SULlY CASE IS HEARD
$125,ooo INVOLVED IN ROSEBUD
SUIT UNDER AMUSEMENT.
RELATIVES OF JACK suLLY SUE

Judge Garland at Sioux Falls Has
Taken Under Amusement the suIiy
Case Involving Title to 10000 Acres
Of Rosebud Land
Sioux Falls, S. D., July 11.-Special
to The News: Judge Garland, OF the
United States court in this city, has
concluded the work of hearing argu-
mentS in an important case, which
was instituted by Mary Sully, widow
of Jack" Sully, the famous frontiers
man who was shot and killed a few
years ago during a running fight with
a deputy United States marshal and
members of his posse.
The suit was instituted by Mrs.
Sully in behalf of herself, her minor
children and other descendants Of
Sully for the purpose of compelling the
government to allot to herself and the
other plaintiffs in the suit lands stu
ated in the Rosebud country There
are twenty-three plaintiffs in the suit.
The defendant is the United States and
John II. Scriven, allotting agent In
charge of Indian allotments in Greg
DRY, Trip and Meyer counties.
Mrs. Sully alleges that she is a half
blood Sioux Indian woman and that
herself and the other plaintiffs are
entitled to allotments Of land under
acts of congress. About 10000 acres
of land, valued at about $125 900, are
involved in the suit
1t is set forth in the complaint In
the case that the Indian bureau and
Allotting Agent Scriven have declined
to recognize Mrs. Sully and the other
plaintiffs as Indians and therefore
have refused to allot to them the lands
which they have applied for under the
allotment laws.
They further allege that Allotting
Agent Scriven and the Indian bureau
threaten to allot to others the lands
applied for by them, and a part of
which is and has for years been oc-
cupied by the plaintiffs. They ask
that Allotting Agent Scriven be re-
strained by the federal court from
allotting the lands involved to other
parties pending the final determine
ton of the suit
United States Attorney Wagner filed
demurrer to the complaint in the
case, and it is this which has just
been argued before Judge Garland.
Joe Kirby represented Mrs. Sully and
the other plaintiffs and made the ar
gument in support Of the complaint.
After the arguments were concluded
Judge Garland took the case under
| advisement. .,.& ,prllss -,

SEES NEED OF PAVING
Prominent Citizen Sees the Need Of
Improvement After Trip.

Il never realize the great need OF
paving Norfolk avenue so much as
when | take a trip into other parts of
the country" said a prominent Nor
folk man, discussing the paving propo-
sition. when you go away and see
other cities, many of them smaller
than Norfolk, with paved streets, you
come back home to realize that Nor
folk is really slow in the matter OF
street Improvement" -
A numberof prominent and extensive
property owners in the down town
district who were formerly against
paving, have now come out in favor
OF the Improvement, realizing that the
value OF their property would be
greatly increased by paved street.
Norfolk was originally built down
at the fork Of two rivers. When It
rains Norfolk avenue gets muddy.
Paving was never needed more by any
city than 1t is in Norfolk.

CHAUTAUQUA IN J WEEKS
ENTER ON ADVERTISING CAM
PAlGN FOR CHAUTAUQUA.
GROUNDS ARE AN ATTRACTION

Delights on the Northfork And This
Fact Will be Placed Before Pros
pective Visitors.
"The Northfork Of the Elkhorn,
which flows through the heart Of the
city Of Norfolk, is a beautiful stream
deep, wide and cool, it's banks en-
amelled with wild flowers, festooned
with vines, and shaded by noble old
trees, whose birth reaches back to
the days of the buffalo and the Indian.
1t Is an ideal spot for boating, fishing,
bathing, botonizing or just idling
away an afternoon, enjoying the
breeze, the birds, the flowers. The
back water from the dam reaches up
stream seven miles to the rapids
formed by the submerged concrete
dam Of the sugar factory, which holds
the water back for several miles be-
You'd To portage a canoe around
these rapids and then shoot down
them Is an e2hilarating pastime,
there being just enough fall and white
water to make the trip delightful. The
river is well supplied with motors,
row boats and canoes.
With this paragraph prospective
patrons of the Norfolk chautauqua are
introduced to the Northfork river
which flows through the chautauqua
grounds and which affords pleasant
opportunity for boating, bathing and
fishing during stay at the ten days
chautauqua, which opens here three
weeks from today
There is no prettier stream In the
west than the Elkhorn and the North
fork in and about Norfolk. And the
fishing qualities Of the Northfork are
attested by the three and four pound
cat fish caught this week by man
dshlng on the prospective chautauqua
grounds.
The ideal chautauqua grounds, which
Norfolk has been fortunate enough to
secure within a block or two OF the
business center Of the city, will at
tract more than the usual number
OF permanent visitors who will occupy
tents on the grounds during the ten
days. The Woman's club OF Stanton
has already decided to spend the en-
tire ten days in Norfolk. The man
agement in view of the prospective
demand have arranged to secure an
indefinite number Of tents.
Season tickets for the chautuqua
are on sale in number Of Norfolk
stores and an active advertising cam
paign has been entered on, The chau'
tauqua programs, which are nearly
ready for distribution, will be exceed
ingly attractive, the local illustrations
giving an idea of the attractive sur
roundings of the Norfolk chautauqua.
The largest chautauCua crowd OF the
ten days will probably greet Senator
La Toilette when he speaks on the
afternoon Of August 4.

WEST END A RIVER.
Details Of the Sunday Flood Storm
in Norfolk.

Norfolk and Madison avenues in the
west end of Norfolk were the scene OF
a food such as was never equalled
even in the days before Corporation
gulch was built to turn the flood
waters south towards the Elkhorn
river. For the first time the new
waterway was inadequate. The great
food OF water rushed down from the
hills west OF the city far above the
banks of the waterway and far beyond
the capacity Of the ditch to carry on
the surplus waters.

The rain fall during the three hours

The rain Sunday broke all local
records. From statistics available 1t
appears that this volume OF water
was never equalled in Norfolk since
a local branch of the weather bureau
has been maintained here. The near

years appears to have been on Sep

A harder rain fell three years before,

The Storm General.
The rain extended clear across the
state from Chadron east, being heavier
in the eastern section. Not much rain
fell at Madison, Pierce or at Lynch
but a great deal at Verdigre and Stan
ton. The storm moved down from
western South Dakota. In and about
Norfolk the storm was most severe.
Railroads Tied UP.
Every railroad line out OF Norfolk
was affected by the storm. From the
time the storm broke at noon Sunday
until Monday morning not a passenger
train left Norfolk. Washouts occurred
between Norfolk and Stanton and be-
tween Stanton and Pilger on the main

West End Suffers Most.
The west end was the scene OF the
real food. Other sections OF the town
were water covered and saw the most
water in the memory of Norfolk citi'
zens but it was west Norfolk beyond
the tracks where a river of water
flowed across lots. At the tracks the
greater part Of the water turned
north, FLOWING up seventh street to the
Union Pacific fats, which were
flooded.
EIkhorn Highest in Five Years.
The Elkhorn river at Norfolk Is the
highest it has been within five years,
and is still rising at the rate OF two
inches an hour. The water Is about
four feet deep on the road between
the two bridges on South Thirteenth
street and the rural mail wagon found
1t impossible to make the drive. At
midnight some farmers got out, har-
messed their horses and built dikes to
hold the water OF their cornflelds.

foot Monday morning and no water
had begun to back up from the Elk
