complaints have come from various

often asked as to why fruit from GER

ton is easily answered by stating
that the other states are excelling in
producing perfect fruit. AS soon as
the fruit from a given locality is

What came near being one of the
tragedies of the homestead settlement
occurred about twenty-five miles up
Bad river from Pierre last week. Scott
Smith, one Of the young men holding
a claim, was attacked with rheuma-
tism while on his claim, and was un-
able to leave his bed. He was without
food for thirty-six hours when his con.
dition was discovered, and all that
time was suffering intensely from the
disease. When his condition was
learned, friends at Pierre sent out a
carriage to bring him to the hospital,
but it was found that he could not be
moved at present, and he will be
cared for at his claim until he recov-
ers sufficiently to bring him to the
city.

RANGE LAW CAN'T BE APPLIED.
Supreme Court Exempts Lyman and
Other Counties.

Supreme Court Exempts Lyman and
Other Counties.
Under the decision of the supreme
court, the stock interests evidently
stole a march on the homesteaders in
the last legislative session, when they
proposed a compromise measure be-
tween the wiping out of the range, and
the continuance of it. The compro-
mise requires the question to be SUBJ
mitted to the voters of the different
counties, the free range to be cut out
on vote to that effect. If the home
steaders had 'stood pat" they might
have been defeated on their law to
wipe out the free range; but now un-
der the court decision, they would be
in control. The stock interests were
advised by their attorneys that their
case was not favorable one for them
and they got the compromise.
The opinion of the court was based
on a provision of the statute which
was not raised by the attorney in the
case. They brought up the case on
constitutional grounds and on the
validity OF a discriminatory statute,
which did not apply with equal force
to the whole state. The holding of the
court is that the old free range law
could not apply to Lyman county, as
it was specifically mentioned in any
of the statutes relating to range. The
attempt to cover Lyman, Stanley and
portions Of Meade and Pennington
counties was to amend the existing
law to cover territory in unorganized
counties generally, and in all counties
organized after 1883. The court holds
on this that so long as Lyman county
was not specifically named, the law
cannot be made to apply to that coun-
ty. The same provision should apply
with equal force to other counties not
specifically named.
Stockmen say the homesteaders are
keeping their stock on the run by the
aid IT dogs and are cutting all the
profit from them, and while the law is
in favor of the stockmen, the facts as
they actually exist are against them.
In Lyman county petitions are being
circulated to try vote under the pro-
visions Of the new law. Regardless
of legislation or no legislation on the
subject, the country will have to
change in time from range stock to
the dairy COW and farmer.

The Indian council which has been
in session at the Cheyenne River
agency for the last week has adjourn
ed. In the discussion of matters of
general interest to the Indians their
principal action was to vote for the
lease to the Ute Indians, and to pro-
vide for an extension Of the lease Of
the cattle trail to the Milwaukee road,
which the road expects to use for part
of this summer. They also arranged
for an elaborate Fourth of July cele-
bration on Virgin creek, about twenty

bloom, for which reason 1t is called
Leneopsis. AS the cottony grass
scale passes the winter in the egg
state upon old grass close to the
ground, and does not attack many
kinds Of grasses and, as far as we
know, no other kinds Of plants, the
remedy is a simple one, and consists
of burning over the meadows and
pastures late in autumn, or before
growth begins in spring. If this is in
convenient, close feeding in late sum
mer or early spring would probably
answer the same purpose.
