Charges of Appropriation of PubIi
Land by Fraudulent Methods Are
Made Against Stockmen in
Western Part Of State.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 23.-A war
fare against stockmen and others VINO
during the past few years are alleged
to have secured vast tracts of govern
ment land in western South Dakota by
fraudulent means, has been begun by
Dakota.
The methods employed In the al
legged wholesale grabbing of the public
domain are said to be similar to those
employed by ranchmen in western Me-
braska. AS the opening chapter in the
litigation the United States authori-
ties in this city have instituted civil
the object OF having the federal courts
cancel the patents that We're issued
by the government in cases where
fraud is alleged to have been used in
securing the land. One of the cases Ia
entitled the United States VS.. Ella
titled the United States vs. Emma NJ.
Pretzer and Carl Petan, and the de-
fendant in another case is John T..
Henry. Petan is one of the most
prominent stockmen in western South
Dakota.
It is alleged that Petan has enclosed
an aggregate of 1000 acres with q
fence. The government expects to
show that he induced a Miss Henry and
Miss Prefer to make homestead en-
tries on tracts of 100 acres each. and
that when they made final proof he
paid them in the neighborhood Of $3.50
each as an inducement for them to
transfer the homesteads to him. The
land entered by the young women is
said to be situated within the 1000
acre tract fenced by him. The action
against Ryan is on somewhat similar
grounds.
The beginning of these actions is

LID ON AT YANkTcN.
Officials There Want Liquor Law
Strinoentlv Enforced

Yankton, S. D., Jan 23.-The lid is to
go on in Yankton and Yankton saiUonmen
are to be made to be good.
The edict has been issued by States At
ltorney Wyman and served by Sheriff
Wright on the saloonmen of Yankton, and
the saloonmen in outlying towns of Yank
ton county will receive the same official
service in the near future. as the order will
affect every saloon man. in Yankton
county.
In substance the edict informs the saloon
men that the South Dakota liquor laws
are to be rigidly enforced. but gives the
saloon men until February to prepare for
the changed conditions, except the clause
referring to the closing hour, II O'clock,
which is to become effective at once.
If the order is enforced and the lid put
down and held down, as both officials say
1t will be, even II they have to sleep on It,
it will effect a great change in the saloon
business OF Yankton county, as heretofore
the saloon men have considered themselves
a law unto themselves and each one has
conducted his place just about as 1t suited
him Now the numerous window curtains,
bar screens. card tables, chairs pool
tables and billiard tables will have to go.
There will be no all night Joints" allowed,
as the law directs that the saloons of
South Dakota must close at II o'clock each
night and remain closed until 5 o'clock the
next morning during the week days. Sat
urday night the saloons must close at the
usual hour and remain closed until the
regular opening hour Monday morning.
Sheriff Wright and States Attorney Wy
man say the order was not issued without
due consideration. and assert that the law
will be strictly enforced during the remain
der OF their terms of office and through
.her second terms if they are reelected.
If they make good their announcement 1t
will he the first time In the history Of the
county that the saloon men have observed
tac letter or the spirit Of the state liquor
laws TX

the register. The bird then quickly re-
traced its flight and struck against u tele-
phone wire falling at George Jeffrey's
door step. He took 1t In and kindly killed
