CASE THAT KILLED ATTORNEYS.
Court Will Deliver Decision Within
Sixty Days.

$3.50 ~ShSSI SSNIo|Ol WlII1lU
Sixty Days.
A case of some Importance that has
been dragging along in the courts for
the last five years was brought before
Judge Smith at Mitchell, which in.
volved the quieting of the title to six
quarter sections OF land in Sanborn
county In order that the heirs Of J. j.
Mngsberry can secure Judgment
against DR.. Baer Of Des Moines in
the sum of $4,000.
The case had It's origin some five
years ago, when DR.. Baer came out
here and attempted to direct the move-
ments Of Mr.. Kingsberry, who was a
tenant on the Baer farm, near Letcner.
One word led to another until, it is
said, Kingsberry attacked DR.. Baer
with pitchfork and Baer defended
himself with gun. taking shot at
the farmer, but doing little damage.
Baer, however, was arrested on a
criminal charge. and when his trial
was held at. Woonsocket he was ac-
Quilted
Then Kingsberry commenced suit
for damages, and finally obtained
Judgment for $4,000. Before the judy
rnent was secured, however, Baer, it
is alleged, transferred six quarter sec
tons of land to his wife to avoid pay
ing the money. In the meantime
lHingsberry died Of natural causes, and
later his attorney, l. @. Hardesty, Of
Mitchell went insane and was placed
in an asylum.
Judge Reed of Woonsicket was then
placed in charge of the case for DR..
Baer, and the second attorney finally
died. S. A. Ramsey of Woonsocket
then took charge of the case for DIR.
Baer, and he says he does not appre-
bend anything serious from his con-
nection with the case. J. A. Whiting
Of Woonsocket and Preston & Han
nett of Mitchell have charge Of the
case for administrator of the Kings
berry estate. The court took the evil
dance under Amusement and will rem
der decision in the cours of sixty
DAYS.

LOWER BRULE LISTS ARE READY
Good Chances for Clams Are Reported Tor the First Two
Hundred Who May Appear.

The list Of the first $50 names
drawn for selection of Lower Brule
lands has been completed. This list
comprises practically one name for
each claim to be had on the tract. and
and was the first list sent out, The
drawing was continued until 1000
names We're selected, and all within
that number will be notified by the
government the number of selection
which they have drawn, but after 800
there will not be anything in the way
OF selection. OF course, it is more
than probable that some of the list
under that number will not appear,
but enough will to take up the better
land.
one man who just returned from q
weeks trip over the tract said this
evening Ne would as soon have any
number under 200, as up to that they
were practically the same and all
good, but after that the claimant
would have to do some hunting to
ma claim worth much, and after
another fifty had picked he would not
want any of 1t.
Very few Of those who drew chances
remained in the city. and they will
have to come from their homes after
notification to make their filings, A
number did stay, but there was no &c.
lection in the list.
Those whose names are in the frst
fifty We're called to appear at the land
office Monday, Oct. 81, to offer their
filings. If they fail to appear on that
date they lose their preference right,
and have gained nothing by their reg
lstration and luck In securing an early
number. The second fifty must appear
Tuesday, Oct. %, under the same pro-
visions, and from that time on until
the $50 have made selections, fifty
Will be called each day. After that
the land will be held until December.

GROSS FRAUD IS CHARGED

st. Paul, Oct. 90 - Quo warranto
proceedings were begun in the SUI
preme court yesterday looking to the
dissolution of Mahnomen county, a
new district created out Of part OF
Norman county, and voted on at the
last election.
Fraud Charged.
Following the petition for the ere.
alton Of the county out Of a part Of
Norman county and the Endorsement
Of the same at the election last year.
Gov. Johnson issued the usual procla.
nation, confirming the same and an.
nouncing the new district as one Of
the counties of the state. Protests al
leging fraud were made, and while
they seemed to be borne out by facts
it was held by the legal department
that the executive could do nothing
beyond announce the legal creation Of
the new county. Mr.. Young, however
agreed to allow the use of his name II
it was desired to bring the matter into
the courts.
Not Enough signers.
This the protestants have decided
upon. Through Mr.. Young, they make
the allegations that insetad of the re-
quired 1000 inhabitants, the new
county has only LOO; that over half
the signers to the petition for the
new county were non-residents, and
that the number on the petition did
not come up the legal figure.
In a word, fraud is specified in con-
nection with the creation of Mahnoo-
men county.

Alaska Puzzles Scientists.

(f IOlu llK washington oSs'y
Alaska battles science" said F. G.
Miles, who has spent much of his life
in that country. II have known sci
en1ists to go into that country with
the most plausible theories in the
world, but they went out of it with
none of them left.
"It is impossible for them to explain
the frozen condition Of the ground for
a INSTANCE of 2sO, feet down into the
earth or to account for the finding
there of giant mastodons and mann
moths. II have seen ivory tusks taken
out of the ground that measured twenty
feet and the skulls of these animals
were bigger than a 40 shilling pot.
.There are impressions of ferns TO
be found that show the vegetation to
have been hundred feet high. Among
all these evidences of animal life, how
ever there is not a sign of the existence
of man. What amuses me is the way
the so-called scientists approach Alas-
ka. They assume to have explanations
for everything in natures: but the mo-
ment they get UP into Alaska and see
the wonders of the earth there and are
Intercepted by the practical miners
who have lived there for years all their
ideas vanish and they disclose the faft
that they really know nothing"

The Paint LANGUAGE.

The young Apache squaw had half
hour to spare before her fire dance on

Write All article she said, about

the various designs that an Indian
paints his face"
Laughing, she leaned against the
gold wheel of a chariot, and. very pic
turesque in her red gown>on the sun
drenched grass, with the great white
tent for a background, she went on in
musical gutterals:
"When an Indian paints his cheeks
in scarlet lines, and daubs yellow
square on his forehead, the world
knows he is in love.
when he covers his face with zig
gag black Inns upon anNochre base 1t
is his purpose to ah--Im almost
ashamed to say ito get just as skated
as he possibly can.
"When red circles are on each cheek
bone, and rectangle of blue is on the
forehead, the young brave is going out
to steal a pale face horse,
when he paints white rings around
his eyes, he is running for office; he is
a candidate for medicine man for coun-
cillor. and the white rings signify that
he ought TO be elected because he has
