DEFAULT OF BAIL.
Little Hope of Banker King
Being Released from Sioux
Falls Jail.

Sioux Falls. April 90 Charles c..
| King the Scotland banker arrested in
Chicago several days ago for his con
nection with the failure of the First
National bank, of Scotland, and who
soon after being brought to Sioux Falls
was placed in the county Jail in this
city, has as yet been unable to furnish
a bond and still occupies a cell in the
county Jail.
A strenuous effort was made by his
attorney to have mis- bond reduced from
500, 900, the amount fixed by United
States Commissi oner FOote, of Chicago,
before whom King was taken soon
after his arrest, to the sum Of So, 600,
but this effort did not succeed, How
ever, the amount of the bond has been
reduced to $40, 900, this being deemed a
sati sfactory amount by Judge Garland,
Of the federal court, and United States
Attorney w. G. Forter.
When the effort was made to have
the bond reduced to $1,000, Kings at
torney stated he could not furnish a
bond for a greater amount tnan this,
and therefore it is regarded as extremely
doubtful. if he can furnish bond at
all In the event that he can not, be
will be compelled to remain in the
county Jail until his case is acted upon
by United States grand jury. which
will convene at Pierre on June II, and
if indicted he wonld still be required
to remain in Jail unless he can furnish
a satisfactory bond.
Several of the bond companies are
willing to furnish a bond on condition
that King give them ample security,
but thus far he has been unable to do
this.
Mrs. King, wife of the defendant,
with one Of the children of the couple,
returned to Scotland a few days ago
from Dixon, Ill, where Mr. King took
them several weeks before his arrest.
Mrs. King doubtless wished to be as
near her husband as posi- BILE during his
trouble, and therefore returned to South
Dakota.
King, who for years occupied high
station in life and was accounted one
of the leading fnancieIs of the state,
feels his position very keenly and his
inability thus fa1 to furnish bond
and being placed in Jail apparently has
been hard blow to him.

Highest Court Declares Schedules
Must Be Adjusted.

Washington, April 30.-The supreme
court of the United States has decided
In effect that the railway commission
ers of the state Of North Carolina can
compel a railway company operating
In that state to SO adjust It's schedules
as to accommodate passengers on
other lines from any particular part Of
the state.
The case arose out of an order is
sued by the commission directing the
railway company to make connections
at Selma at 2:25 p. m. with train on
another line running from the eastern
part Of the state with the object of
accommodating passengers whose des:
tination was Raleigh. This, 1t was
contended by the railway company.
amounted to taking property without
due process of law.
The commission justified It's course
on the ground that compliance with
the order was necessary to accommo-
date large part Of the public. Tho
supreme court of North Carolina held
against the railway company and it's
decision was affirmed by the supreme
court.

INDIAN FARMERS.
Reservation Farmers Putting In
Their Crops for the
Season.

IbadWoOd, April D.-Spr1ng on the
Pine Ridge Indian reservation this year
means great activity among its Indian
residents, numbering now about 2, OO0.
Much OF the seasons work is we'll un-
der way, and crops of corn, oats and
potatoes, in addition to the garden
truck will be raised
Major John Brennan, Indian agent
at Pine Ridge, says that there is no
longer any opposition even among the
old Indians to the alloting in severalty
Of the land. Even Red Cloud, the
famous old chief, the patriarch Of his
tribe aud of the reservation, has taken
his allotment and is satisfied with the
results. Chief Red Cloud is now 81
years old. and though he is totally
blind and very deaf, yet he retains his
mental faculties in remarkable man
ner.
The Indians on this reservation will
receive more land than those on other
reservations according to the previous
allotments. An allotment order has
recently peen issued which provides
that all heads of families receive an
entire section of land; the wives re-
ceive half section, the children Of age
quarter section, and those under age
so acres. On Rosebud reservation, for
example, the heads of families receive a
section. but half of that goes to the
wife. When the allotment first wei
into effect in June, 1904, the provisions
of the bill specified that children born
after that date should not participate in
the allotment. This provision has,
however, been nulified by an act of
the last congress. which provided that
as long as there was any land on the
reservation. the children, no matter
when born, shonld participate. This
provision, together with the increased
amount of land given to the indi-
viduals, means that by the time the al
lotments are all made there will be no
land left on Pine Ridge agency to be
thrown open to the whites. The only
way in which they can get such lands
is by purchase when the authorities
permit the lands of dead Indians to be
sold.
