TOO MUCH LIGHT.

Major Charles Edward Woodruff, an
army surgeon passing through here to
the philippines, expresses the opinion
that light rather than heat is fatal to
white races in the tropics. Brunettes
consequently stand the climate in tro-
pical and sunny countries better than
blondes. Major Woodruff believes
there is too much light in Honolulu
interiors and gives caution regard
ing schoolrooms in this connection. In
the States he has found that blondes
suffer more generally from tuberculo-
sis than burnettes, and he is trying
to combat the tendency of physicians
to give their patients too much light.

PERELsTROUs PLEASED.

A. w. Perelstrous, the Vladivostok
contractor, was highly pleased with
his visit to Eva plantation and mill
yesterday, on which his guides were
Chief Clerk Matheson of the Executive
Department and Clerk Savidge of the
Board of immigration. He thought
that husky Russians would be worth
$40 month at the heavy work. Al
though he has taken up the matter of
Russian immigration since his arrival,
Mr.. Perelstrous only came for a vaca-
ton and with the intention Of buying
home here to live in part of each
year. He became interested in Hawaii
through acquaintance with the late
James A. Low in Vladivostok.

INDIAN TRUST LAND
BONE OF CONTENTION
Agreement to Convey 1t Is At
tached by United States
Attorney.

Sioux Falls, s.. D., Aug. 7.-A suit OF
an unusual character, involving o valu-
able tract Of land situated in Moody
county, has just been instituted in the
United States court in this city by e.
e. Wagner, United States attorney for
South Dakota, acting in behalf of the
general government. The defendants
in the action are Louis Hemmer, Will
lam III. Fletcher, j.. e. Peart, Richards
Trust company, Iowa and Dakota Land
company, Fred d. Henderson, as reas-
urere of Moody county; E. b. Horribly,
as auditor of Moody county; Job Robin
son, and s. w. and t. w. Ballard, CO.
county.
The land involved in the suit was
entered as an Indian homestead at the
United States Lane Office in Sioux Falls
on October z, 1878, by Henry Taylor, a.
fullblood Santee Sioux Indian. Tay-
lor made final proof on the land in
1884 and occupied the tract until about
April 28. of the present year, when 1t
is alleged in the complaint in the case
himself and family were forcibly re-
moved from the tract by Louis Hem
mer, n Of the defendants In the ac-
ton. On August %, 1908, there was
filed in the Office of the register of deeds
of Moody county an assignment to VIM.
III. Fletcher of a contract by which
Taylor and his wife agreed to convey
the land to j.. e. Peart.
About November q, 1908, Taylor and
his wife refused TO convey the land
TO Fletcher. The latter then instituted
ar action in the United States court in
this city, and in December Of last year
Judge Garland issued an order appoint
ing a trustee or executor with author
ity to deed the land to Fletcher in ac-
cordance with the agreement entered
into by Taylor and his wife, upon pay
ment Of the agreed price of So, 400. On
the ground that an error was made
in the patent issued to Taylor by the
government in 1884. a new patent was
issued to Taylor by the government
this year.
The purpose OF the suit just instituted
by United States Attorney Wagner is
to have the contract, deeds and other
instruments Cancelled so the land can
revert back to Taylor and his wife, the
United States government contending
that under the trust deed or patent is
sued to Taylor by the government the
land cannot be alienated by him and is
not subject to taxation, pending the
termination Of the 25-year trust period
provided in h government deed or
patent.

WHISKY CAUSED
HALF BREED MURDER

Aberdeen, S. D., Aug. IA gallon OF
whisky was the cause OF the shooting
of Thomas Powell, a young half breed
Indian, on the Standing Rock reserva-
ton, by Robert Gilland, another half
breed, early Sunday morning. Powers
and Gilland had been to the agency to
get their issue of beef cattle, and We're
driving the cattle home. In the party
were two or three other young In
dams. In some manner h redskins
had procured a gallon Of liquor, and
were partaking of It freely. Powell,
under the influence OF the liquor, be-
came insulting and abusive, and called
Gilland a horse thief and other names
Gilland ordered him to stop, and when
Powell refused went to his horse and
got a revolver from the saddle. Firing
a shot in the air, Gilland again or
dered Powell TO stop, but Powell in
stead started toward him. Then Gill
land fired, shooting his victim through
the abdomen. Gilland then sprang on
his horse and rode to Thunder Hawk,
where he called up Sheriff Perry OF
the newly organized county OF Corson,
telling of his crime. Perry told him TO
go to town and give himself up,
and wired the railroad to give Gill
land a ticket for Morristown. Gill
land took the train and when he got
off at Morristown the sheriff was there
to meet him. Gilland was brought to
Aberdeen, where he waived preliminary
examination and was held by United
States Commissioners William Wallace
to await the action Of the federal court.
He is confined in the Brown county
jall here. The Indian agent on Stand
ing Rock states that both Powell and
Gilland were usually well behaved,
Powell being especially law abiding
and inoffensive when sober. The man
introducing the liquor OF the reserva-
ton will be prosecuted to the limit IL
he cnn be discovered.
