Deputy United States Marshal
John Parmley, of Chamberlain,
was in town Monday and Tuesday
of this week with Joshua Roam
Eagle, an Indian from the Rosebud
reservation. 1t seems that while
Roam Eagle has family and con-
siderable property, he made away
with six head of horses belonging
to another Indian in order to de-
fray the expenses of pleasure
trip he made through this country
last fall accompanied by another
mans wife. One OF the horses
was killed. three of them sold ut
Philip and two to Harry STEINER
of this piacr. Mr.. ParmIcy. rs
sisted by X. Ii. Sands of Rosebud,
succeeded IN recovering all the
horses alive except one which was
sold by MIR. STEINER to party in
White Owl. They left on Tues
day for Nurlo with their charge
where a hearing was to be held
Wednesday. Mr.. Parmley is also
sheriff Of Brule county.-Cotton-
wood Republican.

pathy of the community in their

A peculiar application for q
homestead filing WAS made in the
Pierre land office last Thursday,
the applicant being John Holland,
of Stanley county, who desires to
make homestead filing on por-
tion of section 16, in township I
north, 20 east. The tract is state
school land, and as such has been
leased by Holland since 1902,
about which time it became pos
>sible for the state to make leases
of the school lands west of the
Missouri and at which time the
state land department began to
look after securing some revenue
from these lands. Holland alleges
that he settled on the tract in ques-
ton in 1889. or two years before
the survey of the same was made
and approved. He claims to have
three thousand dollars in improve
ments on that tract and to be max
ing it his home. The state will
oppose the entry on the ground
that Holland failed to take ad-
vantage of his rights under the
law, which allowed him ninety
days after the approval and filing
of the surveys in which to apply
for entry on lands which have
been donated to the state by the
Federal Government. Instead of
the ninety days, he has taken
eighteen years to make his appli-
cation and has acknowledged the
state right by his leasing the
tract.
In a conversation with &. T..
Dixie, Superintendent of the p. H.
G. & NV, we learned that he
does not expect the Northwestern
to build any new line this year ex-
cept short extension to the Bone
steel line, but that there will be
something doing early in the year
1910. From past experience it
seems reasonable to expect the
opening of the Cheyenne Reserva-
tion to take place next spring in
stead of this coming fall. It is Z
