Uncle Sam considerate.

Because James Colgan of Oelrichs,
S. D., showed conclusively that he on
several occasions had been compelled
to leave his claim and go elsewhere in
search of health, leaving only his wife
in charge, the interior department at
Washington has decided that his prov
ing up was entirely legal. The home
stead proof had been contested before
the local land office by others who
sought to have it cancelled. The g
lister and receiver of the United States
land office at Rapid City decided in
Colgan's favor, but the commissioner
of the general land Office reversed this
and is now overruled.

NEGRO USES REVOLVER.
Wounds Men Who Interfere When He
is Beating Woman.

Is Beating Woman.
Because they interfered when he
was cruelty beating the woman with
whom he lives. Ed Wallace, a colored
bad man, shot and perhaps mortally
wounded John and Frank Graves,
brothers, and members of an old time
colored family at Rapid City. Wallace
was at once taken by officers and Sc.
curely locked up to prevent possible
violence if the Graves boys die.
According to eye witnesses. the
shooting was ~unprovoked. Half a doZ.
en- colored men and women gathered at
the home of friends, and when saying
good night Wallace quarreled with
Coda Devoe, with whom he was living,
and struck her. The Graves boys rush,
ed to the woman's aid, when Wallace's
revolver cracked twice and both men
fell.
Wallace has a bad record, having
recently been run out of Deadwood
with a companion. He is a gun man.
and dope fiend. The Graves boys, with
their six brothers and one sister. went
to Rapid City in 1886 from Nebraska
as a travelling brass band, and located
there. Both men are foot racers.

is FATAL.
Drug Clerk Who Was Shot on HAL
lowe'en Died i'm Hospital.

H. r. Bradfield, the drug clerk, aged
35, who was shot at Trent Halloween
night, and who was taken to Sioux
Falls and placed in a hospital, died
Saturday morning. His death was
caused by a 3S-caliber bullet, which
punctured his intestines twenty-three
times.
Henry H~endrickson, a prominent
grain buyer of Trent, who is charged
with having shot Bradfield, and who
Immediately following the shooting
was arrested on the charge of shooting
with intent to kill, he having furnished
bonds in the sun of $1,000 on this
charge, now will be arrested on the
charge of murder.
The excitement at Trent caused by
the shooting has not yet abated, and
there are fears in some quarters that
friends OF the dead man may attempt
to harm Hendrickson should the OBJ
portunity offer.
So far as can be learned Bradfield
made no ante-mortem statement. The
dead mar is survived by a widow and
several children. The man accused of
causing his death is a large grain ope-
rator, well known in social and pcIiti
cal life, and is reputed to be wealthy.
1t is alleged that there was an enmity
between the two men because of the
liquor question at Trent, and that Brad
field had made threats against Hen
Erickson. Should this prove to be the
case the defense doubtless will be that
Hendrickson was in fear of his own
life when he fired at Bradfield.

Farmer Harnesses Creek.

Joseph Dworack of Scotland IS one
OF the most ingenius farmers in the
state. His farm is on a creek which
has a good volume of water, and he de.
cided to make use of the power the
stream afforded.
He accordingly built al understood
wheel that will develop ten-horsepow.
er. The wheel is used to operate a
corr grinder, circular saw and cream
separator. The power is more than
ample for this purpose, and it is the in.
tention of Dworack to procure a dyna.
mo and install an electric light plant.

PLAN WELL WATER POWER.
BY Tapping Earth on High Land

q ~ oiSQStk v NIly.
A unique proposition for further de-
velopment of the power to be obtained
from artesian wells is projected for
Pierre. Up to the present all the pow
er secured has been through the use
of the gas which comes with the water.
and no attempt has been made to Sc
cure power from the water itself. The
plan proposed is to sink wells on the
high lane north Of the city which lies
several hundred feet above the river:
to turn the streams down the %ravines
after the gas is taken out, and to use
the flow of water to generate power in
addition to the gas power secured. Up
to the present the wells sunk there
have all been lear the river, and there
has MOI been enough fall to the waste
to generate power.
