Method Of Opening.

A. Jackson was in Washington, ID. c.,
and while there had the pleasure OF
reading the presidents proclamation
which is now In preparation for the
opening of Trip county. The procla.
nation provides that the registration
shall take place in September The
exact date in September has not been
decided upon No points of registra-
ton were named. The proclamation
provides for an opening under the
same plan as the Lower Brule reser.
walton was opened. Instead of provid.
ing for points OF registration and re-
quiring that all who desire land shall
go to these points of registration. the
present plan for registration Is that
any notary, justice Of the peace or Off
Ger empowered to administer oaths in
the land district where the lands to
be opened are located, may make out
and attest registration papers and mail
them to the land office. This plan has
been adopted to prevent repetition
of such wild scenes as were witnessed
at FL Reno, Bonesteel and other points
of registration for land openings. The
proclamation provides that the filings
shall take place at the land office at
Chamberlain The present plan for
land openings is an improvement over
the old plan Of having a few points of
registration, but in this particular in
stance the plan is not applicable to
existing conditions. This plan could
give no registration point east of the
Missouri river or south of the White
river, except Lamro. Presho would be
the only railroad point in sight of the
lands where registration papers could
be made out. From Presho the lands
could be seen twenty-five miles away

American people had it not been for
these attentions.

FREED FROM PRISON.
Sentence of Harry J. Smith of Cedar
County is COMMITTED.

Henry j. Smith of Cedar county
received a Communication of sentence
signed by Governor Sheldon. 1t is to
become effective April l. Smith was
sentenced to serve one year in the pen
itentiary for forgery. By April he
will have served four months and
eleven days.
The communication was applied for by
Senator George w. Wiltse of Cedar
county. Smith did not testify at his
own trial, being guided by the advice
of his attorney. He was not tried for
uttering or attempting to utter a
forged paper, but his statement shows
that he did forge note for $35 and
that he never attempted to use it for
fraudulent purposes He was an insur-
ance agent and in an attempt to get
business thought it would be a good
plan to tell people that he had insured
certain farmer in the community.
He made out note and signed the
name of the farmer but never used it
in any way and said he never even
showed it to any one. The farmer
heard in some way that the note was
in existence and wrote Smith about it,
Smith sent the note to the farmer with
the forged name of the payee. Prior to
this Smith had been in hard financial
straits and had attempted to kill him
self The sight of one eye was lost by
him in the attempt to commit suicide.
He had obtained work at South Oma-
ha as a clerk when he was arrested
for forgery. He told the governor his
former job would be open to him if he
could gain his freedom.

DYNAMITE FOR HERMAN socHE?
Can Of Something Found at the Boche
Gate.


The Madison Star-Mail has I'M
earthed plot to blow up Herman
Boche, who is out on $4,000 bond
pending the review of his case by the
supreme court.
]. H. Conley was called up by Sen
ator Allen the other day and request
ed to go down to the Boche farm
south of Norfolk. Mr. Conley COM
piled with the request and on reach
ing the Boche farm was shown little
link can, little over two inches long
and little over an inch thick. The
can was sealed with something that
resembled hard wax Something that
resembled a cap projected through
the wax.
The can, Mr.. Conley was told, was
found at the gate leading to the Boche
farm about a quarter of a mile south
of the Boche home. The can was not
connected with anything but was ly-
ing in the roadway.
Mr.. Conley brought the mysterious
link can back to Norfolk and now has

Not satisfied with the verdict of
manslaughter which was rendered
against Herman Boche who was tried
for the killing of Frank farmer a few
days ago some one attempted to kill

Many Went Broke.

The Sioux City boomers went broke.
They were twenty years too soon and
ahead of time, but they were their city
and states benefactors, and built a
great substantial and splendid city,
which stands now and ever will as a
monument to their energy and faith
in their town and country and their
tireless and unflagging efforts to build
a great metropolitan city. Dan Hedges
and his son-in-law, John Pierce, Jim
Booge, A. S. Garretson, Ed Haakinson,
John Hornick and about as many more
kindred and daring spirits were the
guiding genius and moving magnets
of those times and that city, out they
all went broke and most of them left
for other parts to begin life anew,
and many of them in declining years
at that. Some of them died in abject
poverty, others started business on a
small scale, and some were afterwards
running street cars. John Hornick
alone of the bunch kept his head above
water and is still one of the leading
men in Sioux City.

Wholly In Nebraska.
The road was wholly in Nebraska
and, therefore, subject to the Nebras-
ka courts though having it's head
quarters in Sioux City. When the
New York nabobs found the clue end
or thread of the legal tangle it was
too late to retrieve lost ground which
had slipped from under their cold feet.
The battle ground was changed, lost
to them and won by the doughty pro
of the road.
Bierbower served a term as United
States marshal for Nebraska and was
then out of his job, and as there was
not much show of his reappointment,
so the receivership came in handy.
Indeed, 1t was a handsome and priced
windfall, the donor of which was sure
to get the receivers best wishes and
services. Hence Bierbower became
