Brud Nelson, of the Nelson Ridge
country, was arrested here Monday on
a charge of breach of the peace and it
cost him just fifteen plunks to square
with Judge Hancock's court. Nelson
was in town early and rode to the Jail
hitching his horse upon the sidewalk.
MIR. Tarter's daughter asked him to re-
move the animal and then it was that
he let out string of oaths which cost
him to part with his hard earned
shekels.

Causing Great Damage.
An epidemic among the horses
around Lebanon is worrying the own.

may lose all OF their animals, Hun
drsds Of horses have died within a few
weeks, one nan losing 200 out OF 300

.Skaown about the disease.
When a horse Ia attacked by the dis
aase he loses the use OF his legs. and
without being able to stand he eats
and drinks we'll and seemingly is IN
good health in every way except as to
the use OF his extremities. The horse
will last from three days to a week,
eating and drinking right up to the
Gfme of death. Post-mortem examina'
tons have been held on a number OF
che dead horses. and In each case all
the organs nave been In a healthy con-

INDIAN AGENT WANTED.
Position Of Agent at Cheyenns River
Has Few Applicants-Reds
Want to Move.

The position Of agent at Cheyenne
r,ver Indian reservation appears to
be going begging. Major Downs, an
army officer has been In charge for
more than a year, and the selection
of a civil agent has been delayed on
account Of numerous matters which
ware pending. The only open applt.
cant appears to be c. W Rastall, the
present clerk at the agency, who has
lad many years actual experience in
the Indian service, and who has a
petition signed by a majority OF the
male adult Indians on the reservation
for the place.
For a number OF years there has
been an Indian camp several miles
40 Bad river. where a group of reds
under the leadership OF Prairis
Chicken took their sllotments. Thess
rodians, now that white settlement Is
crowding In on them desire to II
render their allotments and take new
cues north OF Cheyenne river among
the many Indians who have taken al
iotments in that reservation. They
have made application to the agent
for such a change. and It will likely
be granted to them.

FUGITIVE IS BAD MAN.
I'd Davis, Escaped Convict. 10 Muir
derer and .Rustisr."

Ed Davis, the man who escaped
from the penitentiary at Sioux Falls,
was sentenced from Fort Pierre about
ZEN years agoso on a charge-of murder,
being given a life sentence. Davis
came to Fort Pierre with a bunch or
horses and disposed of part OF them,
starting a 5 with the rest. selling
hem along the road.
While at Fort Pierre. Davis talked
100 much. and after he left there some
,f his talk al repeated, resulting in
his arrest at Miller. He was brought
pack TO. Fort Pierre. and after a little
Investigation II vas learned that
Davis left Rapid City as an employs
OF Nels Carlson, a Wyoming man,
driving a bunch OF horses. and that
the horses Da Wis was selling we're the
property of Carlson.
Davis at irst denied any knowledge
Of Carlson, but afterward admitted
the fact OF his leaving Rapid City
with the owner OF the horses. and
:laimed that he killed Carlson in self
defense, in ? fight. and took the
horses. He told where he had buried
the body OF Carlson, aud d searching
party found the remains at the spot
ne named. The only wound on the
body was that OF a bullet which en-
tered the back OF the head, and the
self-defense theory did not look good.
Davis then admitted the killing, and
vas given a life sentence. About a
year ago he applied to the state board
Of pardons for Communication OF sen

~plication has never been acted upon.

NEW RANGE LAW VOID AS OLD.
Attorney General Calls Both Statutes
Unconstitutional.

Since his return from his Califor'
atan trip, Attorney General Clark has
been busily engaged in clearing up
work Of his department and among
other opinions which he has given ara
several which are OF general public
interest.
Attorney General Clark holds that
the law OF last winter which attempts
90 continue the free range until wiped
out by a vote Of the people of a coun
Ey is nstitutiondl, as well a was
the old law. In a recent case before
che supreme court on that question
N attempt was made to raise cor.
stitutionality, but the court lodged the
issue, as Il was not necessary to de-
eide that point to pass upon the case
ut issue.
The question OF license money Is
one which IL agitating a number OF
the smaller towns under the provision
Of the law OF last winter, which limits
saloons In towns with less than a
thousand population. That law limits
one saloon to each 800 population, but
allows two saloons in a town OF any
size. The question as to the number
Of saloons allowable In such a town is
the one at issue, and In this the at
Gorney general holds that three Is the
limit, one for each 800. This would
give a town with 900 population three
saloons. but II 1t could scare OF ten
more of population they could license
any number they desired.
The attorney general holds that IN.
der the sidewalk law of the state the
charge for such improvements is to
be against the adjoining property, -
which properly would make it a
charge against the property owner. in.
stead Of the general public.

TELLS ALL ABOUT scALPiNG.
Exhaustive Treatise on Psstir,es Of
North American A~boriqines.


North American Aoorigines.
- A very learned German, DR.. George
Friederici, has written a monumental
treatise on scalpins. Not the scalp.
ing that is done by ticket brokers, but
the amusing pastime Of our North
American a~borigines. After an ex'
cessively careful study of sources or
information DR., Friederici presents TO
the world all that is TO be known on
the subject.
He shows how the practice was
first confined to very limited areas
and how In time it spread to all parts
Of the continent. He gave some study
to kindred practices tsuch, for in.
stance, as the extraction OF human
teeth for necklaces).
He even retails some unpleasant
facts about our reyered Pilgrim fsta
ers ana other white folk VINO helped
along the good cause Of civilization
by offering generous bounties for hui
man scalps. All in all. it is q very
~hair-raising narrative.
OF course the book Is the fruition
of years of labor. II Is complete and,
in its way. a masterpiece. Humanity
knows so much already that the
savant must indeed look into out-o.-
the-way channels OF research for any.
thing at all new.
This achievement Of Dr.. Friederici's
deserves TO stand with those great
works OF the learned men in Owen
Wister's little book, such as Pecan
Nuts, the Fuel OF the Future" Nos
talgia in the Lobster" and The Uses
Of Mustard plasters Among the An
cient Egyptians" Each adds equally
TO the benefit of the world and the bet
terment Of humanity. - Cleveland
