Milwaukee Railway Reports that
MANY Land Seekers,

With the end of the rush for the Rose
bud land, says a Sioux City, Ia, dis
patch, there also comes an end to the
most remarkable run Of business in the
history of the passenger departments of
the railroads which u into South Da-
kota.
1t is estimated that the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul and the Chicago
and Northwestern carried $4,000 passen-
gers to Yankton and Chamberlain-the
Milwaukee 10000 to Yankton and Cham
berlain and the Northwestern 10000 to
Yankton. Four-ffths of this travel pass
ed through Sioux City.
The M~ilwarkcs's business is said to
have been worth $25O,0O0 to the road.
The average cost of the tickets which the
Northwestern handled through Sioux City
was given as 50, which made it's business
to Yankton from Alton and the east and
Sioux City and the south amount to
about $4,000.
The business was handled without acct
dent.

JOHN BULL is G
English Again Aroused by the Sink
ing of n Shin.

The government at London is sending
instructions to the British ambassador TO
Russia to energetically protest against
the sinking of the British steamer knight
Commander by the Russian Vladivostok
squadron.
Until the presentation Of the note the
greatest secrecy is being maintained re-
garding its contents, but it is known Bal
four and his colleagues have decided 10
demand the fullest reparation shall be
made by Russia, or measures will be TAX
EN- to follow up the diplomatic demands.
1t is felt in government circles that the
Knight Commander incident o~vershadows
the Red Sea seizures, which practically
have been adjusted, but which failed 20
settle the question of the rights of neu-
trail commerce.
The British note will not mention the
amount of indemnity Russia must pay
the owners of the ship and British sub
jects having goods on board the vessel,
but all that will be sought will be the
establishment of the principle of indem-
nifty, and an apology. The salute of the
British flag must also be conceded, and
future protection of neutral shipping as
sured. =.
The attitude Of the British government
given the report received from Minister
Mcdonald, at Toxic, and an examination
of the international law authorized by
legal experts
McDonald's dispatches confirm the re-
port that the Knight Commander had no
!contraband Of war on board for Japan.
The government and all British author.
ties 1t is asserted, unite OH the point
that there was no justification for the
sinking of the vessel.
That the British government regards
the sinking of the Knight Commander as
10 breach of international law was con-
frmed by Premier Balfour in the house
of commons. A lengthy meeting Of the
defense committee took place under the
presidency of Balfour. Attorney Gener-
al Sir Robert Finlay was present to ad-
wise as to the questions of international
law involved.
The British authorities are persistent
in their desire 10 induce the United
States to make a declaration in respect
to the policy ii proposes to pursue in the
matter of protection Of commerce, and
the result of the deliberations of Roose-
welt and Hay are looked forward to with
intense interest
British ship owners are up in arms
over the dangers which shipping is now
running and are bombarding the govern
ment with representations looking to the
thorough protection of their interests.

ALLEGE DISCRIMINATION.
Sheep Men Complain OF Varying
Prices for Wool.

Eleven carloads of wool were last week
shipped from Belle Fourche for the east.
The top price was paid for some of it,
1t being 20 cents per pound. The wool
market there seems to be queer.
The sheep men believe that some days
a high price is paid purposely to get bus
mess started. Last summer the outside
buyers complained that they could not
get enough of the fine grade wool for
their demands. This season there seems
to be more fine grade than coarse, and
some days prices have ranged better for
coarse than for the fine. There seems TO
be at times a discrimination shown.

SOUTH DAKOTA is LAUNCHED
Governors Daughter Christens the
New Cruiser.

The armored cruiser South Dakota
was successfully launched from her era
die at the Union Iron Works at San
Francisco, CAL, at GAO o'clock Thursday
night.
The ceremonies attending the launch
ing We're unusually simple. Bishop w. ".
Nichols, Of the Episcopal diocese of Cali
%fornia, offered a short prayer and then
Miss Grace Herreid, daughter of the gov
ernor of South Dakota, pressed a but
ton that released the hull of the young
est American cruiser. As the vessel be-
gar TO move Miss Herreid swung a bot
tie of champagne against the boat and
bestowed the designated name on her.
Gov. Herreid, of South Dakota, and
party and a number of naval officers and
citizens witnessed the launching.
The South Dakota will be fitted as a
flagship and will require a complement
of officers and men numbering 500. The
cost Of the vessel will be approximately
5 5,000,000, including armament.

WOMAN DANGEROUSLY SHOT.
John Jacobs Thought mis- Wife Was
an Intruder.

A Belle Fourche special says: Mrs.
ITohn Jacobs, who lives on a ranch near
Camp Crook, is dangerously injured as
the result of an accidental shooting by
her husband.
"A few nights since two strangers called
at the Jacobs home and asked to be ell
tertAined over night. Mrs. Jacobs, not
being well, stated that she could not
keep them and the men went to a hay
stack nearby to sleep.
When her husband returned in the
evening Mrs. Jacobs requested that he
load his shotgun and keep it in the bed
room to keep away the intruders should
they enter at night. After they had re-
tired Mrs. Jacobs got up and went to
the bedroom window to look out, and her
husband, suddenly %awaking, saw her
form in the window and s%upposing it to
be the intruders from outside, grasped
his gun and shot, the full effects of the
load blowing off a part of her shoulder.
The woman may not live.

CROP PROSPECTS ARE FINE.
Small Grain in BeadIe County Never
Gave Better Promise.

A Huron special says: Inquiry as to
crop conditions in this locality disclosed
the fact that present indications are that
Beadle County will begin the harvest this
week of one of the finest crops of small
grain ever produced in the county. Bar
ley, rye and oats, in many fields, and
more especially the early sown, will be
in shock in the next few days. Bright,
warm weather is needed; there is abund-
ance Of moisture for corn, and that crop
is making rapid progress, while potatoes
give promise of an abundant yield. The
appearance Of rust in some small grain
fields is reported, but not to a damaging
extent. There is a demand for farm la
borers that so far exceeds the supply.
The hay crop is one Of the heaviest
known to this section, and is now being
harvested.

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON-
DENSED FORM.
Crooks Reaped $4,000 Harvest
That Amount Taken in Bonesteei
Holdups and Confidence Games-It
is Stated that Officials Were Bought

After three weeks of lawlessness, dur
Ing which crooks and criminals phea
their trades without restraint, Bonesteel,
Gregory County, has returned TO the
ranks Of wefl-governed American towns
and perfect order prevails.
In fact, there is no one there to make
a disturbance, for the entire bunch OF
grafters that has infested the town lett
Saturday and Sunday.
Though some of them carried bullets
away with them, the GOO crooks were
well paid for their three weeks stay IN
Bonesteel. 1t is estimated that fully
$4,000 was taken from visitors by mold
ups, confidence games and sure-thlhs
gambling devices.
1t is broadly asserted, not only by c1ti-
zens, but by representatives of the V
eminent, that the explanation OF the
reign Of terror is to be found i'll the fact
that most of the town and county ofl-
Gals were in the pay of the grafters.
This is said to be the reason no troops
were sent for. The authorities were conf
PEELED to keep up a show of law enforce
ment, but really did nothing that would
interfere with their receiving their pay
checks.
Later details of the battle between
crooks and the more decent element FRI
day night and Saturday morning, do not
detract from the story as first published.
Even now there is no definite idea of
how many people were shot. Some of
those wounded were: Patsy Magner,
Sioux City, shot through the foot; Syl-
vester Stanbro, Wichita, Kan, scalp
wound; Eli Harrison, shot through the
leg. Two g~rafters shot were +. l.. Har-
per, Nashville, Tenn, bullet wound
through the shoulder, and Frank Berri-
vile. In addition, II CRATER was shot
through the stomach INC another through
the back. Where these men are, or how
serious is their condition, cannot be
learned.
Besides these, there are numerous re-
ports of fleeing crooks who received bull
let or shotgun wounds. For several
hours during the early morning, a con-
slant fusillade was kept up through most
all of the town. The wonder is that,
with all this shooting, so few We're
wOundpd

with the Utmost Fairness.

Surrounded by the hills and highlands
that ~encircle Chamberlain. 5. D., Ike

story OF the Rosebud was concluded.
The drawing by which the disposition
of 356,000 acres OF free homes was DIS
posed of was conducted by w. a. Rich
ards. commissioner of the general land
Office, assisted by Judge Wakeley, OF
Omaha, ard L. +. Sherman, OF Sioux
Falls. The drawing was conducted on 4
little frame platform, which viii later
be exhibited at the Worlds Fair. The
platform was crowded with the govern
ment clerks, officials and a host of news
paper men.
Uncle Sans lottery scheme was con-
Quoted with a religious observance of the
laws of chance.
Surrounding the little frame platform
was a crowd Of spectators anxious TO
hear the names of the lucky winners OF
the valuable first prizes.
At o O'Clock Thursday morning Com
missioner Richards, of the general land
Office, made the preliminary dramatic an
nouncement. He announced the condi-
tons Of the drawing, following with the
reading Of the proclamation throwing
open the Rosebud lands.
The huge box in which the numbers
were to be placed was the conspicuous
part of the furniture Of the drawing
platform. Eight Chamberlain boys had
hec,. chosen, from which feaf were 80 she
selected by chance.
The boys who drew the lucky numbers
to draw were Arthur Rogers, No. /; Luz
clan Baker, No. 2; Lucky" Somers, No.
3; Edgar Chute. No. 4. Somers drew the
opportunity to draw the first number.
AS the numbers were drawn they were
handed to T.. +. Sherman, then to Judge
Wakeley, of Omaha, and by him TO Com
missioner Richards, and the clerks
stamped the envelope and took the num-
Der.
When Lucky Somers placed his hand
in for the first number the silence again
became tense. bet he's a South Da-
kota man. yelled someone. There was
some difficulty in reading the name, but
il was noised about that he had regis
tered at Chamberlain. Later Commits
sioner Richards announced the lucky
winner of the first number was William
Mccormick, a Spanish-American war
veteran, aged q, who had been regis
tered by William Powell, as agent, ct
Chamberlain. McCormick's residence is
given as Lancaster County, Neb., and
his birthplace was Philadelphia.
"Hurrah for Mack" yelled the crowd
for tie winner of the grand prix in I'm

Robert Burns broke Jail in Deadwood
and has not been found up TO the pres
ent time. His Jail delivery was helped

where he has confederates. Burns was
brought to Deadwood recently from
Gregory County.
Sheriff Brown, Of Gregory County,
found him in possession of thirty-eight
head of stolen horses, the proof being
positive againt him.
A reward of 500 has been offered by

GREAT PROSPECT FOR APPLES
One Farm Near Hurley May Yield
$4,000 Bushels.

Manager Prosser, of the mammoth
fruit farm near Hurley, which was set
out and owned up to a few years ago
by Mrs. Laura A. Alderman, states that
he has never seen a better prospect than
at present for a big yield Of apples. He
estimates that the apple trees on the
farm will yield an aggregate of not less
than $4,000 bushels.
1t will be a surprise to many to learn
that South Dakota is rapidly becoming
a fruit state, and that this orchard is one
of the largest of its kind in the United
States.

from HonS&ung reporting the vessel had
been seized by the Vladivostok squad
ron.
The Calthas carried a considerable
quantity of -four consigned TO japanese

GREAT COTTON MILL STRIKE.
The Ranks of the Army OF Idle Re
main Unbroken.

A Fall River, Mass, dispatch says:
UNLESS the operatives agree to come i'm
TO the mills and work under the pro-
posed 1871 per cent reduction in wages,
It. is doubtful whether any attempt will
be made by the manufacturers to rpm the
mills before October" This statement
was made by a prominent mill treasurer
in reference to the cotton mills strike, in
volving 10000 men.
In explaining this attitude the man
quotsd said that the manufacturers have
found that to continue operations ender
the old wage scale would mean a loss OF
money. They prefer, therefore, to nave
the mills closed rather than to have them
run at a losS.
The strikers ranks remain unbroken.
