them. Occasionally Il Is not necessary
to alter the brands, for the herds are
passed OF from u man to another ul-
til they are a hundred miles from where
they were taken. There they will either
be sold to some one ignorant of brands
or else they viii be fattened and ship
ped some months later. AT all markets
brands are registered, and If the brand
is detected a conveyance must be
shown. If ii is not possible to change
the brands, a bill Of sale from the orig
inal owner Is forged. Altered brands
cannot be detected positively until the
animal is killed, when an examination
OF the hid will show any tampering.
But this is too late.
Handsome Old Man.
Sully is not The type of man one
would picture from hearing q recital of
his deeds. He is now an old a with
a silVery. soft beard. His features are
rather finely cut and his face is rather
a kindly one. His voice is low and
musical and he talks quietly and with
great intelligence. 1t is related Of him
that II n traveller reaches his place with
a jaded horse he is invited to go into
the Sully corral and help himself to 81
fresh one His generosity has wide re-
pute. Sully, through his many alli-
anceS, is aDle TO go INTO towns through
this section. But no one ever sees him.
He has a passion for liquor, n ar
ranges to go into a back room some
where and satisfy his thirst. He was in
Bonesteel a short while ago., but no
one saw him.
With the passing of Sully the end of
perhaps the most remarkable career yet
unfinished will be marked. There Will
be no more like him. Large hearted,
stealing as II his right, shrewd to a de-
gree, honorable with his friends, a past
master In the art of ~corrupting officers,
there Is no one who Is a match for him.
and he has been able to carry on his
wholesale robbery with impunity for q

Spelt and spring rye sowing is on

cradle barley has been sown.
early soWn grain is coming up nice

late sown is terminating favorably.
AS a result of poor seed and the pre-

reseeding of wheat and oats has beer
found necessary in Il few scattered To-
caiities.
Winter rye looks we'll and is
fair progress. n the small amount Of
winter wheat grown in the extreme
southeastern counties is in good con

Grass, though very backward, is now
making fair growth and affords a lit

Potato planting and gardening are
becoming general and made good
progress.
Flowing and the preparation of
ground for corn was rapidly advanced
except on some low ands.
Except in the extreme western por-

Sioux Falls, S. d., May 5.-Now that
Rev. Charles A. Lyons. who created a
sensation by disappearing from Sioux

This city, he will discover that his
punishment for deceiving a young
of Sioux Falls will be swift and
sure. When taken before Judge Waits
he prisoner waived his preliminary
hearing and was held for the next term
Of state circuit court.
His arrest was due largely to the
personal efforts OF the woman he had
deceived. When Lyons reached Sioux
Falls in custody of an officer, Mrs.
Lyons and a friend were posted at the
depot where they could see without be-
ing seen, and she readily identified the
prisoner as the nan who had deceived
her.

Lyons exhibited credentials which were
apparently all right and which We're
satisfactory to the clergymen of the
city. For a time he occupied the pulpit
of the Presbyterian church, and also
OF the Baptist church.
Last summer he met Miss Emma Per

she determined to have Lyons brought
to justice, and opened a correspondence

lyons being a book binder by trade.
During her Investigations she also
