"RUsTlER'S" FiANcEE FAILS.
Girl Who Would Wed Convict Pleads
in Vain,


Miss Mamie Hall Of Atkinson, Neb.,
left Pierre last week for her Nebraska
home, disappointed IN the hope that
she soon would be able to wed the
mar Of her choice, Roscoe Moore. Her
hope vas shattered by the refusal of
the state pardon board to do any
thing toward shortening the sentence
which Moore is serving in the state
~penitentiary on a larceny charge.
1t appears that Moore is a Texan,
who drifted into the North country,
landing at Atkinson. where he stayed
for a time. and won the affections Of
Miss Hall. resulting in their engage
ment. But before the marriage bells
could ring, Moore went to Butte coun-
ty, where he was arrested and o
victed OF "rustling" cattle. and the
court in November, 1904. sen him to
Sioux Falls for a term Of three and a
half years. OF that time he has served
two and a half years, with Tess than
another year to run in case he is
granted any good time.
During this time his Atkinson sweet
heart has stood by him, and n OF the
reasons given for asking his pardon
was their desire to wed and settle
down. But the pardon board was not
satisfied that this was sufficient reason
for clemency. and has refused to take
any action in the case.

HUNTERS AND FARMERS.

Latter Secure Law Protecting Quail
Former Seek 70 Xii! Il.
Through the state there has been
more or less discussion as to just
why the quail protection law is to be
submitted to the voters through the
provisions OF the referendum. A lit
tie Investigation into the matter
shows that it is a move on the part OF
hunters Of the state, because they look
upon the quail protection bill as .
move Of the farmers. The hunters
drafted the kind Of a game bill they
wanted and introduced it at the last
session, but the farmers could not
look upon the situation In the same
way the hunters did, and refused to &C
cept their bill in any way whatever.
They then passed the quail protection
bill, and the hunters are now out to
show the farmers" for interfering
with their bill. and their way OF doing
1t is to go after the bill they think the
farmers of the state did want.

THIRD OF FUND RAISED.
Capitol Building and ale Make
5000. 900 Available.

With the close of the spring auction
sales Of the capitol building lands
there Is now available in that fund
5000. 900. The sales in Edmund and
Mcpherson counties amounted to $500
acres. at an average of a little below
$40 an acre. making the receipts prac-
tically $25 900 for the week. which.
added to the sales OF $40 900 for the
previous week. brings the total availa-
BILE fund to $20O. 900. This, with the
amount which has already been ex-
pended in the work, can that more
than one-third Of the sum already has
been raised from sales Of lands. The
chances are that practically all the
cash required will be secured IN that
way without drawing upon the state
for the general appropriation which
was made available in case Of need.
1t will be a year'and a half before mat
fund is available and plenty OF oppor-
tunities to dispose Of lands before
that time.

WALKS 100 MILES FOR CLAIM.
Girl Carries Food and Sleeps Outdoor
On Journey.


Probably as plucky a young woman
as ever sought to take up a homestead
claim has arrived at Seim after a
journey which many a man would
have hesitated to undertake.
Attracted by the offer of free homes
in Butte county, many people are
rushing to this section. some Of them
arriving on horseback. others in wag-
ons and many Of them on foot. A
party Of twenty, including Anna Nord-
strom, a young Norwegian girl. start
ed from Cashmere, the end OF the
railroad line. to walk to Seim, nearly
100 miles. The trail took them across
rivers and over buttes. Their route
lay through the reservation. where the
only food they could obtain was such
as they could carry with them, and
their only shelter was the blue sky.
Several of the party were com.
PEELED to give up before the journey
was completed, but Miss Nordstrom,
though only a fran looking girl, stuck
pluckily to her task, and with eight
others OF the party succeeded in
reaching Seim this week.
So much admiration did the girls
pluck arouse at Seim that a fine quar-.
ter section has been selected for her
on which a shack has been built and
everything made ready for her en-
trance upon the life Of a homesteader.
The United States commissioner has
offered to throw off his fees for her
filings and ~ Of the newspapers has
offered to print free OF charge her
final proofs, when the time comes to
make them.
Miss Nordstrom already has receiy-
ed a dozen flattering offers of mar
riage. but she has refused them all,
declaring that she intends to have a
farm for herself before she thinks OF
.hatrimony.
