LITTLE TIME LEFT FOR FILING.
Rosebud Free Homestead Lands to Be
Withdrawn.

III ~ l.
Withdrawn.
In a few days the free homestead
lands on the Rosebud reservation in
Gregory county will be withdrawn
from public entry, in accordance will,
the general land laws, which provides
tor this after the lands have
been open for filing for a period OF
four years. The time for further
filings will expire with the close OF
business at the land Office in Mitchell
on Aug. Z.
Register Burns states that there are
about 10000 acres of land left yet to
be filed upon on the Rosebud, most
Of which is desirable farm lands.
While all the land was drawn by lot.
terry four years ago, there were many
who never showed up to file on the
land which was awarded them in the
drawing. 1t is likely that the gen
eral land Office will provide a way in
which these lands can be secured by
the public, and which will be given
due publicity.
The register and receiver Of the
United States land Office of Mitchell
have received information from S. V.
Proudfit, the acting commissioner of
the general land Office of Washing.
ton, directing them what to do in the
premises, the substance Of which is
as follows:
"'The act Of April %, 1904 (33 Stat,
254), opening to settlement and en-
try that portion of the ceded Rosebud
Indian reservation in Gregory county,
South Dakota, contains the following
provision:
"All lands herein coded and opened
to settlement under this act remain
ing undisposed of at the expiration or
four years from the taking effect OF
this act, shall be sold and disposed OF
for cash under rules and regulations
to be prescribed by the secretary of
the interior, not more thar GAO acres
to any one purchaser.
said act took effect on Aug. 8. 1904.
The four-year period mentioned IN the
above provision expires with Aug. !,
1908. In view Of the above you will
not, after Aug. 7, 1908, allow home
stead entries to be made Of any lands
vacant at the close of business on
said date, except upon application filed
In your office on or prior to said date,
or in the exercise Of a preference
right gained through contest, or based
upon a valid settlement established
prior to said date and timely assert
ed. Lands embraced In an existing
entry on Ang. 8, 1908. may be entered
under the homestead law according TO
present regulations at the price fxei
by first entry hereof, should the lands
become vacant. The matter Of dis
posing Of the lands remaining undis-
posed of at the expiration Of the four
year period referred to above. will be
the subject of further consideration
Since practically the first settlement
begun on the Rosebud after the land
had been opened to tilinc. the lands
have increased in value because of
the richness of the soil for agTicrl-
tural purposes, and good crops have
beer the rule every year since. Many
new towns have sprung into existence
in various parts of the reservation, all
of which are making q steady growth
and development along all lines.

SEE FATHER CHOKE AND DIE.
Six Motherless Children Present
When Meat StrangIes Parent.

Sioux Fails, S. D., Special. - The
lodging of a piece of meat in his
throat caused the death of Gottlieb
Schmittgall, a farmer in Hutchinson
county. He was eating his breakfast
when the piece of meat became lodg-

the strenuous efforts of himself and
his Mortified children, who were pres
ent and witnessed the tragic fate Of
their father, the obstruction could not
be removed, and he slowly choked to
death. His wife died last spring.

lng TO come when the bill comes up
tor consideration, for the reason
that the ace between Andrews and
and Larrazolo was so close. The
natural conclusion OF many con.
gressmen and senator's will b, that
It IS doubtful whether New Mexico
IS republican or democratic, the
equaslOn being that We will wait
another two years before taking
any chances OF reducing the ic,
publican majority IN the senate.
Now, to the average New Mexican
TIL IS all blue mud. We know
the reason the race between IN.
drews and Larrazolo was close
this year, and the reason 1t was
closer before, and We know that il
IS not because New Mexico is so
nearly democratic, but because OF
the opposition Mr.. Andrews had
IN ms own party IN the territory.
MIR. Andrews knows this, and can
easily explain II it be- wants 10, or
needs 10. New Mexico with a
strong and popular candidate tor
delegate will roll up a republican
majority OF eight OF ten thousand.
1t may not be Mr.. Andrews fault
that the situation is thus, but 1t is
a condition and not a theory that
conironts him, and the republican
party is not at fault, nor should 1t
be held accountable to the extent
that We be- denied admission to the
Union.
