Some time ago the little girl took

by pneumonia. When the pneumonia
left her she was taken down with
malaria fever with at times symptoms
of Spinal Meningitis.
The family doctor brought her safe
ly through these troubles. but after
the fever Bright's Disease set in and
the doctors gave her up. Her father
tells the rest of the story:
I'VE began to give her Dodd's Kid.

about three and a half boxes she was
entirely cured. Now she Is as well a.

Conditions among range cattle in
the Belle Fourche region are almost
beyond belief. Not since 1886 has
there been so much suffering, and if
March continues with any severity
the percentage of loss will almost
equal that of the memorable winter OF
seventeen years ago. 1t should be un-
derstood that the loss this winter has
been confined to the large herds.
There has been no ~perceptible loss
among the cattle of the small owners
who have cared for their animals.
The greatest suffering seems to
have been caused by the lack of water.
The animals spent hours at a time
along the w~atercourses and various
pools licking the ice in a frantic en-
deavor to relieve their parched bodies.
Places are frequently found where the
ice is drenched with the blood of the
animals from their lacerated tongues.
Every day Is adding It's quota to the
number of over the plains,
and it is impossible to form any esti-
mate at this time of the probable loss.
While there were no heavy storms
or severe cold weather during the
early part Of the winter, there bave

been serious storm disturbances dur
ing the past few weeks, accompanied
by a heavy snowfall, which made it
impossible for the cattle to get at the
scanty feed Of the range. Thousands
of head have drifted into this vicinity
from North Dakota and Montana, and
feeble efforts are being made to throw
them food enough to sustain them un-
til spring.
In marked contrast with the condi-
ton of the animals left to themselves
is that of the cattle Of the small own
ers. These have not only survived
the winter. but in a great majority of
will be in good condition when
the new grass arrives. Sheep have
also wintered well, and aside from a
few losses caused by the animals

CONTEST ALLOTM[NTS OF LANDS
Contestants Claim Allottees Were Not Yankton
Indians and Also That Double Allotments of
Land Have Been Made to Them.

A number Of contest cases which
will attract attention. particularly
among the Indians on the Yankton res
ervation. have been instituted by
parties against the allotments of land
allotted to Indians at Wagner. and will
come on for hearing before the United
States land office at Mitchell.
There are ten of these cases. The
contests have been begun by William

F. Whalen. William T.. Coughlin and

tuted against these parties, and the
heirs of the deceased ~allottees, on the
ground that the allottees were not
Yankton Sioux Indians, and on the
ground that double allotments OF
ground have been made TO them.
When these Indians were allotted
land they were allotted under the
schedules of allotment dateu 1890.
1891 and 1894. Many Of these Indians
have different names. in fact the have
no family name as a rule, and the
children were given the first name

and In many instances, one person
would go by several different names

In some Of these cases the name
under which they were allotted land
was not the name under which they
appeared on the census rolls at the
agency. and that is the case in a
large number of allotments on this
reservation.
The land embraced In these contests
comprises over LOO acres, and is
worth at least $50, 900. Owing to the
land being so valuable. and owing to
the facts that If these contests were
sustained it will affect other allot.
ments of land, the contests will be
vigorously fought by the Indians.

dams for the same aggregates owe
$100, 900. There is also $25. 900 of in
terest and annuity money which Is
due these Indians, and the payment OF
the same has been held up, awaiting
the appointment of an agent: so that
from the proceeds of the sales Of
heirship land. and with the interest
and annuity money, there will be over
$125 900 paid to the Yankton Indians
within the hex thirty or sixty days.
One Point Is Settled.
The matter Of attorneys fees for
the probating of this Indian land has
been amicably adjusted between the
attorneys and the commissioner OF
Indian affairs, and all Of the deeds
which have been held up. owing to
this will be returned ard paid of at
once.
A large portion Of this money will
be paid at Wagner. and will go into

relieve any financial depression which
there may be existing among the In

New Peddler License Law.
According to Judge e. g. Smith of
Yankton, any one who does business
under a roof, no matter how long he
remains in town, is immune from the
%peddlers license act passed by the last
legislature. DR.. Charles F. Cram, who
took an appeal from Judge Copeland's
court. has been released by Judge
Smith. who decides that no law has
been violated. Under the law a ped
dler is defined as one who goes from
place to place selling goods. DIR. Cram
testified that he had remained in one
location in the county. and was there
fore violating no legislation.
According TO Judge Smiths inter.
probation of the law. it was enacted
for the sole purpose OF shutting out
peddlers who go from place to place
and house to house selling wares.
States Attorney Wilton wants a de-
cision from the supreme court and
has therefore taken an appeal.
