Accusing a self-respecting Indian OF
q serious crime and then fleeing before
the cast 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
secopd-year law student In the Uni
versity Of South Dakota at Vermillion,
has had his career blighted, he be-
lieves, and has sworn to be even with
those who secured his arrest on the
charge Of seduction. Dudley, a 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, a 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.

Its burden from the ground.
The child was heavy for its age,
however, and the eagle could not much
moro than lift it from the ground.
SEEKING a broom, the mother few to

INCREASE OF PRECIPITATION.
South Dakota Figures Show an kp
probable Growth,

The question as to whether the an
nual precipitation in this part Of tho
Northwest Is increasing, Is one on
which there has been a great deal Of
dispute, and on this a table covering
the period from 1882 to the present
year has been prepared for periods Of
five years.
This table would indicate that there
has been an increase, but whether II
Is one Of meteorological cycles, or .
permanent one Is for future years to
determine. The observations up to
1891 were taken at Fort Sully, and
since that date at Pierre. For the
FIVE years from 1926 the average
was 1869 inches per year. This In
cluded the period OF the heavy SHOWS
Of the early eighties. The next Pc
Rod from 1887-91 showed a slight do.
cline with 1916 inches per year.
Since that time there has been q
steady increase. The period from
1926 showed 1903 inches. That
from 1897 to 1901 being 1865 inches.
The period from 1902-06 showing 1903
inches. The total precipitation for
last year being 20.5s inches, and for
this year to date, with two months
more to go, being 20.46 inches.
These figures show an increase by
f~lve-year periods, which 10 certainly
appreciable.

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

vorce. Dudley declares he was taken
back and that there were none to face
him and the case was dismissed. He
believes he has been the victim OF a
plot, and that certain whites are In It,
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 name of getting even
he will not disclose, but the Sioux are
sure to find a 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 rumor 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 a 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.

Passing the pantry of his boat one
day Capt. Birch of Gloucester over
heard one of the cabin boys INDUCING
in animated versions on the officers
and crew, says the Boston Herald. He
turned a very severe ~countenance on

after when you have anything to say
about any one aboard the boat please
except the captain"
A few days later when the captain
happened to be on deck the same cab
In boy carried past him a dish Of food
prepared for the table and a pet hog
running between the boys legs upset
him, scattering the food.
Picking himself up with a most rue
full countenance the boy commenced
berating the hog. You are the mis-
CRADLES hog | ever SEEM he began,
when, catching a view of the old man
and remembering his Injunction. he
added, except the captain"
The boy has had a secure berth on

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

" TISSCC0.
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 its 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 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-
ton projects by private contract, and
the work is lone 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 a large
tract in the northwestern part of the
state could be brought under irriga-
ton by this policy within a short
time.

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

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 a visit in
Canistota. Illuminating gas Is sup
posed to have caused the death of Mr..
Obert, who was one Of the pioneer res
idents 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 she was driven back by a strong
odor Of gas. After a 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 on, but
mo- lighted, with a 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.
fell asleep and was asphyxiated.
