CLERKS
NOT EXEMPT
Anti-Pass Law Includes Clerks on
Regular Runs

Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. l6. "A sem
sation Of generous proportions has
been created among the railway mail
clerks whose routes are in South Da-
kota by the discovery that they are
not exempt from the provisions Of
the anti-pass law recently enacted
by the state legislature, and which
already has gone into effect, having
contained an emergency clause.
1t is now violation Of the law, by
oversight, for the mail clerks TO
ride on the trains and handle the
mails of Uncle Sam without paying
full fare. Some of the conductors
are collecting full fare from the
clerks, while others are passing them
until they can receive instructions
from Headquarters.

Legislation at Washinaton Per-

Washington, Feb. Ii. South Da-
kota fares well in the Indian bill.
Among the items approved by the
senate were $4,000 for repair of
buildings at Pine Ridge, Sal, 500 for
the Chamberlain school, $72,625 for
the Flandreau school, SAT $50 for the
Pierre school, including $4,000 to be
Immediately available for one build
ing and repairing structures recent
ly damaged, and SO, $50 to pay claim
of Mrs Jane f. Waldron. For the
Sioux of different tribes, including
Santee Sioux, of Nebraska, $797, 900
was appropriated, the same as in the
house bill, and for the Yankton
Sioux $4,000 was appropriated.
For the continuance of the general
Indian work i'm South Dakota the
appropriations carried by the house
bill were approved. Later the COM
mittee reported against confrma-
ton.
Senator Gamble put in an amend
ment to the river and harbor bill to-
day providing for the improvement
of the Missouri river near Yankton
to the extent of $4,000.
At the request of Senator Gamble
the judiciary committee yesterday de-
ferred for week decisive action on

buy feed and will keep their stock
Shipments are being made from
Miller of corn, oats speltz and it is
presumed that other points are re-
ceiving like orders. There is an
abundance of feed of all kinds in
Hand County, and this rush order
demand is raising prices.
Chas Thomson reports shipment of
feed to Pierre, and G. w. Collins
sold for shipment car of old corn
at 35 cents. This, we believe was
purchased by R. w. Barnes for
shipment to Midland.
E. M. Dunn has a force of men at
work baling and loading hay for
shipment to Midland. He has orders
for several car loads. The range
country west of Pierre contains a
large amount of stock, but they put
up very little feed out there, depend
ing largely upon the winter range.
So far there has not been a very
great loss of stock reported west of
the river, but there may be yet, be-
cause the stock is not in very good
condition to withstand the chill
winds and rains of the spring months
on short feed. Many of them are
also injured by having feet and legs
cut in the crusted snow and ice.
From now on they will be able to
Craze some on the hillsides where
the snow has melted, but it will take
a great deal of feed yet to carry
through to the spring grass.

SECOND HOME
STEAD PRIVILEGES
Lyman Co. Settlers to Petition
Congress For Right of Double
Homestead Entry

Oacoma S. d., Feb. 16. Settlers
residing in Lyman county have in
augurated a movement to have con-
gress enact the necessary legislation
which will permit homesteaders who
have made communication proof of
government lands in western South
Dakota to make second homestead
entry.
1t is argued that while the rail-
roads have done their part in de-
veloping the country it is the sturdy
farmers and stockmen who advanc-
ed the country more than anyone
else, and that they should be entitled
to two quarter sections of Uncle
Sans land.
In pursuance of the plan petitions
will soon be circulated and when all
i'm favor of the movement have had
an opportunity to sign them they will
be sent to the South Dakota repre-
sentatives in congress with request
bills be introduced and pushed
through congress giving the bona
fide settlers the concession to which
they believe they are entitled.

ROSEBUD LANDS
TO BE OPENED

Washington, Feb. l6 Representa-
tive Burke has secured a favorable
report from the house Indian COM
mittee, and Senator Gamble from
the senate Indian committee, on the
bill to open the Rosebud Indian lands
in Trip county, South Dakota, to
settlement. The Burke proposition
is in the form Of an ordinary bill,
and the Gamble bill provides for rat
ification Of the agreement recently
negotiated by Inspector Mclaughlin.
Both provide for the sale of the lands
at Sc per acre for the first three
months after opening; $3.50 for the
next six months, and $3.50 per acre
thereafter.
One important provision is an ap-
preparation of $l65, 600 to pay the
state for school lands, and another
is that for the Encouragement of al
lotments, in addition to which child
rem born since last allotment was
made are to receive their share OF
lands. This provision was prepared
and championed by Mr. Burke.
If the bill goes through this ses-
sion it will be year or more before
the lands are opened.

HALF BREED WEDS
SIOUX MAIDEN
Grand Daughter of Famous Chief
Spotted Tail

Sioux Falls Argus: While in
Sioux Falls on official business, Cap
tain Jack Foster, government stock
inspector on the Rosebud Indian res
ervation, reported recent notable
event in Sioux society circles on that
reservation.
The event was the marriage of
Louise Spotted Tail, of the Sioux no
bility, and Alfred Bordeaux. mix
ed blood Indian who is one of the
wealthiest men on the reservation.
Interest was added to the marriage
by the fact that the bride is grand
daughter of Spotted Tail, the famous
chief, who was shot and killed in the
early eighties by Crow Dog, one of
the brethern, as the result of an
Indian feud.
The marriage of the descendant of
the old chief was celebrated by big
feast and dance, in which hundreds
of the Indians participated. Bord-
eaux and his bride are well civilized
and dress in the accepted style of the
whites. AS the bride also is quite
wealthy in her own right, the couple
are looked upon as being leaders of
the Stony "4OO'

MELTING SHOWS
OVERFLOW RIVERS
Highwaters and Ice Going Out of
Big Muddy

Vermillion, Feb. 18.-The Missouri
bottom for four miles west and six
miles east of Vermillion is entirely
submerged by water today. An ice
gorge formed late yesterday after
noon in the Missouri river and the
overflow was so sudden that the
residents on the bottom land barely
escaped with their lives.
Cattle and hogs by the thousands
are perishing and the Milwaukee
grades are washing out for miles.
The river is still rising at the rate
of three inches an hour. At some
places the water stands five feet
deep in houses on the bottom land.
1t is the worst flood in this section in
twenty five years.

2=CT FARE BILL
AGAIN LOST OUT
Rate Bill Mixup

Pierre, S. ID. Feb, 10. The house
two-cent rate bill performed more
acrobatic stunts this morning. 1t is
now resting and the chances are its
slumbers will not again be disturbed.
At the opening of the house this
morning, Browne moved that the bill
be indefinitely postponed. Carroll
protested, and without thinking,
moved that Brownies motion be
tabled. Carrcll's motion pre-
vailed by vote of AZ to 81.
Carroll Hit Snag
While still congratulating them
selves on defeating Browns attempt
to shelve it, the bill was reached on
the calendar, and then Browne
handed packet to the advocates of
the measure. He made one point of
order against it on the ground that
Carroll's motion to table the post
ponement motion carried the bill
with it. The point was sustained by
the speaker. Carroll appealed, but
it was useless, and he then withdrew
the appeal. The house is waiting
for the next play.
The house this morning passed the
bill prohibiting Sunday theaters and
sports, also resolution providing
for an investigation of the lumber
trust.

That insurgent crowd captured control
And talked cheap rates if we all paid toll
Backward, flow backward, tide of the day.

Reform and whitewash, protests in vain,
Take them and give my pass again.
Weary and hungry for the pleasures lost
Riding the state without money cost
Weary of boosting for others to reap
Me to the bumpers, or stay home and weep.
Tired of this holler that may not treat
When the campaign reaches glorious heat!

And raise finger to the smiling
Who as Mr. Speaker behind the bar
Has Uncle Joe faded in the art of rule
He's close to the people in this primary school
Over my heart in the years that are flown
No joy like the pass-joy ever has shone.
And just think of those days, ah, how we fought
To keep out the pops who eagerly sought
By ways that were>dark and tri. ks that were vain
To deceive the people with weird refrain -...-a
About reforms for the down trodden
While they gathered in the pie and passes
Will it ever be thus on the westerng plain
Where the cry of the outs comes again and again?
Where our strenuous life and desire for change
Gives the emergency clause unlimited range.
Will again boldly board the cars
With our delegation bound for the wars
At party convention of our loved state
There to Loyalty name the chosen slate?
Or is it weird uncanny dream,
Which to be hated needs but be seen?
Can nobody ride free on the yellow cars?

Should lives of great men have contingent pie
While we sit the fence to watch 'em ride by?

Raising at Pierre

Pierre, Feb. 1S.-The river situa-
tion here looks serious for the bridge
company, with a heavy loss confront
ing it unless colder weather comes at
once. The ice in the east channel
below the bridge broke loose and ran
out and the stream is rising rapidly.
Every effort is being made to get the
piers in the stream ready to stand a
rush of ice, and part of the steel
work which was put in is being taken
out again as rapidly as possible to
save any chance of loss by it going
down with rush of ice.

gineer, killed.

recover.
Two Miller real estate men, James
Bard and Charles Corcoran, boarded
the way freight MondayAafternoon
to go to Pierre. The train was run
ming behind time, in charge of Con-
duotor Rafferty, and crew. Sitting
in the caboose with other men, when
about seven miles west of Blunt and
running at moderate speed they felt
terrific jar that piled up every
body. Mr. Corcoran lit on the stove
and Mr. Bard on top of him. Neither
were injured. No sooner were they
righted than another jar landed
them in the corner with positions
reversed. Then succeeding jars
brought the train to a standstill.
AS soon as they could get out and
make their way to the head of the
train they discovered the cause IN a
broken bridge over Medicine creek,
where the engine and five cars were
piled up in the water, with a large
refrigerator car partly suspended
over the gap.
Three Men in Engine
The engine had gone nearly over
the bridge before the break came.
1t contained Engineer Frank Booth,
an old and experienced man, his fire
man McNabb, a student fireman
making his first trip, and front
brakeman, Van Horn.
The brakeman was quickest to act.
He says that he felt the engine set
Ting on the bridge, and he made
forward plunge out of the cab
window. He soused into the deep
running water, but soon swan to
shore.
The fireman went down with the
wreck between engine and boiler
where escaping steam scalded him
badly. He managed to get out in
some way, hardly conscious of how
he did it, and fioated down stream in
the whirling water. He also was
swimmer and made the shore,
afterwards walking a mile and a
half to Canning, where medical aid
was secured. He was badly scalded
about the legs, but the doctor says
he will come out all right.
The Engineer Missing
Then began an anxious search of
all night long for the missing en-
gineer Train men and passengers
put in the night about the train and
along the banks of the stream. The
missing man was not found until
after daylight next morning, when
help came. His body was found in
several feet of water, almost upright
close to his engine. He had a cut
and blood on his face, but it was not
known whether he had met death
from wound or by drowning, pro-
badly both. His watch had stopped
at 9:43 P. M. which must have been
the exact time of the wreck. A
special took his remains to Huron
Tuesday evyning.
Flag Another Train in Time
The natural forethought and pre-
cautions of trainmen under trying
conditions was manifested by Con-
ductor Rafferty, in sending flag
back for big double-header freight
following him a few miles back,
which saved more wreck.
The cars that went into the creek
were loaded with lumber and ties
and one car contained load of keg
and case beer from the Gund brewery
1t was bursted open, and some of
its contents fioated down the creek.

Highest Ever

Oacoma, Feb. 1S.-The White riv-
er is reported to be higher than it
has ever been known to be in the
memory of the white man. Re-
ports from up the river state that
Henry Juelfs lost 3S head of fine cat
tie that were penned up in his yard
and the raise of the water was SO
rapid that it was not possible to save
them. Jacob Harmon, an old settler
lost all of his stock but one team and
a wagon he was driving. All of his
personal property was swept away
by the angry flood. His house is
flooded to the ceiling. 1t is feared
that there will be some loss of life
as the rise was so rapid that people
living on the bottom lands could
hardly have had time to escape.
Every indication points to speedy
breaking up of the Missouri river as
the heavy SHOWS thawing have raised
the thick ice and a slight wind would
break it loose. The ice is heavier
than usual and it is believed that the
railroad brige will be entirely swept
away by the resistless floods when
the run begins. The pontoon bridge
being removed, there is at present
no way of crossing aside from the

Dynamite Ice Jam

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 16. The citi-
zens at Fort Pierre are yet using
dynamite in an attempt to break the
ice jam at the mouth of Bad river,
which is growing heavier in spite of
their efforts to break it.
There is no particular danger just
at present, but the whole channel of
the river is packed with ice for a long
distance back from the mouth, and a
rise from melting snow would throw
all the water out of the channel into
the town, and the situation has an
element of danger with the present
warm weather continuing.
