have been concluded before Judge Car

city, in an important case. which was
instituted by Mary Sully, widow of
Jack" Sully, the famous frontiers
man who was shot and killed a few
years ago during a running fight with
a deputy United States marshal and
members of his posse.
There are twentythree plaintiffs in
the suit. The defendant in the action
is the United States and John H.
Scriven, allotting agent in charge of
Indian allotments in Gregory, Tripp
and Meyer counties. About 10000 acres
of land, valued at about s1250OO are in
volved in the suit.
Mrs. Sully alleges that she is half
blood Sioux Indian woman and that
the Indian bureau and Allotting Agent
Scriven have declined to recognize Mrs
Sully and other plaintiffs as Indians
and therefore have refused to allot
them the lands.
She asks that Allotting Agent Scri-
ven be restrained by the federal court
from allotting the lands involved to
other parties pending the final deter
mination of the suit.
The interests of Mrs. Sully and the
other plaintiffs was looked after dur
ing the arguments by Joe Kirby. At
the conclusion Of the arguments Judge
Garland took the case under advise

BON HOMME WINS CLEAR
TITLE TO OLDEST LOG
SCHOOL HOUSE IN STATE

meeting of the Clay County Old Set
tiers association held in this city yes

Jolley reluctantly relinquished for Ver-
million all claim to the honor Of hav-
Ing the first school house in South
Dakota. There has been spirited dis
pute among South Dakota. pioneers for
a number of years on the question
which was finally settled yesterday.
Vermillion made the claim five years
ago that the old log school house built
in Vermillion in 1854 was the first
building erected for school purposes in
the territory. Bon Homme disputed the
claim and set about to prove that a
building was constructed in that set
tlement for the purpose of conducting
a school, and that although it was
sold after having been used for one
term. that term gives it the honor Of
having been the first permanent school
in the territory. the old school house
in the controversy having been the
seat OF learning for eight consecutive
wears.

SCANDAL M0NGERS
CAUSE PURE GIRL
TO COMMIT SUICIDE
stories Estranged Her Lover
and Jennie Peters Hanged
Herself in Barn.

Tyndall, S. d.. July 13.-To the wor
of scandal mongers is directly due th~
tragic death of Miss Jennie Peters. the
handsome 17-year- old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Nicholas Peters, highly re-
Spected and pioneer residents of the
region about five miles northeast OF
Tyndall
The girl driven to desperation by the
fact that the scandal mongers had
caused q separation between herself
and the young man to whom she was
engaged to be married, took her own
life by hanging herself to a rafter In
the barn of her lovers mother. The
case is one of the most pathetic in the
history Of this part Of the state.
Found in her hat band was mes
sage directed to her lover in the fol~
lowing words: Dare to open nobody
but Jim-James Bambas." The letter
lacked the polished grammatical eX-
preston of an educated writer, but was
an honest expression of love and for
giveness. and proved her far above the
scandal mongers. whose wagging
tongues has brought about the separa-
zion of the young couple and driven
the affectionate and heart broken
young girl to a suicides grave.
The pathetic letter concluded by
stating that when the form Of the
writer was next seen it would be cold
drowned in the lake. Reiteratng her
love and forgiveness the girl closed her
letter with these words: May you
then shed few tears for your loving
Jennie"
Everything indicated that after writ
ing the letter the girl went to the barn
and, securing two halter ropes, tied
them together. She then climbed one
of the large posts that support the
roof, and, hanging by one arm, appar-
emily, had tied the rope to the roof
beam, then showed it out as far as
possible from the supporting posts,
after which she Slipped her head
through the moose and pulled it tight
and then. loosening her hold, had fallen
to her death.
The moose was tied in perfect
hangman's knot, and the fall of 10 or
12 feet broke her neck. Shortly before
ending her own life the distracted girl
went to the home of her lover but was
Informed that he was not at home. She
then went to a grove near the house,
where it is thought she wrote the
message found on her body. She then
entered the barn unobserved and ended
i her life.
Not until three or four hours later
was her body accidentally discovered

WANTS STORY TELLERS
FOR CH1LDREN's PARKS

St Louis, July 16-Miss Charlotte
Rumbold friend of the slum children,
recommends in the annual report of
the park commissioner that the city
employ several expert story tellers.
Miss Rumbold suggests that Miss
Frances Bowman, of the Barr Branch
library, be employed as one of the
story tellers. Miss Bowman is appar-
emily the only good story teller within
the range of Miss Rumbold's acquaint-
ance, as no other is recommended for
a place on the city's payroll.
Miss Rumbold says that thousands
of children flock daily to the play
grounds and that the greatest need now
is for persons with the ability to amuse
them by telling good stories.
According to Miss Rumbold, the Ian
guage of some of the little fellows Of
the slums is so shocking that when
the Fairgrounds attendants look into
their innocent faces they fear to re-
prove them lest it might have bad
effect,

WHOLE BUSINESS
BLOCK AT HERRICK
BURNS TO GROUND
$4,000 Loss to Merchants
From Fire Which Threat
ened Destruction of Town.

Bonesteel, S. D., July 16.--The most
disastrous fire in the history of Greg
ory county occurred at Herrlck, one OF
the new reservation towns, Friday
night. when an entire business block.
With the exception of two buildings,
was burned to the ground. About IL
o'clock p. m. fire was discovered in the
Sinkular millinery store, which quick
ly spread to the adjoining buildings,
and within an hour the entire block was
burning and the town, having no , tlre
fighting apparatus except one chem
ical engine, it was impossible to save
anything and the fire had full sway,
and burned until Z o'clock the follow
ing morning, when it was under con-
troll.
The losses are:

The entire loss is estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and $25,O0O, with about
$4,000 insurance. The origin of the fire
is unknown. as there was no fire in or
about the building where the fire orig
mated for day or two previous. The
smell of gasoline around the building
first on fire was very strong. which
leads many of the citizens to suspect
incendiarism. Herrick has no water
system, and the towns of Bonesteel and
Burke We're called upon for assistance
and While they We're promptly on the
scene, nothing could be done on account
of the lack of water supply. Forum
ately, the slight wind blowing at the
time was favorable, or the entire tow1-
would have been destroyed.
