Revolver. Robbed the Poultry
House of the Enterprise

one OF the nerviest pieces of thiev-
cry pcrpctrated in the city in a long
time occurred Saturday night.
About ten O'Clock Saturday night
Mr. Wright, the proprietor of the En-
terprise grocery and meat market
preparing to close up the store for the
night. He went out to the poultry
yard in the rear of the store in the
lower Currie block to see if the gate
was locked and the poultry house
ooor was fastened AS he entered
the yard he saw that a man was NOV
ing around inside the house. the tur-
keys, twenty two in number Were
Keeping up a storm of cackling. The
man on the fence already had sever
al turkeys in his hands. he was TAX
ing care of the big towels as his pals
handed them out.
Mr.. Wright had n revolver in his
hand and quickly covered the two
men and informed them that If they
moved he would shoot. Evidently the
two thieves believed that he was
bluninE for they quickly jumped over
the fence carrying nine big turkeys
with them.
Mr. Wright states that he simply
could not make up his mind to shoot
a man down for stealing turkeys and
while n" was Undecided the thieves
cot over the fence and started on n
run across lots. Mr.. Wright ran around
the corner of the yard and started in
pursuit but the two men had gotten
good start and Mr. Wright lost sight
of them in the rear of the Mckenzie
plumbing shops. The officers were
quickly summoned ana a search was
made at once but the men We're not
apprehended. However the officers
believe they know the identity of the
thieves and arrests may be made to-
day. Although il was moonlight Mr..
Wright was not able to get a good
look at the faces OF the men, Each
man wore a derby hat
There were % turkeys in the house

SCHOOL LANDS OFF MARKET
Move to Substitute Longtime Lease
Instead of Sale of
Lands.

PIERRE. S. D., Nov. i5.-(special. lone
Question which will trouble the next legis-
Iaturc will be that of the state school lands'
There will be strong demand from several
quarters tor the withdrawal Of the school
lands from sale and placing them all under
lease With the present plan there VIII
soon pile up an Immense sum of money
which will have to be kept invested 10 help
the schools of the state in any way, ana
the larger the sum grows the greater the
danger OF loss from bad investments, II
IS claimed on the one side that to STOP
the sale of lands and place them under
lease would bring as great revenue to
tho state as would the interest from sale
money, and the danger Of large sum
lying uninvested would be obvlatfd, There
is no question as to the logic of this situa-
ton, but number of the counties in the
northern part of the state contain large
bodies of land which taken as in
demnity for school lands lost in other parts
of the state, and they VII: oppose any ac-
tion preventing sales OF these lands. The
support will probably come from the older
counties. IN which all or most of the land
has been disposed Of, and is on the tax
rolls The opposition will come from tn"
counties which contain the large bodies Of
land, which will never bring them any
revenue so long as the title remains in the
state
Under present provisions 20 lease can be
made in this state for a longer period than
five years, and then only for grazing lands.
To change this would require the consent
of congress as that provision is a part Of
the enabling act. In Nebraska leases are
made for twenty years, subject to recap
praisal every I'VE years, the lease holder
being given the preference right TO the
land within the twenty year period, at the
highest price offered on re-appraisal He is
/ allowed TO use the land for farming, as
/ well as for hay and grazing. Such pro-
! vision might be secured I'm this state. by
! applying It only to counties in which a
| certain percentage of the lands have been
sold, and bringing the different counties
under it's application when they are down
| to the specified amount. Any ether plan
would certainly be fought by the counties
with the large bodies of lands.
