Alleged Siayer's Hands and Clothing
Bloody and Hat Under Cody.
When Louie Racey approached the
old mill at Wolsey, a little city twelve
miles from Huron, and met several
men who had been in the building TO
investigate the death of his companion
of the night, George Stewart, it is al
legged, that his hands were smeared
with blood and blood stains were upon
his overalls and his shirt.
He was b~areheaded and he said
hat his hat had blown off while he
was on a freight train, from which
he had just alishted. But a hat was
found under the body of Stewart. and
it is claimed by witnesses that Racey
admitted it was his hat and the one
he had lost.
Stewards body was found headfore-
most in a grain chute at the old mill.
There was evidence that he had been
choked and beaten on the head and
face.
Racey, 1t is declared by the men he
met at the mill, confessed that he and
Stewart had been drinking together:
that they had gone to the old mill and
there had q%uarreled. Racey said, &C.
cording to these men, that he remem-
bered nothing after he and Stewart
came to blows.
That the murderer, whoever he was,
felt remorse, or at least fear, after he
had beaten his victim, was shown in
the presence of a half filled kettle of
water and other evidence that he had
attempted to revive the man. Unsuc-
cessful in this, he hen went through

TRIAL FOR LAND FRAUD FACED,
J. 3. Baker, Whose Partner Was Con.
victed, Is to Be prosecuted.

Joseph B. Baker, who has been To-
Gated at LaWtOn, Okla, and arrested
on instructions from the United States
authorities of South Dakota, will be
brought to the state. He is under in
dictment in the federal court of South
Dakota on the charge of land frauds.
For several years Baker was a ia.
m1liar figure in real estate circles in
Gregory county. Baker had as a part
ner II. G. Wyatt, who now is serving
a term in a Missouri Jail for an of.
tense similar to that charged against
Baker in this state. The PRINCIPAL
stock in trade of the two men while in
Gregory county, it is alleged, was the
filing OF soldier declaratory statements
upon vacant lands, segregatins many
hundreds of acres of rich prairie land.
When opportunity offered. it is charg.
ed, they sold the ACCOMPLISHMENTS to
this land to the actual settlers and
thus f1eeced these settlers out of hun.
dreds OF dollars for each quarter sec.
ton, the settlers being compelled to
purchase the ACCOMPLISHMENTS in order
to secure a clear homestead entry.

GREGORY WILL BOOM.

Trip county lands will be opened
early in October. Gregory has been
designated as a registration point, and
the permanent land Office of Gregory
and Trip counties may be located
here. This will mean a tremendous
rush.
The opening of 100000 fertile
acres of Rosebud soil in Trip county
will mean a registration of half a mil
lion persons, and perhaps more.
Gregory is far better equipped to
handle the crowds than any other
town in this portion of the state. The
opening Of Trip county will give the
poor man another chance to secure a
farm and home worth many thousands
of dollars.

In the mandamus suit brought by cel.
tain Democratic state convention NOM
inees against the secretary of the
state to compel him to place their

ticket, is a severe blow to that organi-
cation. 1t leaves them with a small
portion of a ticket which will go upon
the ballot as Democratic and the only
way any of the others a get upon

The court disposes of the conten-
lions of the attorneys for the Demo-

tionality of the law, and their rights
to act Independent of the law in max

manner, the holding being that so
long as the Democrats participated
IN the primary as an organized party.
they then nominated their ticket. and
could make no changes in it's makeup
other than those prescribed by the
primary law itself. 1t is also held
that the Legislative intent was to pro-
vid a mandatory method of making
party nominations, and such a law was
n properly within their constitution

Their convention selections can only
get upon the ballot as independent

their efforts to show their contempt
of the primary law by the nomination
OF only a part of a ticket by that
method, they are worse off than if
they had ignored it in it's entirety. for
in that case they could have grouped
their candidates all under one head.
