it did not affect the yield and quality,
it did send the crop close to the ground.

would have played havoc with profit

Unrecorded Fate Of Ranchman
in Butte County Covered

COMPASS NEAR THE BODY
Man Had Probably Been Fatally
Wounded in Fight and crawIed
Into Hole to Die from the
Effects.

Lead, s. D., Nov. 22.-Alex Cruick-
shank, horse raiser living on the
Grand river, in Butte county, arrived
in the city and reports that few days
ago While riding after some stray
horses he came across the skeleton OF
a man With some of the clothing and
flesh still clinging to the bones. When
found the skeleton, or that part Of it
which the coyotes had not carried off,
was hole made by the unrooting of a
big pine tree. Near the skeleton was
found compass, q knife scabbard and
several little trinl1ets. One the trunk
of the skeleton was the remains of
what had once been a heavy overcoat,
and hole in the back, just behind the
left shoulder, gave evidence of the
cause of the mans death, lor 1T was
just the size of a 45-caliber bullet From
all appearances it was the skeleton of
man about six feet tall and had not
been in its position by the tree for more
than Il year or so.
Mr.. Crunckshank, SO soon as he ar
rived in Lead. notified the sheriff of
Butte county and that official has
starte for the scene of the find.
Some years ago in that vicinity there
was considerable trouble between the
sheep men and the cattle men, and it
is believed by many that the man 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.

Pierre, s. D.. Nov. 1s.-when thel

third more population than did the;

population OF the two states is prac-

The couple were out shooting when

was riding in the buggy, to jump from
the vehicle in fright AS the animal
jumped it knocked down the gun of
Professor Callin, and the weapon was
discharged. Most of the charge en-

Cole at the same time was Slightly
wounded in the wrist. Quickly tear

INDIAN BELLE ELoPED.
But the Pearl Of Her Eye and Herself
Were Put in Lookup.

Chamberlain, S. D., Nov. 20.-Society
circles among the Sioux Indians on the
Yankton and Crow Creek reservations
have been scandalized by the elopement
of an Indian beau Gnd belle, which was
carried out with all the picturesque
features which distinguish the elope-
ment of white persons
The principals in the Indian elope-
ment were Blanche daughter of
Sioux warrior named Old Man. whose
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-
band recently instituted an action for
divorce. in approved white style.
In her divorce suit she asked that she
be restored to her maiden name,
Blanche Old Man.. The elopement of
the girl and her brother-in-law took
place while her divorce suit was pend
ing, she 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 elopers made all
haste to Buffalo county. where they
took refuge on the Grow Creek reser-
vation.
Acting in accordance with instruc-
tions from the authorities of Charles
Mix county, Sheriff Gebhart. of Buffalo
county, after an all days drive, located
the elopers 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 elopers are of the younger gener-
alton of Sioux Indians, and both speak
English fuently, having been we'll ed
ucated in the government schools. They
are between 20 and 25 years of age.
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
isteel bars of the separate cells.

Sioux Falls. S. d., Nov. 20.-Charles
Stacey, q restaurant man of Viborg.
situated 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 preliln-
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
i'm session In Sioux Falls last month,
but the evidence was deemed insuffi-
'cient and the case was dismissed.
However, w. A. Simpson. deputy in-
ternal revenue collector for South Da-
.kota, was satisfied that Stacey was
selling liquor in violation of the fed
:eral statutes, and SO decided to do q
little detective work on his own ac-
count. He maintained watch over
iiStacey's place of business until he had
secured evidence which warranted his
arrest, as stated, and every effort will
be made to secure the conviction of the
defendant when the case is tried.
