of it-for the United States to take
control Of Cuba for one Or two or
possibly four years. The right kind
OF government here cannot survive
now without such control. : There
must be a reconstruction period after
the civil war. e. Yielding to the rebels
now cannot bring contentment and re-
liability and would only antagonize all
the better elements, which, as it is
well known, side with the Moderates.

How She Is Holding Down a Claim
Near Miller


Miller, S. D.. March 1.-THE experience

many a man, but the young lady Is maxi

filed on the relnquished claim some four
years ago and during the first year a,
man contested it. but she won out at the
land office. She has worked since then,
to earn money to keep up the place, in the
different towns, going back frequently to
expend her earnings in required improve
ments, having a little house that answers
for her home, besides q well and fencing,
She had good deal OF hay made on the
land in the summer and rented a part OF
the land for pasture. Now she is COM
PEELED to defend her right again in the
land office, another man having contested,
the claim. But the lady has not listened,
to the howl Of the wolves in the mtdnirht
hours as she held the claim down these
years nor glanced into the CHASTITY tceme-
terry northeast OF her land or listenad to
the strange tales told by reliable. farmars
OF. the mysterious dancing lights thew had
seen Just west of her home, to now allow
the land to go by default, and without
fear she will again fight for the possession
of her home. She Is now teaching the
school at Cavour. but the storms n the
past have not discouraged her from mai.

OPENS LARGE TRACT.
Much Land Near Rapid City to Be Or
Tered to Settlers.

Washington, D. c., March 2o.-By
an order of June S, 1903, large por-
ton of the public lands near Rapid
City were withdrawn from entry under
the impression that the land might be
needed for irrigation projects. Since
it became evident that the land will not
be required for such purposes Senator
Gamble has been Interesting himself
in the matter. He has just been advised
that the secretary of the interior has
vacated the original order Withdraw
ing the following lands in connection
with the Box Elder project in the vi
cinity Of Rapid City:
All Of township 2, south range 8: all
of townships I, 2 ard 5, north range s:
all Of townships 1, and 8. south ranges

ranges II, l2 and ~ all of townships
and 3, npcth ranga IA.
This land is not to become subject
to entry, fling or selection under the
public Land laws until ninety days
after notice by publication. The fore
going LAND includes over 100000 acres,
but only part of this will be available

WILL. KEEP UP FIGHT.
Decision in the Packers Case Was Bad
Blow to Government-Prosec
tons Will Continue,

Washington, March 24.-Presfdent
Roosevelt held an extended conference
yesterday with Attorney General
Moody, Secretary Taft and James r.
Garfield concerning the adverse decis-
Ion rendered in Chicago in the beef
packers case.
NO details of the conference are OBJ
tainable. but it is certain Moody pro-
poses to look carefully into the law
bearing upon the matter with the view
of ascertaining whether an appeal from
the decision OF Judge Humphrey by the
government Will lie.
The decision relieving the individual
officials of the packers corporations
from prosecution is a serious obstacle
to the government. The PROSECUTIONS
of the corporations will continue, of
course, but it was the desire of the gov
eminent to place the responsibility for
the violation of the law upon the Off
Gals of the corporations where they
were found to be guilty of such VIOLA
ton. 1n whatever efforts may be made
by the attorney general and other Off
Gals of the department of justice to
secure an appeal from the decision OF
Judge Humphrey this point will be kept
to the front.
1t is probable no determination in
the matter will be reached hastily, as
it will be considered with the greatest
ceie. II coulu HoL Ue ueclQeQ at the
conference yesterday whether an appeal
from the decision would hold, but that
question will be gone over very care
fully, and if, in the opinion of the law
officers of the government, a foundation
for appeal can be made it will be taken.
Moody declined to discuss the merits
Of Humphreys decision. 1t was, he
said, Of very great Importance not only
as affecting this particular case. but
as laying down a principle which, if
sustained must have very serious eff
feet upon all future prosecutions by
the government for violations of the
antitrust and interstate commerce
laws. =
1t Is possible the government has
the right of appeal under the existing
law, but in any event a bill is before
congress which provides remedy in
such cases,

LAWRENCE COUNTY IN JOY.
Old Court House Will Give Way Il
More Modern BUILDING,

Deadwood, S. D., March 19.-The
Lawrence county court house, built by
the late Fred II. Evans, formerly a
prominent resident Of Sioux City, is
about to be torn down preparatory to
the erection of a new building. This
old court house has been in use for over
twenty-five years and has been the
scene OF many famous trials.
The past thirty years have been
famous ones in the legal history of this
county. The first court held in Dead
wood was held by Judge G. G. Bennett,
territorial judge. and the first seat Of
justice was a key of nails In the tin
shop in the rear of Star & Bullock's
hardware store. Captain Seth Bullock,
Dakota, was the first sheriff.
1t was before the advent of the law to-
Deadwood that Wild Bill was shot from
the rear while playing cards in the No.
10 saloon; but equally interesting cases
came up afterwards. One peculiar case,
often quoted today by the old time law
yers, was that known as the Callison
case. A man named Couk and q wonl-
an, Mrs. Bonghton, were arrested for
school teacher in the Black Hills, who
was found dead in her bed one August
morning. The peculiar feature Of the
case was that COuk, who was charged
with conspiring with Mrs. Boughton to
commit the murder and who was tried
first, was found guilty, while Mrs.
Broughton, who was charged with the
murder itself, was acquitted. Coul1
served but short term in the peniten-
tiarsy, being pardoned out. He was aft
erWards hung some place down in New
Mexico for murder, and it is said, con-
fessed5 at that time to having killed Mrs
Callison.
The various judges who have presid-
ed in this circuit and in this old court
house were G. @. Bennett, afterwards
delegate to congress; G. C. Moody, aft.
erwards United States senator; W. E.
Church, now a prominent lawyer in
Chicago; Charles Thomas, deceased; A.
j. Plowman and Joseph b. Moore, both
now engaged in the practice OF law in
this county, and w. E. Rice. the incum-
bent.
