STEEL STREETS IN PARIS.
Made of Harrow Points Filled in with
Fine Concrete.

Paris is experimenting with the
attest thing in pavement. They call 1t
steel pavement, but it is really con-
crete pavement reinforced with a steel
framework.
The trial section OF 1t has been laid
on the rue Saint-Martin, in front of
the conservatoire of arts and indus
tries.
The metal part OF the pavement is
plate of perforated steel with strong
bolts OF steel running through ii be-
tween the perforations. Each section
has some resemblance to a steel har-
row. only the prongs project equally
on each side and they are square and
blunt
The plates are arranged close to-
gether on a bed of rough concrete,
such as is used for wood block pave
ment. Then specially prepared ce-
ment is shoveled upon them IN a soft
condition and rammed down until it
makes a solid mass, with the steel
frame just leveled OF evenly with the
upper tips of the prongs.
The steel prongs are so close to-

RUsTLERs ARE CAUGHT.
Band Of Horse and Cattle Thieves
Cauqht-Depredatio Cease.

According to information received
by the United States authorities in
Sioux Falls, gang of horse and cat
tie thieves who. for number of years.
have infested the Rosebud Indian res
ervation in the extreme south central
portion of the state, has finally been
broken up. Every member of the
band, five in number, is now under ar
rest.
The members of the gang have been
unusually bold and daring in their
operations, 1t is claimed that during
the time they have run off not less
than one thousand head of horses and
cattle. The particular charge upon
which they now have been arrested
is the theft of bunch Of thirty-six
head Of cattle, which they took to the
Nebraska side of the line and sold.
The ringleader of the gang is Jo-
seph Ferron, who was arrested several
weeks ago, and who now is confined
in the county Jail in Sioux Falls await
ing trial at the next term Of the
United States court, which will be
held in this city in April, Ferron S
lieutenant was William Morgan who
was arrested at Fairfax last week, and
on direction of United States Marshal
Seth Bullock was taken to the Law
renee county Jail at Deadwood for
Now word has reached Sioux Falls
that through tie efforts Of Capt.
Jack" Foster, government brand
inspector, stationed on the Rosebud
reservation, the remaining members
of the gang have been placed under
arrest. They were run to earth and
made prisoners at the new town of
Murdo, on the Chamberlain Black
Hills extension of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul railroad.
Since Ferron was placed in che
county jail in this city he was visited
by Capt, Foster, and, it is believed,
that the officer at that time secured
information which assisted materially
in the arrest of Morgan and the re-
naming members of the band.

KING ESTATE SETTLED.
Niece and Daughter Establish Claims
to $4,000.

The long case concerning the dis
trlbuuon of the estate of the late
Jerry King has just been settled in
the Pennington county circuit court.
King, who lived in that county for
many years and had cleaned up for
tune amounting to $4,000, left some
interesting legal questions to be set
tied by Judge and jury. The first in
terestlng question was whether or not
his niece, Miss Corinne Ray, was en-
titled to $4,000 in certificates on the
pennington County bank, which her
uncle gave her shortly before his
6eath He handed them to her with
the remark that this was to be her
snare of the estate. However. the
ceruhcates were no Endorsed. The
administrators therefore claimed that
they were valueless, and that King
died lntestate The jury took a differ
ent view Of the question and rendered
verdict in favor of Miss Ray, giving
her $1,000 with interest, amounting
IN all to nearly $4,000 The second
question was the establishing of the
identity of Mrs. Flora Belle Hollis Of
Ellsworth Me-. who claimed to be the
daughter Of King. Mrs. Hollis brought
from the Eastern state a number Of
witnesses to establish her claim, and
o1fered as one of the most telling bits
OF evidence Black Hills gold ring
given her by King on his last visit,
and engraved on the inside to show
1t was from her father. The court
decided in her favor, and she will re-
ce1ve the rest OF the estate, valued at
about $4,000.
Unless appeals are taken these two
estates will stand. Additional claim

treaty embodying compromise bill
to be introduced in congress in lieu

duced at the opening of the present

expressed himself as being positive
the bill would pass both houses at this
session.
The opening of Trip county to set
Element and entry will add some 5000
or 5000 to the population Of South
Dakota, and will cause the settling
up and cultivation of approximately
100000 acres of land. Six or eight
new municipalities will be added to
the commonwealth and a large trade
territory opened to the wholesale
markets.
When that portion Of the Rosebud
reservation lying within Gregory coun-
ty was thrown open to settlement in
1904, over 100000 persons registered
for claims. The tract to be opened
in Trip county, five miles west of
Gregory, is more than as large again,
and will, no doubt cause registration
of many thousands.
Trip county has the largest body of
unopened farming land, aside from
tracts that must be irrigated, in the
West to-day. Its opening to settle
ment and entry will, therefore, cause
a tremendous rush of landseekers.
