.2 ROAD CONTRACTS JOHN ID. ROQUEMORE WILL GlAV-
 EL HIGHW Montgomery County Board Of Revenue Discusses Revision of the Road Law and Transacts Other
 Business.

| Contracts for graveling parts of the | Selma and the Reese Ferry roads were
 awarded to John D. Roquemore yes-
 terday at a full meeting Of the Goard
 of Revenue oG Montgomery
 The awards were made pursuant to
 the opening of sealed proposals by President Houghton in open session.
 The contract will provide for the graveling of one and -Lree-quarter
 miles on the Selma road and one mile on the Reese Ferry road. According
 to the bids submitted by MT. Roque more, the county engineer, on request of the Board, estimated that the cost
 of the improvement on the Selma road will approximate S1,S37 and on tue Reese Ferry road, $l,j00.
 It was announced that there were
 three bidders on the Reese Ferry road
 job, and five bidders on the Selma road
 work. While the Board d!d not give
 out the prices proposed by the respec-
 tive bidders, 1t was given out that. n addition to the Successful bidder. there were four other bidders who ranked, in the order named. IS follows: Hodg- son and Hannon Robert WDolrolk. w C. Henderson and Mitchell Brothers.
 The contract papers for the gravel. ling wAl be drawn up immediately aEd work will be started by Ar. Roque- more.
 A matter which has been pending some time, was disposed of yesterday by the Board when J M. Sullivan and Company, contractors. were released from contract for grayeling five miles of the Woodley road. Sullivan and Company have played in ill lucK and the Board, though it could have held the firm to it's contract. recogniZ- ed that Sullivan and Company hal been materially handicapped and. therefore, on recommendation of the county engineer, adopted q resolution for a release which was satisfactory to all parties concerned.
 When the contracting firm e was awarded the contract four months ago. it was the belief of Sullivan and Con- pany that the firm would encounter no difhculty in the transportation of gravel However since then. there has been a great scarcity Of ears among railroads and, with the exception of about two weeks. the firm has been unable to accomplish lythlng.

 In these proceedings 1t developed | that the cars of the traction engine | purchased by the county about four | years ago, are partially worn out. The 1 representative of tho contracting firm, | who has had charge of the engine and | cars in this work, said that the engine |

 1 The revision of the law for Mont. l gomery county, regulating 'he work | ing of public roads by hands a speci- l fled number of days during .he year
 was fully discussed by the Board. The | members complained of she disadvan- tages of the present law and 1t was l generally agreed that revision was needed. It was suggested that in stead of requiring labor on the roads. a tax. on a per capita basis, be lev fed, similar to methods in vogue ln other counties of the State.
 Dr. Duncan, while he advocated re-
 vision, and proposed several sugges tions thought by the Board to have merit, did not believe in the per capi- ta basis as he did not think such tax should fall as heavily on a small wag" earner as it does on a large and own er The county attorney was directed to look into the question and ascer- tain what could be done,
 The following resolution. offered by MT Brown, was unanimously adopted:
 "Whereas. on the I4th day of May 1906. the Board of Revenue passed an order offering a reward If $50 for tho detection and conviction of any per son violating the law as to reckless and promiscuous shooting along and across the public roads of the county.
 And whereas. 1t has come to the Knowledge of the Board of Revenue that numbers of frivolous aEd unim- portant cases have been brought bC fore the courts. convictions secured and and nominal fines imposed. there. fore be 1t
 Resolved, That the reward hereto, fore offered by the Board of Revenus for the purposes designated, be and the same Is hereby reduced to the sum of $1O for each such detection and con vlction, the proceedings in such cases to be conducted in accordance with tho amendment to the original order adop- ted by the Board on the 12th day of 1906."
 Counsel for William Taylor peti- tioned the Board for $50 reward in each of the cases in which sherman Sharp. William sharp and Green Me- Kenzie, negroes. were recently con vlcted in the City Court for shooting across the public road. The rewards will be paid.
 The Merritt Bradley controversy, over a proposed short road connecting the Philadelphia road with the Rocky Mount read. was brought before the Board again by s. H. Merritt, who is urging the road Mir. Merritt submit ted a strong plea for action, but the Board could not see how anything could be done as yet. in view of the ob- jections of MT. Bradley. 1t was eX- plained to Mir. Merritt that Mir. Bradley had formerly told the Board he was willing to leave the matter to three | persons. and. on motion l of Dr. Duncan.

lUFkIN WAS FLOODED.
Terrific Hail Storm Followed by a
Tremendous Rainfall.

Iufkin, Tex. March 27.-This sec
ton ~ Texas was visited this after
49, tine most severe hail and rain
storm ever known to have occurred.
Beginning at 4 o'clock and lasting
for nearly an hour the hail fell as
thick as heavy rain. 1t was as large
as hens egg and the strong accom-
panying wind caused it to strike with
such force as to shatter innumerable
skylights and windows and caused
many ruanways. The Lufkin Iron
Foundry reports several hundred dol
lars damage. An unusually heavy
rain is still falling and the streets are
flooded. 1t is impossible at present
to ascertain the exact extent of the
storm or the amount Of damage
done, but is is a certainty that all
crops in this immediate vicinity are
very badly damaged if NOT entirely
destroyed.

MALTA Ar WORK
In MINNEAPOLIS
SIX ITALIANS WERE MURDERED
IN THAT CITY LAST NIGHT BY
THE BLACK HAND.

Special to the Herald.
Minneapolis, Mimi, March 2S.-Six
Italians were murdered at about mid
night last night in a shack on Tenth
street. Eight men were seen to run
from the building following a dis
turbance which attracted the police.
The police decided the men had been
fighting among themselves and
made no further investigation. To
day when the shack was entered four
men were found in a room on the
floor literally hacked to pieces with
knives. In the basement two other
bodies were found horribly mutilated
Near the bodies the police found
three long knives. The. Malta or
Black Hand Society is suspected.
Nine men rented the shack about
two months ago. Yesterday after
noon all went away and returned to-
ward evening with three others. Evil
IDENTIFY they had found the victims for
whom they had been preparing. The
police believe the victims put up
stiff fight and killed three of the
gang and were themselves killed,
and afterward mutilated.
The victims who were cut and
slashed died more from loss of blood
than from deep wounds. All of the
dead men had some money in their
pockets, which had not been touched.
A tin box with five hundred in
Italian gold and American currency
and a check in favor of Nicoli Dem
try for SAB was found by the police.
Also three grips we're found, one of
them containing the vestments of a
priest of the Greek Catholic church,
together with French, Italian, Greek
and Turkish transports and other ar
ticles belonging to three men named
Demtry, Caponi and Yesymi.

GET COURTS AFTER CHAIRMAN.
Republicans Want Delegates to Con-
ventions Chosen Same Day.

The political situation at Pierre Is
becoming tangled on account of the
failure Of Chairman De Land of the
county committee to provide for the
selection of delegates to the district
legislative convention on the same
late as for the selection of delegates
to the state convention. The leSiSla-
tive convention meets on May 30, and
on account Of this a number of Repub-
licans of this city have made a de.
mand upon the chairman of the COM
mittee that he at once provide for the
selection of the legislative delegates
on the same date as for the state dele
gates. He thus far has declined TO
announce his decision, and unless
early action is taken the courts will
be called upon to act.

school to put up the new buildings,
which are much needed. Six thousand
dollars will build an adequate hospital.
The other buildigns will include an
Industrial building, a barn, both OF
brick, and a water-power house.
The school can accommodate $50 pu-
pills, but in reality 253 have been en-
rolled this year. The boys and girls
are taken at any age, between six and
eighteen years, and must enroll for
three years, at the end of which time
they can %re-enroll. This year there
are about seventy-five pupils whose
time is out. About one-third of these
will %re-enroll in this school; another
one-third will enroll in some other
government school, and the remaining
third probably will feel that their edu
cation is completed.
Given Industrial Training.
These pupils, in distinction from
white children, work half the day and
study half the day. The boys are
divided into two sections, as are also
the girls. In the morning m section
of the boys marches to the schoolroom
while the other goes to the fields or
the shops. 1t is the object of the
school to train all their students so
that they will not only know how to
live, but also so that they will have
the means Of earning a livelihood. AS
all Indians are land owners, great
stress is placed upon agricultural
training for the boys. They are taught
practical farming in all it's details and
are also made familiar with the care
and use of all kinds Of stock. They
learn blacksmithing, carpentering, and
In this school the boys do all the bak-
Ing, including bread, cake and pastry
of all kinds. Every month they are
changed from one department Of labor
ITO another, so that they have the OPP
%portunity of receiving instruction In
chem all. In the afternoon the boys
who were in the fields and shops go
to school, and their place is taken by
the other division. In the schoolroom
especial stress is laid upon the Eng
fish language and upon geography.
elementary arithmetic, with it's prac-
tical application, music and drawing.
In the latter two subjects the Indian
children are especially proficient.
The method Of dealing with the
girls is similar except for the fact
that when not in the schoolroom they

Compared With F%iIipinos.
Prof. Mathews, who recently has &C.
cepted a position in this school, makes
some interesting comparisons between
the Indians and the Filipino children
whom he has been instructing for the
last three years. He says that the
most apparent difference is the ease
with which you can establish personal
relations between yourself and the
Filipino child, in distinction to the
aloofness of the Indian child. The
Filipino children blend with you; they
are extremely polite, ready to speak
and to enter into all the exercises of
the classroom. The Indian children,
as is well known, are more stolid, re-
served, and it is often difficult to get
them to talk. Like their cousins in
this country, however, the boys and
girls in the Philippine islands are

a man of education and presence. Mr.,
Robe says that the land allotment law
is "the best thing that ever happened
to the Indians, because it gives to
them homes" He says further that
many Of even the young people on the
reservation who have not been to
school adhere to the old ideas and old
traditions. For example, in Indian
homes regulated by old customs, an
Indian girl Is not allowed to speak to
her brother, he to her; but all in.
tercourse between them must be had
through the medium Of either their
father or their mother. Neither is it
considered proper for a man either
to speak to his mother.in-law or to be
seen in the same with her. Ii
he is known to have committed either
one of these acts he is considered
quite beyond the pale of responsibility.
Proof of the advance of the Indians
within the last decade is to be found
right here in Rapid City. During last
summer and fall about ninety men
worked for the Missouri River &
Northwestern Railroad company on

PhonoIite Belt Attracting Much Atten.
ton These Days.

Great activity prevails among che
companies operating OF the phOnolite
belt. This belt. a very important one,
in the mining interests of this section,
begins one mile westerly from Central
City, running to Carbonate camp and
Squaw creek on the north; to the
easterly side Of Bald mountain on the
west, and south to and including the
Globe property, which lies southwest
of Lead City. The principal compa-
MES included in this belt are the
Globe, Big Four, Pennsylvania, Hid
den Treasure, Capital, Morning Glory
and Gladiator. Immense dikes OF
eruptive rocks have rent the forma-
lions, twisting them into all kinds OF
shapes. In some places phonolite
bikes break directly through strong
%prophyry bikes. The Pennsylvania
company has explored rich verticals
occurring in the phonolite and has
shipped some valuable tuluride ore
to the smelters. The Big Four Is OPP
Grating a similar proposition with a
strong phonolite vein. All such prop
critics require deep mining as the best
values in phonolite districts are found
at a considerable depth. Competent
authorities state that the Black Hills
possess districts of very extensive and
highly valuable gold bearing veins
which are similar both geolog1cally
INTERNATIONALLY, or even identical with
those Of Cripple Creek. 1t is probable
that there is no section in the Black
Hills which offer greater assurance
of immense returns than does this sec
ton known as the phonolite district.
All explorations which have been made
at a considerable depth have proven
that the ore bodies are permanent n
very rich. The Big Four has two
veins. one fifteen feet wide, another
eight feet, both averaging over $40 a
ton. The ore is largely dierite or al
tered prophyry, being highly charged
with pyrites carrying values.
