An amendment to the general deficiency

LYMAN COUNTY EXTENSION.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway has decided upon an extern
sion of it's line from Chamberlain
west through Lyman County, opening
up region Of cheap lands, rich In
agricultural resources, and in which
there is already much decided land,
also large acreage that may be had
under the homestead law. Lyman
County is in the southern part of
South Dakota, adjoining the Rosebud
Indian Reservation on the north.
The soil OF Lyman County is one Of
the richest in the state. 1t has pro-
duced corn of an excellent quality,
having taken first prize at the Mitch
ell Corn Palace during several of the
past exhibits. 1t is well adapted TO
the growth of wheat, oats, barley,
speltz, and other small grains. Land
is selling now at the rate of from IS
to $12 an acre, and as soon as the
railway extension is made 1t is safe
to say that such lands will increase in
value from 100 to 200 per cent. I
All that Lyman County has lacked
heretofore has been ability to get
products across the Missouri river to
markets. The extension of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway
will solve that problem and will make
it one of the richest sections in the
West

TWO STATES ARE
AFTER SHERCL|FEE
Oklahoma and Washington
Authorities Seek
Him.
MORE CRIMES ARE ALLEGED
Oklahoma Wants Iowa to Honor Re-
quisition--Authoritie Claim They
Prove Case BY Bullet Hole Through
Garment.

Des Moines, April 10.-The state OF
Washington and the territory Of Ok
lahoma are after Frank Shercliffe,
who may be called on to testify
against Tom Dennison at Logan, April
II, If Dennison's efforts to secure a
change of venue on that date is a
failure. ..
The Oklahoma officers are in town
now, and say they will appear before
Governor Cummins today to ask for
a warrant for Shercliffe that they
may take him to Oklahoma for trial
on charge Of burglary committed
fourteen years ago.
Washington officials have written
to the executive office asking when
the state of Iowa will be through
with Shercliffe that he may be taken
back there for trial on a charge OF
burglary.
Governor Cummins returns from
Washington this morning and the ex-
pectation is that he will then hold a
hearing in which the Oklahoma Off
GERS will ask for Shercliffe. However,
there is a possibility that they may
not appear.
This suggestion is made on the
strength of the files on record in the
executive office as to Shercliffe and
which show that he was in the prison
of the state of Utah at Salt Lake
City on the date that the Oklahoma
burglary occurred for which the Off
GERS have come for him.
Not only the files show this, in the
handwriting of the warden of the
penitentiary, but Shercliffe says he
has a very distinct recollection OF
the year he spent in the prison there.
The Washington officers at present
are not pressing their claim fcc
Shercliffe.
The Oklahoma officers brought with
them a shirt which they claimed that
the authorities took off Shercliffe
when he was arrested for burglary.
The shirt has hole in it big enough
to toss dog through. They say that
when Shercliffe was in the act of COM
hitting the burglary he was caught
by the property owner, who peppered
him with his revolver. This, they
say, was the origin of the hole in the
shirt ..
Now, say they, If Shercliffe will
submit to putting on the shirt they
will demonstrate to the governor
that there was once bullet hole in
| him identical in location with the
hole in the shirt, proving that he is
the man who did the burglary.
| Shercliffe, of course, Is perfectly
confident that Dennison is response
BILE for the sudden activity of the Ok
lahoma people. He said that an
agent of Dennison had informed him
that the Oklahoma action would be
begun.
