AWFUL SIGHTS ON THE RANGES
Carcasses of Dead Cattle TO Be Seen Everywhere-
Lack of Water Caused the Most Suffering
Losses Confined to the Large Herds

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 I'M
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 time
along the warehouses; and various
pools licking the ice in 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 its quota to, the
number of carcasses 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 have

contests. He states that he has no
doubt but that the contests will be
finally decided in favor of the In
dams. Many of these contestants are
squatting on this land, and Mr.. James
states that he will at once apply to the
attorney general of the United States
on behalf of these Indians and ask
that the government institute eject
ment suits against these squatters.
Ejectment suits will be commenced
under the direction of the attorney
general of the United States in the
federal courts, and will probably be
commenced at an early date.
Appointment Good One.
General satisfaction is expressed
over the appointment Of Rush J. Tay-
lor of Castlewood, as Indian agent at
Wagner. Owing to there being no
agent there since the death of Maj.
Staley over two months ago, Indian
business has been at standstill.
There is now held in the Indian Of
fee at Wagner and at the department
at Washington deeds for Indian heir
ship land which has been sold. and
the total amount to be paid to the H.
dians for the same aggregates over
100000. There is also $4,000 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
$l25 900 paid to the Yankton Indians
within the next 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 and paid off at
once.
A large portion OF this money will
be paid at Wagner, and will go into
circulation there, which will tend to
relieve any financial depression which
there may be existing among the In
dams at the present time.

APPEALS TO HIGHER COURT.
Judge Smith Of Yankton .nterprets the
New Peddier License Law.

Judge Smith Of Yankton .nterprets the
New Peddier License Law.
According to Judge E. G. Smith of
Yankton, any one who does business
under roof, no matter how long he
remains in town. is immune from the
aeddlers' license act passed by the last
legislature. DR.. Charles F. Cram who
took an appeal from Judge Copelands
court, has been released by Judge
Smith, who decides that no law has
been violated. Under the law a ped
der is defined as one who goes from
place to place, selling goods. DR.. Cram
testified that ne 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 so 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.

Many In Hiai, Society in England Are
Agents for Them.
The automobile business has opened
new. field for the impecunious wcnl-
an in high society tn England, and
many are making much money acting
as agents for the various makes Of
machines. A certain woman Of title
is known to have sold, within six
months. five high-p cars and four
teen smaller ones, and made In COM
missions about $4,000. There was mo
trouble in making the transaction, for
all she had to do was to tell her
wealthy friends that her car was the
best on the market, and give her card
to the intending purchaser, to be pre-
sented to the maker.
Some OF the smart women make adj
ditional profits by selling the cars
placed ct their disposal on the spot
for $500 more than the regular price.
and then paying for the machines 30

price, less the commission. London

been serious storm disturbances dur
ing the past few weeks, accompanied
by heavy snowfall, which made 1t
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 ccndi-
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 great majority of
cases 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
"piling up" no damage has been ex-
perienced.
The Belle Fourche Business club has
Undertaken arrangements for the com

FURNITURE STOCK DAMAGED.
j. B. Moore Company at Aberdeen

!. 3. Moore Company at Aberdeen
Loses $4,000 to $1,000 by Fire.
Fire damaged the building and stock
OF the j. B. Moore Furniture company
at Aberdeen from $4,000 to $4,000.
The fire started in the rear part of the
company's store building and burned
toward the front, destroying about one
third of the frame structure and con.
tents and damaging the remainder of
the interior and contents, which occu-
pied two floors, the heat being so in
tense that the mirrors in the furniture
In the front part were cracked by the
heat and the finish Of all the stock
was destroyed or badly damaged A
large iron warehouse across the alley,
filled with stock and owned by the
firm, escaped damage. Insurance
amounts to $4,000, as near as can be
ascertained. j. B. Moore. the head OF
the firm, is in the South, travelling.
The origin of the fire is mystery.

Joint Amiction.

When the Halliday twins were ba-
bies their mother always referred to
them collectively. This was natural
enough, for they shared everything
from their baby carriage to chicken
pox.
As they grew little older, however.
there were slight differences between
Elnora and Eudera, but Mrs. Halliday
took no account of them When tkey
had reached the age OF seven she still
referred to them in a way that struck
casual listeners as amusing.

Reward Offered for Poisoner of Dogs
by Wholesale.
A careful canvass up to this date
shows that twenty-four dogs partook
OF poisonous meat scattered about
town at Miller recently, sixteen of
whom died in great agony. the others
having partially recovered. Dogs will
eat of the meat and die for weeks yet,
so there is no telling how MANY ia
talities may finally be charged UP to
the destroyer. The estimated value of
the dogs lost is placed at $500 by the
owners. A large reward has been
pledged by the owners Of the CANNES
for information leading to the arrest
Of the guilty man-though some claim
it was a woman dressed as man
who scattered the fatal doses. 1t is
estimated that fully twenty-five cats
met the same fate, with more dying
every day.
