In Charles Mix county the four war
ring towns have failed to find any com.
mon ground on which to get together,
as none of them appears to be willing
to trust any proposition which comes
from any of the other towns, and with
all of them out with petitions, it will
be practically an impossibility for
either one to secure the legal number
of signatures to it's petition. So for
the present at least Wheeler, the pres
ent location, sits tight and watches
the outcome which will mean the end
Of that town if the other warning
towns ever get together.

necessary. In that situation 1t will
probably not be hard for Fairfax to

Since financial matters over the

the state land department. With the
opening days Of January there were
no final payments on state lands
Knowing up, and the situation did not
look like any great number coming in.
But the last two weeks has brought In
a number of payments, and in n day
last week the department sent out
more than fifty patents to those who
had closed their accounts with the
state.
This gives the department the ready
cash to make new loans which have
been held up until the money was on

The same thing can be said Of the
probabilities in the way OF sales at

HIS FATHERS SON.
Violent Death Of Handsome Elk Re.
calls Similar End of His Father.

John Dillon, a business man of the
new town of Kennebec, Lyman county.
has been arrested on the serious
charge of m~anslaughter in connection
| with the recent death OF Ben Hand.
some Elk. a Sioux Indian belonging on
the Lower Brule reservation.
AS the result of trouble between
! young Handsome Elk and Dillon while
the Indian and a number of his broth.
rem were at Kennebeck, the Indian Is
alleged to have followed Dillon to his
home gate, where Dillon Is charged
with having struck him a violent blow
on the head with a piece OF board or
a club. 1t was afterward found that
Handsome Elk's skull was fractured.
He was taken to the sanitarium at
Chamberlain where he died without
regaining consciousness.
1t is said that Dillon Is confident
that when the case comes to trial he
will be able to make out a clear case
of self-defense. Stories of the encoun-
ter between himself and the Indian
have 1t that the Indian was armed
with a club and was about to strike
Dillon when the white man himself
used a club upon the Indian.
Dillon, following his arrest, was TAX
en- before a justice OF the peace for
his preliminary examination. The pre-
urinary hearing resulted In the de-
PENDANT being held for appearance at
the next term OF state circuit court In
Lyman county. Bonds for his appear
ance at that time were fixed at $4,000.
The defendant was able to furnish a
bond in that amount and now is at lib
erty pending his trial at the next term
of court.
The case has aroused wide interest
In Lyman county. Dillon "a a pio-
neer resident Of the county, and years
ago, before the settlement Of Lyman
county by homesteaders, was connect
ed with big cattle companies which
ranged their cattle in that county.
Young Handsome Elk was the son
of Handsome Elk, a noted Lower Brule
| Sioux Indian, who, after a lawless ca
reer extending over many years was a
few years ago shot and killed by In
dian police while resisting arrest. The
elder Handsome Elk was known as
the Apache Kid of the Sioux Nation"
by reason Of his desperate character
and unflinching courage.

Orman d Crook or Bondsmen Must
Continue Irrigation Contract.
The petition in bankruptcy filed In
Denver by Orman & Crook, the big
contractors, was not unexpected at
Belle Fourche, as it has been known
for some time that the firm has been
steadily losing money or more than
one of it's contracts.
Orman & Crook had the contract
for the Zig dam and eighteen miles
Of the Owl Creek canal on the Belle
Fourche project near here where the
government Is retaining 10000 acres
of land. Orman & Crook had five
big reclamation contracts. The one
here called for 81, O14, 900 and required
the employment of half a hundred
men. The canal is completed, and the
dam which is $500 feet long and liz
feet high, is about o%ne-fourth through.
The bondsmen of the firm is the Ma
tional Surety company of New York,
who are under a bond for $120, 900.
and in case the firm does not succeed
in Strengthening out its finances be-
fore spring, when work is expected
to resume, the bonding company will
be obliged to continue the contract.
Among the assets Of the firm here
are $4,000 worth Of machinery and

government still owes them SIS, 900

OPEN UP RESERVATIONS.
Gamble Bill Doesn't include Enough,
IL Is Urued,

E-"
The bill which has been introduced
by Senator Gamble for the opening OF
a portion of the Cheyenne River and
Standing Rock Indian reservations In
this state does not meet the approval
of the residents Of the up-river towns.
The bill as presented provides only
for tie opening of a strip along the
western side OF the reservations, leav-
Ing a strip more than fifty miles wide
along the Missouri yet retained within
the reservation lines. This is not
what is wanted along the river, and
the people OF LIE Beau at a recent
meeting passed resolutions requesting
the extension of the provisions of the
bill to include the whole of the reser-
vations.
Even IL action were to be commenc-
ed at once on the whole reservations
1t would be several years before any
settlement could be made. Many In
dams are hard to please in the selec-
ton Of their allotments, and change To-
cations several times before they
finally are settled down. The Trip
county situation will give an idea of
what will have to be met when the
move is made on the northern reserva-
lions. That reservation is not more
than one-sixth the size of those in the
northern part Of the state, and 1t is
taking two years or more to get the
Indians located on that tract, where
thew number hut few AS OmDare
with the Indian population Of Chey-
enne River and Standing Rock. AT
the present 1t will take four or five
years to get the tracts open opened.
To take 1t up in different openings
will not hasten the situation much, ex-
cept locally, and will increase the time
when 1t all is to be opened.

more serious with every attempt to
settle 1t. A crisis was reached when
the city council In regular session
unanimously refused to renew the
charter of the Watertown Water, Light
and Power company for a period of
twenty years as asked by that COM
pany. Every indication is that a new
water works system will be built by
the city unless the management of
the present system beats a hasty re-
treat from their present position.
The company will not sell its plant
to the city for less than $100, 900, while
an estimate by disinterested engineers
places it's present value at from $780,
600 to $751; 600. The present owners
paid $50, 900, and in hydrant rentals
alone have been receiving annually
more than $4,000 from the city. The
city has received two bids for con
structing a modern. up-to-date plant
for $95, 600.
The company demands $4S a year

$56,000 per year, while the city thinks

law Firm Retained by Prohibitionists
to Test Primary Law.
At a representative and well attend
ed meeting OF the state Prohibition
central committee, held In Brookings,
plans were made for the coming cam
paign. Not only did the committee
decide to ignore the primary law, but
determined to test its constitutionality
in the supreme court. They engaged
Aubrey Lawrence, of the firm of Hall,
Lawrence & Boddle, to represent them
rs counsel. The law will be attacked
in several of It's provisions, but partic-
ularly in relation to the section re-
curing a filing fee from candidates, a
provision which has just been held in
valid in the North Dakota law by the
supreme court of that state. It is the
opinion of the committee that the law
will be found invalid in many other
provisions, but nothing specific as to
the further line of attack has been
given out.
