Who Cut Indians Tim
Der Are Given Maximum Fine.

Der Are 6tven Maximum Fine.
William Brooks and George Kelley,
homesteaders, residing in Western
South Dakota, appeared before Judge
Garland of the United States court in
Sioux Falls and pleaded guilty to an
information charging them with hav-
ing cut and hauled timber from an
Indian allotment. Owing to extenuat-
Ing circumstances surrounding the
case, Judge Garland imposed the mini
mum fine Of $25 upon each Of the de-
PENDANTS, which they paid, and the
case against them was dismissed.
The two men who recently had ar
rived in South Dakota from iowa
made homestead entry on land near
Philip in the western part of Stanley
county, near the boundary line Of the
Cheyenne Indian reservation. Not re-
allzing that they were violating the
federal statutes, they went short
distance into the reservation to land
which had been allotted to individual
Indians, and cut timber with which
to construct their claim ''shanties."
A government official who has SUI
pervision Of that part of the reserva-
ton appeared upon the scene and
made the two surprised homesteaders
unload the timber from their wagon.
Complaint then was made to the fed
eral authorities Of South Dakota, and
the arrest of the two homesfeaders
followed.

lucky Filters.
A number of homesteaders In Inc
western part Of this state, and as
well in other homestead sections of
the United States will watch with in
terest the bill introduced at the open
ing Of the session by Senator Kilt
redge.
The bill in question allows a set
tier second homestead under GER
tain conditions, where the party did.
not complete title to his first filing.
In the past, under congressional enact
ment, settlers who could not secure
water on their locations, or who could
show good cause for other reasons
were allowed, and to make new filings
on tracts more satisfactory to them,
the general land Office ruling that
they had such privilege under the ex-
listing statutes. Since the general agi-
tation over the country in regard to
the management of the public lands,
the general land Office rules that such
settlers have no rights upon the tracts
which they have Hled.
In many cases extensive improve
ment have been made upon just such
filings.
In Stanley county one claimant has
placed more than $1,000 worth of i'm
provement upon his tract. and In an
other homesteader with large
family has staked his all on such a
claim. These are only two incidents,
and probably every township west of
the river would show one or two such
cases. Several Of the parties SO in
terested asked Hon. G. H. Burke for
his assistance in their behalf, and he
has interested Senator Kittredge In
their cases, resulting in the introduc-
ton of bill, which will give them
relief at the earliest possible oppor-
tunity.

KEEPS AFTER HERD BAR.
Farmers Again Will Petition Board
That Rejected Demand.

The county commissioners of Lyman
county, all of whom are said to he in
terested with stockmen, at late meet
ing turned down the petition for an
election under the herd law of last
winter, declaring it to be insufficient
after striking off l76 names, which
cut it to 80 below the required major
ity Of the votes cast for governor at
the last general election.
The herd law people presented their
petition as soon as they had major
ity, but the~commissioners ruled that
the names appearing upon the petition
must be names on the poll lists, and
new residents whose names had not
yet been placed upon the poll lists
were cut off. BY this action the num-
Der was barely reduced below the re-
CURED figure, and no action was
taken. K 81 ~ 455 -
This action on the part Of the COM
missioners only has stirred the herd
law people to greater determination
to get vote before the next croD year
