JACK SULLY'S WIDOW
WINS FIRST ROUND
Gains a Point in Fight for
Rights Under Indian Al
lotment Law.

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 23.-The first
round in the United Sta;es court in this
city in. the fight for possession of about
10000 acres of land. valued at approxi-
mately s125,0O0, has been won by Mrs.
Mary Sully. widow of Jack" Sully.
the famous desperate and socalled
king of Cattle Rustlers,' who was
shot and killed a few years ago during
a running fight With the deputy United
States marshal and members Of his
posse, and % other descendants and
heirs of the dead outlaw.
Mrs. Sully and other plaintiffs in this
suit seek to have the land allotted to
them as Indians under acts of congress-,
woman. The land involved in the suit
is situated west Of the Missouri river in
the south central portion of the state.
Judge Garland. of the federal court,
has overruled the demurrers of the
United States government and John H.
Scriven, allotting agent, to the bill Of
complaint of Mrs Sully and other
plaintiffs and has granted a temporary
writ Of injunction, a3. prayed for by
the plaintiffs, PREVENTING Allotting
Agent Scriven certifying any of the
land involved in this suit to Indians
other than the plaintiffs during the
time the present suit is pending. Judge
Garland has ordered that bonds aggre-
plaintiffs before the injunction shall is
sue. The United States government
and Allotting Agent Scriven have been
given until the September rule day,
otherwise the first Monday in Septem-
ber to file their answer to the bill of
complaint OF Mrs. Sully and the other
plaintiffs.

CORN AND MEAT.
Provisioner

From the National Provtsioner
Indications are there will be a very good
corn crop this year. 1t Is stll early for
predictions, but the crop is now so we'll
advanced that very satisfactory ono
there is every prospect of a strong demand,
for it when harvested, and little evidence
at hand that low prices will rule. 1t does
not appear that the corn crop is going to
be much of a factor for cheaper meat
From purely statistical position at this
time 1t would appear that 1t will be SUI.
ficient, bearing also the demand in mind.
to bring about a slight reduction in AMI
NAL prices, but 1t is doubtful IL 1t will be
enough to make q material difference ON;

With crop conditions as they are and
with live stock ratsers in such firm con-
troll of the live stock markets, 1t would
almost seem that the day Of cheap meat
is past Undoubtedly there will be huctu-
ations from time to time, but where farm
ers are able to hold back shipments upon,
telegraphic and other quick means OF COM
munication, it is not probable that mar
kets will again be overrun with animals
for any considerable period OF time. If
the country wants cheaper meat it will
have to look to the live stock raising end
of the business for cheaper prices, because
the packer cannot sell cheap meat in the
face of high cost for his raw material
cannot be expected to furnish cheap raw
material to the packer when his feed,
stuffs are high, but no doubt he will add
handsome profit to the cost OF his feed
ing materials when he sells it to the pack~

Wheeler is situated off a railroad near

Both Lake Andes and Geddes are
