Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1908-05-09

The supreme court of South Dakota
has been called upon to decide ques-
that is unique in the hands of the state.
1t is whether the funds belonging to an
estate without legal heirs, and hence
the property of the state, can be divert
ed to liquidate the private debts of the
deceased, debts that are not obligatory.
Over a year ago John Il. Wilson, the
well known attorney, died and left all
to his widow, who survived him but a
few months. She died without heirs
and the state at once claimed the es-
tate, which was worth several thousand
dollars. Recently some mining stock
assessments fell due, and the admins
traitor Judge John II. Burns, was order
ed by the county court to apply the in
heritance to this. Judge Burns and At
torney General Clark have taken an ap-
peal and will endeavor to keep for the
state the money and property left by the
w isons. u Journal.

Hope to Open New Land Soon.

Prospective homesteadersi in the /, ,0O0,-
600 acre tract of the Rosebud reserva-
ton in Tripp county where the land is
opened for settlement, have been in
formed that John Scriven, United States
alloting agent for the district, has re-
sumed work after having abandoned it
for the winter, and will as speedily as
possible complete the work of locating
the Sioux Indians who wish to remain
in Trip county.
The time when the immense tract of
agricultural and grazing land will be
opened to white settlement depends up
on the time the special agent completes
his work. The treaty between the In
dians and the government for the sur
render and opening Of the tract was ne
gotiated year or two ago, but the land
cannot be opened until all the Indians
desiring to remain in Trip county have
been given allotments, when the surplus
lands in the county, amounting to the
area stated, will be opened for settle.
ment by proclamation of President
Roosevelt.
Residents of the towns near the bor-
der Of the land to be opened are quite
hopeful that Special Agent Scriven will
complete his work 80 the 1000, ,0O0-acre
tract can be opened the latter part of
the summer. .n

In the parlor of the Hotel Franklin at

ter.
After the ceremony the bridal party
repaired to the ordinary of the hotel
where a delicious wedding supper was
served while La Gregor, the harpist, rem
dered several beautiful selections.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes are well known
in the Southern Hills. The former is
the owner of number Of valuable
ranches in that vicinity and deals ex-
tensively in real estate. Mrs. Hayes ia

Dynamlting Fish.

With the opening of the fishing sea-
son comes the news of the destruction
of fish in parts of Upper Spring Creek,
through the use of dynamite. For sew
eral years past endeavors have been
made to stock our streams with trout
for the benefit of all who enjoy days
fishing occasionally, with the result that
most of our streams are getting we'll
stocked with trout; on the other hand,
there are few individuals who are des-
tfoying all the fish large and small in the
holes along the creeks by the use OF
dynamite.
The Custer Rod and Gun Club offers a
reward of $1,000 to any person furnish
ing information leading to the convic-
ton of anyone destroying fish in this
way, and it is hoped that by making an
example of some one caught at this
business, a stop can be put to a practice
which threatens to spoil some of our
! best fishing places.

Shipment Of Ambligonite.

The first shipment ofambligonite from
the United States to a foreign country
left the Black Hills early this week, says
the Pioneer-Times of recent date. 1t
went from the mining ground FIVE miles
southwest of Custer, owned by W. r.
and Spencer Bond and Frank Suther-
land. There were about thirty tons, or
one car load in the shipment and it is
expected that this amount will be sent
out monthly hereafter.
Tests have been made here and in
New York and the rock has been found
to contain sufficient lithia to make 1t Of
high commercial value. 1t is being
shipped to France as ambligonite and
The lithia is extracted after its arrival
there. From present indications, the
mine will be able to furnish car load
month and will be the only place in this
section from which regular shipments
of this mineral are now being made.
In fact, the government metallurgical
reports state that the only valuable de-
posits of the mineral in the United
States are found in South Dakota and
California.

Timber Owners Organize to Fight Fire


One of the most important economic
movements of the day about which the
general public has yet learned little is
the concerted action of owners of tim
Der in different parts of the country in
organizing associations to protect their
holdings from fire. In the Pacific North.
west, the Washington Forest Fire Asso-
citation has just elected officers at Seattle
and begun work for the year with 8, 3,00O,-
900 acres under its care. The plans in-
clude system Of patrol by rangers re-
sembling the work done by the United
States Forest Service in guarding against
and extinguishing fires.
Organizations of a similar kind and
for like purpose are at work in Ore
gon and Idaho. In the latter state, a
portion of the expense is borne by tax
alton and paid from the State treasury
A western railroad company which
holds large tracts of timber has taken
steps to guard its property from fire, and
during the short time that it's plans
have been in operation, it has met with
most encouraging success.
Similar work is being done on the
other side of the continent. Forest
owners in Maine have gone to work in
the same,systematic way to control the
forests great enemy, fire. Like organi-
cations are found in other parts of the
country, showing how fully it is now
realized that protection against fire is OF
the greatest importance.

forest lands are waking up and taking
action to save what is left.
