TABLES TURNED ON DETECTIVE.

homes" in order to escape G.. II. VIII
kie. a detective whose headquarters
are said to be at Pittsburg, but 0
the tables are turned, and if he is found
within the limits Of South Dakota he
will be placed under arrest.
Wilkie came west some months ago
at the solicitation of one OF the STOCK
associations for the purpose OF u
ing evidence against what appeared
to be a regularly organized band OF
cattle "rustlers," whose field OF opera
lions was along the Missouri river In
South Dakota and in tht northeastern
portion of Nebraska.
Now he is himself a fugitive from
justice. He Is wanted by the United
States authorities of South Dakota on
the same charge preferred against h
men upon whose trails he has been
c~amping-the alleged theft Of six or
eight head of horses from Indians and
others residing in the south central
portion of South Dakota
The United States authorities have
had the warrant for Wilkes arrest
since January. He left the state be-
fore it could be served, going to Sioux
City, where it is understood, he has
since made his headquarters.
Wilkie was in Sioux Falls recently
but must have become aware that q
warrant had been issued for his ar
rest, for when the United States au-
thorities learned Of his presence the
warrant was given to a deputy to be
Wilkie had disappeared.
He came to Sioux Falls for the pur-
pose OF testifying in behalf of Daniel
X. Robey, a white stockman, who is
being tried in the federal court on the
charge of having murdered James
Rames, a mixed blood Sioux Indian.
whose home was on the Rosebud res
ervation.
1t is thought Wilkie has returned to
Sioux City. A great sensation has
been created here by the TACT that he
is wanted by the United States u
thorities, and the knowledge Of his
flight, and a still greater sensation
will be caused in the central and
southern portions of the state, where
he has a wide acquaintance.
Some of the horses which were al
legged to have been stolen by him
were traded to the proprietor of a
Chamberlain hotel.

WANT RURAL DELIVERY.
Farmers Near Twin Brooks Will Try
AGAIN.

The farmers in the vicinity of Twin
Brooks have renewed their efforts to
have a rural free mail delivery route
established. An effort was made last
fall, but an inspector who went over
the proposed route made an unfavor-
able report owing to the fact that the
roads were in very bad condition.
Another inspector will travel over the
proposed route early in May, and as
the roads are now in good condition
1t is believed he will make a favorable
report and that the desired route will
be placed in operation early in the
summer. Scores of farmers and their
families will be benefited.

THE GOOD OLD A
Sioux indians Cling to the Ancient
Style Of Making Love.

Style Of Making Love.
While the Sioux Indians are quick
to adopt the modes of living and ideas
of the whites in many ways, yet the
young braves tenaciously cling to the
custom of the fathers in their manner
of making love.
An effort was recently made by
a Carlisle graduate of Crow creek to
introduce the way of the paleface in
affairs Of the heart, but his method
(that Of having a third party intro
duce the matrimonially inclined IN
dian to the squaw Of his choice) was
declared out of order by nearly all and
the custom of the fathers will remain
When the youth decides that it is
time for him to marry he %conceals
himself behind a rock or a bush near
the path along which the object OF
his heart is supposed to travel and
when she appears the old fashioned
introduction of springing at her and
grasping her in his arms occurs. II
the crude introduction is met with a
ferocious rebuke then the youth will
wait a few days and repeat the intro
duction.
If more than seven rebukes are ac-
corded him he will introduce himself
to another maiden. Quite generally
the first or second effort is successful.
1t is not long after the primitive ac-
quaintance or introduction before the
young people get a license and are
married by a minister OF justice the
same as the whites. A near-sighted
brave once sprang from behind q
bush to introduce himself. The squaw
was married and she rebuked the love
sick Indian as he grabbed her with
the two pals of water that she was
carrying.
Once introduced and married the
Indian ome begin their life of toll
and woe be to the brave who would
attempt an introduction.
