JACK SULLYS 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 STATES court in this
city in the fight for possession of about
10000 acres of land. valued at approx
mately $125,000. 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 22 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, as 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-
eating $4,000 must be furnished by the
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-
Der, to file their answer to the bill of
complaint of Mrs. Sully and the other
plaintiffs.

LAKE ANDES AND
GEDDES CONTINUE
COUNTY SEAT FIGHT

Chan. .5relain, S. D., July 22.-After a
truce which was declared last May, the
county seat fight in Charles Mix coun-
ty has broken out afresh and now is
waging with its old time furv the re-
suit of filing of petitions with the board
OF county commissioners b. the rival
towns of Lake Andes and Geddes, both
of which hope to be selected as the
town to make the race against Wheeler,
the present county seat, with the OBJ
tect Of capturing the county seat from
Wheeler.
Wheeler Is situated off railroad near
the Missouri river, while both Geddes
and Lake Andes are situated on a
branch Of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul railroad which penetrates
through the center of the county.
Both Lake Andes and Geddes are
very anxious to capture the county
seat. Geddes has offered the county
a block of land in a desirable loca-
tion within the boundaries of the town
and the sum of $4,000 in cash with
which to erect county court house,
while the hustlers residing at Lake
Andes are prepared to make equally as
good an offer.
In some respects the present fight be-
tween Lake Andes and Geddes resem-
bles the early county seat fights in
Kansas. Feeling between the partisans
and farmer supporters of the respec-
tive towns is quite bitter.

Bonestcel, S. D., July A..--Last night
"a telegram was received by Sheriff Nc
Mullen from Newport, Neb., that Harry
Hazard, who broke jail at Fairfax,
this county, last week, was In the GUS
tody of the officers of that town and
refused to be taken from the state with
out requisition papers. Requisition was
Immediately granted and Deputy Sher-

GAS DISCOVERED
WHILE DRILLING
FOR PETROLEUM

Watertown, S. D., July 2l.-The drills
In the Codington county oil fields
struck a heavy vein of natural gas late
yesterday afternoon, and with every
foot the big drill goes deeper the gas
issues in greater volume from the
opening. The oil men are exuberant,
Gs the presence of such a strong flow
of gas points with almost a certainty to
the presence of oil further down. The
company is maintaining the same ex-
asperating secrecy regarding the depth
of the drill, nature of strata penetrated
and general prospects of the expert
mcnt that hey have from the first and
If they could have bottled the gas as
il escaped they would doubtless have
done so. But anyone passing within
half a mile of the well is attracted by
the strong odor of gas, and so the cat
is out of the bag" The big drill is
going down night and day at the rate
of a foot every half hour, and in the
opinion Of oil experts not members of
the developing company, oil may be
struck any minute, and in fact may
have been struck at this writing.

RACE WAR RACES
IN LOUISIANA TOWN

Nataibany. La. July 25.-Daylight
today found this town divided into two
armed camps, with race hatred strain
ed to a dangerous pitch. During the
night preparations were made for a
race war of threatening proportions,
but the passage of night without actual
fighting is believed to have averted
further danger.
One of the hostile camps consisted
of 500 Italians and other foreigners
who yesterday moved out of their
homes here and in the vicinity in fear
of reprisals by Americans for wound
ing Walter Simmons on Tuesday and
subsequent shooting between Ameri-
cans and Italians yesterday. Some for
eigners claimed to have been warned
to leave that section of the country.
The opposing camp is made up of
about Is residents of Natalbany, und-
er the command of Sheriff Saal. Early
last night an italian came into the
town and said the men at his country
mems camp intended to attack and
wipe out the town" before morning.
Authorities believe they have the sit
uation under control.

ment, and suggested that Watertown
furnish that 1t would be composed OF

doubt but what the platoon VIII be or
ganized and the equipment ordered be-
fore the next encampment.
That an American volunteer soldier
respect for military red tape Is only
skin deep was illustrated at Camp
Roosevelt yesterday morning when a
corporal saluted the adjustant general
at his tent headquarters and asked TO
see Governor Crawford, the commander
in chief OF all the military forces of
South Dakota.
According to strict military etiquet,
when a private or corporal wishes TO
speak to a commissioned officer he asks
permission of his first sergeant ana
that officer arranges the interview.
This corporal waived aside all such
roundabout methods and went directly
to his commander in chief.
The general gave his permission for
the corporal to speak to the governor,
and when that worthy appeared at the
door II was evident by his greeting
that he and the corporal were acquaint-
ed.
It developed during the conversation
that the corporal was states attorney
of one of the Black Hills counties, and
that he was engaged in an important
law suit as opposing counsel to the
governor, the interview he sought being
about legal matters Of great import
ance.
The interview ended. the states at
torney saluted. turned away and went
back to the ranks, a plain corporal.
