Calls Sem Down.

In an open letter to E. l.. Sem, pub
Usher of the Deadwood Daily Tele-
gram and string of papers through
the state, Judge Loomis S. Gull, of
Rapid City, Register of the United
States land office, and well known
progressive, takes the editor to task
for his refusal to support Congressman
Martin and Burke in the coming
November election. Judge Gull declares
that he did not vote for those nomi-
nees for congress in the primaries, but
that their majorities of over 1000
clearly demonstrated that the people of
the state preferred them, and that they
are entitled to the full vote of both
factions of the republican party in this
state irrespective of the stalwart-pro-
gressive fight. He cites the fact that
the victory at the primaries of both
congressman was far more emphatic
than that of Gov. Vessey, who was
renominated by 1900 by the progress
i've, and declares that Editor Sem is
not speaking for the progressive wher
he declines to support the congress
men.

New Church District.

A new district has been created for
the Methodist churches in western part
of the state next month. Rev. r. H.
Deliver, a brother of United States
Senator j. P. Deliver, of Iowa, is at
present the district superintendent for
the Black Hills but found that he had
too much to attend to, so he will
be given charge of the southern
part of the Black Hills and the country
east of that to the Missouri river.
Rev. Hugh Hay, now pastor of the
local Methodist church at Deadwood, is
to be the new district superintendent
he having jurisdiction over the north
ern hills and the section north and east
of Deadwood to the North Dakota
boundary and east to the river. He
will be succeeded in Deadwood by Rev.
Edwards, of Ottawa, Iowa, as pastor
of the local church.

Raised Cheap Horses.

Paul Bianchi, of Pierre, has recently
learned that he is much better off than
he supposed. Eleven years ago he
turned ten mares on the free range
under care of rancher. In a short
time they had disappeared and he gave
them up for lost. A few days ago a
man from upper White river came in
to find out about the brand, saying he
knew of the location of herd of about
a hundred head of horses carrying that
brand. 1t appears that on the annual
round-ups the colts had been given the
same brand as the mares they were
following and as result the brand has
increased and Paul has men out trying
to find out just how much more he is
worth than he thought he was.

Try to Stop Illegal Grazing.

Following the numerous warnings of
prosecution, Forest Supervisor Kelleter
of the Black Hills national forest, has
taken the initiative in preventing
sheepmen from grazing their stock on
the reserve by causing the arrest of
John Matson, sheep herder near Cold
creek, employed by VIM. Mexican, of
Newcastle, Wyo. Matson was brought
to Deadwood and arraigned before
United States Commissioner Moore and
held in $500 bail for the federal court
there next month. Matson was arrested
for violating the federal statute pro-
viding against the grazing of sheep on
tho reserves. According to the super
visor, he was driven from the reserve
four times before he was arrested. and
since July over 90 900 sheep have been
driven off the reserve. Both herders
and owners have been notified that the
forestry officials are determined to
uphold the law pending the appeal of
the sheep owners to the Washington
authorities to be permitted to Craze
sheep this fall on the reserve owing to
the drought this summer in that sec
ton.

covered some time ago and the concrete
work repaired, but the same thing
occurred again. Careful investigation
and analysis of the water led to the
conclusion that the alkali was res
ponsible, for the crumbling only
occurred where the water runs over
the concrete or stood on it a couple of
inches deep. The entire outer layer or
finishing coat of concrete was eaten off.
The experts are of the opinion that
when the water is turned in from the
Belle Fourche river and the rain and
snow water swells the volume, that it
will cause the alkali to be more evenly
distributed and will stop the eroding.
The dam is one and quarter mile
long, l22 feet at its highest point, and
contains 800, 900 bubic feet of earth.

Five to One at Plankinton

Five Plankinton men, alleged men,
bers of a mob, were arrested on the
charge of making an attack upon an
individual giving his name as bill"
Mcbride, stranger in Plankinton.
The inception of the trouble was fight
between Mcbride and David Sewell, a
Plankinton man. Sewell is alleged to
have been badly beaten by his antagon-
list. In revenge he is alleged to have
summoned to his aid four of his friends
and the five combined are alleged to
have mobbed Mcbride, who was badly
beaten and rendered all but unconscious.
In addition to the beating received at
the hands of the five men, Mcbride

Plenty of Teachers This Year

The papers of the July teachers
examinations have all been marked by
the state marking board. They show
1,546 applicants of which 93S were
granted certificates and COS failed to
get through. This is better percen-
tage of certificates than has been
secured for examinations earlier in the
year, and one feature of the situation
is that where Summer schools" were
held, the percentage of successful
applicants runs high. Such schools
were held in Yankton, Mitchell and
Huron.
From the number of credentials of
teachers from other states, who are
submitting their majority to secure
state certificates here, and who are
asking for places in the city schools,
there is not likely to be any shortage
of teachers for such schools in the
state, and from the number of success
full applicants at the July election, the
probabilities are that the country
schools will be fairly well supplied.
The department gives one of the
reasons for so many failures in the
papers sent in as carelessness of county
superintendent in handling of credits
to the applicants from former exami-
nations.

Paid for Chicken.

Game Warden Mount, of Grant
county, pinched his first victim for
violation of the game laws last Tuesday
in the person of Robert Hensel, who
was brought before Justice Stats on
a charge of hunting without license,
and unlawfully killing prairie chickens.
His honor thought that about $25 and
the court costs, amounting in all to
$31 would be needed to fix up the
broken law, and the defendant
acouiesced. At this gait the next fell

Kun Over by a Traiu.

Peter Gallagher, switchman on the
Milwaukee at Mobridge was run over
in the Mobridge yards Monday morning
at 3 o'clock and had both legs severely
mangled, one foot being taken off,
while the other is in a critical condition.
He was fastened to Aberdeen on a
special train, reaching there at 9 o'clock
and was taken to st. Luke's hospital,
where he is under surgical care.
Gallagher was riding on footboord
on the pilot of switch engine through
the yards, when one end of the board
caught on an upright switch. Immedi-
ately the man was thrown off, and his
feet went under the engine. The flow
of blood was stopped and the wounds
hurriedly dressed while the special was
made up for Aberdeen.
The injured man is a stranger in
South Dakota, and his home is in
Bangor, Me. He is unmarried and
about "a years of age. His legs were
run over above the ankle and while one
of his feet is still retained, there is
little chance but that too, will have to
be removed.

Indian Religious Meeting.

Over two thousand Indians from the
reservations at Sisseton, Standing Rock
Cheyenne, Grow Creek, Lower Brule,
Pine Ridge and Santee met at Green
wood, near the Yankton agency, for
the annual religious gathering of the
Episcopal church, over which Bishop
Johnson presided. The meetings were
in session daily until Monday night.
One of the sad features was the
absence of Bishop Hare, who has been
meeting with the Indians in their
annual conventions the past thirty
years, and ceremony was held in
memory of the deceased bishop, who
was loved and esteemed very highly by
the Indians.
