CHASTITY SKELETON

Unrecorded Fate Of Ranchman
in Butte County Covered

Effects.

Lead. s. D., Nov. 22.-Aiex Cruick-
shank, & horse raiser living on the
Grand river. in Butte county, arrived
in the city and reports that q few days
ago while riding after sone stray
horses he came across the skeleton of
a man With some Of the clothing and
flesh still ~cIiuging TO h bones. When
found the skeleton, or that part Of IL
which the coyotes had no carried off,
"a Il hole made by the I~2IrnOting OF 4
big pine tree. Near the skeleton vas
found a compass, n knife scabbard and
several little trinkets. one the trunk
Of the skeleton vas the remains Of
what had once been i heavy overcoat,
ana a hole in the back, just behind the
left shoulder, gave evidence OF The
cause Of the mans death, ror 1t was
just the size Of a 45-caliber bullet. From
all appearances it Was the skeleton Of
a man about six feet tall and had not
been in its position by the tree for more
than 4 yea or so.
MFR. C~ruuckEhank, 80 soon as he ar
rived e. Lead. notified the Sheriff Of
Butte county and that official has
starte for the scene of the find.
ON a ago in that vicinity there
was considerable trouble between the
sheep men and the cattle men, and it
is believed by many that the mar had
been shot and wounded in a fight over
the range and had craWled to the hole
by the pine tree for cover and had
there died of his wounds.

WALKED sIxTY-FlVE MILES.
Boy, Aged II, Ran Away from Schoo
and Wandered Home.

Bonesteel, S. D., Nov. lS.-Deputy Sheriff
Seasons sometime last month took his
three children, aged II, 10 and Is years re-
spectively, to the Indian school at Cham
berlain, a distance Of SIS miles northwest OF
this place, and the youngest boy, aged II,
being dissatisfied, left there last Wednes-
day to to return home.
The little fellow had but 25c which his
older brother gave him with which to buy
food on his way back; the young brother
walked a distance of th:rty-five miles the
first day and slept at night in a deserted
cabin on the banks of the Missouri riser.
Tire next day he induced an old man who
was coming down the river to cross him
and he then walked to Frank Nullen's
place, a distance of sfxty-ive miles from
Chamberlain, this distance being covered
in two days.
Mrs. Mullen. knowing the boy, hitched
up a team and brought young Isaac home
the next day. The reason he gave for
leaving was that there was too much
fighting going on among the pupils. The
principal Of the school at Chamberlain
was notified, and will be here to get the
young truant mex week.
This seems a remarkable feat as the
y%oungster is only II years old, small of his
age n had never been away from home
before.

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 1S.-When the

Viborg Restaurant Man Arrested b
Officials,

Sioux Falls, s. D., Nov. 20.-Charles
Stacey, a restaurant man of Niborg,
situate south of Sioux Falls on the
Great Northern railroad, was arrested
by Deputy United States Marshal Lamb
of this city on the charge of selling
liquor without having first secured a
government license.
The prisoner was brought to Sioux
Falls, and, as the result of his prelim-
mary examination before United States
Commissioner Conway, was held for
appearance before the next federal
grand jury. Stacey furnished bonds for
his appearance at the proper time and
was released from custody. An effort
was made to secure his Indictment by
a United States grand jury, which was
in session in Sioux Falls last month,
but the evidence was deemed insuttl-
Gent and the case was dismissed.
However, w. a. Simpson, deputy in
ternal revenue collector for South Da-
kota, was satisfied hat Stacey was
selling liquor in violation of the fed
eral statutes, and SO decided TO do a
little detective work on his own ac-
count. He maintained a watch over
Stacey's place of business until he had
secured evidence which warranted his
arrest, as stated, and every effort will
be made to secur the conviction OF the
defendant when the case is tried.

it appeared probable that the famesi
would pass dangerously near the town..
preparations were made to defend tnei
city. The fire department was placed
in readiness to instantly respond to the
call, and wagon loads of men armed
with grain sacks thoroughly soaked
were hurried to meet the fire, while.
others were set to work blowing fire.

On the way out the engine of the
special set fire to some grain stacks,
and the men had a little preliminary
practice in e~xtinguishing the flames.
A report reached Aberdeen that Leo
Ia, the county seat of Mcpherson
ty, had been destroyed by the prairie
fire, but this was disproven through
telephone communication with Leola.
An accurate estimate of the damage
done by the fire is impossible to OBJ
tain, as telephone communication with
the devastated region is exceedingly

on q tour Of inspection OF lands sub
iect to entry under the homestead laws
on the Sioux reservation west OF the
Missouri river. In h company were
fifteen employees Of the Chicago n
Northwestern railway, who VIII follow
the example Of many Of their associates
and enter homesteads. Many Of those
now going to the reservation are east
ern people who have little il any idea
OF pioneer life, and who will find that
holding down a claim" is no picnic
or SummcT outing.
\ continuous residence for five years
must he made upon the land, with IL
tiVatiOn sufficient to establish the fact
that the entry is not made for specu-
lation but for a home for the entryman
and his family. Communication may be
had at the expiration of fourteen
months, and by payment of not less
than 80 cents per acre for the land at
time Of making inal proof.
AS to railway and market facilities
the settler will be quite remote for q
number of years, unless fortunate
enough to secure a tract near the rail
way line now being extended from
Pierre to Rapid City through the
Black Hills region.
Not q few who have come from the
east with a view to entering govern
ment land have changed their minds
when they understood the requirements,
and have purchased farms, either i'm
proved or uninproYed, in this locality
and north and west from here. One has
little idea of the limited knowledge of
some homeseekers. For example, three
Illinois men came here with the inten-
ton of making homestead entries and
were astonished when they learned that
the land was not within a stones
throw Of prosperous cities, with
schools, colleges, churches, etc, and
that palace cars would not pass the
door of their shack" two or three times
daily.
-Four women, two from Iowa and two
from Wisconsin,, after learning what
must be lone to secure government
land, decided to abandon their purpose,
and all are now teaching school in this
county for $40 Ter month, and two OF
the quartet are in fair way to get
possession of farms and prosperous
young farmers without the vicissitudes
of pioneer life, but by the aid Of Cupid
who is always on the alert in this re
,giOn.

FINE FALL WEATHER.
1t Enables South Dakota Farmers t
Gather Crop.

Yankton, S.. D., Nov. 20.-The late
fall weather this year has been n OF
the most fortunate things that has
happened to farmers locally for some
time past A heavy wind of the past
summer Frustrated the corn, n While
it did not affect the yield and quality,
it did send the crop close to the ground.
-Four inches of snow would have Gov
cred three-quarters of the corn, winch
would have played havoc with profit
and yield. AS it is the splendid wealth
er has allowed interrupted picking I'M
til now one begins to hear of this and
that farmer getting through. A week
at most will practically see every
farmer safe with an unusually good
crop of sound corn. The weather has
added thousands to the pocketbooks OF
Yankton county farmers without a
question and the tiller of the soil is
smiling ~hereabouts and well he may.
Yankton citizens were yesterday
treated to the sight of a swift driven

which was caused last November by

The suit originally was instituted IN

based their claim for damages on the
ground that the oil in the lamp was
adulterated with gasoline, resulting in
the explosion which caused the death

case the jury awarded the plaintiff a

INDIAN BELLE ELOPED.
But the Pearl Of Her Eye and Herself
Mere Put in ockup

Chamberlain, S. D., Nov. z0.-Society
circles among the Sioux Indians On the
'Yankton n Grow Creek reservations
have been scandalized by the elopement
of an Indian beau and belle, which was
carried out with all the picturesque
features which distinguish the elope-
ment of White persons.
The principals in the Indian elOpe-
lnent were Blanche, daughter of a
Sioux warrior named Old Man, whose
home is on the Crow Creek reservation,
and Robert Spotted Eagle, a young
warrior who belongs to the Yankton
reservation. Blanche is the wife of a
brother of the warrior with whom she
eloped, but becoming tired of her hus-
inc recently instituted an action for
divorce, in approved white style.
In her divorce suit h asked that she
be restored to her maiden name,
Blanche Old Man. The elopement of
place while her divorce suit was pend
ing, h doubtless believing that as long
as she had commenced action she was
freed from her matrimonial bonds.
All three of the parties directly con-
cerned in the elopement. the two prin-
cipals and the deserted husband, re-
sided in Charles Mix county at the time
of the elopement. The clippers made all
haste to Buffalo county, where they
took refuge on the Grow Creek reser-
walton.
Acting in accordance with instruc-
tons from the authorities Of Charles
Mix county, Sheriff Gebhart, of Buffalo
county, after an all days drive, located
the clippers and placed them under ar
rest. They will be returned to Charles
Mix county for trial in the state circuit
court of that county.
The clippers are of the younger gener-
alton of Sioux Indians, n both speak
English fiuently, having been well ed
ucated in the government schools They
are between 20 and rs years of age. Z
They apparently were not worried BY
the predicament in which they found
themselves, and while in the Buffalo
county Jail spent hours making goo goo
eyes at each other through the grated
'steel bars of the separate cells.
