HAS TO SUSPEND ALLOTING WORK
Frozen Ground Holds Up Trip The Family Record
Requirement Also Impedes prosress Of Work. but
Opening Will Likely Occur Next Fall.

Intending settlers who are looking
for an early opening of the govern
ment lands in Trip county on the
Rosebud Indian reservation will have
to wait longer than first was antici-
pated. Such is the information given
out by j. H. Scriyen, the governments
allotting agent, who has been at work
on these lands since last spring. AS
to the progress being made in the
work of allotment. Mr.. Scriven made
the following statement when asked
as to the possibility of an early open
ing of the government lands, it being
understood that the opening was de-
pendent largely upon the time 1t would
take to allot the lands:
I'VE were forced to suspend our field
work last week on account Of where
the ground was burned over last fall
1t has frozen SO deep that we could
not drive stakes or dig pit holes. We
have allotted since beginning the field
work on June 1 700 different applica-
tions, and will have about 900 more
to make in the spring. This winter
the force will be occupied in enrolling
what has been allotted, taking family
records and listing new applications
for next years work. am satisfied
we will be able to get all of this kind
of work done by the time the frost Is
out of the ground, SO we can begin
field work again next spring. The
department requires me to take the
family record or census of each person
that allot, and as this is new de-
parture from the old-time methods,
when. all Z an Indian had to say was
.Allot my child and the allotting agent
did the rest, the Indians were very,
very slow for the first two or three
months in giving In their records.
This made it very inconvenient and
difficult work, as we frequently had to
make drives much too far in order to
reach our days allotting.

so that we easily can do twice as fast
work as we have been able to accom-

Of the ground sufficiently for us to be-
gin field work by April we will be

little details arranged it will not be

Banks Thrive and Show High Aver.
age OF Deposits.
Reports Of the state bank examiner
and the national banks doing business
in South Dakota make good showing
for the last year. The reports cover
the condition Of banks in September,
1906, and August, 1907, practically q
year, and show that in that time the
state banks have increased from 1886
to 387, with heavy increase in depos-
Its. AT the last named date the state
banks showed deposits amounting to
s34, 728,6 28.64, an increase of 1885,
847.62 over the September condition
the previous year.
For the same time the national
banks Of the state had increased from
70 to 49, six new banks having opened
Tor business In the year. These banks
carried $20,229,479.26, an increase of
about $3,0OO,000,000 for the year, maxi
Ing the total net increase In deposits
in the state for the year $9,399. 1872.
and the total bank deposits OF the peo-
pie OF the state at that time $54,958,-
1O7.9O.
While the last census of the state
showed a population of half mill
lon the increase since that time has
probably been sufficient to make bank
showing in round numbers 500 for
every resident Of the state; Of what
ever age.

GETS LIGHT FRANCHISE.

Local Electric Company Secures Grant
From Mitchell.
Mitchell's city council granted new
electric franchise to local company
tor the period Of twenty years. A year
ago G. G. King, who was then the
owner of the Mitchell Gas company,
started movement to renew the fran
.hise at a lower rate. and afight was
made. Later King had trouble with
HIS bank at Scotland, which failed, and
he was sent to the penitentiary. The
new company of Mitchell men, who
expect to buy the property OF the
Mitchell Gas company or erect q new
plant, has offered a large reduction
In rates, the maximum being 10 cents
per thousand watts, which is made
lower still by a larger use Of electricity.
Two gas franchises also have been
placed on their first reading. Both
make lower rate for gas than now is
furnished in this city. The rate Of
one is s1.25 and the other s1.5O per
thousand cubic feet. If both are
passed Mitchell will have three gas
companies.

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

The county commissioners of Lyman
county, all of whom are said to be 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 17e names, which
cut it to 81 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 Doll lists
were cut off. BY this action the num-
Der was barely reduced below the re-
CURED figure, and no action was
taken.
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 crop year,
and they again are securing the coun-
try with petitions. They say that when
they again go to the county commits
sioners 1t will be with petition which
cannot be cut down to g point where
It can be thrown out on technicality.
They DO not propose to have their
crops destroyed by cattle another year

Crouch Line Is Victim Of Murderous
Vandals.
Secret enemies who, in seeking to
hamper the operations of the road,
have already caused two fatal wrecks,
in each Of which one life was lost,
and cost thousands Of dollars In dam
age, is the sensational statement of
one Of the officials of the Missouri &
Northwestern railroad running be-
tween Rapid City and Mystic, made
at the end of lengthy investigation
The operation of these persons who
it is said. are suspected, but still UNI
known, have baff1ed the roads au-
thorities, SO cleverly was the work
done, but expert detectives who now
are on the case, expect to unravel the
mystery.
Certain little peculiarities in the
wrecking of two of the companys
trains during the last few weeks
caused the officials to suspect that
some one was purposely trying to
harm them. Then it is said it was
discovered that the last wreck, caused
by the burning of a bridge, was the
direct result Of the work of an ,ncen-
diary. This was followed few days
later by the burning of a locomotive
left on the tracks over night, after Its
machinery had been, deliberately
broken and twisted out Of shape. Still
later the gasoline motor was visited
during the night and left mass Of
ashes.
Spikes have been lifted from rails;
switches turned as though by acct
dent, and one by one the incidents of
the last few weeks are being shown
the work of spite or a maniac. The
Crouch line, as the railroad is known,
has been operating less than a year,
and has operated its thirty-nine miles
of track under constant hoodoo. 1t
is controlled principally by capitalists
in Cleveland, Ohio.

Hemesteaders Who Cut Indians Tim
Der Are Given 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 extanuat-
ing circumstances surrounding the
case, Judge Garland imposed the mini
mum fine of $25 upon each OF the do
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
peryision 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 homesteaders
followed.

A number of homesteaders In the
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 Kit
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 fled
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 a 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. c. H. Burke for
his assistance in their behalf, and he
has interested Senator Kittredge in
their cases, resulting in the introduce
ton of bill, which will give them
relief at the earliest possible oppor-
tunity.
