mon of western South Dakota, who
formerly was United States Indian
agent at Lower Brule agency, and who

influx of homesteaders to the former
great cattle range country between
the Missouri river and the Black Hills.

that he had sold his stock, which netted
him about $500 00s and that he had
refused an offer of $40 an acre for the
several thousand acres of land which
he owns. After spending a few days

cate there. If not, he will return to

Pierre. 5. D., Oct. 6-The calendar for
the october term of the supreme court
Is out, and is the shortest calendar in
the history of the court, containing but
Il cases, of which 16 are on the Grim
mai calendar. This short calendar is
caused by the ruling Of the court that
no cases would be set for argument at
the October term except criminal, pre-
ferred and rehearings. This is to al
low the court from now until the April
term to clear up old cases which are
now before them for consideration, and
to allow them to start with a clean
slate at the April term, and to keep
the calendar clear from thai time on.
Such action will allow decisions with

RAILROADS SURVEYING

Gregory, S. D.. ocs. Homestead
ers who have located on farms in the
coded portion of Trip county, which
was made subject to entry last spring,
expect that the lines of two railroad
companies will penetrate their country
soon.
A party of surveyors, supposed to be
in the employ of the Milwaukee COM
ipany, has been running a line from Ga
coma, Lyman county, the Missouri river
terminus OF the company's Black Hills
line, to Roseland, one of the new towns
in the coded portion Of Trip county.
The surveyors have Travelled a south
WESTERLY direction, following h old
government survey from Chamberlain
to Roseland.
This activity on the part of the Mil
waukee company is said to have caused
the officials of the Chicago & North
western to hasten their extension
through Tripp county. It is reported on
apparently good authority that the con-
tract has been awarded for the extern
sion of this Dad to Colome, one of the
new Trip county towns, and that the
extension will be completed before
