CLERKS COMPLETE
CANVASS OF NAMES
THAT did NOT Win
Land Department Will Make
Comparisons to Find Dupi-
cation Of the Winners.

Dallas, s. D., Nov. accomplishing the
work of arranging alphabetically the
los, 900 names which did not draw prizes
in the Trip county drawing, Judge
witten has forwarded the names in
sealed and boxed packages to the de-
partment at washington, where they
will be compared with h 5000 names
drawn to determine whether there are
duplicates OF any Of those m
This task. which was begun a week
ago Thursday when the drawing closed,
was finished yesterday and gave en-
ployment to two relays OF 10 people
each working eight-hour shifts besides
q number of clerks who opened the
envelopes and tied them in bundles Of
100 each for assortment by the ~sorters.
While no official information has been
given out by Judge Witten. 1t Is known
that there were many duplicate affi-
davits. One report says that these dup
locations will reach 900, but perhaps not
that many Of those who drew numbers
on the land. When II Is shown that
the winner Of a number had q duplicate
affidavit among the 10S, 900 the drawing
win be cancelled, and TX II is shown
that the duplicate was a deliberate act,
and not the result OF ignorance, prose-
cution will follow by the government.
In M case a man registering made
the boast that he a registered seven
times. There Is no present report on
the assorted names, but IL IL Is shown
that he did the act he will be up
against It when the department has
made investigation.

BOY HAS II TOES
AND II FINGERS
Father Sees Possibilities as
Pianist, stenographer or
Mergenthaler Operator.

Wall, s. D., Oct. 30.-When it was
announced in the Wall Record that a
fine boy, with six fingers on each hand
and six toes on each foot, had been
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Colonel Weather.
by Of this place, Colonel Weatherby as
sumed a pride uncommon even among
new fathers. Now, as it happens, Col
onel Weatherby himself has six we'll
developed fingers on his left hand and
six toes on Zach loot. He says with
satisfaction that extra toes and fingers
can be found in his family four genera
lions back.
But. says the colonel, this baby
is what 1 call normal. He is the first
n in the family to nave two sets Of
six. Now that he is balanced all around,
he makes rather a ft youngster.s
II am expecting great things of the
boy, especially If he has any musical
talent. Think what he would do on
The harp, with IL fingers, for example.
Why, he would discover harmonies
never before known to the world. I
am not much on music. but even If I
had been, with v fingers on one hand
and six. On the other, I would get some
of the notes crossed.
"Or, If the boy doesn't take to music,
wouldn't he shine on a typewriter or
one OF those printing machines that
look like a typewriter and spit out
sticks Of type. I tell YOU, watch my
boy JIM"

OF THRESHER
FLEECED BY EMPLOYEES

Wagner, s. D.. Oct. 2~s.--Joseph la
Roche, a pioneer resident OF this
(Charles Mix) county, was the victim
Of of the boldest confidence games
ever worked In this county. EARLY i'm
the fall Mr.. LaRoche invested In a
costly new threshing outfit, which has
since been operating In this vicinity.
He placed the outfit in charge of a.
crew OF men, he not being an expert
enced thresher himself. For the past
two weeks he had been visiting In
different towns of the county, leaving
the crew in charge OF the work OF
operating the threshing machine. II
develops that they made good use OF
their time, for not only did they do
the threshing, but they also collected
the threshing bills and then disappear
ed. LaRoche a day or two ago went
TO the farm where his threshing ma
chine was supposed to be In opera
ton. What was his surprise to dis
cover that the machine was idle and
that his men had disappeared. 1t has
been learned they tool a train for the
East, leaving their employer in the
lurch n taking with them about 5000
of his money, which they had collected.
LaRoche now is striving to locate the
men so he a have them arrested.

PEELED to follow his bride; to. China,
and as a result of its decision in favor
OF h young man, Miss Jennie G.
Hershay, of Hurley, is out $4,000 she
expected to obtain as compensation for
her wounded feelings.

went to Dakota Wesleyan college to-
gether n grew to- like each other.
Later the young woman taught school

came betrothed. But Miss Hershay
had determined to become. a mission.
airy and insisted that she would go
to China Immediately after the mar
riage and that her new husband must
go with her. AFFORD had no such love
for the Chinese M SO he positively
refused. However, she had wedding
announcements printed, fixing the date
at June Is, 1907. When AFFORD found
h invitations had been sent out. he
wrote her a letter saying he would
marry her IL she would stay in the
United States, but not IL she would
go to China, She chose China and the

TWINE SAVING
INVENTION FOR.
. GOVERNMENT USE

Sioux Falls. s. D.. Oct. s0.-South
Dakota's delegation in congress this
winter will ask that body to adopt an
invention Of Charles p. Curlew. q CT
garmaker OF Sioux Falls, designed To
save the postofie department $4,000, 900
a year. For some years the depart-
ment has sought a device that would
do away with the large amour OF
Irvine used for bundles Of mail. Thus
far nothing has been devised that has
proved satisfactory.
Curlew's father is janitor at the post
office here and through him the young
man heard Of the opportunity. He has
perfected a very simple device and has
had 1t patented. 1t combines a wire
coil with a string that may be drawn
taut. The wire coil holds the string
In place, and, being adjustable. dis
tributes wear on the Irvine. Curlew
says he has used one model 400 times
and he Is sure n piece OF string
could be utilized thousands of times.

W0MAN'S HEART TRUE
TO HER FIRST LOVE

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 29.-This is one
Of those rare stories of a woman'S
heart remaining true to her first love
and of the thoughts OF a widower.
wealthy but lonely, turning back Ia
the object Of his youthful affection. The
result was the marriage of Miss Mary
oswald, of Chicago, and l.. A. Brock
way, of Rosalie, Wash, at the home
of the groom. g
Brockway was learning the furni-
ture business at Vicksburg, Miss, late
In the sos, when he met Miss Oswald.
q graduate nurse, fresh from a north
ern hospital, who was In the south To
minister to the sick following the vel
low fever epidemic. She had occasion
to nurse young Brockway, who was
suffering from another ailment; She
brought him successfully through the
illness, and he asked her to marry
him. She accepted. Brockway soon
after. became innoculated with the
western fever and came to Spokane
going hence to Rosalie, south Of here
where he opened a store. GradualIy
he and the nurse drifted apart. and q
few years later he gave another woman
his name. Mrs. Brockaway died two
years ago, leaving her husband and a
4-year-old child.
Through friends at Vicksburg Brock
way learned that Miss Oswald was stir
single, and after obtaining her adj
dress he opened correspondence. The
old attachment, begun 20 years before.
reasserted itself, and Brockway did
not have much difficulty in persuadinN
Miss Oswald, then living in Chicago, to
come west, and the wedding followed.

DAUGHTER
ENTITLED ONLY TO
HER TRIBAL RIGHTS
If Mother Was Indian She Can
Take Allotment or Share
in Land Annuities.

wakpala, s. D., Oct. 30.-There Ii not
a shadow OF a foundation for the claim
made in q Chicago dispatch that q
daughter of Jack Sully has a legal
right to the Rosebud reservation. Even
provided that Mrs. Sing is a halfbreed
Indian woman, as she asserts, with
rights among the Rosebud Indians, she
would be entitled to an allotment Of
one-half section of the land only, under
the treaty of 1868.
Jack Sully, the outlaw. was a white
man with no rights whatever among
the Indians. Being married to an In
dian woman, his wife and children had
tribal rights. Mrs. Sing, IL h proves
her claim, may possibly secure an indi-
vidual allotment. IL there is any land
left. II not, she will be entitled to par
ticipate In the tribal fund derived from
the present and former sales Of land.
as will also h children Of her Chinese
husband, who will be entitled to 160
acres each, and part Of the tribal funds.
Those who have taken homesteads may
rest perfectly easy. !, They own incon-
testable right to the lands they have
taken, 30 far al the Indians are con-
cerned. -.
There is a claim, however, which
crops up once In a while, and which
at least n Indian commissioners has
said was valid. but impossible OF COLI
lection, that in the Black Hills country.
The Indians a always contended
that they neved coded the Black Hills
in the treaty of 1876, but loaned II only.
White men who were at the council
rperHistently assert the same thing.
Lawyers OF repute have frequently dug
into the matter, but the claim IL one
of such enormous proportions that they
are unwilling to take IL up.

INDIANS DEMAND
BONUS TO LOCA1E
Big OIL SPRING
Rich Discovery Said to Have
Been Made by Red Men
on Reservation.

Pukwana, s. D., Oct. 31.-Rumors OF
the existence of oil in the bluffs of
Buffalo county have been heard several
times, but no evidence to substnatiate
the rumor has been produced until last
Saturday when an Indian from the res
ervation came to Pukwana with a
quart can or pure crude oil, which he
declares oozes out Of the ground at the
foot OF a blur on the reservation. The
oil from the spring, he declares, has
accumulated there and formed q pool
which contains probably so barrels, and
the sample which he had with him was
dipped from this pool.
The Indian says the oil will burn
readily. He has often dipped fire wood
into II. and when the wood Is fired 1t
burns ~furiously.
Another Indian, Wallace Ashley, who
Is well known and reliable, confirms
the report. and says that he has seen
the oil spring and describes Ii sub
stantially rs stated. They both refuse
to divulge the location of the spring
without a guarantee Of a cash bonus
for the information which they insist
should be 5000. ,
An investigation will be made to OBJ
tain further evidence OF the presence
of oil In that region.

STANDARD
GOT LOWER RATE

New York, Nov. 1.-The admission
that the Standard Oil company bene-
fted from a preferential freight rate
lower than that quoted to any other
shipper was drawn from a witness at
the hearing in the government suit to
dissolve the company
George b. Ferguson, a clerk in the
freight department OF the Central Ver-
mont railroad, gave the testimony re-
ferred to. After enumerating various
tariffs in force on the Contra Vermont
one Of which, he declared, had ever
been secret, the witness was taken in
hand by the governments attorney,
who elected information that a special
rate had been issued to the Standard
Oil company. Pressed al to what other
shippers had been benefited from this
special tariff, the witness said that as
far as he knew the rate applied only
to the Standard. The extent Of the
preference accorded to the Standard by
the Central Vermont was shown in
two letters quoting freight rates per
carload. In n instance the rate was
given as $50, q carload, while in the
other case the rate quoted was 1913.
The witness admitted that the $23 was
the one under which the Central Yer
mont carried the Standards shipments.
