MAYORS Side of Cow Case.

Bonesteel, S. D., Dec. Editor
News You have published two ar
ticles concerning my arrest on the
charge of grand larceny, but in neither
article have you stated the facts.
In the last article it is stated that
sentiment in this community is divid-
ed, inferring thereby that there might
be some reasons for suspecting me
guilty of the offense. l, therefore, ask
you to publish full statement of all
the facts connected herewith. There
is bitter factional fight in Bonesteel,
which has arisen through no fault of
and which has entered into this I'M
pleasantness. At the city election last
April A. p. Hendrickson was nominal
ed for mayor at city caucus, and he
represented the crowd who has had
control of the city government since
the opening of the Rosebud reserva-
ton in 1904. I was nominated by the
other faction as the opposing candi-
date. On the face of the returns Hen
Erickson was elected by one majority.
| contested his election, and after a
trial | was declared elected, and Mr..
Hendrickson was removed from office.
Since then my opponents have left no
stone unturned to annoy and harass
me in the administration of the office.
Now, as to the facts in this case:
Last August a man named Daley
passed through this city on his way
to Bristow, Neb. He formerly lived
on a farm on the Sully Flats. Among
his belongings was an old COW, which
became so sick while driving to this
town that he was compelled to aban-
don her a mile or two west of here.
on the streets for several days. She
was very sick and offensive, and con-
sidered absolutely worthless. No one
seemed to know to whom she be.
longed, only that she had been aban-
doned by emigrants passing through
the city. The COW was a public nuis-
ance. Numerous complaints were
made to the chief of police. The city
has provided no pound. The chief of
police hired a boy and paid him %
cents to drive her two miles out of
the city; in a day or two she came
back; complaints were again made,
and the chief of police came to me, as
mayor for instructions. She was in
such a shape that it was considered
advisable to kill her, but | finally de-
termined to send her to my pasture,
three miles north of the city, where
she has been ever since, and where
the owner is welcome to get her at any
/ time.
There was nothing secret about her
removal. The chief of police and
many other citizens knew where she
was. l never made claim of owner.
ship to this COW, and would have been
glad had some one claimed her and
taken her away. No one ever asked
me about the COW, and / did not know
that Mr.. Crawford or any one claimed
to own her until a few minutes before
was arrested.

FEWER BABIES IN ENGLAND.
Race Suicide is Beginning to Worry
the Statesmen.


London, Dec. S.-England is having
In addition to the uncertainty of the
outcome of the approaching general
election and the fate of the Liberal
government the nation has been
brought face to face with another and,
as some statesmen believe, graver
situation than Is presented by any of
the political issues.
The decline in the relative birth
rate of Great Britain is shown by the
latest figures to be greater than in
France. The decline in population is
not so great here as in France, for
the number of deaths is far smaller,
in proportion to the population, in
England than in France. But in Ger
many, the country whose statistics
England studies with a more jealous
interest than any other, the increase
in population, both by birth and immi.
grafton. is constant.
For many years the preponderance
of unmarried women in England has
been a source of some anxiety to NOR
alists and theorists. The fact that the
island is an "old maids country" as
it has been described, has been at
tributed largely to the great number
of men who go as bachelors to the
British colonies. The new figures
have transformed the anxiety into
genuine alarm, for they show that the
increase in population is not proper
tionate even with the number of mar
riages.
Sir Jervoise A. Baines took this sub.
ject for the text of an address which
he has just made as president of the
Royal Statistical society in the Royal
United Service institution.

OPINION IN THE EGAN CASE.
Review Of Decision Written by Justice
Whiting.

Pierre. S. D., Dec. Sin the deci-
cation of George w. Egan for rein.
statement to membership of the bar
of the state the decision was written
by Justice Whiting and concurred in
by Justice Mccoy and Justice Smith.
On account of the peculiar conditions
in relation TO the case Justices Carson
and Haney took no part in the deci-
sion. Justice Whiting, in his opinion,
which covers fifty typewriter pages,
goes not only into the legal phases of
the case, but in fact includes practical
ly complete history of the affairs in
which Mr. Egan has been concerned,
which led up to the present situation.
He takes up first the legal phases of
the case, then shows in detail the tac-
tics of Egan in carrying on his cam
paign, both in the newspapers and in
other manner, in his attacks upon the
integrity of the courts of the state
and the judges of such courts. In one
part of the opinion he assumes that it
is fortunate that majority of the
present membership of the court has
come TO the bench since the disbar-
ment of the applicant. And this ma
jority alone acted after a review of
the record in all the different phases
of the case, leaving the members who
had been attacked personally by Egan
entirely out of the present case, thus
cutting that individual off from an op-
portunity to declare the present deci
sion a part of the conspiracy" to
crush him, continuing in their former
line of action.
The newspaper articles and clip
pings in which Egan attacks Justices
Haney and Corson are quoted freely
and set up as one good reason why
such a man is not a proper person to
be a member Of the bar of the state.
His record and pleadings in the hear
ing in which he was disbarred are
shown to be in large part assertion,
with nothing tangible to sustain the
allegations made by Egan in his appli-
cations and petitions.
Justice Mccoy Concurs in a short
special opinion, in which he concurs
fully with the opinion written by JUS
tice Whiting, in which he holds that
his accusations against the courts of
the state show his moral unfitness to
be an attorney of the court, while JUS
tice Smith simply concurs in the opin-
ions expressed by Justices Whiting
and Mccoy after a careful considera-
ton of all the records in the case.
The disbarment of Egan was on the
grounds of moral unfitness," and the
justices, who have all come to the
bench since that decision was rem
dered, after a careful examination of
the record and other matters connect.
ed with the case, have unanimously
come to the conclusion that the de-
cision disbarring him should stand.

DAKOTA FOUR HARMONIOUS.
Better Feeling Among Senators and
Conoressmen.

Washington, Dec. S.--There are in
dications Of greater harmony among
the members of the South Dakota
delegation than has existed I'm that
part of congress for several years.
Despite that fact that two senator's
come from the progressive wing OF
the republican party in South Dakota
and two representatives from the stall
wart wing, they seem to be more will
ing to get together on matters of gene
raj interest to the state than ever be-
fore. The alliance of these senator's
and republicans in support of the
Taft administration on the tariff bin
is believed to have done much to-
ward breaking down the barriers OF
South Dakota factionalism as mani
fest there.
An instance of the better feeling
existing in the South Dakota delega-
ton is the conference its members
will hold in few days to discuss
the new land district for the state.
An effort will be made to agree on
lie Beau, Mabridge or some place
west of the Missouri river for the
ntW ldllu OlllCe. IL an agreement Gun
be reached it may be possible to have
the office located by executive order
without the additional legislation by
transferring the force of the present
land office at Aberdeen, which is said
to have practically completed it's work
there.
Another conference will be held by
the South Dakota delegation during
the holidays to consider legislation
needed to protect the interests of state
in school lands located in the Black
Hills forest reservation. Congress
will be asked to authorize the ex-
change of these lands and other school
sections held by alleged squatters for
lands outside the forest reserves The
South Dakota attorney general and
land commissioner will come to Wash
ington to attend this conference.
About 100000 acres are involved.

BEWARE OF THE COLD BATH.
The Sudden Shock Dangerous to the
Health. Prof, L, L. Dyche Saws

Topeka, Kan, Dec. S.-If you are in
the habit of taking a cold water bath
every morning or even just once in a
while, quit it. That is the advice of
Prof. L. l.. Dyche of the state univer-
sity, who was in Topeka today.
Don't listen to the advice of physi-
clans or any one else who suggests
cold water plunges," Professor Dyche
said. "They are harmful. The bath
to take is one that is in water just as
warm as q person can stand. Dry
yourself thoroughly after your dip and
use little precaution about exposing
yourself to the air too soon.
1.-The cold bath gives nervous
shock and | presume that no one will
contend that that sort of thing is bene-
fetal. The warm bath brings the
blood to the surface and stimulates
circulation. At one time had fool
ish notion about cold baths and took
them. They injured my health"

Still Growing Radishes.

Creston Statesman: Joe Louis is
still pulling radishes from his garden,
and supplied the Thanksgiving tables
at the Thurston hotel with a fine quail
ity of his product. He has five beds
of radishes which will mature within
few days, and If Jack Frost shall be
only half way decent Mr.. Louis is con-
fident that he will be eating radishes
of his own growing as late as Christ
mas day. His radishes are growing
in the open air, just as they do in
summer time, but he puts them to bed
at night and tucks in the covers well.

Of sale was prepared at Bristow, Neb.,

friends has ever offered a single rea.
son for getting this bill of sale, as II
was entirely unnecessary. Their mo.
tive Is only too obvious. At the hear.

$25 for the COW. On cross-examination
he testified that 1t was not in money;
that Daley owed him something, and
then he boarded with him for a day
or two when he was loading his goods,
and the COW was given to him In set

sale necessary when the COW was
turned over to him, or until he thought
of swearing out the complaint.
He admitted that he made no de.
mand on me for the COW or ever spoke
to me about her, but as soon as he
heard she was In my pasture, and that
had hired boy to take her out
there, he swore out warrant for my

South Bend, Ind, Dec. S.-Angry
because his two playmates laughed at
his threat to fll them full of buck
shot, Clarence Liehty, aged IA, it is

fatally wounded.
The victims are Carl Mccormick,
aged 10, and Donald Foster, aged 10.
The latter may die. The shooting
took place few miles south of South
Bend. The wounded lads promised
young Liehty they would not blame
him for the affair, but Mccormick,
upon learning that Foster was in a
critical condition, told the story.
I'm going to shoot YOU" Liehty is
alleged to have shouted to the boys
from boat. Thinking he was joking,

The next minute, Mccormick said,
they heard a report. something hit

CUTS CANCER WITH CURRENT.
Baltimore Surgeon Uses French Meth.
cd of Killing Growth.

% OF Nllllng SroWtn.
Baltimore, Md, Dec. S.-For the first
time in this country the electrical
method of DIR. e. Doyen, the eminent
French surgeon, was employed today
by DR.. G. Hauer Everhart at ST. Luke's
hospital when he removed large can
cerous growth from the mouth of John
Lookingbill of Carroll county. The OPP
Grafton also included the removal of
growth from other parts Of the pa
tents face. Hot steriliZed air, just
below the burning point, first was APP
piled TO soften the tissues and make
the application of the electricity more
thorough in its work.
"Fulguration" is the name of the
Doyen method of applying electricity
to cancerous tissues. 1t is the most
thorough system of treating the dis
ease, as electrical currents can pene-
trate and kill the growth in a manner
not permissible with the surgeons
knife. The current as applied is ar
ranged specially for this kind Of work.
So delicate are the instruments used
that they have to be Theoretically seal
ed to prevent their injury while the
room is being fumigated after an OPP
GRAFTON.
The vaccine used in the case today
was supplied by Professor Doyen from
his laboratory in Paris. 1t was COM
posed of observation-disclosures which
is one of the bacteria found in all can
cerous growths, and is believed by DOy-
en- to be the cause OF the taking on of
new growth. The patient will be vac
cinated hypodermically with antitoXin
for six months following the operation
and at that time the treatment will be
dispensed with, provided the growth
shows no signs of returning.
Three years has been the time limit
set by the best surgeons of the world
for a recurrence of cancerous growth
after removal, and as that time limit
has passed with non.appearance of the
growths in several operations perform
ed by him, Professor Doyen has re-
ported to the French Academy of Sur
gerry that he has such absolute conf
dence in his method of treating the
disease that he practically is assured
OF its absolute success.

To Open Dakota Land.

Washington Dec. S.-Chairman
Burke, of the Indian committee. in
troduced bills opening Bennett coun-
ty, in the Pine Ridge reservation, and
Mellette county, in the Rosebud res.
ervation, to settlement. These bills
affect about 100000 acres, being
some of the most desirable lands In
the state. The new features in these
bills drafted by Mr.. Burke reserve
certain timber lands and ten acres
in each townste for public purposes.
He also provides that twenty per cent
of the proceeds from the sale of the
lands be set apart for the construc-
ton of school houses and other pub
lie buildings.
Mr.. Burke also introduced bill
amending the Burke act of 1906 by
changing the practice of administering
Indian estates in probate courts. The
bill provides that the proceeds from
the sale of inherited lands may be
expended or invested by the secretary
of the interior as he may determine
to the best interests of the Indians.
1t makes it unlawful for cattle or
other live stock purchased to be sold
except under the regulations of the in
terror department. Another provision
makes it unlawful to negotiate for the
purchase of any Indian allotment or
the taking of any deed or contract af-
fecting the same before the issuance
of patenting fee.
