WHITECAPS RELEASE
MAN FROM JAIL NOW
He IS A STRANGER
Take Heroic Measures to Get
Rid of Undesirable
Citizen.

Chamberlain, S. D., July 15.-Some Of
he residents ofPlatte, Charles Mix county
adopted white cap methods for the pur-
pose of Kidding the community of an
undesirable character in the person Of
a man known as 'Frenchy" who for
some time had made a nuisance Of
himself.
"Frenchy" was arrested on the charge
Of disorderly conduct on the street and
for insulting women and was fined $50
or IS days in Jail. Not having the $50
he was compelled to go TO Jail. At
about 1870 in the morning, according
to the story afterward told by him
while stopping for a brief time at a
farm house on his way out Of the coun-
try, a number of white caps came to
his cell, released him and ordered him
to leave town at once, threatening him
with great bodily injury if he did not
obey and remain away.
"Frenchy" turned up at the farm
house, situated some miles out, at 3: 80
o'clock in the morning, where he told
Of the alleged visit Of the white caps.
After remaining at the farm Gus for
only a few moments, he resumes his
journey and has not since been seen.

OLD STAGE DRIVER
WAS NEVER HELD UP

Deadwood. S. D., July 13.-Harvey
Fellows, the only one Of the old-time
stagers still in active service, viii
climb down tomorrow and hereafter
lead a less strenuous life. For % years
Harvey has made daily trips between
mere and Spearish and is known the
country over. Until two years G he
never had a vacation, driving his four
horse team 10000 miles every year
without a day off in years. Har-
vey never failed to get through, and
when winter storms, deep SHOWS, tenn
peratures as low as 35, and spring
foods that washed out bridges, he al
ways somehow managed to get there
Trains have often been stalled for
days, other drivers would refuse to
make the trip, yet he has weathered it
ell II never suffered a serious acct
dent. And despite the lurid stories OF
the wild and woody west and the Dead
wood stage coach, Harvey has covered
$50, 600 miles and never had a hOld-up.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fellows will leave in a
few days for an overland trip through
Yellowstone park.

RACE TO CATCH TRAIN

Aberdeen, S. d, July l4.-ThrOugh
delay in the arrival Of q train, the
Rev. John w. Hyslop, rector Of st.
Marks Episcopal church, was called
Upon to tie a matrimonial knOt in double

Mr.. HyslOp Otfciated at q wedding at
which oscar NJ. Young, now clerk Of
courts Of Bowman county, North Da-
kOta, vas best nal and Miss Zella
Palmer, of Spencer, Ia, was brides
maid. The acquaintance formed by the
young people at the wedding ripened
INTO a stronger feeling, and to make
the romance complete, they resolved to
have the same minister perform the
ceremony who OfTiCiated at the we'd
ding Of their friends. SO Mr.. Young
came to Aberdeen on an early train,
secured his marriage license, saw the
rector and completed all arrangements
for the ceremony. which was to axe

LANGDON Is CLEARED
OF MURDER CHARGE

Winner, S. D.. July ia jury in the
state circuit court here, after a SEN
sational trial lasting several days, re-
turned a verdict of acquittal in the case
of the state against John Langdon,
who was charged with shooting and
killing a homesteader named Albert K.
Woods. Woods met his death as the
result of a dispute ove the ownership
of a homestead situated south Of the
village of Roseland, in the coded por-
ton OF Trip county. It was a squat
ter's claim and q disagreement as to
who was first TO establish q residence
on the land resulted in a pistol fight,
during which Woods was killed. The
attorneys for Langdon during the trial
submitted testimony to the effect that
Langdun acted in self defense, and this
was the view finally taken by the Jury.
Two other men, Frank Langdon and
John Harmon, had been held for trial
on the charge of being accomplices in
the shooting, but now that John Lang
don has been acquitted the case against
them to all likelihood will not be
pressed to trial.

Aberdeen, S. D., July 15.-Complaints
made by settlers in Rapid City dis
trict that the United States land office
there is far behind in its work, due to
an insufficiency of office help, and that
as a consequence man ysettlers who are
anxious TO prove up on their land are
Kindred in doing so.
The county officials are also annoyed
with the situation, because the home-
steads canno be placed on the tax list
until final proof is made. Many of the
homesteaders are said to be In des-
titute circumstances, and they are
anxious to prove up and get away until
next spring, n in their cases the de-
lay OF the general land office In send
Ing more employees TO the Rapid City
Office works a real hardship.

LESS THAN ONE-FOURTH FILE
FOR RESERVATION LAND

Aberdeen. S, D., July 16.-Final re-
turns from the United States land Of
fee show that of the first 5000 win
ners in the land drawing on the Chey-
enne River and Standing Rock reserva-
lions, only 1880 completed their filings.
Two thousand, four hundred and eight
made their selections, but after the 10
days allowed by law had elapsed since
the filings closed, only 1880 were found
TO have completed the transaction.
This Is a trifle less than One-fourth,
and 1t is believed the proportion of
the remaining 10000 who are privileged
TO file after September / will be much
lower.
The light rainfall this year is be-
lieved to have discouraged many pros
pective homesteaders, although the av-
erage rainfall in the reservation coun-
try compares fovorably with hat in
other sections of the northwest.

RANGE CATTLE ARE
IN FINE CONDITION

Belle Fourche, S. D., July 13.-Tn
spite Of the scarcity Of range feed, the
condition OF stock was never better,
than at present. The very condition
that has made grazing scant has.
operated by the law Of compensation
to put range stool in better condition
than they have been for years at this
time Of year.
When there is abundant rain during;
May and June as has been the case for
six or eight years until this season, the
grass grows long and ripens late, and.
cattle could not take on their best
flesh in green grass. Comparative.
freedom from flies has been of great.
advantage to cattle his year also.
Generally speaking, stock is now in.
.bout the same condition it usually IS
the last Of August. Many stock men.
nave planned early shipments this.
year owing to the poor outlook for
winter feed and the fact that water
holes have been drying up.
