1888 Of First 1000 Drop Out.

Gregory, S. d.. April 16.--The filings
passed the 1000 mark for Trip county
lands, and out of that number 1888
have failed to respond when their
numbers were called. When the price
Of these lands, SO an acre, is taken
into consideration, this is the greatest
record ever made by the government
in disposing of lands under the lottery
system, less than one-fifth of the first
thousand dropping out of line.

No. 800 Dead When Time Came.

Gregory, S. D., April 17.-Since
passing the 1000 mark. the percentage
of those failing to file for Trip county
lands is increasing rapidly. Out of the
first 1000, only 1873 failed to respond
when their numbers were called, but
passing that point, only so filed out
of the $50 called, and there will be
ever greater falling off in the next
$50, as 1t is considered that there are
not to exceed 1900 to 1.400 desirable
claims outside Of the Indian allot-
ments, that is, claims that are worth
Sc an acre and the wear and tear Of
long residence.
One of the pathetic incidents of the
filing was that of Purley N. Richard
son of Elgin, Neb., who drew No. 500
and Immediately engaged his locator
and made all arrangements to begin
residence on a homestead. Three
days before the time for filing, word
was received from his father that the
young man was very i'll of pneumonia
and unable to be present on the day
specified. and pleading that his sons
right might be maintained for sixty
days. A few minutes before the call
ing of his number a telegram was
handed to Judge Witten saying, in eff
feet, that No. 500 would never claim
his right, that Purley Richardson was
dead.

A Perilous Trip.
Sensation In Wall Street.

New York, April ia sensation
was created by announcement that Re
ceiver Lindsay Russell Of the failed
brokerage firm of Ennis & Stoppanf
had obtained an order from Judge Bolt
summoning Senator Patrick H. Nc.
Carron, the well known democratic
reader, to testify next Tuesday at the
bankruptcy hearing and produce such
books, records, and documents as may
be required. The summons was based
on the alleged discovery of expert ac-
countants that one OF several blind
accounts, entered as mo. $780, was
that Of Senator McCarron, who had for
years past been close personal friend
of both members of the firm. "Ac-
count No. $780," is was stated, was
very active and 1t also showed that the
man operating under it was indebted
to the firm over 100000 The fact
that members of several New York
stock exchange firms have also been
subpoenaed to appear at the bank
ruptcy proceedings caused a stir in
the financial district.

Prairies to be Planted.

Pierre. s. d., April 19.-Travelers
on the line between here and Huron
say that there are fully 100 power
breaking outfits to be seen from the
train between the two towns. This
means that there will be an immense
amount of prairie sod turned over this
year, and while a part of this will be
planted to corn, most of 1t will be put
into fax, which will mean the heaviest
crop Of that grain ever raised in this
part of the state. While the weather
conditions have not been very favor
able to seeding operations, every fit
day has been taken advantage Of, 1hd
a large part of the seeding of small
grain is done. But the small grain
crops which were looked upon as the
staples of the Missouri valley for
years are now being used only as a
side issue of the main crops of corn,
flax and alfalfa, which are taking the
lead, as they are looked upon as more
profitable crops than wheat. While
the weather delayed the seeding, it
was not allowed to interfere with the
work of the breaking outfits, and the
amount of sod which will be turned
over this year in this part of the
state will be largely in excess of the
acreage in any one year since the set

Ruling Eavors Saloons.

Watertown, s. d., April ia de-
cision of great interest to the saloon
men of South Dakota was handed
down by Judge George III. Marquis of
the Sixth judicial circuit. The ruling
holds that 1t is not necessary to have
a majority of all the electors OF a
town or city in order to issue liquor
license, but that a majority of all
voters who register at the polls and
cast ballot is sufficient.
The case came up from Goodwin, a
small town near here. There we're
eighty-six votes cast, forty-five of
which were for license. Temperance
people brought an action to enjoin the
town board from issuing a license on
the ground that forty-fve was not
majority of all the qualified electors
of the precinct. The court held that
the only basis upon which the number
of qualified electors" could be de-
termined was upon the number OF
voters who registered at the polls on
the day of the election.
The decision also holds that a blank
ballot upon the liquor question is a
vote against license, thereby declar-
Ing that license must have a majority
Of all votes cast in order to win.

Gasoline Price Cut.

Watertown, s. D., April 19.-As the
direct result of law passed by the
1909 legislature the Standard Oil COM
pany today announced a reduction of
2 cents per gallon on gasoline in
South Dakota. The new law admits
into the state for sale a lower test
gasoline than formerly. This gaso-
line is refined from western crude
oil, and the reduction is largely due
to the decreased cost in transporting
1t to South Dakota points. 1t is con-
tended that the lower test oil pro-
duces more heat to the gallon, and
that it therefore gives more heat,
light or power to the gallon. The
company says that hereafter it does
not intend to sell the high test oil in
South Dakota except upon special
orders.

DEATHS FROM HUNTING.
Seven Nebraskans Lost Lives as Re.
suit Of CareIessness.

OWL " SdTSicSoUCSo.
Omaha, April 19.-Seven young men
dead from the careless handling of
guns. That is the spring record for
Nebraska up to the time of the close
of the season for hunting ducks. The
open season for Nebraska ducks
closed on April Is. Besides those
killed, there nave been numerous &C
cidents reported whereby both men
and boys lost eyes and limbs and were

year the open season for accidents
with guns opened on March 1, and so
far as reported closed on April 10.
In all cases where parties have been
killed, the victims have been under
twenty-one years of age, indicating
that old hunters are more careful in
the handling of firearms than are
those Of less mature years.
Here follows the list of Nebraska
fatalities:
Sylvester Cozad, of Curtis; shot by
a companion while hunting ducks.
William Ham, of Curtis; gun explod.
ed while hunting ducks and geese and
was instantly killed.

HILLS TRAIN LOAD POLICY.
Scheme Proves a Failure on BurTing
ton Lines.


Omaha, April 19.-The train load"
policy the pet theory of James ]. Hill,
which he inaugurated on the BurIfng-
ton railroad when he obtained control
of that system, has proven a failure.
and, beginning Immediately, that rail-
road will return to the old policy Of
running shorter trains and at more
frequent intervals than has been done
for the past five years. Orders In ac-
cordance with the return Of the old
policy are now being prepared for dis
tribution over the system.
The train load policy made famous
by Mr.. Hill is simplicity itself and is,
briefly, as follows:
Don't move freight train until the
locomotive has every pound OF
freight behind it that it is capable of
pulling"
When the time arrived for the de-
parture of freight train from ter
minal point, unless that train had
every ounce of freight the locomotive
was capable of hauling it was held I'M
III uiOIc 1ItlSut was IcCSlSSu.
II a freight car with capacity of
so. 900 pounds was being loaded at
Omaha for Spokane, and there were
only $4,000 pounds of freight, that car
was sidetracked and held in the Oma-
ha yards until another ton of freight
for Spokane was received. Sometimes
that extra ton came Immediately;
sometimes It was several days or even
a week or two in showing up. But
the car was held at the originating
point until that last ton was received.
In local freight business this rule
worked special hardships on the mer-
chants in the smaller towns, who were
compelled to wait from ten
days to two weeks for goods which
should have been delivered within
twenty-four hours.
"Kicks" were unavailing. The
orders came direct from headquarters
and must be obeyed.
But after explaining to the railroad
and securing no relief, ship
pers grew weary and in time began
making complaints to the Nebraska
state railroad commission. This body
has not yet acted In the matter, but

SCENT COIN CONv|CTS HIM
Edward Gay Found Guilty Of South
Dakota Postoffice Robbery.

l CdNotd FOStoIHCe hODDery.
Sioux Falls. s. D.. April Especial
to The News: A jury in the United
States court which tried the case of
Edward Gay, alias Fred K Moore and
Gus Peterson, charged with the rob-
berry of the postoffice at Crooks on the
night of December last, returned a
verdict acquitting Peterson but con-
victing Gay. The conviction of Gay
was secured through his having in his
possession when arrested a Canadian
was among the cash stolen from the
postoffice. The postmaster identified
the coin, and thus the little five-cent
piece was directly responsible for the
conviction of Gay, as the entire case
against him hinged upon the coin.
Peterson will not be given his liberty
because he was acquitted in this case,
as he yet is under indictment on other
charges in connection with the rob.
berry of postoffices at other places in
South Dakota.
Charles Looking Back, Sioux war;
rior, was convicted by jury on the
charge of introducing liquor into that
part of the Standing Rock reservation
which extends into South Dakota.
William Jefferson and Harry Smith,
tried on the charge of selling liquor
to Indians on the Cheyenne River
reservation, were acquitted. A ver-
dict of acquittal also was returned by
the Jury in the case of Thomas Rain
bow, who was tried on the charge of
introducing liquor into the Rosebud
reservation.
Perhaps the most interesting case
to be tried during the present term of
United States court will be called for
trial at O'Clock this morning. The
case is that of Arson Wagar, formerly
United States commissioner at Dallas,
who will be tried on an indictment
charging him with having embezzled
trust funds to the amount of $2,680.37
which had been placed in his hands
by homesteaders with which to pay the |
purchase price of their lands.
The trial Of the case, it is expected, |
will extend over several days, as every |
inch will be stoutIy contested both by |
the government and by the attorneys
for the defendant Wagar will be de- |
Tended by Aikens & Judge, of Sioux |
Falls, while the prosecution will be
conducted by United States Attorney
Wagner and Assistant Attorney
Porter.
