PRICE ON RusTLERs' HEADS.
New Methods of Routing Cattle
Thieves Is Applied.

Thieves Is Applied.
Angered by the continued theft of
cattle and horses, the ranchmen resid-
ing in Stanley county have adopted a
new method of tracing the ''rustlers"
so they may be brought to justice.
In the past it has been customary
for cattle and horse raisers, when
their herds have been raided, to offer
minimum rewards for the detection
OF the thieves and recovery of the
stolen animals. These rewards have
not been large enough to tempt weak
kneed members of the gang of thieves
to betray their pals, and the result has
been that the thefts have continued.
1t is conservatively estimated that dur
ing the last year a sufficient number
OF horses alone to mount small
army have been stolen from the ranch
men living in this and other parts of
Stanley county.
Under the leadership of A. j Hauge,
one Of the most prominent ranchmen
in the county, new method is now to
be adopted, which it is hoped will have
good results. Recently Mr.. Hauge had
three head of horses stolen, and in
stead of offering the customary paltry
reward of $25 or $50 for information
which would lead to the recovery of
the animals and detection of the
thieves, he has offered reward of
$500 for the arrest and conviction of
the person or persons who stole the
horses.
1t is believed that the Offering of
reward of this size will encourage
some of the 'rustlers" to give way
their pals, and that by this means
Sc and cattle "rustling" in Stanley
i.nty will become a thing of the
: st, as in Lyman county, where Wig
orous and persistent crusade against
the thieves has reduced thefts to the
minimum.
The legitimate cattle and horse
raisers will endeavor also to discour-
age the practice of some of the ranch
men who when called upon have not
hesitated to furnish bonds for those
who are arrested on the charge of
stealing horses and cattle.

NATURAL GAS.
Found Within Thirty Miles of Sioux
Falls

Found Within Thirty Miles of Sioux
Falls.
Some twelve or fifteen years ago a
flow of natural gas was discovered on
farm eight miles west of Marion
junction. At that time, for some I'M
known reason, the report Of the dis
covery was silenced and was thought
by many to have been one of those
boom agitations.
During the past few weeks there
have been reports of the finding of
natural gas in large quantities in the
Silver lake region of Turner and
Hutchinson counties, and while it has
been rumored that numerous stran-
gers have recently visited and investi-
gated that region, but few thought of
taking the matter seriously until last
week.
Secretary of State D. D. Wipf, resi-
dent of Hutchinson county, and num-
Der of Pierre people came to Dolton
last Friday and after giving the matter
careful investigation concluded that
, there is natural gas in that vicinity
and that it's development is possible.
In fact it is assured by specialists that
it can be secured without any very
great expenditure of money!
A number of capitalists, headed by
Mr.. Wipf. after making the prelimi-
nary arrangements with the land own
ers, organized a company and have in
corporated unler the laws of South
Dakota, with the intention of imme-
diately sinking and securing appar.
atus.
The company intends to have a sup
ply of the gas ready for commercial
use during the next thirty days and
soon as possible it will be piped to the
adjacent towns, where it may be Sc
cured very cheaply for lighting and
heating purposes.
Since number of able men have
taken hold of the enterprise, it is GER
tainly genuine and its success is as
sured, which will materially aid the
people Of this section.

A GLOOMY FORECAST.

The spe n delivert by NJ. Ivenof,
the celebrated Russian lawyer, at the
trial Of Kaleieff, the murderer of the
Grand Duke of Sergius in st. Peters
burg. has caused considerable discussion.
The proceeding WAS before a special tri'
buual, composed of members of the
"Ruling Senate" and was held behind
closed doors at Moscow. lvenOff was
subsequently, arrested for discussing the
trial at meeting of barristers. bis
speech has been circulated by hundreds
Of thousands by the social revolution

Among other things Nj. Ivenof said
Gan understandable political move
ment as a result Of the complete bank
ruptcy of our present economic, political
aud military systems has produced the
present condition of affairs in Russia.
Every section of the empire is in revolt,
workmen have perished by hundreds in
the streets of the capital. In the smoke
of burning estates the peasant is looking
for a solution of the conditions which
are grinding him down. Two great
forces are al war; the old regime, estab'
lished centuries ago, and young Rus
sia, which aspires to liberty. Hope
that this struggle can end psclfcsl.
ty is lost. Civil war is close at hand, anu
in the history of this great battle the
social revolutionary party will be found
to have written the most striking and
terrible page, for it has written 1t IN its
own blood and the blood Of those whom
il considers the enemies OF the people.
Having chosen political murder as an
instrument, the revolver and the bomb as
arms. the social reyolutionaries seek by
terror to accelerate the political liberia
tion of Russia. But it is not cowardly
murder. The social revolutiOnaries under
stand very well that it is impossible for
the masses of the people with pitchforks

The social reyOlutOnarlt can only

century. 1t is true they are the imPlso-
able enemies of the present regime, and
they do not ask for themselves mercy.
They face death sentences as men court
death on the field of battle. The pro-
curer is right. They do not only menace
the lives of others, but they throw away
their own lives with the recklessness OF
madness. They make others perish.
but they perish themselves. Kaleieff
will die also and ] have only one request
to make of you: Do not look upon him
as criminal, but as an enemy after the
battle, aud in pronOuncing your verdict
remember that in the future the bloody
sunrise of which is already upon the
horizon, all the past will be weig he'd

balance too heavy; it already contains

MANIAC ON WAR PATH.

After holding one Thousand persons al
bay for two hours in Eddy street, San
Francisco, eaily yesterday, shooting nine
people and defying the police, Thomas
Lobb, a maniac, killed himself.
The insane man was barricaded in his
room, on the fourth floor of the United
States Hotel, l22 Eddy street.
Lobb went to the hotel Tuesday night.
Yesterday morning he began throwing
furniture from the windows to the street.
Several persons narrowly escaped being
struck. He then began firing, using a
shotgun. He placed $50 and 800 bills
in the muzzle of the. weapon, and frag-
ments of the paper were scattered over
the street. A big crowd quickly gather
ed. Hundreds of men were afraid to
pass the hotel. Street car traffic was en-
tirely suspended after one car had been
fired upon and its windows broken.
Police Lieutenant Green rushed a
squad of police to the scene, among the
officers being FIVE members of the crack
rifle team of the department. They
were unable to accomplish anything,
however. AS the maniac was strongly in
trenched in his room and appeared ia
have an unlimited amount of ammuni-

IL was determined that he must be cap
tured dead or alive, and all the rooms
adjoining the one he occupit were filled
with armed officers. A lively fusillade
was begun though the door, transom snd
walls Of the madman's stronghold, tt
which he replied with remarkable rapid

ceiling and walls, and the police wer'
