for the contract were: Central States
Bridge company, Minneapolis Bridge
and Iron company, Canton Bridge Co.,
Continental Bridge company, Henne-
pin Bridge company, Rapid City, Black

new BOARD
IS CHOSEN
Business Mems Club Held a
Good Session on Mon
day Evening.
A REPORT OF YEARS. WORK WAS PRESENTED
A New Board of Directors to be in
Charge during 1e1o-Much Work
to be taken up.

Considering the inclement weather,
an excellent meeting of the Rapid
City Business Mems Club was held
Monday evening in the rooms on
Seventh street. 1t was the annual
meeting and an effort was put forth
to have everyone present who is inter-
ested in promoting the interests of
the city. The meeting was called to
order by DIR. T. N. Emrick, president
of the club, who outlined the financial
status. He first read statement of
receipts dating over the year 1909,
from January l, which aggregated
S1,83454, inclusive of all dues paid and
the special collection. The expendi-
lures for this period were S1,371.85,
itemized as follows: Fuel, $3.50; tel
ephone, S51.Oo: advertising, s263.90;
janitor, $1O3.70; light, Sl4S.00; rent,
$75O.O0; miscellaneous expenditures,
S29.35. This leaves in the treasury
s462.69. A year ago there was deficit
of nearly $4OO, when the board of 1909
took charge. DIR. Emrick then stated
there is now membership of fifty
eight in good standing, and that while
the board had perhaps not done all it
might have, it had accomplished much
considering the circumstances. Be-
tween 400 and 500 letters were received
during the year, all of which had been
answered. Efforts were put forth to
secure the location Of factories and
industries which would employ labor
and bring something of financial
worth to the city. Manufacturing es-
Establishments are the hardest to locate
in any place. They must know to a
certainty what's coming in dollars
and cents, while professional interests
are not so inclined. 1t is believed,
however, work has been done which
will show benefits during the. coming
year. As noted by the financial re-
port, nothing has been paid out for a

MANY LAWLESS
INDIANS There:
Sisseton Sioux Indians Have
Heap Big" Appetite for
Strong Drink.
EACH HAS TAKEN HIS ALLOTMENT IN FULL
Sisseton Dispatch tells of Problem
being Dealt with on ARency-tells
of Former Troubles.

A dispatch from the Sisseton Indian
agency says that serious problem
confronts those who are in charge of
the Sisseton Sioux Indians, due to the
decentralization which has resulted
from many Of the Indins being affiict-
ed with an overpowering desire for
strong drink. AS these Indians have
all taken their allotments of land they
have the same standing as white men
and there is no way, except by moral
suasion, to prevent them from drink
ing liquor to excess
Since the year 1892 five murders
have been committed as the result of
over-indulgence in liquor by these
Indians. The guilty parties in each
case were arrested, but the outcome
of their trials also has contributed
materially to the Generalization Of
the drinking Indians, as only one con-
viction resulted, this being largely re-
sponsible for the small value reckless
Indians place upon human life. In
four of the murder trials there were
acquittals. In one case, that of an
Indian named Flute, the jury returned
verdict Of guilty and the defendant
now is serving life term in the Sioux
Falls penitentiary.
Had Flute killed one of his own
race it is probable that he, too, would
have been acquitted, but it happened
that he killed two white men, and
both of them in one day. One of his
victims fled for his life and was chased
a distance Of half a mile. The mur.
derer shot him repeatedly before kill.
ing him. In the case of the Indians
who were acquitted as the result ol
being tried on the charge of murder
the evidence appeared to conclusively
prove the guilt of the accused.
In the opinion of those who keep ir
close touch with the situation, it vel
will be necessary to hang some of tn,
more lawless Indians when they com
nit murder before the other reckles
redskins will have proper regard 70
human life. The government put
stop to murders on the Rosebud reser
vation by hanging two Indians-Geo
Bear and Allen Walkingshield, VIII
were executed in Sioux Falls som
} years ago for murder committed o.
the Rosebud reservation-and it is be
lieved that if similar action is take
in the case of the next Sisseton India
} who commits murder, the taking g
! life among the Sisseton Indians wi
cease for many years to come and pei
} haps forever, as it has on the Rose
\ ! bud reservation.

walk on Eighth street leading from

WATER EXTENSIONS.
Councilman Mcnamara called atten-
tion to detail matters regarding ex-
teusion of water mains in the Fiegel
addition and by G. c. Hunt in the
western part Of the city. At previ-
GUS session it was voted to pay for
these extensions and for all other pri-
vate extensions in warrants bearing
five per cent interest. Mayor Wood
stated the income from people who use
water from these extensions exceeds
twelve per cent, but that separate
account is not kept by the treasurer.
1t was decided to pay for the extern
sions and Councilmen Mcnamara,
Dodge and Babue were appointed a
committee to audit the accounts and
reports.
OTHER MATTERS.
L. T. Crittenden asked for and was
granted an abatement of taxes for i'm
provements on lots II and 1S in block
III, as there are no improvements on
the lots.
Chief McElroy asked for the pur-
chase of 1000 feet of hose, stating
that this cold weather the hose freezes
as soon as the water is turned off, and
that in case of another fire occurring
there would be scarcity of hose suit
able for use. The matter was referred
to the committee on fire matters with
power to act.
