or the Chinese press was slow until
after the Boxer rising. Now Picking

ILLEGAL FENCING
WARFARE BEGINS
United States Files Suits in
South Dakota Against
Parties.
A WHOLESALE ROBBERY
;harses Of Appropriation Of Public
Land by Fraudulent Methods Are
Made Against stoekmen in
Western Part Of State.

Sioux Falls, &. D.. Jan. ga war
fare against stockmen and others who
during the past few years are alleged
To- have secured vast tracts OF govern
mcnt land In western South Dakota by
fraudulent means, has been begun by
the United States authorities OF south
Dakota.
The methods employed I'm the al
legged wholesale grabbing of the public
domain are said TO be similar to those
employed by ranchmcn In western Ne
braska. As the opening chapter Ia the
litigation the United States authort-
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'm cases where
fraud II alleged to have been used In
securing the land. one OF the cases Is
entitled the United States VS.. Ella
Henry aud Carl Petan: another Is en-
titled the United States vs.. Emma Nj.
Prefer and Carl Pctan, and the de-
fcndant In another case Is John r,
Henry pctan Is one OF the most
prominent stockmcn In western South
Dakota.
II Is alleged that Pctan has enclosed
an aggregate OF 1000 acres with
fence. The government expects TO
show that he induced Miss Henry and
a Miss Prefer To make hofncstcau en-
tries on tracts OF leo acres each. and
that when they made Anal proof he
paid them In the neighborhood OF $50
each as an inducemcnt for them TO
transfer the homcstcsds 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 on somewhat similar
grounds.
The beginning OF these actions is
due to the fact that the extension OF
the Milwaukee railroad from Chamber
lain 10 the Black Hills In western south
Dakota has caused farm land 10 be-
come much more valuable. There has
been a steady Influx OF new settlers
20 that region since last spring. and as
government land II becoming scarce
the intending homcstcaders have taken
pains TO look up the records and ascer-
tain by what right several stockmen
have fenced In large tracts.
