DEPARTMENT RULING
EAvORS HOMESTEADERS

Lamro, s. D., Sept. 18.-Ever since
a tract of nearly 1000, 900 acres OF land
formerly belonging to the Rosebud In
dian reservation in Trip county was
opened TO white settlement there q
been the most bitter feeling between
the homesteaders and white owners OF
cattle who had been grazing their herds
of cattle on the land, in accordance
with agreements entered into with the
Indians, with the consent of the Indian
bureau officials at Washington. The
settlers have steadily maintained that
the herds had no right on the ceded
lands, and his view now has been con-
firmed by the authorities Of the interior
department, who hold that all grazing
leases in the coded portion Of Trip
county expired in June OF last year, n
that the cattlemen who have agree
ments with the Indians have had no
rights In the coded portion of Trip
county since that time. In view Of this,
IL the cattlemen continue to disregard
the rights OF tile homesteaders by per-
hitting their cattle to continue to roam
over the ceded lands, they will be de-
clared common trespassers and will be
prosecuted under the laws OF South Da-
kota.

ginning of the present drawing for the

Der of "squatters" have taken a long
chance by setting up their shacks on

go upon the lands which will evidently
be left vacant after the present draw
ing is over, and among them are some.
who are planning extensive improve

will have prior right to h land.
An opinion from the interior depart

OPERATE sAWMiLL
ON OPEN PRAIRIE

LIE Beau, S. d., Sept. Exchanges in
the bed of the Missouri river have rem
dered homeless many persons in times
past, yet the vagaries of the stream
bring wealth daily to the door of the
Springfield brothers, who are located
near lie Beau, across the Missouri from
the Cheyenne Indian reservation, about

In seeking out new beds, through
which TO flow, the river often passes
through land heavily timbered. Great
cottonwoods and other standing trees
are uprooted and carried upon the
foods.
The Springfield brothers got hold, of
an idea. Knowing that the price OF
lumber in a prairie country was very
high, they conceived the idea of resc,i-
ing these waits or the Forest and cut
ting them up for mercantile stuff.
In pursuance OF their idea they hired
Indians to get out in skiffs in high wa
ter and tow all the big driftwood to
some convenient sandbar, where 1t is
anchored until the Hood has subsidized.
Then the logs are RATED and towed to
a little inlet where a portable sawmiIl
has been set up.

STUDENT RETURNS
TO READ OBITUARY

Yankton, Sept. 16.-This city is fully
alive this fall. IL never before, to its
advantages in being a college town, as
the steady stream of students for reg
istration day has eclipsed all previous
years and the year ahead appears TO
be a most successful one. The addi-
ton OF some big fellows for the foot
ball team is pleasing the athletic di-
rector, especially the return of Carl
Nelson. who was reported drowned last
umfner at Reliance. and who got
some complimentary advance writeups
from the local papers. Carl refused
TO stay drowned and his return caused
a decided sensation and n member
OF the faculty was quite overcome
while many of the girls were sure Carl
was a ghost. He explained II was the
other fellow who was drowned and was
then allowed to register.
Friends here are elated over the sue
cess OF Miss Amy ElIerrnan, who went
10 Chicago 10 study vocal instru-
mental music. The first thing the
young musician did was TO win yer
a large class a place In the quartet 0.
the Pilgrim congregational church,
winning simply by her grand voice, a
very rich and deep eontralto. This Is
Or. Hopkins church and a place ia the
choir. and quartet at that. OF this fash :
ionable church Is a distinction Well
| worth the securing.

AOUAPLANE IS THE
NEWEST INVENTION
FOR RAPID TRAVEL
South Dakota Man Thinks He
Has a World Beaten Either
on Wheels or Water.

Pierre, S. D., Sept. 1s. Judge S. M
Howard, of Gettysburg, announces that
he has completed the model for his
new aquaplane, which Is to possess
qualities both OF water and land traVei,
and in water navigation has the ad-
vantage of rapid movement and prac-
teal work in shallow water. He claims
for it a possible speed by water of Az
to so miles an hour, with capacity for
doing a freight as well as passenger
business.
Judge Howard is now engaged in
manufacturing one OF his standard
size aquaplanes, which will be % feet
long by 5 feet wide. equipped with
gasoline motor, and as 0 o as COM
pleted he will put it on the Missouri
at Forest City nj undertake TO show
its ability to break all records for long
distance water travel. He claims for
his aquaplane the distinct advantage
of running over sandbars without get
ting hung up or even decreasing Its
speed ~perceptibly, as 1t will be equipped
with broad-tired wheels of the cushion
variety and the power of the motor
can be easily shifted from the water
propellers TO the land gear"

was travelling in the west, and they
were married there.
Mr.. Burns recently met with business
reverses and the prospect of a separa-

a boy of 8, preyed on Mrs. Burns mind
SO that she determined . end her life.
