one he pleased" Prater turned upon
Bentley and emptied his pistol at short
range, all five shots taking effect AT
ter he had fallen Bentley shot and
killed Prater. RUDE Morgan, friend
OF Prater's, who had shot Bentley af-
ter the latter had fallen, fired at Tom
and John Bowling, friends of Estep

mortally wounded by the Bowlings.
Bentley died soon after the shooting
and Morgan died two hours later Dur
ing the fight John Sadler, belonging To
the Prater gang, was dangerously

land left after the Indians receive
their allotments. All lands fronting
ON the water courses were taken up
some time ago, and most of the level
flats have since been taken.
A ruling made by Judge Garland in
the United States court is of great
interest to those living on or near In
dian reservations. 1t decided that it
is contrary to law to bring liquor to a
Indian allotment until the Indian has
received full patent for his land. AS all
Indian allotments cannot be sold for
twenty-five years after he has received
the first trust patent, it follows that
many years will elapse before liquor
will be allowed on Rosebud. Yankton,
