WORLDS RECORD.
Belle Fourche Ships More Cattle Than
AnY Other Place

Belle Fourche, S. D., March More
cattle are shipped yearly from the sta
tion in this city than from any other
one shipping point in the world. Belle
Fourche is without exception the larg-
est cattle shipping station in existence.
The yards are so equipped that Il train
of ten cars of cattle can be loaded in
six minutes. Quicker time than this
has been made. but this is fair aver
age. During the ]ast shipping season
$500 cars of cattle We're shipped within
ninety days, making Il total of nearly
100000 head. The fall of 1903 was the
banner year for cattle shipments and
in ninety days $7,000,000 worth of cat
tie We're shipped from the station here
at Belle Fourche. An immense cattle
country is tributary to this city, cattle
being brought in from four states,
Wyoming, Montana and North and
South Dakota. The range is almost
limtless, and within q radius of $50
miles some half Il million cattle are
grazing.

enacted by the republican majority III.

action taken at meeting in this city
some weeks ago by the democratic
state central committee.
The test case will come before Judge
Marquis. of the state circuit court for
Codington county, on Tuesday fore
noon of next week There is no doubt
that no matter how he decides the
case, the side which loses will appeal
the case to the state supreme court.
il is desired to secure a decision on
the matter from the highest court in
the state.
AS the action to test the constitu-
tionality of the new law was instituted
by the democrats, the republican state

South Dakota by engaging the services

ACT is CONSTITUTIONAL.
Bonding Company Will Lose Large
Sum as Rondsmen

Sioux Falls. S. d., March 26.-A de-
cls1on of Importance has just been rem
dered by the United States circuit
court of appeals at ST. Louis in case
arising from the United States court
of South Dakota, which involved the
2, 1903, which confers upon the federal
court of South Dakota jurisdiction in
certain cases where crimes are COM
mitted on Indian reservations.
The test case on the act was insti-
tuted by William c. Hollister and
Thomas Seaman, of Sioux Falls, the
United States being the defendant. The
suit directly involves the payment of
bond in the sum of 81, 900, which was
furnished by Messrs. Hollister and
Seaman in the case of Frank Waugh,
who was arrested by the United States
authorities under the act of February
2, 1909, on the charge of the larceny
Of stock belonging to Sioux Indians
living on the Rosebud reservation.
Waugh was member of the old
Jack" Sully gang of cattle and horse
'rustlers," and failed to put in an ap-
pearance at the time required by the
bond, which was declared forfeited.
From this action of the federal court
N this city the surety company, which
Is the real defendant i'm the case, app
oealed to the circuit court of appeals.
AS grounds Why the amount of the
bond should not be paid by the surety
company through the bondsmen it was
alleged that the act of February 2, 1903,

Assistant United States Attorney W. G.
Porter from the clerk of the circuit
court of appeals states that the act
under which Waugh was arrested is
held to be constitutional, and that the
bond is declared good, but that the case
has been remanded to the federal court

MEASURE TO Protect
RIGHTS OF SETTLERS
Homesteaders In Black Hills
Find Cause for Rejoicing
In the Relief Bill.
ON ACCOUNT OF FORESTS
III Homesteader is Removed from
Land Reserved for Forestry Exper-
iment He Must Be Given An
other Tract of Equal Value.

Custer. S. d., March 2I--The settlers
in the Hills, who have been so fearful
lest they would lose their homes on ac-
count OF the recent rulings, are over
Joyed With the bill which has recently
been introduced in congress for their
relief. An association Was formed last
summer for the purpose of seeing
what could be done regarding titles to
settled land i'm recent years. This new
bill embodies. in the main, sill that the
association requested 1t provides that
the secretary of agriculture may set
aside certain lands in the forest re-
serve on which entry may be made
under the homestead act, and if the
man who has already settled ON such
lands has lost his homestead right, an
additional right Will be granted him.
Besides making the entry and COM
plying With the law i'm other respects,
these settlers must pay $3.50 AN acre.
In Pennington and Lawrence counties,
no entry is allowed to me made except
such as may protect title to the lands
already occupied by the settlers. 1t is
further provided that the lands the
secretary may withdraw from the re-
serve. shall still be covered by the
quartz mining laws of the United
states and that no title TO the land
acquired under this act shall give title
to any stream within its boundaries
III Will thus be seen that agricultural
ana mining men are equally protected
and benefited by this bill: the one be-
ing assured that the agricultural inter-
estS shall not Interfere With either the
development of mining ground or the
question OF water supply.

A PROSPEROUS STATE.
South Dakota Now Leads Many olde,
States

Pierre. S. D.. March 2G.-While ten
years ago the name South Dakota was
used as synonym of hard times, and
the exactions of the loan shark were a
popular theme, today the conditions
are vastly different, as shown by the
statements of the national and state
banks on the call for their condition
on the 29th of January last. The peo-
pie of the state are carrying deposits
in these banks to the total of over $3S,-
100000. the exact figures being s3S, S,2S3,-
657. This on a total populati tion of 455,
1855 means that South Dakotans have
in their banks about $S5 for each resi-
dent. white, red and black The state
banks appear to be the most popular.
carrying deposits to the amount of
$23,0SSI75, while the national banks
show S15.2S3,657. In the four months
up to January 80 the deposits of the
state banks increased s2,996,323. and
those of the national banks $l15.16S.
These figures will be increased i'm even
greater fold by the time of the next
call on the banks. through the thou
sands of new settlers who are locating
themselves in all parts of the state,
bringing with them capital to develop
their new homes, and who will begin
at once to take their places in this state
of opportunities as producers OF new
wealth.

the next term of circuit court.
Following the first hearing of the
case. a petition was placed in circula-

GAMBLING oyTFLr BURNS.

Deadwood, S. d.. March 24-For the
first time in the history of the Black
Hills. and probably for the first time in
the history of the state, some gambling
paraphernalia In the hands of the au-
thorities was destroyed as required by
law The outfit, which was taken pos
session of the 26th of last October when
the Palm saloon ut Lead was raided.
consisted of a complete roulette lay out,
consisting of table, wheel. stand and
chips Its value was placed at about
$3.50. The table was broken up into
pieces. the stand and wheel were dis
nembered and the refuse was all placed
n large pile in the Jail yard and set
ire to. Tie law of this state makes 1t
compulsory Tor the authorities to de-
stroy all such material that comes into
heir hands when a conviction has been
secured, but this is probably the first
time that this section of the law has
been put into actual operation.

CHARGED With PERJuRY.

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 23.-The
United States authorities in this city
have arrested Edward Harvey, a farm
er living near Rowena, on the charge
of perjury. Harvey was a pioneer res
ident of this part of the state. having
resided in Minnehaha county for q
period of about thirty years. Harvey
last month filed petition in voluntary
bankruptcy in the United States court

that he omitted from his schedule Of
assets and liabilities the sum of $43
in cash which he is alleged to have had
in his possession at the time of execut-
ing the bankruptcy papers on February
%. The complaint against him further
alleges that he omitted to schedule as

sented the earnings during 1905 Of 9

TO CHANGE BRIDGE SITE.
Milwaukee Decides to Gross Missou
River North of Evarts Near
County Line.

Aberdeen, S. d., March 26.-Accord-
ing to reports from an authoritative
source, although the announcement has
not been publicly made, the Milwaukee
bridge across the Missouri river on the
Pacific coast extension of that road will
not be at Evarts. but north of the
Junction of the Grand and Missouri
rivers, near the county line between
Walworth and Campbell counties, and
number of miles north of Evarts.
Contractor Mcintosh, with number
of subcontractors, who are now going
over the route between Glenham on
the lire between Aberdeen and Evarts
and considerably northeast of Evarts
to the site for the bridge and it is una
derstood line will be run from Glen
ham northwest to the junction of the
two streams. After crossing the river
the route is in doubt, but the opinion
prevails that the line will keep pretty
close to the boundary between North
and South Dakota, entering Montana
near the northwestern corner of South
Dakota. This will place the new line
IN position to compete for the cattle
trade of the "Cannonball" country in
North Dakota
