At WAR OVER HERD Law.
Opposing Factions in Lyman County
- In Actiye CalnHaiEn.

in Active
While the Lyman county home
steaders are pushing along their petit
tons to the county commissioners for
q special election to decide the herd
question in that county, those opposed
to a herd law are out with q remon-
STRANGE, against the commissioners
taking any sue action. and 1t is
claimed is securing some OF the
names on the original petition. AS
the petition must contain enough
names to make a majority OF the
votes cast for governor at the last
preceding election, it will not be very
hard to get enough names in that
county now on both the petition n
remonstrance to fill the requirements.
as there has been a heavy increase In
population in that county since the
time Of the last election. IT two such
lists come TO the commissioners they
will probably consider the one which
most personally agrees with their
views, and put it up to the e who
are turned down to take action in
court to force their petition forward,
leaving the field open for a long legal
tangle before the question is finally
disposed of. @

PASSING OF COWBOY JAKE"
Disappears from Planklnton After q
picturesque Career.

| Disappears from PlanlSinton After u
Picturesque Career.
Plankinton's only real live COWBOY,
Jake Davis, has disappeared from thal
community as suddenly as ne came
and all trace Of him has peen s"ai-
lowed up. Davis is said to nave ue-
serted a wife and family or chl,o-
dren in Nebraska at the time Nc
| came to Plankinton several years ago.
When Cowboy Jake" the only name
he was known by, first came to South
Dakota his only earthly possessions
consisted of a few running horses ana
a young, l~ight-hearted woman, whom
he called isis" For a year or w
all, went well, but isis" finally tired
Of busting bronchos"-the life was
too slow--and for a time she led Jake
many a swift chase to Sioux CITY,
Chamberlain and other places, where
his untaraed dow had flown. Finally
she disappeared altogether M DAVIS
planted an lad" in a atrlmonl
journal COR a new "housekeeper." In
due course Of time a widow With
one child appeared and took up her
abode at the Davi ranch, but all was
not bliss, and after securing a d.
vorce from sis" Jake refused to
marry the new found companion.
About a year later a committee Of
citizens waited upon Davis and con-
vinced him that the proper and most
healthy thing for him to do would DO
to marry the widow. He took the
committee at it's word and about two
weeks Thereafter q son n heir was
born. The new arrival did not, how
ever, bring peace to the household,
and some two weeks ago Jake pleaded
guilty to assault in justice court, the
complaining witness being the wife.
The cowboy had by this time
possession of a large herd Of cattle
and horses, all of which he quietly
disposed of and decamped. The
aforesaid widow is left holding the
sack with two youngsters to support.
The county officials nave been asked
to provide.

unusual ebb. the London and Paris
money markets having been exercising
severe determinations against Ameri-

This policy was prompted by the recol-

foreign money markets last fall by
heavy borrowings attributed by for

In America, and which forced gold
shipments to New York at the time OF
the autumnal strain In London and

War With Utes.
Long Rock, one of the prominent
Sioux Indians, who was asked to go
to Thunder Butte and confer with
the Utes, was in Pierre Thursday,
having just come from the Ute camps.
He say there is not the slightest prob
ability of danger from the Utes. They
tell him their hearts are good, and
they do not want any trouble with the
white men. That the reason they re-
fused to go to work. was that they did
not have shoes n o%veralls, n 9TH
err clothing such as they should have
to do the kind of work the agent
wanted them to do. And when they
declined to go to work he got scared
and called for the soldiers to come.
He does not believe that there will be
any clash, and that the call for sol
diers was entirely unnecessary.

The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-10-29

Criticism of courts, of public men,
and of legislatures is becoming every
year more searching, more cynical,
while the people more and more feel
that under the forms of popular self
government political equality has be-
come the sport of bosses and econo-
mic equality the jest of a voracious
plutocracy. AS a result radicalism is
sweeping across the country, over all
sections and with an utter needless
ness of traditional party diversions
and party catch-words. All of which
implies that we are losing something
of our old-time ~unreasoning, but in
MIGRATING optimism.
Undoubtedly there is much truth in
this survey of the situation, but it is
far from being the whole truth. Dis
enlargement is certainly felt in many
| willing to admit to ourselves, but it
is not despair. There has been a rath.
er rude awakening of late years, one
might say a disillusionment, and the
people are stirred by tae sight of mi
quities before u1dreamed of. Unrest
under such conditions is a thing in.
evitable, but wholesome and salutary.
1t is the sign of a splendid strength
and health of heart.
Our people feel that many of our
worst evils need not and must not be,
hence are more radical than they
olce we're. Radicalism is rootedness
going down to the roots from which
evils spring and flourish. 1t is impa-
tient with plasters and ~palliatives
and asks that the cause be removed.
Our national faith is less fatalistic,
less unreasoning and more open-eyed
than of yore. To a thinking man this
is ground for congratulation, not for
pessimism. 1t gives hope that this
virile and mighty people will steer
clear of those old, hidden rocks on
