The Crow Creek Indians are making
big preparations for their carnival
which will begin on Sept. 20 and will
last a week. They have raised a sub
scription of about $1,000 with which
to entertain the visiting Indians, a
large number of whom from various
tribes are expected. Horse aces ga
lore, war dances, sham battles and
other amusements of that nature will
constitute the program.
The Indians living on this reserva
ton are Winnebago Sioux who were
sent there soon after the New Ulm
in the COS. The reservation
is thus one of the Oldest in South Da-
kota, and is also one Of the best CON

MILL ROBBED OF GOLD.
Trusted Empioye Is Arrested and Con-
spiracy Is Seen.

BY an organized system of robbery
Erwin M. Hilton, a trusted employee,
and others for whom the officers are
looking, 1t is charged, have succeeded
In stealing al unknown sum from the
Golden Reward Mining company, of
which T. H. Hartman, the railroad
magnate, is a large owner. Hilton Is
under arrest. When confronted with
evidence, 1t Is alleged he broke down
and confessed, duplicating others in
his operations.
Hilton was employed In the precipi.
tation room of the Golden Reward.
Some time ago the company began to
suspect that they were losing some of
their precipitates, a form of black
mud containing the gold values after
they have passed through most of the
foSms Of the cyaniding process. Hill
ton was not suspected until a few
days ago, when he went to Lead and
e~ndeavored to dispose of some gold
bullion. The chief of police Of that
city heard of 1t and informed the com.
pany, when an investigation CON.
menced that ended with Hilton's ar.
rest.
Later Hilton, It Is claimed, returned
to the company about 5000 worth OF
bullion, which he declared was all that
he had taken. The superintendent,
Henry Schnitzel, believes this figure
far too low to cover the alleged theft,
and he says he has learned that Hilton
had several ~confederates on the out.
side, who, as soon as they learned
that the officers were on their track,
left the city.
The precipitates were stolen In the
mill while passing from the zinc to the
lead boxes. II was not a difficult mat.
ter to conceal some of the stuff each
day and take 1t home. Hilton, it is al.
legged, had erected in one Of the
gulches near town a gasoline assay
furnace where he secretly melted
down the precipitates after they had
hardened, and made them into gold.
1t is believed that a conspiracy exist
ed and that the theft was larger than
is known at this time, as it apparently
has extended over several weeks.
A number of warrants are out and
more developments In the case are ex-
pectsd In the next day or two. Hilton
Is married aud has q family.

tiary has arranged with an Eastern
correspondence school for books on
a number of studies which are given
at the school, and will place these
books in the hands of prisoners who
are anxious to improve their educa-
tional qualifications during the time
they are in prison. Warden narme-
ley believes this will be better for
many CT them than to spend their
leisure time in reading novels which
they secure from the prison library.
which has a total Of about 1000 vol
umes.
1t is reported by Warden Parmeley
that the health of the prisoners in
the penitentiary is unusually good.
and that the prison hospital has not
had an inmate for a period Of about
three months. Out of a total of lit
prisoners who are at present serving
terms in the ~penitentiary, twenty-five
of them are serving life terms. This
percentage is very large.
Inside the prison yard there has
been in course Of construction for some
time the new binder twine factory,
for which the state Legislature made
an appropriation a couple OF years
ago. 1t will cost much more than the
amount of the appropriation TO COM
plete and equip the binder twine
plant. The factory building is $500
feet in size, and Is built of Sioux Falls
granite, which Is taken from a quarry
belonging to the state. The building
has concrete trimmings. 1t will be
two stories in height, and when COM
pleted will turn out manila and sissai
twine. Another building which Is be-
ing completed at the penitentiary Is
a storage building eighty-ive feet
square II will be used for the stor-
age of the product of the Irvine fac
tory. The factory will be what is
known as a one-system mill, and will
have about 100 spinners.
New Power House.
The new power house also Is near
ing completion. This building has q
stack Of concrete blocks 1876 feet high.
The warden takes great pride In the
stack because the prisoners made the
blocks during the past winter. The
stack has a base of twenty feet
square, and has not settled one thirty
second of an inch since 1t was reared.
Warden Parmeley estimates that the
whole cost of the improvements now
under way at the ~penitentiary, includ-
ing the new buildings, would be about
$4,000.
He said further that II there Is no
special appropriation made for the
cost of the works, which would be in
excess of the original appropriations,
the money would be taken from the
local endowment fund Of 10000,
which has been created by the profits
from the prison factories.

GETS CATHOLIC COLLEGE.

A Catholic college is to be located at
Woonsocket. A tract containing elev-
en- and one-half acres of land has been
purchased with funds which were con-
tributed by the citizens OF Woonsock-
ct. Negotiations now are in progress
for more land. Upon the tract pur-
chased and donated for the college,
buildings to the value of $780, 900 will
be erected. One OF the buildings will
be a college for girls, while another
will be utilized as an orphanage.
