MURDER ON THE ROSEBUD.
Two Cowboys Kill n Third in Fight
on Indian Reservation

Jerry Carleton, chief deputy in the Of
fee Of the United States marshal in Sioux
Falls has returned from an official trip
to Rosebud agency and Deadwood.
His trip was made for the purpose OF
escorting from the guard house at Rose
bud agency to Deadwood two men,
named Henry Gaver and G. Il. Cook,
who are accused Of having murdered a
man named James Rainbolt a few days
ago OF the Rosebud reservation. Both
prisoners are white men and the victim
was also a white, man.
AS the result of their preliminary ex-
animation before a United States COM
missioner at Deadwood, Cook and Gaver
were held for appearance before the
next federal grand jury, which will con-
vene at Aberdeen, to answer to the Sc
rious charge against them. As the offense
is not bailable, both men will be con-
fined in the Lawrence County Jail until
the United States grand jury convenes.

GREAT BATTLE ENDS.
Ten Days Struggle Wears Itself
Out-A Practical Russian Defeat.


There has been and end, for the time
being. of the fighting on a large scale
which began on October o, when Gen.
Kuropatkin announced to his army that
the time had arrived for an advance
against the japanese. Heavy rains and
consequent bad roads have made military
operations on either side extremely diff
cult, IL not impossible. The interrupt
ton, according to advices received at st.
Petersburg, is being utilized by both the
Russian and Japanese commanders in
making new dispositions Of forces and new
objective points are likely to develop
when active operations are resumed.
A Toxic dispatch states that the Jap
anese government well seek to make rep
reservations to st. Petersburg through the
American embassy against the alleged
use Of Chinese uniforms by Russian
troops, in violation of the usages of war.
Russia is Fastening the organization OF
the Second Manchurian army.
Yelled hints continue to arrive that the
Russians have recovered from the blow
inflicted last week by Field Marshal
Oyama and that Gen. Kuropatkin is pre-
pairing to renew the struggle as soon as
the roads become dry. Two Associated
Press dispatches from Mukden Wednes-
day night mention reports that the Jap
anese already are preparing to retire, and
the wal office admits that h%uropatkin's
left has again moved slightly forward,
but there is no light upon the movement
of the japanese. There is, indeed, an
utter lack of late news from Toxic, and
an enemy so resourceful may really be
preparing a surprise movement instead
of ID retreat, relieving the pressure on
the front with a view to accomplishing
something on the flank.

FOUR YEARS FOR ST. PIERRE.
Judge Jones Passes Sentence on
Sioux Point Farmer.

Four years in states prison is the pen
atty which John st. Pierre must pay for
having shot and killed Albert Chillieu
and Clarence Chillieu on the night OF
May "a, near Sioux Point.
The jury in the case returned a verdict
of guilty of manslaughter in the second
degree, which was regarded as a victory
for the defense, and Monday morning
Judge Jones passed sentence, giving st.
Pierre the limit under the verdict.
No unusual scene marked the SEN
fencing Of st. Pierre. e. G. Erickson,
who, with ID. III. Sullivan, of Sioux City,
had so ably defended the ~Frenchman,
made a brief plea for leniency, and then
the Judge delivered the sentence. st.
Pierre received it stolidly and was led
back to Jail.
Thus came to a close one Of the most
memorable trials in Union County.
The verdict of the jury seemed to give
pretty general satisfaction around Elk
Point.

EDGAR PUL.LEN is FINED.
Accused of Sending Objectionable
Matter Through Mails.

The regular October term of United
States court convened at Sioux Falls
with Judge John Il. Garland presiding.
1t is probable the term will not be pro-
longed owing to the fact that no grand
jury was summoned.
Edgar s. Pullen, Of Millbank, was ar
raigned before Judge Garland on an in
dictment containing five counts charging
him with sending Objectionable matter
through the United States mails. The
defendant entered a plea Of guilty to the
first count. Judge Garland imposed a
fine of $3.50 and ordered that in default
Of the payment OF the fine the defendant
be committed to the Grant County Jail
at Milbank.

BUTT or COW PROVES FATAL
Union County Pioneer Dies After
Long Illness.

An Elk Point special says: Richard
Malloy, aged G5 years, an old and high
ly respectable resident Of Union County,
is dead. Nine months g a muley cow
butted Malloy in the stomach. The IN
juries received are believed to have re-
suited in the formation of a cancerous
growth which caused the death of NAL
10y.
Throughout the civil var Malloy
served in the confederate army. After
the war he moved to Joliet, iii. Later
he came to Iowa, and in 1868 he had
charge of the tracklaying on the Sioux

WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS or THE WEEK IN A CON-.
DENSED FORM.
War on Horse Thieves-Many AMI
mails Have Been stolen in South
Observation-Disclosures in Western
Part or state are After Them.

The authorities of western South pa
kota and northern Nebraska are engaged
in a war to the death against an unusual
| ly bold gang Of horse thieves, whose
headquarters are in Holt County, Neb.,
and whose field of operations extends
over an extensive area, including the
great ranges, north and east OF tAe biach
Hills. in western South Dakota.
The thieves are known as the Iurney
gang, and have given the authorities or
the two states much trouble for some
time. The boldness of their operations
recalls the palmy days of the Doc MID
dleton gang, proving that they are ex-
ceedingly dangerous criminals.
The Turney house, in Holt county
where the members of the gang make
their headquarters, is said to be a ver-
liable arsenal. A large cave is believed
TO be used by the thieves in conceallng
! plumber and fugitiyes, and when TINS
..plant' is discovered it is thought the
rest of the work in breaking up the gang
will be comparatively easy.
In times past such crimes rs counter
| feiting have been charged up to the gang,
| the father of the Turney boys now being
i'm the penitentiary OF a charge OF coun-
terfeiting. -.
1t is hoped by the authorities to ulti-
| mately arrest all of them or drive them
out OF the country.
An Aberdeen special says: Starting IN
| with the theft of twenty-five horses AT
Bull Canyon, Wyo., just across the Ia
kota line. on the Goth of May hast, there
have been ii total Of seventy-one horses
stolen in South Dakota since then, the
great majority of them having been stoi-
on within the last ninety days. None OF
| these horses has ever been found, neither
have the thieves been apprehendeG. Two
valuable teams in Brown County were
stolen during the month of September,
one of the teams belonging to Senator
Koepsel. of Groton, the valuation being
in excess of $500.
The large number of horses stolen has
aroused the sheriffs and the people TO ac-
ton, and vigilance committees are being
organized in several communities, one or
these being located at Groton, i'll Brown
County. Sheriff Cole, of Brown County,
has sent out letters to sheriffs in adJoin-
ing counties, asking for Il more concen-
trated action Oh the part of the officers
of the law and an organization among
the sheriffs is being formed with the view
of making a systematic search OF that
part of the state, and it is thought that
the horse thieves who are so successfully
robbing the people will be apprehended.
or at least that further thefets will be
prevented. A few good h~angings is sug-
gested by some to give the thieves a
scare.
