DECISION HAS BEEN WRITTEN.

Joseph o. Brown case decided by
supreme court, stating Anne M. Nc
Geary, his neice, has about ne-third
ownership in ten thousand cattle and
two thousand horses.
Joseph o. Brown commenced cattle
and horse business in 1889 at Little
Bend, Sully county, s. d. He brought
the first train load of cattle from
Thomas S. Steele, cattle commission
house in Sioux City. Mr.. Blodgett
who is we'll known here as a travel
ing man for a wholesale grocery
house at Sioux Falls, ecame up with
Brown in the caboose.
Brown had bought 5000 acres at Lit
tie bend and fenced 10, 600 acres of gov
eminent land. He leased 5000 acres of
state lands for years. at &c per acre
He also bought 3, 500 acres at mouth of
Okobsjo creek, and 1000 acres near che
Indian school, Pierre, and leased 3, 500
acres in one pasture adjoining. He also
leased four hundred and eighty thuos-
and acre of pasture (No 81 Indian lands
on Cheyenne river, of which lease our
distinguished citizen, Hon. Mayor L. B.
Wadleigh is familiar.
On Wednesday Of Sept. 8th, the
Supreme Court of South Dakota made
a final order, stating that Anne Nc
Geary, Jos. o. Browns neice. is as
much entitled to have possession of
of the books as the Lumley family,
as she has nearly one-third owner
ship in horses and cattle, worth not
less than three hundred Thousand
dollars, and the Lumley family of
four or five members have elected
themselves from year to year and
Wrongfully prevented said Anne M.
McGeary from having her just rights,
and have wasted said property.
Jos. o.. Brown run these ranches
for over twelve years in his own
name. The Pierre Ranch and Cattle
company only lasted two and a half
months when Brown was poisoned by
the stenographer handing him glass
of brandy containing strychnine. She
claims she bought an income Of $751;
00O.O a year which she is now receiv-
ing from the Standard Oil company
of 26 Broadway, N. Y, and two mil.
lion dollars worth of real estate for
one dollar, that being valuable con-
sideration.

COUNTY oFRIcIAL PAPER
DOING WELL

Omaha Worid-Herald: It will not
be long now until somebody shins up
the south pole and nails the colors of
some nation to the top thereof. And
then what is left2
\ In the days Of Julius Caesar the
known earth was about the size of
Texas; In the time Of Columbus there
was plenty Of it left to be found by
the white man; now it is all brought
In but q mountain peak or two and
the south pole. These are only a mat
ter Of a short time, and then there is
nothing more for the explorer to find.
The history of the white man is
only some 900 years old, and it is
fair to say that he. has done pretty
we'll. He has discovered the whole
earth, after first discovering that
there was an earth, and he has edu-
Gated himself almost to the point Of
conquering physical disease and war.
Some day the white man will be
plowed under like this years corn
stalks, and out of the wreck and OBJ
livion of his life and civilization some
other epoch will come. The brown
man or the green man, or some other
kind Of man, will take his turn at
it, beginning in savagery and ignor-
ance to conquer the cid world again
and make new sciences and new re-.
ligions, and think he has found some
thing new.
The north pole may have been dis.
covered 100 times, maybe 1000 times.
All we know is that this is the first
time white man has got to it.

CRANE PICKED UP AT SEA.

That land cranes sometimes take
long sea trips is proved by Capt CHM
of the four masted schooner Lewis
ton, which arrived yesterday from
savannah. The vessel was 60 miles
off Hatteras when the lookout de-
scribed What he thought was a dimip-
5utiyc balloon. Hhe navigators trained
glasses on the strange object, which,
resolved itself into a combination of
55fappfng wings and dangling legs, with
a neck and head that reminded tho
LcWistoll's company Of a croquet mall
LEI With a decided twist in the han
die
As the object approached within
close range. it was discovered to be a
crane. Tho crane aimed to alight at
The foretopmast. but fell short and
crashed TO the deck. Capt. CHM had
the bird removed to the engineroom.
and yesterday it was fully recovered
from the effects Of its long flight -
