Will Open in 1903

1t is expected that the Standing Rocl
Indian reservation. located southeast Of
here. will be opened the latter part Of
the present year. The Hettinger Head
light says:
Frank A. Brown of Aberdeen, who
recently went to Washington as a repre-
sentative of the Aberdeen Commercial
Club. to consult with the congressional
delegation in regard to the date for open
ing the Standing Rock Indian reserva-
ton has returned and declares that pros
poets are good for having the opening
set for some time during the present
year.
MI. Brown gave out the following
interview: MANY of the western
papers have been publishing a story
from Wakpala to the effect that the
Standing Rock opening cannot be had
until October 1910. The fact is that
there is good prospect of the resistra-
ton drawing being held in the fall of
1909, and the land thrown open to
settlement in the spring of 1910. All of
our congressional delegation are united
on this proposition. the Indian bureau
favors it and gives assurance that it's
part of the work will be accomplished
in ample time and the general land
Office sees no reason now why the plan
canno be realized. There is no time
to be vested but there is ample opp Or
tunity to accomplish the desired results.
The Wakpala correspondent is also
mistaken when he says of the Indian
allotments, that No land is left within
six miles of the Milwaukee railway
Inquiry at the. Indian office at Wash
ington reveals the fact that 81 per cent
of all the land within six miles of
the railroad will be open for home
steads as the Indians have selected but
43 percent within that strip, and that
strip embraces the most of their selec-
ton.
From this it would appear that there
are about eleven hundred quarter Sec
tions within six miles of the Mil
waukee tracks. Outside of that strip
there will be enough claims to make
n of the largest openings ever made
by the government. !.

A New Drug Store

Rumor has IL that new drug
store is about TO be established In
this town. Whether another one Is
necessary here or not must be deter
mined by the projectors. Competi-
ton is said TO be the life OF trade.
However, this town certainly needs
some enterprise To give people
employment, else the working class
es will not be able to buy meat and
bread, let alone anything else. 1t Is
a striking fact that every new thing
started here within the last ten years
has been somt thing To consume In
stead of create revenues. Let the
new drug store come along, but why
not somebody put money into some
thing that will give employment to
the idle, and increase the ability OF
the people to buy drugs. meat and
bread, shoes and clothes?
n new drug stoIc, or IA new gro.
Gerry or dry COOS store, bank, another
lawyer, doctor, or two, all might
live here, and possibly do well, but
would create only competition, and
perhaps reduce prices, but competi-
ton cannot create customers, or add
to the buying capacity of the popu-
lation. But, what's the use TO talk
or write? The town seems TO be eter-
nally set i'm It's ways.

A cattle TICK that has reached the
engorged stage weighs about five
grains, and about / 800 such tic =

region often carry many thousands
of these blood sucking parasites, and
ms each tick during the period of its
attachment TO an animal draws
considerably more than its own
weight In blood, IL can he seen that
these ticks constitute an enormous
drain onthe cattle which they in
fest. This accounts for the fncts
that under such conditions IL is i'm
possible TO fatten cattle even on rich
pasture and with an abundance of
good feed. a large part of the nour-
ishment that should go toward pro-
ducing beef and mill Is consumed by
the ticks. In addition To the loss
OF blood and nourishment there Is
the never ceasing Irritation caused
by the ticks, so that the existence
OF the infested cattle Is beset with
continuous suffering, aud this of
course also tends To keep them i'm

BARN BURNED

Mr.. J. b. f. Gillespie lost his
barn and contents by fire on Tuesday
evening, between six and eight
o'clock. The barn, situated near
his house, contained quite lot of
hay and other things, including his
horses, wagons and other tools.
The teams and wagons and about
one hundred bushels of corn in a
nearby crib, were saved.
The origin of the fire is mystery
When first discovered the hay in a
far corner or end of the barn was
ablaze, and it burned so rapidly
that no attempt was made TO extin-
guish it. There being no ire plug III
that vicinity. water was available
only from the well in the yard. The
wind was favorable, otherwise it
would have been almost impossible
to have saved the dwelling house,
and perhaps other residences in the
neighborhood. The loss is said to be
about 81, 900, partially covered by
insurance.
1t developed after the fire that sew
eral of Mr.. Gillepsie's fine prize
game chickens were burned in the
barn.

What Would You Do In Case of
Fire?

The fire on Tuesday, night brings
up the question, has Tazewell any,
thing in the way of an organized
fire company? This is the season OF
fires, and should the occasion arise
an organized company OF some
sort is almost as necessary as water.
There ought to be some organization
and understanding what TO do and
how TO fight should a fire break out
the whereabouts of wrenchcs, hose
reel, the location of fire plugs, etc.
To get there, and turn OH a stream
OF water at once, almost any fire can
be checked and controlled. Some
years ago Tazewell had a fine squad
OF volunteer firemen, who were WILL
ing, and always prompt TO. respond
to any call at any time, day or night.
To prepare for war In times of peace
Is wisdom, and the matter should be
looked into.

LITTLE TRIAL SET
FOR NOVEMBER Is
Man Indicted For Sextuple
Murder at Hurley-Taze-
welLawyers in the Case

In the circuit court of Buchanan
county, at Grundy, on Tuesday,
Howard Little, the alleged sextuple
murderer, was indicted, the grand
jury reported true bill, charging
him with having murdered Mrs. Bet
sic Justis, her son in law, George
Meadows, his wife, and their three
children, whose dead bodies were
found in the ruins of their home at
Hurley about two months ago, and
with having set fire TO the house TO
destroy the evidences of the crime.
The grand jury's action has ocaa
stoned no excitement at Grundy, or
any othre parts of the county, and
the people seem 90 be satisfied with
the course pursued by the court.
Little is still in the Lebanon
Jail, where he was taken when ar
rested, and the date set for taking
him back TO Grundy has not been
made known.
Bert L. Wilson, OF Russell coun-
ty, who has been retained by Little,
states that the trial will not be gone
into until next week, and if there
appears any evidence that the citi-
zens OF Buchanan county will take
the law i'm their hands and lnych
the man, that Governor Swanson
will be asked for troops to protect
him and see that he has n legal
trial. Governor Swanson has indicat-
ed that he will send troops as soon
as they are needed
According TO the BluefieId Tele-
graph, the Virginia troops, If they
are used, will come 10 BluefeId, and
there await the arrival of Little, who
will be taken there from Lebanon,
over the Clinch Valley. From here
they will go TO Devon and up Knox
Creek, the nearest route to Grundy.
This will nceessitate the operation
of troops in West Virginia for the
most part, and there is some specula-
tion as TO whether the governor will
do this, or send the troops on to
await Little and those having him
in charge on the state line. The fact
that Little has 10 cross the state line
several times and travel many miles
in West Virginia, unless he is march
ed through the country from Leba-
non to Grundy, brings to mind the
danger OF mob on West Virginia
territory, and ii is pointed out that
should mob cross into West Vir-
ginia, take Little from the officers
and string him up ii would be next
TO impossible for this state TO appre-
hend or punish those who violate
the laws of West Virginia.
