Duluth, April so. - Death claimed
Frank w. Eaton OF Duluth Saturday,

the history of the country, i'm many re-
spects at least. and Frank w. Eaton
was the central figure.
Mr.. Eaton was fifty-seven years old

ters. The Eatons have summer

The appraisment of state building
lands. which will he offered next
month TO secure funds for the new
capitol, has been completed by the
state lands board. and soon will be
sent out in printed form to any one de-
string to purchase such lands. While
the last legislative session relieved
the board from the rigid minimum OF
SO an acre. the appraisement prices
as fixed in a large number OF cases
run to and above that figure.
The sales this year probably will be
more attractive to investors than were
those of last year on account of the
terms on which they were offered.
Last year the cash was demanded on
sale; while under the new laws and
regulations only one-third is demand
I'd at the date of the sale, one-siXth
next December, and the other half of
the purchase priCa TO run five years,
with the option of payment after the
second year.
Last year the best lands in McPher-
son county were placed upon the mar
ket, cutting the average prices for
lands in that county lower this year
than they would have been if all the
lands were yet to be offered.
The sales dates and average mini
mum prices for this year are: Hyde
county, at Highmore, May Is, average
from SO to 81 an acre; Hand county,
at Miller, May IA, with a minimum OF
from SO to $40 an acre: Faulk county
sales will be at Faulkton on May Is,

of TO bring in the funds required under
the proposed plan to erect only one
wing of the building, and Commission
er Dollken, with more leeway in the
matter Of sales and with the privilege

MORE INDIANS FARMING.
BED Men Yearly Take Increased In.
terest in Agriculture.

Spring on the Pine Ridge Indian res.
ervatiOn this year means great activity
among its Indian residents. numbering
now about 1000 in all Much of the
seasons work is well under way, and
crops Of corn, oats and potatoes, in ad-
ditiOn to the garden truck, will be
raised. While the land is essentially
stock-raising land, not being we'll
adapted to farming on account Of the
dryness, yet more interest is being
taken yearly in the matter of farming
and this year will see probably one
third more land under actual cultiva-
ton.
The Indians also have given actual
intelligent attention to the question of
stock raising. So far, their stock con-
sists chiefly of cattle and horses; but
it is noticeable that the latter are i'm
proving much in quality. Instead of
the tough little Indian ponies, inferior
in all other respects, the Indians are
now buying a good class of horses.
Many of the Indians are engaged in
the business of freighting from the
railroad at Gordon to the reservation,
and ofttn as many as thirty or forty
teams may be passed on the road with
supplies for the agency, and driven by
Indian owners. For this class of work
excellent horses are employed.

Farmer Thrown Before Machine In
Runaway Is Saved by Son,

BY the prompt action of his son, the
life OF James Bowers. a farmer resid.
ing in the southern portion of Brown
county, was saved. Bowers was en-
gagged in operating a pulverizer drill,
to which four horses were attached,
when the animals became frightened
and started to run away. In endeav.
Oring to control the animals, the farm.
er was thrown to the ground, and in
an instant he was being trampled by
the plunging horses. In moment
more they would have broken away,
and he would have been torn to pieces
by the machine. The son, having no
ticed the plight of his father, rushed
to his assistance, and by a desperate
effort succeeded in bringing the horses
to a standstill when the machine was
only a few inches from his father

Building and Other Improvements at
Meade Will Cost $4,000.


Improvement work at Fort Meade,
near Sturgis, will take on boom pro
portions during the fiscal year begin
ming July /. Senator f. H. Perkins of
Sturgis received semi-official informa-
ton to the effect that there will be ex-
pended $4,000 for the erection of a
cavalry drill hall; $4,000 for a band

semi-circle road enclosing the plaza in
the center of officers row, and the
further sum of $4,000 to provide for
matchmaking the road between the
fort grounds and the city limits. There
is strong probability of an administra-
ton building being included with those
above enumerated.
To meet the urgent need OF water
for trees and lawns of the post an ir-
rigation system is being planned. The
project under consideration is 10 eth

ARE GENEROUS TOWARD UTEs.
Cheyenne River Indians Grant Liberal
LAVA

The Indian council which has adj
journed at Cheyenne River agency was
attended by large number Of Indians
from all parts OF the reservation, and
the agency was surrounded for the
week by their tepees. The gathering,
which had under consideration the
leasing of tract to the Ute Indians
eryation last winter, were rounded up
in Wyoming, and brought to Fort
Meade, where they were held all win
ter. was addressed by a number of
chiefs and head men of the reservation
who generally were in favor of giving
their brethren a shelter. The repre-
sentatiyes OF the Utes were Chief APP
pach and Maj. Johnson of Fort Robin
son.
Appach made a plea for his people,
who he said could not live on the res
ervation set aside for them in Utah,
and that they were obliged to leave it
or starve. Maj. Johnson also made a
strong speech for the Utes, and it is
said by those who were present that
his talk was rather sensational in re-
gard to the Indian departments treat
ment OF the Utes. The discussion on
the matter lasted a day and a half
The lease which was granted was APP
proved by large vote OF a majority
OF the Indians present. 1t is to run
for five years. The permission is
given with 1t for the Utes to travel
over the reservation free of charge,
and to send their children to school.
The matter of the Benway Brothers
pasturing their cattle on the Milwau-
kee road cattle trail was up before the
council, but was not acted upon, as an
agreement had been reached between
the Benways and Agent Downs, the
details Of which are to be completed
by the business council which was au-
thorized to make a new lease of the
trail to the railway company at a rate
OF not less than 4 IL cents an acre per
year. This is question which proba-
bly, will require adjustment, as the
company only desires to use the
pasture part Of the summer when they
will ship over their new line to Mo-
bridge. But as the matter was turned
over to the Indian business council, it
probably will be adjusted.
Arrangements were made for
grand Fourth OF July celebration on
Virgo creek, about twenty-five miles
northwest Of the agency, at which In
dian Commissioner Leupp is expected
to be present to make an address to
the Indians. The council ended with
big feast for all who were present

Phone Company Seeks Injunction.

Mayor Reedy of Yankton has been
served with an injunction notice by
the Northwestern Telephone company,
which seeks to restrain the city from
further interfering with its plans to
improve its plant there. This last
move is the latest in the longdrawn-
out battle which began when Yankton
parties started an independent plant.
The injunction turns on whether the
Northwestern has any rights In the
city under a franchise.

SETTLE UPON SHEEP LANDS.
Tracts East Of Missouri Also Are in
Demand

The movement into the country west
OF the Missouri river is spectacular, as
IL is concentrated practically at the
three points of Pierre, Chamberlain
and Rapid City, where the land offices
are located, and such concentration
calls particular attention to this move
ment. But while people are going
west of the river by hundreds. the
portion OF the Missouri valley east OF
the river is securing a share of popu-
lation which comes to take the cheap
lands east of the river, to which they
can secure immediate title without
waiting TO perfect homestead title.
These people come with their families
and household goods. stopping at the
small stations along the line. not max
ing any great showing at any one
place, but helping materially in the
increase of population.
AS a sample of this latter movement,
eastern part of Hughes county has got
along with limited school facilities to
accommodate the few pupils in the
township, and the vote in the township
was not large enough to cut any great
figure on the total results in the coun-
ty elections. A few days ago the new
settlers in that township secured a
special election to vote on tht question
of school houses. and out of vote of
sixty-eight, secured fifty-four in favor
of the erection of five school houses to
accommodate the needs of the children
who are now in the township. This
move shows not only "homesteader''
vote, but It demonstrates also that the
population is permanent, with families
to provide for and a desire to give
them advantages such as they have
had before coming 10 this state.
Other townships in the same part
of the county are filling up as rapidly
as Raber, and the next election will
show far heavier vote from the east
end of the county than at any former
election.

FLOODING is SLOW TASK.
Homestake Mine May Be Tied Up for
Months.

The work of flooding the Homestake
mine for the purpose of extinguishing
the fire which broke out four weeks
ago already has begun, and practically
all the miners with the exception of q
few employed around the shafts and in
the offices are laid off, Not stamp is
dropping in any of the mills.
So far the water has risen from the
1,550-foot level, the lowest in the mine,
to the LOO, where it is now about
eight feet deep. From here on, how
ever, the rise will be slower, and
when the water reaches the 500. the
rise, for a number of days, hardly will
be perceptible, as the workings on this
level are exteisive.
Tit water is being turned into the
Ellison shaft, the lincoln shaft which
has been reopened for that purpose,
the open cut, and shortly will be
turned into the Savage tunnel from
WhitewoOd creek. This tunnel con-
meets with the 300-foot level. 1t is not
yet possible to determine the exact
location of the fire or it's extent. but il
is known to be burning some place be-
tween the 500 and 400-foot levels.
The time it will take to food and
then unwater the mine is variOusly es-
timated at from thirty days to six
months. There are about GS,000,000
cubic feet of space below ground
which it will be necessary to fill with
water before the mine is flooded TO the
necessary level.

CONDITIONS REVERSED.
Company Which Insisted on Premium
Refuses to Pay Loss After Fire.

Refuses to Pay Loss After Fire.
An insurance case was presented be-
fore the supreme court the past week
which will be watched with more than
usual interest by insurance men of the
country. The case is that of L. l..
Nordness VS.. the Mutual Cash Guar
anty Company of Sioux Falls. Nord-
ness was doing a mercantile business
at Waubay, and an application was
sent to the home Office of the Cash
Guaranty company for a policy of ST.
900 on the stock. The policy was writ
ten to go into effect Aug. /. Nordness
returned the policy to the home Office
of the company with the statement
that he had not made application for
any insurance with the company and
did not want it. 1t was again sent 10
him with letter from the company TO
the effect that the application had
the same, and n demand for the
amount of premium due upon the pol
icy. A second slime Nordness sent
back the policy with his refusal to ac-
cept 1t, and third time the company
sent in the policy, this time by regis
tered letter, with it's letter insisting
that the policy had been ordered, and
was considered in force. This regis
tered letter reached Nordness on the
2Sth of August, and the previous night
fire had destroyed the stock of goods
in question. Nordness at once mailed
to the company draft for the amount
of the premium. On the receipt OF his
claim for loss the company refused to
pay on the ground that the policy had
not been paid for at the time of the
fire, and other reasons, but the lower
court gave Nordness judgment for the
amount of the policy. The case now
comes to the supreme court on appeal.
