r. o. Jones Of IPSWICH Issues Valuable
SUGGESTIONS on the Disease,

ID. r. Jones Of Ipswich, member OF
the state live stock commission, has
issued the following valuable letter OF
advice to farmers and stockmen re-
garding the determination of the dis
ease known as scabies:
THE season of the year is at hand
when every farmer and cattleman in
South Dakota should consider himself
committee of one for the purpose of
exterminating the disease commonly
known as scabies in cattle. Every
person having knowledge of, or having
the least suspicion that the disease ex-
lists in any part Of his county, should
at once notify the county cattle in
spector of that county of such fact,
and the law defines the, duties Of such
inspector in the case. 1t is not the in
tention of the inspector, nor OF the
state live stock commission, to work
any hardship to any person or persons.
but it is the sworn duty Of those Off
cials to see that the law is carried out
as far as possible.
at is acknowledged by all federal
best law governing the live stock in
dustry of any state in the Union, and
it is fact that had not such law been
enforced as strictly as 1t was during
the past year South Dakota would be
under close quarantine. Many of those,
if not all. who were opposed to the en-
forcement of the dipping law and the
rules laid down by the state live stock
commission and federal authorities to-
day see their mistake and acknoWl-
edge that the very best thing has been
done that it was possible to do in try
ing to eradicate the disease by the
strenuous effort which was made.
81 am of the opinion that if we make
an effort to drop everything that is af-
fected or exposed it will not only help
us in disposing of our stock but 1t Will
prevent any future danger of quaran-
tine and will have a very beneficial
effect in bringing purchasers for our
feeders. We have been treading very
close to the danger line and only the
united effort of every stOckman VIII
result in eradicating the disease en-
tirely from this part of the state. The
law should be enforced in every par
ticular, especially that part wherein
government supervision comes in.
"At the present time federal inspec-
tors and the bureau of animal indus
try recognizes only as being effective
a dip made of lime and sulphur or or
tobacco and sulphur, and while other
dips NAV be as effective in eradicating
lice, they are not recognized as being
effective in cases of scabies, and scab-
les is the disease we are after"

ISLAND KING OF BIG MUDDY.
Man for Whose Benefit the Missouri
River Built an Island.

One Of the best known river charac
ters IN South Dakota is Eli Fort who
for period of twenty-five years has
received the greater part of his in
come from catching fish in the Mis-.
souri, river
He is now the owner of an island
formed by the whirling waters of the
river, which came into existence
through the obstruction formed by the
loss of some of his fish traps in the
river Fort states that thirteen years
ago he lost three or four large fish
traps at the point where his island is
no wsituated.
He expected to get good hauls of
fish when he went to raise his traps
three days after they had been placed
in the river, but found they were so
weighted down with sand that they
could not be removed. Fort thought
it was all clear loss at that time, as he
little dreamed that the loss of the
traps would cause him to become the
| owner of one of the most valuable
islands in the big Muddy"
A sandbar formed over the obstruc-
ton made by the fish traps and each
year the sandbar grew larger Finally
cottonwood and willow trees covered
the tract. The last four years the
island formed in this unique manner
has grown until the surface is now
entirely above high-water mark.
Mr. Fort is of the opinion that he
has. after all, been we'll paid for the
loss of his traps, Some of the cotton
wood trees on his trap-formed island
have grown to such an extent that
they are as much as five inches in di-
ameter. The island is many acres in
extent and doubtless will each year
continue to grow larger. Fort has
seven acres cleared which he will put
in crop the coming season. He is now
devoting some Of his attention to deal
ing in fruit and forest trees and states
that he expects to have twenty thou
sand living fruit trees on the island
within the next four years.
His island is located near American
island, one of the well-known islands
of the Missouri river. Should the ac-
ton OF the stream continue to add to
his island, as expected, Fort will be
come known as the Island King of the
Missouri.

SCHOOL LAND SELLS WELL.

The sale of the Hand county school
land. the first time it has ever been
offered, resulted in disposing of 1,16O
acres at the average price of SIT an
acre A piece northwest of Wessing-
ton was bid off at $37 per acre, while
a forty a mile southwest of Miller
brought $32 an acre. There were no
people from a distance to bid, the
sales being made to residents Of the
county. The law permits only forty
acre lot to be sold at a time. 1t is be-
lieved that this plan is a hindrance
here to the sale of the land, where a
quarter section is considered too small
for farm. Land Commissioner Bach
who had charge of the sale, auctioning
off the land himself, stated that in nc
county in the state at it's first sale OF
school lands was the result more sat
isfactory than this sale. Had not one
half-section been sold at $40, the aver
age would have been $40 an acre in
stead of SIT.

AARON MYERS DEAD.
Last Of the Falls of the Sioux Settlers
Dies at Garreteson.

In the death Of Aaron Myers at Gar
retson one of the last, if not the last,
of the settlers who located at the Falls
of the Sioux in 1857 passed away. Mr..
Myers came as an employe of the Da-
kota Land company and was later
placed in charge of the business OF
that company at Saratoga, Mimi, on
the Cottonwood river, but was fright
ened away by the Indians. He Joined
the Shetek Lake settlement and escap-
ed massacre there at the time OF the
Indian raid of 1862, taking his family
in an OK wagon and starting for New
Ulm. only to find that place surround
ed by the Indians. He crawled into
the town and volunteered to go for re-
lief. and succeeded. All this time his
family was camped on the prairie, and
after the Indians were driven away he
reioined them and started for Man
kato, but on the way his wife died
from the effects of the exposure and
fright Mr.. Myers settled at Garretson
in 1882, and resided at that place up
to the time of his death.

Children playing on the hill one

To be suspected in those days was tC

custody that very day in Crook City
where he had pawned Lees watch
There were many discriminating cir
cumstances, but after a hard fought
trial he was cleared. Even then pub
lie sentiment was so strong against
him that he was taken back to jail for
safety. He returned afterward to his
home at Dassel, Minn and went into
the hardware business. A few years
afterward, while he was both men,

the memory of the dead man who was
once his friend that drove him to com
nit the deed, no one ever knew.

Indian trails also figured conspicu-
ously in the piebald civilization of
those days. The case most far-reach-
ing in it's influence was that of Crow
Dog, tried for the murder of Spotted
Tail on the Rosebud agency. Accord
ing to the laws in evidence at that
time Pretty Camp, Grow Dogs wife,
was not allowed to testify in his be-
half, though she knew that Spotted
Tail was drawing a gun at the time
Grow Dog shot. The result was that
there were but few witnesses in behalf
of the defendant. But Grow Dog was
a kindly old chap. Accordingly he
was given considerable liberty and
was permitted to go up on the hill
sides to pick kinnekinnick, which he
mixed with his tobacco, for smoking.
Through the grating of his cell one
day he saw the form of Jack Leyton,
a murderer, swung into eternity, and
he knew that a similar fate would be
his. He told the jailer that he was
going back to the reservation to say
goodbye to the squaws and pappooses,

WILL RAISE APPLES.
New Industry Develops in Western
South Dakota.

The apple-raising industry bids fair
to be one of the industries in western
South Dakota A few years ago it was
believed that this was not fruit
country, but recent experiments have
proved the contrary The exhibit car
that went out from the Hills last fall
took thirty-three varieties OF apples,
all of which had matured and were
equal in size, flavor and perfection to
any apples raised in any part of the
United States All the six counties in
the Black Hills were represented, but
the industry in this part of Lawrence
county is unusually well developed.
Joseph Wells, who has orchards
three miles west of Spearfish, says
that from an orchard of ten acres
MANY of the trees not bearing full
crops. he sold 3,374 bushels at an av-
erage price of 81 25 a bushel: that he
retained enough for his own use, made
eight barrels of cider and sold $l0O
worth of cherries. plums and pears,
and cut from the same ground eighteen
tons of hay which he sold for So ton.
He figures that an orchard ten years
old. with thorough cultivation, Will pay
10 per cent on valuation OF $1,000
an acre when in full bearing with only
a partial crop.

and the jailer laughed; but one day
Grow Dog was gone. A few weeks
afterward a deputy hunting for him
met him at the agency at Rosebud.
'Tll not go back with you" said the
Indian, and the white man expected
resistance, but with the cunning of his
people the Indian disappeared. To the
surprise Of every one he arrived in
DeadwoOd soon afterward, several
days before the time set for his exc
cution.
Il go away alone, I come back
alone, he said; II go to say goodbye
to the squaw and pappooses; now | am
ready TO die
But he did not die.
The case was appealed and the SUI
preme court decided that the United
States had no jurisdiction over a
crime committed by one Indian
against another Indian in Indian coun-
try It was because this question of
jurisdiction was raised that congress
eventually passed an act giving the
united states courts JuIlSulCllOu over
Just such cases The only Indian ever
hung in Deadwood was Two Sticks
convicted of numbering some white
boys on the Pine Ridge reservation.
In these early days in this same old
court house came up for trial also
famous civil suits, concerning mining
round and companies. in which hun
lreds of thousands of dollars were IN
volved. There was the famous case
If the Richmond VS. the Sitting Bull
nine, and there was the Golden Re
ward-BuXton case. These both in
volved fine points of mining law and
created a tense public interest.
This old court house about to be de-
stroyed was built by Fred t. Evans,
formerly of Sioux City, and sold to the
county for $4,000. The new structure,
the plans for which were drawn by
Bell & Detweiler of Minneapolis, will
be a handsome structure of Black
Hills stone and brick, strong and
slightly.
But with the old court house will
pass the old days.

case which has attracted wide at
tention in legal circles and among
liquor men, because a final decision
will establish a precedent as to the
points involved, has resulted In mis-
trial at Yankton. and will come up for
hearing again at the next term OF
court
Mrs. Nettie McElwain brought suit
for $4,000 damages against Gustave
Schwink of a local brewing firm and
a surety company of Sioux Falls, al
leging that they were responsible for
the death OF her late husband, who
was run over and killed by a train
while in state of intoxication. In her
complaint Mis-. McElwain alleges that
her husband secured liquor in a sa-
loon owned and operated by the brew
cry; that he became intoxicated and
while in that condition was run over
and killed by train. Whether the
man committed suicide or not will
never be known, as there were no eye
witnesses TO the tragedy.
Judge Smith in his instructions to
the jury told them that IL they found
that McElwain secured liquor in the
saloon and that his death resulted
from his intoxicated condition, they
must find for the plaintiff. The jury
was out over twenty-four hours anu

They are said to have stood seven to

CHARGES THEFT OF CORN.
South Dakota Farmer Causes Arrest,
Alleging Burglary.


The alleged theft of about fifteen
bushels of corn, worth about S4 has
resulted in the arrest of Albert Baker
of Gregory county on the charge OF
burglary. Had the corn been carried
away from corncrib or granary the
charge would have been larceny, but
the corn was stolen from the dwelling
house of w E. Bridgeman, a Settler
on the ceded portion of the Rosebud
eservation, during the temporary ab-
sence of the owner; hence the alleged
crime comes under the more serious
head of housebrealing or burglary.
Bakers arrest was due to confession
made by Warren Benson. who was re-
Gently arrested on the charge or steal-
ing a bride or other property. Inc
trial OF the two men will take place at
