Cottonwood, s. D., May 13.-Joshua
Roam Eagle gazed upon his neighbors

be desired. To be sure Roam Eagle
had a squaw OF his w who had borne
him many papooses, but did not the
pale faces, under whose law he lived
consider afiinities much to be preferred
above mere wives? So he persuaded
his soul mate to fly with him. Bpi
Joshua Roam Eagle had no such bank
account as is required to finance the
realization of IN affinity and SO he cast
about for ways and means Of adding ia
his resources.
He thought of the horses OF Ben
Medicine Eagle, who lived near by, ant
how he could take these and sell them
and thus be able TO carry away his af'
unity. Consequently he stole six OF
Ben Medicine Eagles best horses and
left his home near the Rosebud and
started northward. One Of the horses
was killed by a passing train, two Were
sold at Philip and the other two to
Harry STEINER, of Cottonwood. The
lovers took the train to Rapid City, but
there their dream was interrupted bV
a visit from the sheriff. He was sent
not by either the deserted wife or hus7
band, but by Medicine Eagle, who OBJ
1ected to financing his neighbours in
~fatuations. The runaway squaw was
forgiven and taken back by her hus-
band, but Joshua Roam Eagle repents
In jail, where he was placed by q dep.

GOOD ROADS CASE
TO SUPREME COURT

Lead, s. d., May 13.-The case
brought by the advocates OF good
roads in Lawrence county to find II
counties may o appropriate from the
general fund for road purposes, a case
IN which the whole state is vitality in
terested, will be carried to the supreme
court for a final decision.
The commissioners OF Lawrence
county assert that they cannot under
the law spend for road purposes more
than is collected by the special road
tax. N. T. Mason, who appeared for
the good roads people, argued from a
particular statute that the commits
sioners have authority to appropriate
in addition to the regular road tax,
Judge Rice of the circuit court held
three weeks ago that the particular
statute on which Attorney Mason based
his case was repealed by subsequent
legislation, passed in 1893. Attorney
Mason is preparing the brief for an ap-
peal TO the supreme court, in which he
viii advance three propositions. He
VIII question whether the statute in
question was repealed, whether, even If
repealed, its Incorporation In the code
of 1903 did not make II once more in
force, and, third, will advance his own
Interpretation Of the statute. Since
the road tax is limited by law, in a
number Of counties where public SEN
timent would support a larger expendi-
ture, 1t cannot be made unless the
Lawrence county case is won In the
supreme court.

CAPITOL CITY RESOLVES
TO BECOME a CLEAN ONE

Pierre, S. d., May 14.-For some
years with the advent of each newly
elected city council, there has been an
effort on the part OF the health COM
mittee to clean up the city, but each
committee each year got no further
than a start. The present health COM
mittee, however, began a few years ago
TO do some work which would prove OF
some value. Notices were issued and
the word was passed around the city
that the committee really meant to
have a cleanup. Alderman Grant Dew
ell, who is the chairman of the health
committee, issued a letter through the
daily newspapers, which in brief stat
ed that no matter who got sore" the
work would be prosecuted without
fear or favor. The alderman has been
giving his personal attention to the
work, and many city lots which have
been the unsightly dumping grounds
for all kinds Of garbage and refuse;
are despite the strenuous objections
of some of the more negligent owners,
being cleaned up, n in a short time

SOUND CATTLE
SHIPPED AWAY
Serious Allegation of a South
Dakota Veterinarian as to
Live Stock.

Sioux Falls, s. d., May 15.-"South
Dakota Is q dumping ground for dis|
eased cattle" asserted DR.. w. O. Stan
ley, former deputy state veterinarian,
commenting or the discovery that rs
per cent OF the dairy cattle at the state
p~enitentiary and state hospital for the
insane were found to have tuberculosis.
1T IL probable" he said. ''that cat
tie that cannot pass the rigid examina-
ton OF other states are allowed to come
In here. Likewise, cattle hat cannot
be shipped to other states are consumed
here. / believe that one-hfth to one
fourth Of the cows Of this state are
affected with disease. Most states have
quarantine regulations against other
states to protect their cattle, but South
Dakota has not.
Local butchers in South Dakota
car buy diseased cattle at greatly re-
duced prices and the farmers are glad
to sell stock that could not pass in
spectton at regular markets. Therefore
we must eat them here or bury them.
From my own experience / have
found that the dairy cattle of the best
breeds are peculiarly susceptible to dis
ease. In Massachusetts,, my home
state, three or four years ago, It was
found that rs per cent OF the cattle
were t~ubercular, and thousands of dol
lars were spent to alleviate the condi-
ton.
while I was in Sioux City a while
ago, Mr.. Thompson, then United States
inspector there, told me South Dakota
was sending in a great many t~ubercular
hogs and that many were being held
up at h yards. These hogs could COM
tract the disease from skim milk. The
condition in South Dakota calls for a
stringent state law and in fact the
situation all over the country requires
national legislation"
