SHIP THE FAIR EXHIBIT.
Black Hills Minerals and Grains Of
State Features Of Collection.

The agricultural exhibit OF South
dakota has been shipped to st. Louis
for the worlds fair. 1t required two
cars to transport ali the vast amount
Of material that will be displayed both
in state building and in the agricul-
tural building. The mineral exhibit
was shipped from the Black Hills.
and it required three cars to trans
port the product of the Hills country.
In the shipment are thirty-six panels
that are beautifully decorated. which
will represent the counties and towns
in the state that desired to be adver-
tised. These panels will be placed
in the state building in places that
have been provided for them. and will
be attractive features Of the interior.
There were 1922 sacks and AZ boxes
of corn taken along, which will be
used to decorate around these panels,
1t being the intention to Ihake this a
work of art. Eleven crates of glass
ware were also shipped, which will
be used tt exhibit the small grains in
the agricultural exhibit, and there
were also shipped ifty-six boxes of
grain to comprise the exhibit. These
grains were selected from all parts OF
the state and when put together in
the agricultural building it will make
a magnificent display for the state.
The agricultural products were re-
ceived here and put in shape by III. G.
Warner of Fo%restburg, who was ap-
pointed by the commission to look
after this feature.
Mr.. Warner said that particular care
had been taken to have everything Of
the best, and he feels that South Da-
kota will not be one whit behind its
neighbors or any Of the Eastern states
when it comes to agriculture. Mr..
Warner will leave for St. Louis at
once to receive the products and ar
range them in place in the agricul-
tural building. All of the installation
work in the way OF stands for the pa
vilion was made in this city on ac-
count Of labor being SO high in st.
Louis that the commission thought
money could be saved by having it
constructed here.
The location Of the building is an
advantageous one, standing as it does
at practically the entrance TO that
part of the grounds where it is stu
ated.

sELF.DEFENsE PLEA WINS.
Detective George Northam Acquitted
of Murder Charge.

Of Murder Charge.
George Northam has been acquit-
ted in the circuit court at Lead upon
trial for the murder of George Tall
man. which was committed at Lead.
The trial lasted six days and was n
of the most closely contested and
widely observed cases heard in the
circuit court here for many years.
Self-defense was pleaded by the at
torneys for Northam, who alleged that
Tallman had been a dangerous char
acter and had repeatedly threatened
Northam with serious punishment.
Northam has for many years been a
detective in the employ Of the Home
stake Mining company, and had re-
ported Tallman several times as being
intoxicated and engaged in gambling.
This had caused Tallman to be laid
off by the company and had engen-
dered great bitterness.
Tallman was killed Jan. 10, 1904.
He was in the Oak saloon at Lead
when Northam entered. He accosted
Northam and began abusing him.
Northam endeavored to pacify him,
but Tallman, who was partially intox-
icated {. the time. struck Northam a
violent blow in the face. At this
Northam drew his revolver and fired
instantly, the ball striking Tallman in
the abdomen. Tallman's death result
ed a few hours later.
Much testimony was introduced by
the defense to show that Tallman was
disposed to be quarrelsome when in.
t~oxicated, and that he was a cruel,
vicious adversary in an encounter;
that he was superior physically to
Northam, and that the latter had rea-
son to believe that he was in danger
of great bodily harm, il not death. at
Tallman's hands. The widow of Tall
man and his three children were pres.
ent throughout the trial. The testi
mony of Mrs. Tallman, and the intro
ductIon by the state of the bloody
garments Tallman had worn at the
thine of the shooting. containing large
rents and blood stains. were graphic
incidents during the proceedings OF
the trial.
The court room was packed
throughout the six days Of the trial
and much interest was manifested
owing to Northam's position and
prominence. He had for several years
been chief Of police at Lead and was
a deputy sheriff at the time Tallmar
was killed. He was defended by
Chambers Keller, n of the attorneys
Of the Homestake Mining company
and j. B. Moore, formerly judge of the
Eighth judicial circuit.

extent that the cattle raiser must

This means hat the herds must be
reduced to meet both the require
ments of a restricted range, and to
be brought to a size where the owner
can look after them and raise the nee
essary grain and forage to fatten
them for market. This means further
that the growing of corn and fodder
in the cattle country will be encour-
aged in the future instead of dis

OPENING OF ROSEBUD RESERVATION
Interested in the neutrality-suspicious.
Martin Talks With Him on the Subject.

President Roosevelt is taking a
lively interest in the plans that are
being made for opening parts of the
Rosebud reservation In South Dakota
and the Red Lake reservation In Min
nesota. The Red Lake bill has al
ready become a law and the Rosebud
bill has passed the house and is before
the senate.
, The president has given his views
as to how the land should be disposed
of, and told Representative Martin
that he did not favor the plan OF the
Rosebud bill to dispose of the land
at a fixed price. He prefers a public
auction. thinking this will give larger
returns to the Indians. The South
Dakota delegation favors the fixed
maximum price, and has thus far re-
fused to amend the bill now pending.
Representative Burke, who is pushing
the bill, although aware of the presi-
dents views, has relied on changing
them by argument before the bill goes
60 the White House.
From what the president told Mr..
Martin there is no chance of doing
this. and unless the bill provides for
a public auction il win be vetoed.
Rather than run this chance. of
course the bill will be fixed UP to suit
the presidents views. This PROPOSE

STORMS DRIFT STOCK.
Big Ranchnen's Loss Increased by
Billiards and Heavy Snow.

CItZZdTdo o''o stCoNy
The loss to the owners Of the larger
cattle outfits who are wintering their
cattle on the ranges has already been
large, and that their misfortunes will
be further increased there seems no
doubt.
The cattle drifted with the late
storms from their ranges into the set
Elements, where they tarried for days
without feed and water. The owners
are doing their utmost to drive them
back to where they can get grass
enough to keep them alive, but many
are so weak that it is doubtful if they
can be brought back to their feeding
grounds.
The snow of last week, which fell to
q depth of nearly a foot and a half,
has added much to the gravity Of the
situation, and stockmen agree that
1t will be the cause of adding greatly
to the mortality. The smaller out
fits, who have their cattle confined
within winter pasturage, are not losing
any.
1t is thought the losses will have a
tendency to break up the open range
system. The limits are narrowed by
fences and the conditions are bad,
and yearly growing worse, for those
who depend upon the open range for
winter provender for their herds.
