Out Evil.
While the present thrush of settlers
into South Dakota has resulted IN se-
curing good homes for many. some
OF the evils attending the settling up
of the country are now manifest.
Probably the most conspicuous Of
these il the unusual number Of land
sharps and would-be locators who
have succeeded in fleeing or deceiv-
ing the newcomers at "cut rates"
Steps have been taken by United
States Land Commissioner Roy Scott
for the Camp Crook district to stamp
out the evil, and to some extent he Is
succeeding.
All along the Milwaukee railroad
the small towns are infested with
organized gangs of these fake locators
who are finding many victims. Every
incoming train is boarded from the
moment 1t crosses into South Dakota
by the sharps, and hundreds of mis-
locations have been the esult OF
trusting in their Judgment" Mr..
Scott sent out literature advising
prospective settlers either to consult
a United State commissioner or the
lay of the land or to inform them.
selves first and make their own loca-
TONS In numerous instances old set
tiers were asked for aid in making
locations, and while they knew the
land, their unfamiliarity with the sur
veys caused trouble This now Is
causing the land offices a great
amount of additional and troublesome
work.
So far as known, no attempt has
been made by government agents or
individuals to secure the punishment
OF false locators, and many a settler
who thought he had located for fee
OF $25 choice piece of level land has
found himself on a rocky knoll
Complete surveys of most of the
land in this section Of the country

portionment of districts now stands
there Is no representation from that

taxpayers demanded that they have

pared In the county treasurer's Office
In Rapid City and promptly signed by
almost all Of the residents of the sec

quires that the new districts be Gre

Richmond, Va. Feb. s.-Oli men
who lived in Richmond before the

anniversary of the most terrible
snow storm In the history Of the Old

was given the name of Cox's snow,
owing to the fact that DR.. Joseph
Cox, of Chesterfield county, one of
the most prominent physicians of the
state at that time. was lost in the
blizzard and found frozen to death,

Last night there was quite a rally
of the box ball fraternity at the bowl

brilliant, Mr.. White breaking Uncle

This gives the White the high team
score, and both individual high

some bowling stunts, too.
Tonight the Awful White, Aunt
Addie Browns, Hopeful Blues, and
Terrible Crimson, play a series of
thirteen gains.
The scores for last night were:
Pink-172, 1?4, 176; Lavender
