CONTENTION OF PLAINTIFF

Newton j. Skinner, banker, and
several others were made defendants in
q suit filed by r. Garstang in the SUI
perior court yesterday. in which the
plaintiff says he is the victim of fraud
ulent representations, and demands the
recovery of $4,000 loaned to the Los

The loan. he says was made on the
recommendation of Skinner and three
other persons, who, it is alleged, as

bonds, which, he claims, neither secure

loss to Uncle Sam was not large.
When the explosion took place
a wallet containing several hun.
dred dollars in currency was blown
under the store near the center OF
the room and overlooked by the
burglars. This fortunate circum-
stance made the loss to the mer-
camille company much less than
it might otherwise have been.
Sheriff Huston and the authori-
ties of adjoining counties are on
the lookout for the burglars, and
Uncle Sam has two special service

Walden Residence DESTROYED
By Fire

Early Monday morning the
E. F. Walden residence, a mile

Only 4 few small articles of house

The 6re originated in some man

alton of the morning meal. The
flames spread very rapidly, and,
although the fire was seen during
its early stage and number of
town people started to the scene,
the building was practically con.
sumed before they arrived to rem.

The October Term of Circuit
Court

Circuit Court has in times past
always been held in this county in
Jar uary ard July, the most un-
comfortable months of the year,
but the last legislature, when it
reorganized the sixth judicial cir
cult, fixed the terms of circuit
court in this county for March
and October. So it comes about
that the sheriff and his deputies
are busy these days going up and
down the county summoning jur-
ors and witnesses for the term of
court which convenes at Fort
Pierre, Tuesday, October 19.
Judge Lyman T. Boucher will be
on the woolsack, and indications
point toward a heavy term.
The criminal calendar is large.
McCounn is to be tried for a doub-
10 murder near Kadoka, and the
prosecution will try to get a ver-
dict of guilty and sentence of
death. Nobody, unless it be the
attorneys for McCounn, seem to
know just what the defense will be.
There will be the usual number
of larceny cases, prosecutions for
violation of the liquor laws, and
the usual number of folk in trouble
on account of their sexual indis-
cretions.
Besides there will be the civil
calendar, and likely it will be q
big one. The term may last four
weeks,

hocn. Jet warned him that he
was violating the law and that he
placed himself liable to arrest.
Then he picked a quarrel with
Frank Calhoon. our deputy sheriff.
Frank promptly ordered him to
quit this sort of demonstration,
or else he had to place him where
he could not harm anyone. In
answer to this friendly warning
Mcklnnon once more drew his
gun and fired point blank at Frank
twice. Fortunately however. he
missed his mark, not because he
was a poor shot, but because he
was under the influence of the
bowl that inebriates. After this
Frank promptly jumped on him
and took the pistol away before
he could fire another shot, and
placed him handcutfed in the
village bastile. He was taken to
the county Jail at Fort Pierre the
first of the week where after a
preliminary trial he will undoubt-
edly be bound over to the next
term of the county court.

BY an order from the postoflce

ing here the mail from that part
gets in here in time to be sent east

These figures indicate pretty
clearly that the creamery is doing
a much larger business than most
|of us suppose. An enterprise
that prepares for market ten thous-
and dollars worth of new wealth
in four months is not to be scoffed
at. Moreover eight thousand dol
lars scattered out among the farm
ers of this locality in the summer
season is no small matter.
The creamery is especially for
tunate in having secured an ex-
cellent butter maker in the person
of Mr.. Butter6eld. His shipments
of butter always bring top notch
prices. The association also has
an active secretary in Mr.. +. j.
Morgan. He has contributed not
a little to the successful repor. the
concern is able to make.
Though, on account of feed con-
ditions, the butter business may
fall off bit during the next four
months, this summer has been
enough to indicate what may be
expected of our creamery when it

NarceSe NarcelleS Dead

Monday word was received here
of the death of Narcese Narcelles,
one of the most pictureque char
acters that ever made habilation
in western South Dakota, a land
where in the course of it's history
a few men out of the ordinary
have dwelt.
Narcelles was accidentally killed
while crossing the Cheyenne river
some fifty miles north of here.
He had spent several days of last
week in Philip purchasing supplies
and was on his way home to his
ranch on thereservation at the
time the accident occurred. In
some manner he was thrown, or
fell, fro1n the loaded wagon and a
wheel passed over his head crush
ing it to apulp. The funeral and
burial has taken place on the
reservation among the people who
loved him, and with whom he was
always proud to claim kindred.
Narcese Narcelles was born in
Fort Pierre fifty seven years ago,
and from his youth played many
parts in the great dramas that
have been staged west of the Big
Muddy. He was of Sionx and
French extraction and there was a
curious blending of the two races
in his make up. His alertness of
mind and general shrewdness was
truly remarkable. When it served
his purpose, he simulated an OBJ
tuseness and density that was
most disconcerting, but no one
ever had business transaction
with him, without thereafter hav-
ing an abiding respect for the old
Indians cleverness.
At one time the deceased was
one of the wealthiest men in the
state. In the old cattle days he
was a king among kings, and the
white cattlemen were regarded as
small fry by this Sioux, who
numbered his herds by the thou
sands.
But evil days came, no one
seems to know just how or why,
and the old warrior was stripped
of most of his possessions. At the
time of his death Narcelles was a
man of very ordinary circum-
stances, though he had during re-
cent years commenced in u meas
ure to regain his shattered for
tunes.
The old man is dead, but he
will be remembered for a good
many ye4rs by the old timers of
several generations as one of the
most remarkable men the fates
ever sent among them.

Concerning Homesteads


Almost daily l am asked one or
all of the following questions:
what constitutes residence on a
homestead?" What improve
ments and cultivation is necessary
to comply with the homestead
law}" and is a person obliged to
live on his homestead after proof?''
have alavs answered these ques-
tions as l have understood them.
and / am glad to have my answers
all confirmed by the General Land
Office. have just received copy
of "Suggestions to homesteaders,
and persons desiring to make
homestead entries," pamphlet
issued by the Commissioner of the
General Land Office, and approved
by the Secretary of the Interior.
These suggestions are too ex-
tended to publish, but below will
be found several paragraphs,
which directly answer the three
questions above mentioned.
First, as to residence, the Hon.
Commissioner says:
The residence and cultivation
required by the homestead law
means continual maintenance Of
an actual home on the land en-
tered, to the exclusion of home
elsewhere, and continuous annual
cultivation of some portion of the
land. A mere temporary sojourn
on the land, followed by occasion
al visits to it once in six months
or oftener, will not satisfy the
homestead law, and may result in
the cancellation of the entry
Second as to cultivation and i'm
provements:
mo specified amount of either
cultivation or improvements is re-
quired, but there must in all cases
be such continuous improvements
and such actual cultivation as will
show the good faith of the entry
man. Lands covered by home
stead entry may be used for graz
ing purposes if they are more
valuable for pasture than for cult
vation to crops. When lands of
this character are used in good
faith for pasturage, actual grazing
will be accepted in lieu of actual
cultivation. The fact that land
covered by homestead entries are
of such character that they can
not be profitably cultivated or
pastured will not be accepted as an
excuse for failure to either culti-
vate or Craze them.'
Third, as to residence after
proof:
After al entryman has fully
complied with the law and SUBJ
mitted proof he is no longer re-
quired to live on the land. But
Ill entrymen should understand
that if they discontinue residence
on the land prior to the issuance
of patent, they do so at their risk,
and by 50 doing they may place
themselves in such a position that
they may be unable to comply
with requirements made by the
General Land Office, should their
proof on examination there be
found unsatisfactory" "-Quin n
Courant.

MITCHELL GIVES ADVICE
 TO NEEDLESS NEGROES

Kiaal Mitchell, a negro employed at a. local office building, addressed a meeting of these of his race at the Mi. Sinai Baptist Church last night. The tenor of his address was a warning to the negroes.
 He urged on his hearers the necessity of adopting schedule of "donts." and told them to avoid hanging around pool rooms, not to stay in parks late at night, not to drink cheap whiskey. not to steal, not to sit on corners by day or night, not to be idle. but to get work and stick to 1t, tc be on time at places of employment and to be respectful at all times.
 In the course of his talk. he said:
 We say that times are. so hard for us some of us make good money. but de we take care of 1t? Some of us take the train on Sunday to see father and mother, and that Is right, but you ought to go only when you are able to' do so. Some of us pay $4. S5, $d and S7 for shoes, in these hard times when we can't afford 1t. We buy a horse when we haven't any use for him. We must gain the confidence and friendship of the white people; they are our walls of prutecttc e.
 "Do your work well. send your chil- tiren to sch ool4 Be 1t ever so humble. there is no place like home. He is happiest who finds peace at home. Col oredi people, we are never too old to learn No one is.
 We must quit this thing of preach ing so long, singing 30 much. and prayiuR so loud and long unless we are sincere and mean something.
