COUNTY COURT HOUSE
Structure on Leavenworth Street
 May Be Examined This Week.

Senator Irving II. Chase, chairman of the New Haven county delegation in the legislature. has appointed . committee to inquire into the needs of the county court house in Water bury. The committee consists of Senator Farrel of Ansonia and Rep resentatives Tillson of New Haven. Hayes of Waterbury, Culver of Naug- atuck and Cable of Oxford. The committee will report as soon as pos sible at a meeting of the county rep resentatives and senators. The law yers of Waterbury will endeavor to have the committee visit the local court house, perhaps this week. They say they have no place for consulta- tiOn with client, hardly a place In which to hang their hats. and the newspaper men are as badly on, and the court stenographer has to double up with the prosecuting officer. and there is hardly room in the library for three cats to dance. They might be able to dance a jig, for that would not occasion much space, but for a waltz or buck and wing 1t would be out of the question.
 Some mornings when the janitor feels big he is unable to turn around to swish the dust of the tones of learning, and he has to move out to turn around. When he has trouble with the upper tiers of books he has to put ladder down through the sky light. When the court house was building the lawyers were aware of all these discrepancies, but they were very glad to get anything that looked like court house. Now, of course. things are different. and Waterbury will soon be the seat of Waterbury county.

NAUCATUCK OUTFIT
Found Near Wedges Corner
 Horse Cut. Sleigh Smashed.

A horse that looked to have been in scrimmage with something sharp was found wandering on the trolley tracks near Wedges Corner, on the Cheshire extension, this morning, and it was taken to the police station. Not far distant was what once was good looking sleigh. It was wreck, hardly worth taking to the repair shop. Everything indicated that the outfit had had set to with trolley car last evening and that whoever was in the sleigh got the worst of it. The outfit belonged to Mrs Ida F. Taylor, who keeps meat and fish store and livery stable at 262 Water street, Naugatuck, which same is managed by her husband, James. The police telephoned Taylor this morning and ascertained that man named Maurice Richards had taken out sleigh last evening and had not returned with it, but whether it was the wrecked outfit found near Wedges Corner he could not say.
 AIiCAdI uo uHCu lAC olCi6H llOHt Liveryman Taylor and drove to this city and then headed out east and kept right on until he reached the point beyond Calvary cemetery where the trolley tracks leave the highway and run through private property. Evidently mistaking the trolley route for the highway he drove along the track and was pressing onward when he collided with Cheshire trolley car. The sleigh was demolished. but luckily the driver and the horse es- caped with their lives. The horse was cut some on the limbs.
 Superintendent Beach sent the anil nal to a livery stable and later on MT Taylor came and took care of it. Superintendent Beach knows no reason why the man should have been there and the only explanation any, body can give for the strange case is that the Naugatuck man missed his bearings and probably thought he was enroute to his home. In any case he was fortunate that the ex- perience did not cost him his life.

KEEPS AFTER HERD BAR.
Farmers Again Will Petition Board
That Rejected Demand.

uuaI nSJeCIe0 0eman0.
The county commissioners of Lyman
county, all of whom are said to be in
terested with stockmen, at late meet
ing turned down the petition for an
election under the herd law Of last
winter. declaring it to be insufficient
after striking Off 176 names. which
cut it to 80 below the required major
ity OF the votes cast for governor at
the last general election.
The herd law people presented their
petition as soon as they had major
ity. but the commissioners ruled that
the names appearing upon the petition
must DO names on the poll lists. and
new residents whose names had not
yet been placed upon the poll lists
were cut of. By this action the num-
Der was barely reduced below the re-
quired figure, and no action was
taken.
This action on the part Of the COM
missioners only has stirred the herd
law people to greater determination
to get vote before the next crop year.
and they again are securing the coun-
try with petitions. They say that when
they again go to the county commits
sioners it will be with petition which
cannot be. cut down to point where
it can be thrown out on technicality.
They do not propose to have their
crops destroyed by cattle another year
II there is any way to prevent ii.

homesteaders, residing in Western
South Dakota, appeared before Judge
Garland of the United States court in
Sioux Falls and pleaded guilty to an
information charging them with hav-
ing cut and hauled timber from an
Indian allotment Owing to extenuat-
ing circumstances surrounding the
case. Judge Garland imposed the mini
mum fine of $25 upon each Of tho do
PENDANTS, which they paid. and the
case against them was dismissed
The two men who recently had ar
rived in South Dakota from Iowa
made homestead entry on land near
Philip in the western part of Stanley
county, near the boundary line of the
Cheyenne Indian reservation. Not ro-
allzlng that they were violating the
federal statutes, they went short
distance into the reservation to land
which had been allotted to individual
Indians. and cut timber with which
to construct their claim "shanties."
A government official who has SUI
peryision of that part of the reserva-
ton appeared upon the scene and
made the two surprised homesteaders
unload the timber from their wagon.
Complaint then was made to the fed
eral authorities of South Dakota, and
the arrest of the two homesteaders
followed.

Banks Thrive and Show High Aver

Reports of the state bank examiner
ant the national banks doing business
in South Dakota make good showing
for the last year. The reports cover
the condition Of banks in September.
1906, and August. 1907. practically a
year, and show that n that time the
state banks have increased from 1886
to 3S7, with heavy increase in depos-
Its. At the last named date the state
banks showed deposits amounting to
1874, 1913 ,628.64, an increase of 1885,
34762 over the September condition
the previous year.
For the same time the national
banks of the state had increased, from
10 to 80, six new banks having opened
for business in the year. These banks
carried $50, ,47926, an increase Of
about $4,000, 100000 for the year, max
Ing the total net increase in deposits
in the state for the year $9,399, 1892.
and the total bank deposits of the peo-
pie of the state at that time $54,958,-

While the last census of the state
showed population of half mill
ion the increase since that time has
probably been sufficient to make bank
showing in round numbers 500 for
every resident of the state. of what
ever age.

klttrsdoe Introduces Bill to Aid Un.
lucky Filters.
A number of homesteaders In the
western part of this state, and as
we'll in other homestead sections Of
the United States will watch with in
terest the bill introduced at the open
ing Of the session by Senator Kilt
redge.
The bill in question allows a set
tier second homestead under GER
tain conditions, where the party did
not complete title to his first filing.
In the past. under congressional enact
ment, settlers who could not secure
water on their locations, or who could
show good cause for other reasons,
were allowed, and to make new filings
ON tracts more satisfactory to them,
the general land office ruling that
they had such privilege under the ex-
listing statutes. Since the general agi-
tation over the country in regard to
the management of the public lands,
the general land Office rules that such
settlers have no rights upon the tracts
which they have filed
In many cases extensive improve
ment have been made upon just such
filings.
In Stanley county one claimant has
placed more than $1,000 worth of i'm
provement upon his tract. and in an
other a homesteader with large
family has staked his all on such a
claim. These are only two incidents,
and probably every township west of
the river would show one or two such
cases. Several of the parties so In
terested asked Hon. C. H. Burke for
his assistance in their behalf, and he
has interested Senator Kittredge In
their cases, resulting in the introduce
ton of bill, which will give them
relief at the earliest possible oppor-
tunity.

he was sent to the penitentiary. The
new company of Mitchell men. who
expect to buy the property of the
Mitchell Gas company or erect new
plant. has offered large reduction
In rates, the maximum being 10 cents
per thousand watts, which is made
lower still by larger use Of electricity.
Two gas franchises also have been
placed on their first reading. Both
make lower rate for gas than now Is
furnished in this city. The rate Of
one is $1.25 and the other $3.50 per
thousand cubic feet. If both are
passed Mitchell will have three gas
companies.

HAS TO SUSPEND ALLOTING WORK
Frozen Ground Holds Up Trip Surveying Family Record
Requirement Also lmpedes Progress Of Work, but
Opening Will Likely Occur Next Fall.

Intending settlers who are looking
for an early opening OF the govern.
ment lands in Trip county on the
Rosebud Indian reservation will have
to wait longer than first was antici-
pated. Such is the information given
out by j. H. Scriven, the governments
allotting agent, who has been at work
on these lands since last spring. AS
to the progress being made in the
work OF allotment, Mr.. Scriven made
the following statement when asked
as to the possibility of an early open
Ing of the government lands, it being
understood that the opening was de-
pendent largely upon the time 1t would
take to allot the lands:
I'VE we're forced to suspend our field
work last week on account Of where
the ground was burned over last fall
1t has frozen SO deep that we could
not drive stakes or dig pit holes. We
have allotted since beginning the field
work on June 700 different applica.
tons, and will have about 900 more
to make in the spring. This winter
the force will be occupied in enrolling
what has been allotted, taking family
records and listing new applications
for next years work. am satisfied
we will be able to get all of this kind
of work done by the time the frost is
out of the ground, SO we can begin
field work again next spring. The
department requires me to take the
family record or census of each person
that allot, and as this is new de.
parture from the old-time methods,
when all an Indian had to say was
'Allot my child and the allotting agent
did the rest, the Indians were very,
very slow for the first two OF three
months in giving in their records.
This made it very inconvenient and
difficult work, as We frequently had to
make drives much too far in order to
reach our days allotting.
with all details arranged, l can
systematic and bunch the allotments
SO that we easily can do twice as fast
work as we have been able to accom-
plish this year., and if the frost is out
of the ground sufficiently for US to be-
gin field work by April we will be
through by Aug. 1, and with all the
little details arranged it will not be
necessary for me to put in much Of
my time in the field. which will give
me ample time to work on my books
and records. Thus. will be able to
keep up close to the field work and
will be able also to send In my sched-
