Muskogee, I. T., July 22.--"This box
contains flfty quarts of wine Tor sacra-
mental purposes. It is introduced into
Indian TeFvitory by special permission
of the war department. Anyone who
interferes with 1t will be prosecuted. :"
That is tte proposition the officers
ran up against at McAlester. The wine
was consigned to the Rev. Peter Lay
man at Anderson. The wine was con-
fiscated by w. e. Johnson and has been
stored In the vaults of the marshals s
Office at McAlester. Johnson wired the
department Of the interior to ask what
should be done with the wine. and he
has not yet been advised. It is the first
instance of the kind that has come up
before the authorities. The wine was
shipped from Fort Smith.
The same afternoon the officers found
q large and dilapidated trunk at one OF
the depots that was shipped to Nc
Alester, and was heavy enough to bo
full of liquor. Whisky" Johnson
opened the trunk and TO his sur

TEACHERS IN CONTACT
WITH NEW LAW SOON

Pierre. s. d., July 22.-The law OF the
last session made several radical
changes In the manner OF issuance Of
teachers certificates. The old law pro-
vided for two examinations each year.
pne in the spring. and one In the fall,
after which all papers above the third
grades were sent to the state superin-
tendent's office for marking. For this
work the state superintendent called to-
gether board Of educators from differ
ent parts Of the state to assist. The new
Jaw provides for more numerous exam
nations, and the sending Of all papers
for a certificate Of any grade to the
state superintendent's Office for mark
ing, and the work to be done by per-
manent board which is made part OF
the force of that Office
The first examination under the new
Jaw will be held the 25th and 26th of
July, In any Of the counties of the state
which desire examinations on those
dates, that being before the first reg
alar examination under the new law,
which will be on the 18th and 10th OF
August. In the examinations from this
lime on South Dakota history will be
made a feature to itself.

ELOPES WITH HIS
BROTHERS. WIFE;
ARRESTED; LET GO
Wisconsin Family Tear-Up
Comes to Climax in South
Dakota.

Scotland, S. D., July 2S--This place is
just recovering its customary compos-
ure after an exciting episode in which
a recreant wife, the brother of her hus7,
band. the husband himself and pri-
yate detective, all of whom were from
wisconsin, were the principal actors. ]
A man who gave his name as Higley,
who was accompanied by a woman,
whom he claimed was his wife secured
a room at local hotel, where they rer
manned for day. The mysterious
stranger stated that he and wife had
been In Colorado for the benefit of the
latter's health, but as no Improvement
was noted In her condition there, they
had decided to tarry In South Dakota
for time. ~
They engaged apartments at the
home of ID. w. Chamberlain, one OF the
most prominent citizens of Scotland.
The stranger was engaged in the real
estate business and was required to
make frequent trips to other parts OF
South Dakota, visiting the woman here
occasionally.
Detective Appears on Scene.
The second mysterious stranger, pre-
tended to be horse buyer, but since
has proved to be a private detective in
the employ OF the rightful husband OF
the woman
1t developed that the first stranger
was brother OF the husband of the
woman and that he and his sister-in-
law had eloped, the wife representing
to her husband that she intended visit
ing relatives at another point in Wis
consin. The home of the recreant wife
and her husband has not been revealed,
and the true names OF the parties also
are unknown. When the husband real
ized that his wife had eloped he con-
suited a detective bureau. After a.
chase of more than a 1000 miles the de-
tective located the woman here. But
the man had disappeared. The detec-
tive sent for the husband, who came
with all haste to Scotland and remained
quietly at local hotel, in hope that his
missing brother, the despoiler of his
home. would again put in an appear
ance. sE,.
Brother Arrested and Let Go.
However, the brother seemed to know
something was in the wind for al
though he passed through Scotland aft
er the arrival of his brother, he did not
stop off. but simply exchanged affec-
tionate greetings with the woman, who
in accordance with q previous under
standing was at the depot, and prom
ised to return to her in few days.
Later the detectives learned that the
brother had been notified by telegraph
not to come to Scotland again The
telegram was received by him at High
more, 8. D., and the husband Of the
woman had orders sent to the sheriff
at Highmore to place him under arrest.
The arrest was made, but later orders
were sent to release him.
The husband and wife, doubtless with
the object OF preventing q public scan
dal, had adjusted their difficulties and
left Scotland together, after their af-
fairs had for number of days kept the
people of this unusually quiet pace in
a quiver of excitement.

COWBOY ON HORSE
BEATS TRAIN; SAVES
FARM FOR MAIDEN
The Chiyalrous Act of Reileman
Skate to Win Home for
Miss Bae Mills.

Rapid City, 8. D.. July 20.---No knight
OF old ever served his lady better than
has Relleman Skaife. Of the famous
Skate ranch, served Miss Bae M Mills.
of southern Illinois, total stranger to
him. Riding his horse across the plains
forty-five miles In race against
railroad train he saved for her some
stead upon which she had set her heart
and which another had tried to take
from her.
A less determined young man or a
horse not quite so fleet would have lost
the prize as the competitor for the line
farm arrived by train but five min
utes after the almost exhausted horse
Of the cowboy stumbled with his rider
at the door Of the land office in this
city.
Those who have heard of the Incl
dent are indulging In gossip Of romance
which is proving embarrassing to the
young man and the girl he so gallnntly
served, still they are not resenting II.
Miss Mills came to Washta, forty
five miles east of here, to take up a
claim. She found one much to her
liking and determined to make entry
upon IT. Her purpose became known
and another homeseeker, man, early
at Washta.
Tears Brought Her knight.
The young woman's disappointment
was keen and her tears attracted to
her the sympathetic cowboy, Relleman
Skaife. She told him her story. He
looked at his watch and said simply:
"I'll save II for you. That fellows
filing here is not final he must first
make entry at the Rapid City land of
flce. Give me your papers"
Miss Mills quickly made her pralim-
Snary filing and gave the papers to
Skaife who said he would beat the train
to Rapid City and hand the papers In
ahead of the rival for the land, or kill
his horse In the race. The rival had
not left town yet, but the train was
due. Skate started, and in less than
three hours he had reached his destin-
alton, while the train, which had to go
farther around, came putting In about
neck and neck with Skates plucky
horse.
He wired back to Miss Mills Of his
victory and her delight was expressed
in a valuable and most approving man
ner OF the knight who had won her a
home.
