DON'T LIKE TO ATTEND SCHOOL,
Two Indian Pupils Again Escape From

The authorities of the government
Indian school at Flandreau have two
white elephants on their hands in
the persons of John Johnson and
Charles Barker, Sioux Indian boys,
whose homes, it is understood are on
the Rosebud reservation. The two
boys have a decided aversion to at
tending school, and on several occa-
sions they have left school and at
tempted to reach their distant homes.
On one occasion they had walked the
greater part of the distance to the
Rosebud reservation, when they were
caught and returned to the Indian
school. They have been caught twice
in Dell Rapids.
The two boys have one more disap-
peared from the Flandreau school and
officers along the route to the Rosebud
reservation have been instructed TO
keep a close watch for the runawayS.
The authorities of the Indian school
have this season paid more than 500
in rewards for the return OF the two
boys.

SAYS PRISONER is DEMENTED.

The man who a few evenings ago,

broke one of the show windows of a
business house at Sioux Falls, after
which he distracted some Of the goods
on display in the window and stood
his ground until arrested by a police
man. is ~deLlented, in the opinion of
chief Martin.
At the time it was believed the pris-
oner, who gives his name as Hugh
Connors and his residence as Albany,
N. Y, broke the window with the de-
liberate object of being placed in Jail,
where he would be fed and provided
with lodgings. In the event that it is
discovered that he is not demented. a
state Isl may be instituted against
him as the result of the breaking of
the window and theft of the goods,
and he may secur a much longer
term of Imprisonment than he desires.
This is Connors' second visit to
Sioux Falls the past few weeks. On
the occasion of his prior visit he ap-
piled to Chief Martin for food.

SHEEP HERDER WAS SHOT.
Bold Robbers Steal Sheep, but Dog Is
Left-May Furnish CIeW.

Left-May Furnish CIew.
The capture of a dog may result in
the apprehension of three men, whose
identity at present is unknown, who
were implicated in an unusually bold
attempt to assassinate Earl Reeves,
a herder in the employ of Jim Hay
ward, a sheepman whose ranch is stu
| ated in the interior of the coded Sioux
lands, between the Missouri river and
the Black Hills, in western South
Dakota.
1t appears the herder had moved
a flock of about 100 sheep to a new
| range while working them from their
| summer range to the home ranch. 1t
was his practice to sleep on his
blankets on the prairie near the flock.
On the night Of the attempted as
sassination the herder was aroused
from his slumber by a noise near him.
He could dimly see the forms of three
| men and started to arise when one OF
| his mysterious visitors cautioned him
to lie still, and, without warning, fired
pOint-blank at the astoniShed and
drowsy herder with a rifle.
The heavy ball tore through Reeves
body and he fell back as though he
had been killed instantly. 1t is be
lieved his a~ssailants then attempted
to drive away the sheep, as they were
afterwards found at a point o five
miles away badly scattered, but pre-
sumably abandoned the attempt for
some reason.
Reeves soon recovered from the
shock of being shot, and, pressing
some rags into the Gaping wound
with the assistance of a neighbor made
his way to a point where he could Sc
cure a conveyance to the nearest town
An examination by a physician led
to the discovery that the bullet enter
ed the herder's body on the left side
about three inches from the heart anC
passed around the body, lodging III
the shoulder. The wound, fortunately
was not a fatal one.
Reeves secured possession of a dog
which was left behind by the three
men who tried to kill him, II 10Y
the authorities are trying to discover
the identity of the attempted assas
sins by means of the dog.
If it can be discovered to whom the
dog belongs, arrests will promptly
follow.

RICH ORE IN BINGHAM TUNNEL
Specimens of Free Gold Ore Taken
From Hidden Fortune Mine.

VIZ s''N@S'f 49,
Some very high grade ore has been
discovered in the Bingham tunnel on
the Hidden Fortune property north OF
Lead. Specimens of free gold have
been taken out that will equal the
rich strike made by Otto P. Th. Grantz
on the top of the hill four years ago.
This Bingham vein runs through the
property in a northerly and %southerly
direction, paralleling some Of the big
Homestake veins. The company Is
taking twenty ton a day from this big
vein down to it's mill below DeadwOod
and about fifty tonS from the surface
workings on the south end of the prop
erty, making a tonnage of seventy tons
daily. AS soon as the Bingham vein
is opened farther the tonnage will be
doubled. Remarkable success is being
attained in the company's cyanide
plant, where Improvements have been
made by Freeman Steels, the chemist
in charge. The company had a diff
cult problem to solve in the saving of
the free gold. The ore in the fiat
measures carries considerable wolfra-
mite, and this is now being saved at
the mill.
1t is believed that the %Spearfisl COM
pany has encountered a second contact
of ore in it's Ragged Top ground. If
this be true it is a remarkable discov-
cry, since it has been generally sup
posed that the lime formation of Rag
ged Top has but the upper contact. A
shaft has been sunk which has encOun-
tered a blanket of ore forty feet liz
thickness. This will give the Spear
fish company a vast amount OF low
grade ore. The grade in the new shoot
is equal to that found in the upper o
tact. The Spearish mill is treating
800 tons of ore daily and the company
is paying a dividend Of about 6 per
cent per annum on the capital stock.

for several moments to gaze in open
mOuthed wonder at this thing, and
then turning to the optician he asked:
what is it, boss?' That is an oph-
thalmometer," replied the optician, in
his gravest manner. "Sho'!" muttered
the old man to himself, as he backed
out of the door, his eyes still fastened
upon the curious lookin gthing on the
counter; "sho', OATS what "a afear-

TREsPASS CASES.

truders.


The state land department is busy
these days looking after trespassers on
state lands. Several men are kept IN
the field all the time, and every part
of the state is being watched. In many
| cases the amount claimed by the state
Is paid on demand, and in others those
| who have been using the state lands
| without authority have to be shown
| that the department means business
before they will settle. But he work
is bringing results, both in the way OF
increased and fewer tres

what they were two years ago, when
