WHERE WILL HONoLULANS
SPEND THE SUMMER?

The calamity that has befallen San
Francisco has caused many changes in
the plans OF Honolulu people with ref
terence to their summer vacations, and
Amany who have been in the habit of
spending two or three months in the
Coast metropolis during the heated
term are casting about for new places
of retreat. Refugees from San Fran
cisco viii doubtless crowd all adjacent
towns, even down TO Los Angeles, for
many months to come, and hotel and
boarding house rates will be CORE
spondingly high. In such circum
stances Honolulu people are fortunate
in having a splendid mountain resort
close at hand, where a whole month
can be spent, including travelling ex-
penses from Honolulu and return, for
less than the cost of a round trip
steamer ticket to the Coast. In fact,
Messrs. Trent & Co. are offering pur-
chasers of $40 volcano tickets, a whole
weeks extra board at the popular Vol
cano House for only one additional FIVE
dollar gold piece. This is an expensive
kind of advertising, but it will probably
result in keeping the Volcano House
full to the doors all summer.

.AYRES CLEARED At SIOUX FALLS
Government Loses Important Suits Charging Important Land
Frauds

The first of the alleged land fraud
cases to be tried in South Dakota, af
ter having been on trial in the United
States court IL Sioux Falls several
days, came to a sudden end, when, on
motion of the attorneys for the de-
tense, Judge Garland directed a ver-
dict for the defendants in the cases of
Thomas H. Ayers, John L. Newell,
John F. Mcclure and Howard A. Bin
work of Pierre, stockholders and
agents of the Gas Belt Land and Alb
stract company, with headquarters at
Pierre.
1t was shown by the evidence pre-
sented by the prosecution that the de-
PENDANTS procured fifteen widows Of
soldiers from New Ulm and other
points In Minnesota to go to Pierre
and make entry on fifteen different
tracts of government land; that all
their expenses were paid by the
agents company from the time they
left home until they returned, it not
being necessary for the widows even
to pay the land office fees. The tracts
were Immediately leased to cattlemen.

LEASE OR MOTTO LEASE.
Famous Issue Is Raised Again on the
STANDING Rock.


A general council of all the Indians
on the Standing Rock reservation has
been ordered by Commissioner Leupp,
to be held at the agency. At this coun'
Gil the Indians will decide whether
they will release the Lennon land for
another five years or not. The lease,
which is all under fence, contains
about 100000 acres.
The Indians are receiving at present
3 cents an acre, and not more than
one animal is allowed to forty acres.
At the time of the former leasing the
matter was written up in Eastern pa
pers and magazines by George Ken
nan and others, and it was asserted
the Indians were not fairly treated,
President Roosevelt finally sent out
his personal representative, DR.. Grin.
nell of New York, and Inspector Nc.
Laughlin, with the result that the
tract was leased.
The new extension Of the Milwaukee
runs through forty miles of the lease.
This 900, ,000-acre pasture is believed to
be the largest in the United States un-
der fence, being fifty miles long by
forty miles wide.
Special Agent Downs of the Indian
department will be present, and every
Indian over eighteen on the reserva-
tion can vote on the proposition.

INDIAN ALLEGES VERY DEEP PLOT
Says Whites Conspred to Prevent Him Finishing His Law
Course.

Accusing self-respecting Indian of
a serious crime and then fleeing before
the case comes to a hearing, is some
thing which has made a number OF
residents of Charles Mix county, this
state some said to be prominent
very nervous.
David Dudley, a full-blood Sioux, a
second-year law student in the Uni
versity of South Dakota at Vermillion,
has had his career blighted, be be-
lieves, and has sworn to be even with
charge of seduction. Dudley, popular
and apt law student, has returned
from his home, to which he was taken
for trial. packed up his books and left
the university. Hundreds Of his
friends among the faculty and
students, tried to prevail upon him to
remain and finish his course. The In
dian stolidly refused
Some time ago a deputy sheriff came
to Vermillion and arrested Dudley, the
complaining witness being Mrs. Jose
phine Weston, rich squaw In the
Yankton reservation in Charles Mix
county. She is one Of the handsomest
and most attractive women on the res
ervation aside from her property hold
ings, and 1t is said Dudley was an ad
mirer of hers before she married Wes
ton, from whom she soon got di.

vorce. Dudley declares he was taken
back ard that there were none to face
him and the case was dismissed. He
believes he has been the victim of
plot, and that certain whites are in 1t.
He was fitting himself to take advan-
tage of the immense amount Of Indian
litigation on his reservation, now be-
ing handled by white attorneys, the
reds having none from their own num-
Der. Dudley says the scheme has
been to disgrace him and destroy his
chances of success.
But he means to find out who is at
the bottom of the plot and to be
avenged. The manner of getting even
he will not disclose, but the Sioux are
sure to find way, hence the uneasi-
ness Of those who had the accusation
brought against him.
Maybe, some time" Is the answer
given by the Indian, when asked ii he
doesn't intend to finish his law course.
There is a ruIror on the reservation
that the woman whose name has been
used in connection with his, herself
had the proceedings started in order
to secure Dudley for husband, the
fact that she has been in love with
him for some time being generally
known. When she saw the young
mans anger when the officer brought
him back, it is said she was afraid to
continue her desperate plan.

SIOUX FALLS MAN ASPHYXlATED
Mrs. Obert Found Her Husband Dead
When She Returned From Visit

Mrs. Obert Found Her Husband Dead
When She Returned From Visit.
To find her husband dead In a chair
was the painful experience of Mrs.
Wendell Obert upon returning to her
home in Sioux Falls from visit in
Canistota. Illuminating gas is sup
posed to have caused the death of Mr.
Obert, who was one of the pioneer .~es-
ldents of Sioux Falls and was well
known through the state.
When Mrs. Obert left last week for
her visit Mr.. Obert was in the country,
and it has not yet been established
just when he returned. When Mrs.
Obert opened the front door of the
house size was driven back by strong
odor Of gas After moment she and
her sister-in-law, Mrs. McKinnon, who
returned from Canistota with her, en-
tered The house and found Mr.. Obert
sitting In a rocking chair stiff and cold
in death.
He was fully dressed, including his
hat. One Of the burners of the gas
stove was found fully turned u. but
not lighted, with newspaper over the
burner. In his right hand the dead
man grasped a newspaper. One theory
is that Mr.. Obert accidentally turned
on the gas burner by carelessly brush
Ing against it, and that while reading.
Tell asleep and was asphyxiated.

RULING FAvoRs COUNTY CAUCUS
Decislon on Commissioners Nomina-
ton Is Given.

A written opinion has been handed
down in the supreme court in the
case of the State ex rel. M. e. Long,
and E. A. Wearne, chairman of the
Republican party Of Day county, VS..
Manson ReXfOrd, county auditor OF
Day county. The case was brought to
settle the dispute between county
convention nominees and district NOM
inees for the place of county commits
sioner, and incidentally to get rul-
ing on the meaning of the caucus law
Of the last session, in regard to nom
nations for this Office.
In the contention between the diff
ferent nominees, the court says:
"The Office of county commissioner
In this state exists by reason of legis-
lation authorized by the constitution,
which declares the legislature shall
provide by general law for such coun-
ty, township and district officers as
may be deemed necessary An exam
tnation Of such legislation will dis
close that the county government Is
entrusted to a body designated as a
board of county commissioners that
the numerous powers and duties or
such commissioners almost exclusive
ly relate to county affairs; and that
they are elected by all the voters or
the county, the same as other county
officers Rev. Pol. Code, Sec. SO9-S65.
There is therefore no escape from the

earding party nominations for this Of
flee was changed by the act OF l9Oo;
a conclusion demanded by the IAN
uage of the act itself, and COL 'lstent
uith sound public policy, because 1t Is
strictly in accord with the spirit OF
popular elections, that where an otti-
! Ger is to be elected by all the voters
Of any given territory, the nomination
of a candidate to represent any polit-
tcal organization should be paruclpa-
ted in by all the members of such or
ganization in such territory. State VS..
Rotwitt, Is Mont 502. So it clearly
was competent for this county conven'
ton to nominate county commission
ers. 1t alone could make Republican
narty nominations. And it is imma-
terial whether different method mad
been followed for years in Day county,
as all party customs must necessarily
Weld to the regulations established by
law. For these reasons, the REALTORS
In this proceeding were given the re-
lief prayed, and the application on pe-
half of the candidates nominated Dv
the district convention was dis
missed"
It is rumored that on the strength
of this decision a number OF county
commissioner cases will be rushed 10
the supreme court before election, as
there was a question as to just what
the caucus law intended in regard TO
such ofTicers, and the nominations
were made in different manners III
different counties. If any contests
come. they will be from counties
which did not nominate in the county
convention

SKULL OF AN AUROCHS.
Bones of Progenitor of the Buffalo
Found Beneath Bed Of Missouri.

Bones of Progenitor of the Buffalo
Found Beneath Bed Of Missouri.
At depth OF more than twenty
feet, the workers in caisson No. l, on
the new bridge at Pierre, found a num-
Der of bones and an immense skull OF
a buffalo The skull was perfect, but
the outside horn had disappeared, leav-
ing it to measure thirty-four inches
from stub to stub Of the inside horn
formation. The find was in a bed OF
gravel and boulders, and the bones
must have lain there for years, as the
river bank has long extended far out
beyond where the sinking is going on.
In years gone by, the channel of the
stream was probably at that point, and
the bones wers swep- to the bottom
with the gravel and stones, remaining
there to be covered by the accretion
with a change In the channel The
skull is a peculiar one, showing a
dome between the horns, while the av.
erage buffalo skull is almost straight.
The specimen has been placed on ex-
hitition where 1t is attracting great
deal of attention. 1t Is claimed by
some that on account Of its size and
shape it is a skull Of an aurOchs, a
larger animal, and prOgenitor of the
buffalo, instead of the buffalo itself, in
which case 1t has been buried in the
sands Of the Missouri for many hun
dreds Of years.

in favor Of the defendants, Judge Car
land held in substance that at the time
the alleged offense was committed, In
July, 1903, rulings of the land depart
ment and federal laws authorized SOL
oiers widows to make entry OF public
land without the necessity of making
settlement upon, and also authorized
them to lease the land even without
ever seeing it, as was the case In this
instance.
The law, however,, was changed In
December, 1908, but too late to benefit
the prosecution in the case OF Ayers
and the other three men.
At the April term of the United
States court in Sioux Falls an indict-
ment was returned against defend
ants, charging them with engaging In
a conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment out of tracts of land between the
Missouri river and the Black Hills, in
Western South Dakota. The indict-
ment contained twenty-three counts
and was one of the most voluminous
documents of the kind ever returned
by a federal grand jury in South Da-
kota.

FOR STATE IRRIGATION,
Move Being Made to Prepare Bill for
Next Legislature to Allow the State
to Proceed.

TO proceed.
A move is being made to prepare a
bill for introduction in the next legis-
lative session to allow the state to
take advantage of the Cary act for
putting in irrigation projects. This
act is being taken advantage of by the
states of Montana and Idaho, and
large areas are being brought under
irrigation through it's provisions. The
act in effect donates not to exceed one
million acres of public lands to the
state for the purpose of irrigation,
and these lands are placed under con-
troll of a state board, which provides
the manner Of filing on such lands,
and the payment price. In the states
which are taking advantage Of the
act, 5 cents an acre is added to cover
the expense which the state incurs in
the work. The state assumes no liza
bility to the contractor for his work,
he looking to the settlers on the land
for his pay, in annual installments.
This act allows the letting of irriga-
tion projects by private contract, and
the work is done much more rapidly
than in government projects, which
are always slow in starting, and do
not move rapidly after once under
way. 1t is estimated that q large
tract in the northwestern part of the
state could be brought under irriga-
ton by this policy within a short
time

The wheels of justice turned rapidly
at Flandreau Thursday for the five
suspects arrested in Canton in connec-
ton with the robbery Of r. L. Browns
hardware store in Flandeau during the
livery barn fire in which three chill
dren and eighteen horses were Gre
mated.
They were lodged in the county Jail
awaiting a hearing, and when taken
before Justice Carter r. j. Clancy and
Enoch McCarty pleaded guilty to the
charge Of burglary and were bound
over to the circuit court. They were
taken Immediately before Judge Jones,
who sentenced them for three years,
and Sheriff Davis took them to Sioux
Falls. The other three proved to be
innocent harvest hands and were
turned loose.
1t is generally supposed that the two
men gave fictitious names and pleaded
guilty to the charge to escape punish
ment for a graver offense. When ar
|
did not come from the Brown hard
ware store, also a full kit of burglar
tools. nitroglycerin, etc. They were
desperate characters, for only the
quickness Of the marshal at Canton
with his shooting iron saved him from
receiving the contents OF an automatic
Colts revolver. This revolver was
stolen by them from the hardware
store and was the property Of Sheriff
Davis, he having left 1t with Mr..
Brown recently because he had no am
munition for it.
1t is generally thought that the fre
and burglary were the work of the
same men, but there were no grounds
to charge arson, while burglary was
met with plea of guilty.

EAGLE ATTACKS CHILD.
Bird Is Beaten OF by Baby's Mother
Armed With Broom

The eighteen-months-ol daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. S. G. Rhodes, who live
on a large farm near Chamberlain,
was playing about in the dooryard
while her mother was attending to her
household duties, when, suddenly,
hearing the little one scream, the
mother ran to the door to find large
bald eagle with it's talons fixed in the
child's dress and endeavoring to lift
its burden from the ground.
The child was heavy for its age,
however, and the eagle could not much
more than lift 1t from the ground.
Selling broom, the mother flew to
the rescue Of her offspring and at
tackled the eagle fiercely. causing it to
drop the child.
The bird fought back with vigor but
finally was beaten into submission and
took flight. The child was very badly
scratched.

TO FEEL NEED OF MORE ROOM.
oolons Will Realize Necessity Of New
Capitol.


Capitol.
When the legislative session meets
In January, the members can tender
their thanks to the last legislative
session for tying up the capitol COM
mission with so many hobbling strings
that they considered it practically i'm
possible to make any progress; then
add their thanks to Sioux Falls for
stepping in and stopping progress
when the legislative hobbies have
been cut. All this after they begin to
consider what they are going to do
for committee rooms during the ses-
sion.
The business of the state has grown
to such an extent the past two years,
with the addition of the vital statisti-
cal department, the state engineer
department, and the growing needs Of
the old departments, that not even
room is left in the old building for the
two engrossing committees, let alone
any others. The space left for legisla.
tive rooms is contained in the two as
sembly rooms of the two bodies, and
that only because portions Of them
which are in daily use for the needs OF
the present business will be vacated
for that purpose If the last legisla.
ture had attempted to help instead OF
hamper the commission, and it had
been allowed to proceed after 1t had
started, the supreme court and the
statistical departments would have
been out of the old building before
the coming session, and there would
have been room in the old building for
another year. 1t is now up to the COM
ing session to care for their commit
tees.
The section of the state west OF til
Missouri at every session has been i
evidence in the way OF legislation
which was claimed to be necessity
of their peculiar conditions in that
section The homestead voters of
Stanley and Lyman countieG now out
number the exclusive stockmen, and
the Republican legislative candidates
from those counties are meeting this
change by pledging themselves that
if elected they will use their best ef-
forts to secure a repeal of the free
range law, and compel owners OF cat
tie to be responsible for their trespass
damage on the west side of the river,
as they are on the east side of the
stream
The liquor question is another which
will be rehasned at the coming ses-
sion, the liquor dealers coming for
ward to ask restrictions. One of which
they desire is something in the shape
of the Illinois 1..w, limiting the num-
ber of saloons in a place on the basis
of population If they succeed in this
move, they will place a greater value
upon a liquor license than exists where
there is no limit except the ability OF
the applicant to dig up the required
license fee. Thrifty town councils,
which have been licensing all who
asked for the revenue to be thus Sc
cured, may take it upon themselves to
figure on a new basis to MAKE the few
which can be chosen pay enough into
their treasures to make up for the
possible loss of the licenses which
might have been granted if the mum
Der was unlimited.

and OPTIONS Another

Adjt Gen. Englesby has about com

purchased property overlooking the
entire camp
