4 WHOLESALE ROBBERY
harges of Appropriation of Public
Land by Fraudulent Methods Are
Made Against ]Stockmen in
Western Part of State.

Sioux Fails, 5. D., Jan. pa war
fare against stuulIuGn and others who
during The past lew years are alleged
TO have secured vast tracts Of govern
meut land in western South Dakota by
fraudulent means, has been begun by
The United States authorities of South
Dakota.
The methods employed in the al
legged wholesale grabbing Of the public
domain are said to be similar TO those
employed by rdnchmen in western Ne
braska. AS the opening chapter in the
litigation the United States authOri-
ties in this city have instituted civil
actions against several persons with
the Object OF having the federal courts
cancel the patents that were issued
by the government i'll cases where
fraud is alleged to haye been used III
securing the land. one of the cases Is
entitled the United States vs.. ELLA
Henry and Carl Petan; another is en-
titled the United States VS.. Emma NJ.
Prefer and Carl Pctan, and the de-
PENDANT in another case is John +.
Henry. Petan is one of the most
prominent stockmcn in western South
Dakota.
It is alleged that Petan las enclosed
an aggregate of 1900 acres with q
fence. The government expects to
show that he induced n Miss Henry and
Il Miss Prefer to make homestead en-
tries on tracts of 100 acres each, and
tina 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 IN somewhat similar
grounds.
The beginning of these actions is
due to the fact that the extension of
the Milwaukee railroad from Chamber
lain to the Black Hills in western South
Dakota has caused farm land to be-
come much more valuable. There has
been a steady influx of new settlers
to that region since last spring, and as
government land is becoming scarce
the intending homesteaders have taken
pains TO look up the records and ascer-
tain by what right several stockrnen
have fenced in large tracts.

LID ON AT YANKToM.
Officials There Want Liquor Laws
S~trinuentIY Enforced.

SIi'''SSi4S'J 80
Yankton, S. D., Jan. 23.-The lid" is to
go on in Yankton and Yankton saioonmen
are to be made 10 be good.
The edict has been issued by States At
torney Wynan 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, IL 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
it will be, even if they ave to sleep on it,
IL will effect a great change in the saloon
business of Yankton county, as heretofors
the saloon men have considered themselves
a law unto themselves and each one has
conducted his place just about as it suited
him. Now the numerous n curtains

Newspapers of China.

Archibald r. ~ColQuhOUn contribute
to the January number of the North
American Review an interesting and in
forming article on The Chinese Press
of Today" Picking is the home of the
oldest newspaper in the world, the
Picking Gazette; and, long before the
modern newspaper made its appearance
in China, there was an extensive use
Of placards broad sheets. which,
though they often contained criticisms
of the government, were not censored,
and indeed there are no press laws in
existence in the Middle Kingdom today.
The first modern newspaper was pub
liShed in China in 1870, but the growth
Of the Chinese press was slow until
after the Boxer rising. Now Peking
has three daily papers and two fort
nightly Ones; Tientsin has three dailies;
Shanghai has sixteen daily papers;
Foochow, Eoochow and Canton be-
tween them have some six or seven
dailies, While there are five at Hong
Kong and one at Kiaochow. Besides,
several papers are now published in the
interior. In all these, there are, as in
American and English papers, leaders
and leaderettes, news items, kilograms,
scraps of general information and ad-
vertisements. In describing the Chi
nese paper Mr.. ColQuhOun says:
along the top, where we are &C
customed to see the title. runs the pious
eXhortatiOn to respect the written
word and the custom OF reverently COL
lecting and burning all printed matter
still survives, although it is neglected in
some of the treaty ports. Special cor
reSpondence is conveyed from the ftr-
eign press and not always we'll tran
slated. which leads to many ludicrous
mistakes. The acknowledgement is
made to a Western Friend and the
leading papers have 9 foreigner TO ad-
more advanced statesmen have men to
translate direct to them, as had Ii
Hung Chang. Advertisements in the
more popular papers are as much in
evidence as in u own papers, and
war news is given prominence. This is
n modern development. for at the time
OF the Chino-Japanese war the defeats
of China were never ~chronicled, but
imaginary victories We're dithyram-
bically described, and the same hap
pencd in some parts of China at the
the articles, the articles in Chinese pa
pers and magazines are not signed,
but the niceties of style are such that
the authors are soon recognized locally;
whereas, in Japan, the leading writers
enjoy quite q national reputation. This
does not imply that the Japanese press
man is we'll paid, any more than his
Chinese brother. for the maximum sal
airy of the former rarely exceeds 600 q
year, and is oftener between $40 and
Csc. The Chinese is even more poorly
paid, which is some excuse for his sys-
tenn Of ~blacknlail; but, in fact, the
whole theory of wages in China rests
upon the universal custom of illegiti,
mate perQuiSites."

Deadwood, S. D. Jan. 20.-Little An

front of the upper ear.
He has made, apparently, q perfect
suffering no alarming Symp-
toms of any bad results. He mad a few
bad days shortly after the accident,
owing to the pressure Of blood on the

was relieved by a slight operation, aft
er which he improved steadily. 1t is
thought that the bullet had almost
spent its force when it passed through

it then dropped down into the lower
part Of the brain into the back of the

The boy is bright active, has suf-
fered no loss of memory, and plays

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
Young Man Gets Into Serious Trouble
at Elk Point.

Elk Point, S. D., Jan. 20.-A young
man giving his name as w. Fl. Ramey
was arrested here by Sheriff E. f..
Sherman charged with forgery. He
made out a check for $40 on the First
Nationwide bank, payable to himself
and forged the name of his sister, Mary
E. Kent, of Burbank, S. D., who has
an account at the said bank. He went
to the feed store of abe Strobel where
his sister is accustomed to buying flour
and ordered two sacks of flour, giving
h check in payment and receiving the
balance in money. Mr.. Strobel went
to the bank to cash the check some
time later, and was informed by the
cashier that the same was a forgery.
In the meantime he had made out an
other check for SIS and went to the Pal
ace meat market. ordered some meat
and presented the check in payment,
but Mr.. Weaver, the proprietor, refused
to cash the same. Mr.. StrobeI imme-
diately notified Sheriff E. e. Sherman
of the forgery and the young forger
was soon found II locked up in the
county Jail. He says that he had some
trouble with his sister and that he
forged the checks to get revenge.

SHIRT AcToRY PAYS.
Industry at South Daieots's Prison Re

Yankton, s. D., Jan. 20,-Through
Hon. w. NJ. Powers OF this city it is
learned that the state board of chart

member, is very We'll pleased with the
state shirt factory started at the Sioux

Powers said it was il~nmeasurably bet
ter than setting the prisoners to cut
ting stone for Which there Was no de-
mand when it was cut.
The factory now gives steady en-
ployment to 120 prisoners, whereas IN
der the old arrangements very few
could be given employment. The eX-
penses of the factory per month, for su-
perintendent, material. etc, is only a
few hundred dollars, While the revenue
is $1,000, netting the tate, as last
months business showed, a clear profit
of $940. The prisoners do well at the
work, and as the institution now has
220 prisoners. all men but one, there is
plenty of help to keep the plant going.
The superintendent takes the output
off the state boards hands as soon as
made n he ships it west and east to
where he sees fit, always to a ready
market.
