Court Will Deliver Decision Within
Sixty Days.

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 ]. ].
klngsberry can secure judgment
against DR.. Baer of Des Moines in
the sum Of $4,000.
The case had its 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 Letcher.
One word led to another until, It Is
said, Kingsberry attacked Dr.. Baer
with a %pitchfork and Baer defended
himself with a gun. taking a shot at
the farmer, but doing little damage.
Baer, however, was arrested on a
criminal charge. and when his trial
was held at W~oonsocket he was ac-
quilted.
Then Kingsberry commenced suit
for damages, and finally obtained a
Judgment for $4,000. Before the judg-
ment was secured, however, Baer, it
is alleged, transferred six quarter sec
lions of land to his wife to avoid pay
ing the money. In the meantime
Kingsberry died Of natural causes, and
later his attorney. 1. @. Hardesty, Of
Mitchell went insane and was placed
in an asylum.
Judge Reed of Woonsicket was Their
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 advisement and will ren-
der a decision in the cours OF sixty
days.

OVER BRULE LISTS ARE READY
Good Chances for Claims Are Reported for 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 were selected, and all within
that number will be notified by the
government the number of selection
which they have drawn, but after 800
tfere will not be anything in the wav
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 a
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
find a claim worth much, and after
another fifty had picked he would not
want any of It.
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 hrst

office Monday. Oct. p, to offer their
filings. II they fail to appear on that
date they lose their preference right,

visions, and from that time on until

NEW GANG IN soUrh DAKOTA.
Systematic Removal Of Horses From

Systematic Removal Of Horses From
the State 10 Battling the Officers.
BY a clever system of relays a Sec
ond gang of horse thieves is making
life miserable for the rancher in the
western part Of this state and East
ern Wyoming. The depredations have
extended over several counties in the
last few weeks.
When, last summer, Sheriff Trathen
and Sheriff Moses of Butte county
broke up the Rose gang BY capturing
all it's leaders, it was thought horse
stealing would die out for a time, but
a new gang soon supplanted the old
one, high prices prevailing over the
West, making the procuring of horses
in any manner worth the hazard, and
the gang is a desperate one. They
have established relays forty miles
apart, and when one member makes
away with a bunch of horses he has
but forty miles to travel before he Is
relieved by a second member, who
takes the animals still further into
Wyoming, where he is in turn re-
lieved, and the officers are baffled by
the changing descriptions Of the rust
lers that are furnished by the country
folk.
. Deputies Will Trathen and Reece
have just returned from a 12O-mile
ride into Wyoming, where they caught
an alleged rustler who had succeeded
in disposing of the animals before
the officers came UP. AS they would
have had no evidence on which to
hold him, they released him.

a new brick factory has just been

ton within a short time. The brick
will be manufactured from the gumbo
soil in It's native state, little prepara-
ton being necessary. In tests the
gumbo has shown the best possible
qualities for producing a high-class
brick. The output of the company
will at first be 10000 brick per day,

Minneapolis Man Takes Big Risk to
ThWart Bandits.
Olaf Bergstrom, who says he lives
in Minneapolis, had an exciting ex-
p~erience in a box car a few miles east
of Aberdeen. He arrived there from
North Dakota, coming by way Of
Edgeley, and was on his way home
with his savings, amounting to about
$50, which he had earned in the har-
vest fields.
He boarded a freight train, intend
ing to beat his way through, but at .
crossing two masked men jumped into
the car. They told him to hold up his
hands and made a rush at him. For
tunately the door on the opposite side
of the box car was open, and Berg
strom, unmindful of the fact that the
train had started again and was going
at a good speed made a dive out OF
the car. He landed on his feet, but
turned two or three somersaults be-
fore he finally came to a stop. He
then hurried back to this city and
informed the police.
1t is supposed the men saw Berg
strom in Aberdeen, and, knowing that
he had a roll Of bills, kept a watch on
him till he boarded the freight car.
when they hurried to the railroad
crossing east of here, where all trains
have to stop.

Good Barley Crop Is Reported in

Bookings County.
Bookings county has the largest
barley crop of any county in the state:
the official figures being placed at l.,
653,40 bushels. While the acreage
has not increased to any appreciate
extent over last year, the tremendous
increase in price has enabled the
farmers to realize more out of this
crop than ever before. In many in.
stances barley was sown only as a
last resort, but it turned out to be
the most productive of cash of any
crop sown. Corn also has done eX'
%ceptionally well, as it matured early
enough to miss the frost. Many or
ders are being received for corn for
seed by the seed houses, as the crop
is harder and better developed than
is Iowa and some parts. of Minnesota.

driver decided it would be too much
bother to load Silver into the sleigh
again. He placed him over near a
shack and arrived in Granville about
1880 o'clock.
He made no mention of having left
Silver on the way until about 10

frozen. Whether he was dead from
heart disease when he fell from the
sleigh or persisted afterward will be

NEW YORK STORM SWEPT.
Thirteenth Blizzard Dashes Hope That
Winter Was Over.

Winter Was Over.
New York, March 12.-Leaden skies
and the ominous east wind to which
New Workers awoke yesterday dashed
any hopes they may have entertained
that the backbone of winter, locally
speaking, had been broken. For sew
eral days the sun had shone promis-
ingly, but the city's thirteenth big
snow storm came yesterday.
Six Inches of Snow,
In eight hours nearly six inches OF
snow had fallen, bringing the total
snowfall of the winter up to forty-four
inches.
This is double the fall of last win
Ter, and, according to the local wealth
er bureau the end is not yet. The
cost of removing the snow from the
streets is estimated at $4,000 the fiat
inch.
1t being Sunday there was no great
tie-up of street traffic. A trolley car
conductor, blinded by the snow, sent
his car across the tracks of the Long
Island railroad, near Hampstead,
ahead Of train. The locomotive
struck the rear of the car, but no one
was seriously injured.
Liners in Trouble.
On the North and East rivers the
ferryboats experienced troublous

to reach their docks yesterday, but the
La Savoie was the only one to dock.
No liner, other than the Savoie and
