DREAM REVEALS LOST WEALTH.
Remarkable Case Comes to LIGHT at
Aberdeen.

NpeVOcCn.
A remarkable case Of a dream re-
vealing the whereabouts of lost wealth
came to light in Aberdeen when
Charles Cassie visited a local bank
with a bunch OF soiled savings bank
certificates and told the story Of how
he had recovered s1,055 he lost about
three months ago.
Cassie is a Scot and industrious.
For a long time he had been saving
up his money with the object Of taking
a trip to Scotland. Last August he
went to work digging trenches for a
local firm of contractors engaged in
installing a storm sewer. One day he
missed his pocketbook containing the
bank certificates and $40 in currency.
He reported the matter to the police
and an investigation was conducted
but without success. Cassie went to
bed tired out and dreamed Of his loss.
Later he wandered in the spiritland to
a point OF the Milwaukee freight
house, where he dreamed he found his
pocketbook.
In the morning he recalled every de-
tail of the dream and proceeded to in.
v~estigate. He wen to the spot he
visited In his dream and began kick
ing away the dirt In one of the
trenches. In q few minutes he kicked
his pocketbook and, opening it, found
the contents intact. He left at once
for Scotland. where he will winter.

THROUGH TO
Another Rumor That Chicago Trains
Will Have Through Schedule.

Rumor to the effect that the Mil
waukee railroad is making plans to
run it's trains from Chicago straight
through to Deadwood is again current
and is on the authority of a Deadwood
railroad man who is considered relia-
BILE. 1t is said that the Milwaukee is
planning to utilize the Crouch rail-
road, which runs between Rapid City
and Mystic, to get into the latter
point, which is on the line of the Bur-
lington railroad and from there use
the tracks Of the Burlington to Dead
wood, until such time as its own line
is completed. The Crouch line will
have to undergo considerable repair
ing and strengthening before such a
nov can be made, but it is known
that the Milwaukee has long tried to
reach Deadwood and the Northern
Hills by some route.

State News of Interest
NERD LAW MEN HOT.
Worry Warm Meeting 10 Held At
Presho.

Nery Warm Meeting 10 Held At
Presho.
The homesteaders Of Lyman county,
who attempted to secure a vote on the
herd law proposition In that county
through petition to the board Of coun-
ty commissioners for an election un-
der the law, and who found them
selves blocked by the action Of the
board in cutting enough names of
their petition to get 1t below the re-
CURED majority, on the ground that
the names stricken off did not appear
on the poll lists of the county, are now
on the warpath in earnest. Under he
| provisions of the law they cannot now
ct a vote before the general election
of next year, and that means another
all summer row between the farmers
and stockmen.
While they were barred from any
further direct action, over 800 Of the
homesteaders met at Presho and after
a warm discussion Of the situation
demanded the resignation Of the n
tire board. Some Of those present at
the meeting wanted a petition In
boots" on hand at the January meet
Ing of the board to see that the resig-
nations were handed in. They finally
adopted resolutions and appointed
committees to circulate petitions all
over the country, demanding the res
i%gnations. The resolutions read:
I'VE, the citizens and taxpayers of
Lyman county, assembled by a call of
the Herd Law association, feeling
keenly the insult put upon us by the
board of county commissioners in re-
jecting the petition presented at the
special session of the board, held Nov.
20 to "a inclusive, and in rejecting the
names of over 100 men who are legal
voters in this county, especially in re-
jecting the names OF men whose ati-
dayits were attached, and
Whereas, 1t has been the custom of
the board to disregard the wishes Of
the people on every occasion possible
and to trample rough-shod over every
right of the citizens Of the county;
Resolved, That We, ove three hun
dred men, representing every part of
Lyman county, do hereby demand that
every member of the board Of county
commissioners shall Immediately re
sign their office, and not wait for the
petition to be presented to the audi
tor asking for their resignation, which
Is now being circulated, and will be
presented before the next meeting of
the board, which is to be held Jan. 2,
1908"
The commissioners were accused by
the same meeting of being under the
domination of n man "who is practi-
cally the board, and who dictates their
action on all matters which come be-
fore them" The situation promises
to be one of warm language on the
prairies Of Lyman county before it is
over. if nothing more serious is called
out by the strained relations between
the farmers II stockmen.

mating Disreputable Places.

That the brewery interests are
awakening to the fact that more or
less danger menaces them as a result
Of the wave Of prohibition which ap-
pears to be sweeping over some parts
Of the country. IS evidenced in the re-
ceipt Of a letter by the Aberdeen gen
eral agent Of n of the largest brew
cry in the country, which
calls upon the agent for an exhaustive
report of conditions in this section of
the country, with especial reference
to the disreputable saloons. A portion
of the letter reads as follows:
I'VE are determined to suppress, as
far as we can, every saloon that must
be regarded as a menace to peace and
good morals, and in carrying out this
plan we cannot accept as true or final
every complaint, private or official;
but in every instance we must finally
act upon our own responsibility. This
we are prepared to do, and We call
upon you to aid US. We do not expect
to be openly antagonized, but we
would like to know to what extent we
are going to be supported. In our
judgment the situation is not to be be-
Titled; and the demands Upon our
business at this time are not greater
than those which public impatience
has imposed upon other lines of BUSH
ness. The public mind is keen. and it
would be a mistake to permit this
time to pass without doing what we
can t bring all OF our interests to
proper standard. Kindly give us,
therefore, as promptly as you can, an
exhaustive report, and remember that
formation upon which we propose to
act, and by which We shall ultimately
be Judged"

John Ballheim, a Stanley county
rancher, was seriously injured as the

gagged in breaking a team of wild
horses, which had been hitched up to
a wagon. The bronchos got beyond
control Of the driver and started t 0
run. Ballheim was in charge of the
brake on the wagon and bore down
so hard upon 1t in the effort to bring
the running horses to a standstill that
the reach broke and stuck into the
ground, sending Ballheim up into the
air.
He was thrown to quite a height
and struck the ground with considera-
bic force, seriously injuring him, as
stated. His companions remained in
the wagon but were not able to on
troll the. wild bronchos until they had
run a great distance and the hind
wheels of the wagon had been wreck
ed, permitting the back of the wagon
to drag on the ground.

Before another spring has passed

declaration Of Capt. II. s. Hutchins,
made at a special meeting Of the city
council at Rapid City, held for the pur-
pose Of permitting the citizens to dis
cuss their opinions on the close prox-
unity of the redskins which has set
some nervous people to thinking that
the troublelnakers were altogether too
close for peace OF mind. Capt. Hutch
ms, who is a special Indian agent there
from Washington to e that the Utes
are held within bounds, assured the
public at large that the government
was prepared to take every precau-
ton to prevent any disastrous results
and that II the citizens would refrain
from breaking the federal law against
furnishing whiskey to Indians, all
would be we'll. The council took the
same view Of the situation, and as the
Indians are employed on the Crouch
railroad there, and will be all winter.
there is little fear Of a repetition Of
any of their disturbances.
