Is composed of Prominent Business
PeopIe-Everyone can take stock
and Be Benefited;

Believing there is an excellent field
here, a number of prominent business
men have organized building and
loan association capitalized at $500, 900
and expect to be in shape for the
translation of business by January L.
The charter arrived Tuesday from the
office OF the secretary of state. The
incorporators are Allen Bros, James

Z, NJ. Rugg, Tom Sweeney, v. T..

and A. K. Thomas. The corporation
stock is divided into 5000 shares of
800 each and the new concern will be
known as the Black Hills Building
and Loan association, organized in
accord with chapter twenty-six of the
statutes of South Dakota, which
makes special provision for the forma-
ton of companies of this nature.
The object OF the association may
be succinctly stated as a means to en-
courage thrift among the people, as
sist in saving money, building homes
and in various ways benelitting the
community. Money is loaned share
holders and the membership con-
templates all persons who desire
to enter, and all Of the share
holders are stockholders in the associ
tion. The affairs are conducted by
the usual executive officers, but there
are no salaries to any of them except
those OF secretary and treasurer,
which are nominal. The board of di.
rectors will consist of five practical

stockholders. When elected at a
meeting to be called Of all interested
this board will consist of one director
for one year, two for two years anc

LIVELY times
over SITE
Trip County has Trouble
Locating County Seat
on Railroad.
PROMOTERS OF many new TOWNS BOB UP
Business Men of Lamro Refuse to
Assist Promoters and Seek to
Move the Old Town.

Judged purely by reports, there is a
lively time on for the people of Trip
county over the location of several
new towns. Report has it that since
the opening of lands to settlement last
spring and the announcement of the
direction to be taken by the Chicago
& Northwestern road through the
county, several town sites have been
proposed. The new road from Dallas
to the northwest misses the old town
of Lamro about two miles. Jackson
Bros. of Dallas, townsite promoters,
have plated a tract on the railroad
with provisional agreement that If
the town grows to sufficient size to
warrant it a depot will be located. In
addition to this they have three other
town sites under similar agreement
along the road, designated as Winner,
Jordan and Carter. Winner is the
rival of the old town of Lamro and it
was supposed that business people of
the latter would move to the new To-
cation. Jackson Bros. Claim to be
working under a shadow Of railroad
authority In locating Winner, while
the people of Lamro claim to have
quietly investigated and found the
promoters claim exaggerated, being
only provisional contract on which
they must make good or lose the pos
sibility Of depot.
Accepting this view of the situation
the people of Lamro have thrown out
a challenge and refused to negotiate
in any way with promoters. All of
the business people of Lamro have
signed an agreement to stick together
and locate an independent town on
the railroad one mile west of Winner,
to be called Lamro, inhabited by the
people now at the old town. AS Lamro
is the geographic center of the county
and has the honor of being the county
seat, arrangements are under negotia-
tion to incorporate not only the neces-
sary townsite but strip of land l0C
feet wide connecting the old and new
locations Of the town. This is being
done to prevent technical troubles
over the removal of the court house.
The site for the new town has been
purchased of Slaughter 8 Sheppard OF
Dallas.
The action taken by the people OF
Lamro, it is claimed, will put a crimp
in the number of new towns proposed
along the, railroad. The promoters
hope the turmoil over the location OF
the county seat town may, tend to
cause change in the route to be
4 taken by the railway. 1t is therefore
strongly limited that this is posi-
bility and that the road may yet
adopt an old survey four miles north
4 of the old town of Lanro.

been his speciality and his records show
1854 cases of abdominal surgery with

peculiarly fortunate to show such, a

New York, Dec. 2l-Cook tonight is

RESERVATIONS GOING FAST
The Proposed Legislative Measure
Will Dispose of them in
Short Time.

Philip Review: When South Da-
5kota became state in 1889, practic-
ally half it's territory was Indian res
ervation. 1t is now predicted that
within ten years there will be no res
!ervation within the boundaries of the
state. The elimination of the reserves
has been a slow process, but moves
more rapidly now that the question Of
treaty consent of the Indians is no
longer a part of the process. The
first move to climate the reserves,
after statehood, was in opening Of a
large part OF the territory west of the
Missouri between Pierre and the Black
Hills and in Meade and Perkins coun-
ties north of the hills. This was fol-
lowed by the elimination of the
Yankton reservation in Charles Mix
county; that by the Sisseton reserve
In the northeast corner Of the state;
and later the opening of a portion Of
the Grow Creek reserve in parts of
Hand, Hyde and Hughes counties.
Then came the sensational opening of
Gregory county, the first break in the
line Of reservation along the southern
boundary Of the state. This was fol-
lowed by the opening Of asmall strip
Of the Lower Brule reserve in Stanley
and Lyman counties. Then the Tripp
county opening which further reduced
the Rosebud reservation. And the
last move which wiped out large
part Of Cheyenne River and Standing
Rock reservations in the northern
lpart Of the state west of the Missouri.
All those different moves have left
but one compact territory OF any great
Iextent yet within reservation bounda.

Kendell Martin Breaks ThrO-

Pond Sunday.
TWO OTHERS NARROWLY ESCAPE DROWNING
Schneider Boys Make Heroic Efforts
to Save Drowning Boy-Have
Close Call Themselves.

Kendell Martin was drowned Sun
day afternoon while skating on the
pond maintained by the electric light
company. He, in company with two
sons Of George Schneider, had gone to
the pond for an afternoons enjoyment
and soon the three were INDUCING in
the exhilerating exercise. The ice
was not as safe as it appeared and
gave away under their weight. The
smaller Schneider boy scrambled out
and ran to the hank where he secured
a long stick. This he held out to the
others and his brother succeeded in
getting out with his aid. In trying
to rescue their companion the eldest
Schneider boy again slipped into the
water This time the little fellow
untouched his skates, fastened the
straps together and was again able to
rescue his brother. Efforts were again
put forth to save young Martin, but
by this time he was too chilled to
grasp the strap although it was within
his reach and he is believed to have
been taken with cramps.
The eldest Schneider boy, realizing
they could not save their companion,
ran for help, but it was too late. The
body disappeared under the ice and
the efforts to find it We're unayai1ing
until Monday forenoon when the
treacherous pond gave UP it's dead.
The body was in an upright position
near where it sank. The pond main
tanned by the company varies in depti
from ten to fifteen feet and as the
water is frequently withdrawn anc
the pond refilled the ice isnever really
safe, but this the boys did not realize
when they went upon it, there being
nothing to indicate but whatit was
safe and sound.
