PEOPLE NOW KNOW
WHERE THEY LIVE

Belle Tourche, s. D., Dec. u.
Residents of the new town IL
miles east of here. have finally
learned the name Of the place
where they live. For some weeks
past there has been a lively
scrap as to what the town
should be named. So warm did
1t become that a public convsn-
ton was called to select a name
and even then the male popula-
ton could come to no agreement
and the n woman present at
the meeting was accorded the
honor. She called IL Lucerne
and 1t was thought that the diff
Guilty was ended, but the North
western railroad decreed other
wise. The officials succeeded
in having a part Of the residents
petition the postoffice depart
ment not to name 1t Lucerne but
to call 1t Nisland, a combination
OF the name OF Mis- Sorensen, the
pioneer settler. Then another
petition was sent to Congress
man Martin by other residents
urging him to have II named
Lucerne, but the postoffice de-
partment selected Nislandsand a
telegram from Congressman
Martin confirms this action.

CRIMINALS SENTENCED
IN FEDERAL COURT

Sioux Falls. 8. D., Dec 2s.-Several
of those who had been found guilty by
juries during the present term of the
United States court, or had entered
pleas Of guilty, appeared before Judge
Garland and had sentences pronounced
in their cases.
John Atana, a Sioux Indian, charged
with introducing liquor n the Yank-
ton reservation, was sentenced to q
term of one year and n day in the
federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan,
and in addition was fined 500 and
costs.
James Riley, also a Sioux Indian,
convicted of horse stealing on the Crow
two years in the federal penitentiary
at Leavenworth.
James F. Six, charged with selling
liquor to Indians at the little own OF
Interior, between the Missouri river
and the Black Hills, In western South
Dakota, was given a term Of one year
and six months in the federal peniten-
tiary at Leavenworth, and In addition
was fined 800 and costs.
This Ease is a somewhat unusual n
and should serve as a warning to reck-
less persons who may be tempted to
sell liquor to Indians. AS the result
of the selling OF the liquor by Six a
number of Indians became Intoxicated
and, becoming involved in a fight, n
of them was killed. Since this occur
renee the government authorities have
been more determined than ever to put
a stop to the selling of liquor to In
dams.
The case of John Rays vs. the Great
Northern Railroad company now Is on
trial In the federal court. Kays seeks

500 for injuries alleged to have been
received at the Great Northern cross
ing at Vienna a couple Of years ago,
