Po,d uRustlers" Make Raids In
Broad Daylight In Close Proximity
TO Towns and Villages On the Rose
bud-SettIers Lose Much Stock.

Daring bands of cattle and horse
'rustlers'' are reaping a rich harvest as
the result of frequent raids on the nun
dreds of settlers who recently occupied
the coded portion of the Rosebud Indian
reservation in the Bonesteel country.
Not even the cattle and horses belonging
10 eastern society bellies who are hold
ing down claims" in the coded are
safe from the raids Of the 'horrld
outlaws.
Recently the "rustlers" have become
very bold in their operations, making
many of their raids in broad daylight
and in proximity to the thriving and wei
populated little cities which have sprung
into existence throughout the coded por-
ton of the reservation.
Bolder raids were not made during the
palmy days of Jack" Sully II his
band of outlaws, who until the death or
the leader at the hands of a posse OK
officers carried on their operations on
both sides of the Missouri River, in the
south central portion Of the state.
The "rustlers'' whose depredatiOns are
at present proving costly to the settlers
on the ceded Rosebud lands appear to
have selected the country i'll the vicinity
of Burke, one of the new towns, as their
principal field Of operations. Settlers
in that locality have thus far been the
heaviest losers. Many cattle which were
being grazed in well fenced pastures
have recently disappeared mysteriously.
The matter has been reported TO
States Attorney BackLS, Of Gregory
County, who declares that the thieves
will be run to earth or driven out of the
country, no matter what the cost to the
county. Special officers will be sworn
in for the express pur, of putting an
end to the depreciation, OF the rus
tiers"
If these steps prove unsuccessful the
settlers say they will organize an anti
horse thief league or similar organization
and take matters into their own hands,
with the promise that every horse and
cattle ''rustler" will be landed in the
penitentiary, driven out of the country
or killed.
Preliminary to the warfare to the
death between the officers and settlers
on the one side and the "rustleTs" on the
other, the settlers, society bellies includ-
ed, are being urged to brand all animals
owned by them as a means of identitica-
ton in the event that they are stolen.

ATE WILD
Sioux Falls Little Girl Thought rhey
Were Artichokes.

Mistaking wild parsnips for ~artichokes
nearly cost the life Of Myrtle Sweet. the
13-year-old daughter of Jessie Sweet, re-
siding near Sioux Falls. The girl, by an
exhibition of rare presence of mind,
saved her own life. Both her parents
were absent at the time she ate the wild
parsnips and realized that she had been
poisoned. Remembering that her moth
er usually administered soda for internal
troubles, shetook a quantity, which
caused her to be relieved Of the greater
part of the poison. But nevertheless she
was in a serious condition when her
mother arrived and medical aid was
summoned.
1t required some heroic and lively
work to save her life even then, and the
physician gave it as his opinion that
had she not taken the soda nothing could
have saved her.

Final rejection of union demands, espe-

officially announced at Chicago Wednes-
day by the Employers Association. They
demanded practically unconditional sur
render. Neither side in the strike made a
direct step towards peace and each was
apparently waiting the next move of its
opponent. The employers sent their goods
all over the city under police protection
without ~encountering violence. There
was one peace effort Wednesday and it

there was no good news at night for eth

The strike in the lumber district
spread Wednesday with great rapidity
and practically all business Of that kind
was at a standstill. Some few lumber
yards are still in operation, but their vol
ume of business is so small as to amount
TO practically nothing. A number of
planning mills and sash an< door factories
were compelled to shorten operations

Ford pleaded guilty to the charge of
opening mail which passed through her

WORK or A NEGRO MADMAN
Kills One Man and Wounds Seven
More in Kentucky.

AOEC Ih
A special dispatch from Owensboro,
Ky, states that Bob Shaw, a negro.
supposed to be insane. has killed one
man and wounded seven in the past
twenty-four hours near Waitman.
William C.. Brown, deputy sheriff, is
dead.
The wounded are Deputy Marshal
John j. Jackson, DR.. G.. H.. Pitt, Town
Marshal Watson, James Ford, John Rob-
inson, Frank Howard aud Watson
Pelly.
Sunday afternoon Shaw was terroriz-
ing the community around Waitman and
an appeal was sent to the city for help.
A posse was at once formed, but as soon
as it approached the madman's house
he opened fire. Marshal Watson was
shot in the face and Deputy Marshal
Jackson in the back. Others wounded
were DR.. j. III. Pitt, in the hand; a boy
named Howard and a boy named Pelly,
in the legs.
Monday morning a posse headed by
Sheriff Kelly went from Lewisport to
w ullluuH ana IOuHu SndW SlttliS Oh Ills
front porch. Shaw quickly barricaded
himself in his house. The posse tried to
storm the house, but the negro opened
fire, wounding James Ford and John
Robinson. He apparently had only
small shot, which saved the lives Of
those he aimed at. Shaw was shot at
twice. He had two revolvers, but M
nounced that he would save them for
work at close quarters. A posse sur
rounded the house, keeping at a safe
distance. Monday afternoon Will G.
Brown, a deputy sheriff Of Hancock
County, volunteered to go to the house
and take Shaw. When within fifteen
feet of Shaw the crazy man fired, blow
ing Browns head completely off.
About 6 O'Clock at night a mob Of
men and boys surrounded his house and
set it on fire. Shaw remained in the
burning house as long as he could stand
the heat, and finally leaped out and
tried to escape. Nearly 100 shots were
fired and Shaw's body was riddled with
bullets.
