to supply
the power.
The pressure from artesian wells
can be utilized 10 do a good deal Of
work on the farm, Smelling corn
grinding feed, tanning grain, saving
wood. running the cream separator,
and fans in the kitchen and dining
room.
Small bore artesian wells are being
put down in increasing numbers. and
the time is not far distant when there
will be well on every farm. Although
the putting down of these small wells
was started but a short time ago, one
township in this county already has
eighteen. Well contractors have more
than they can do, and rigs are worked
night and day. New rigs are being
placed in commission as fast as they
can be built. One firm Of contractors
last year put down with one outfit
thirty wells ranging in size from one
and One-fourth to three inches in diam
eter, and twenty-seven wells with an
other outfit. The usual depth in this
part of the valley is from 900 to ! 900
feet. The pressure of the water gen.
orally ranges from 70 to 125 pounds a
square inch, and the capacity from 500
to 1000 barrels a day. A good two
inch well will develop three horse
power and a three-inch ten horse
power.
The water from the wells forms lit.
tie lakes and ponds. Scientists say
these numerous bodies of water will
favorably affect the climate. Farmers
living at a distance from the river Sc
cure their summers supply of ice from
the artesian lakes. improvements in
we'll machinery have brought down the
price Of wells till a contract for an
inch and quarter well can be secured
for $500, a twoinch we'll for $500, and
larger sizes in proportion.
