Homesteading Tricksters.


A homesteader near Lennon at.
tempted to prove up on the strength Of
residence and improvements, testifying
that he had plowed "between ten and
eleven acres" on the tract. His proof
was protested, when it was discovered
that he had measured off one tract Of
ten acres, and another of eleven acres,
and had plowed few furrows between
the tracts he measured. =
Another claimant is now trying to
make better record on the tract.
This plan was like that of the settlers
a quarter of q century ago. when some
Of them we're putting up houses 90
small it was hard to turn around in
them without taking out one side for
the purpose, and the land Office officials
ruled that they would not in the future
consider anything smaller than q 'ten.
by-twelve" building house.
This looked like q heavier expense un.
til some bright mind found that the rul-
ing did not specify just what aten.by-
twelve" meant, and with house Of the
usual six, he also constructed . minia-
ture one ten by twelve inches In size,
which he carried to the claim at every
visit and placed in position, and whom
time came for final proof, with Q clear
conscience he swore to the existence Of .
house "ten-by- twelve" ON the land.

A SUCCESS
Eighth Annual B. H. T. M. A,
Meeting Grand Success
In Every Way.
A THREE DAYS OUTING
Parade, Ball Games And Plunges Help
To Make Things Lively---Hot
Springs Again Next Year.

The eighth annual meeting of the
Black Hills Travelling Mems associa-
tlon was held in Hot Springs Friday
Saturday and Sunday was one of the
most enjoyable meetings of its kind
ever held since the organization of this
association.
The attendance was the largest ana
the program hummer. Friday was
rather quiet and was devoted to wei.
coming each guest upon their arrival
ON the different trains. The annual
Banquet which was scheduled for
Saturday evening was given
Friday evening at the Evans
which was practically the only change
on the program. 1t was very sumpt-
lous affair in which about thirty. five
members and their guests participated.
After the banquet the remainder of the
evening was spent dancing on the
veranda.
Saturday morning saw large num-
ber arriving ON each train and the
morning passenger on the Northwest
ern had an extra coach attached for
the convenience of the delegation from
Rushville, Nebraska, with their band
and ball team. AT one-thirty or imme-
diately after luncheon parade was
pulled off that was one of the best ever
seen in the city. The order of march
was along the entire length of River
avenue then back to the Evans and
from there to the ball park. L. o.
Shirley who had charge of this part of
the program headed the procession.
The parade was made up as follows:
Rushville band; about fifty of the trav-
cling men carrying their red and white
parasols; Mayor Bentley and DR..
Walker, president of the Commercial
Cluo; automobiles containing the coun.
ty officials with banner inscribed
"County Paupels," and "Some More
Paupers' about fifty Hot Springs
ladies or horseback; travelling mems
wives and citizens in carriages. One
feature that was very agreeable sur.
prise to many was the large number of
ladies who turned out with their horses
which made the equestrienne part of
the program "a marvel.
The ball game between Hot Sprlnps
and Rushville was victory for the
locals by score of to l. A detailed
account will be found elsewhere. After
the ball game, plunges and in the even.
ing dancing kept the crowd busy.
Sunday forenoon was devoted to
sightseeing and more plunges and in
the afternoon second game of ball
was pulled off at the park that ended
with the locals victorious by the same
score as on the previous day.
The business session of the associa.
tion WAS held Saturday forenoon and
the following officers elected for the
ensuing year:
Ira Marks, travelling for Marks Bros
Saddlery house of Omaha, president
Dick Dempster, of Hot Springs, with
HinkleJoyce Hardware Company oi
Lincoln, president; e. O. Locks
of Deadwood, with the National Cash
Register Company, secretary and treas
urer. Hot Springs was decided on fol
their next convention.

others singles, and each one scoring
before the side was retired. In the
seventh Two Dogs was driven to his
tepee and Hippach took his place on
the mound but he Jared little better
and Murphy and Newmyer scored,
The eighth and ninth we're blanks on
both sides. The feature of this game
was Saville's pitching for Hot Springs.
He allowed two hits, struck out six
men and only twenty.nine men faced
him in the entire game, the two extra
being walked to first.
Following is the lineup which was
practically the same in both games
with the exception of the batteries:

UNITED PARTY.
Congressman Martin Believes Repub

licans Will Work Together.
In an interview given morning
paper, Congressman Martin, who re-
turned from the republican state con-
vention at Sioux Falls yesterday even
ing expresses the belief that the party
will be found intact at the polls in
November.
Relative to the convention Mr..
Martin said:
"Ihe progressives had majority Of
the delegates, but there were two fac.
tions among them, one conservative, the
other radical, and the conservatives
among all the delegates present, both
stalwarts and progressives, were in the
majority and joined in the endeavor to
adopt a platform that all the repub.
licans can unite upon in the present
campaign, said Mr.. Martin in referring
to the proceedings of the convention.
"The platform adopted expresses ap.
p1oval of the Taft administration and
the Roosevelt national policies and de-
clares for thorough system of regula.
tion for all corporations engaged in
interstate commerce.; it approves of the
present state administration, and
pledges loyal support to all candidates
nominated at the recent primaries.
Il feel that the republican party OF
South Dakota will be united in sup
port of the platform and of the entire
state and congressional ticket, and
should role up an old-time republican
majority at the fall election. Lead

HOT SPRINGS TAKES TWO.
Defeats Fast Rushville Bunch by Scores
of z to l Twice.

Va W xWICCs
The Nashville, Neb, ball team came
up Saturday for two games with the
locals during the Travelling Mems Con.
vention and we're defeated in both
games. Saturday and Sunday, by ex-
actly the same score, Z to l. The only
difference in the games was that the
Visitors went to pieces two innings
earlier in the last game than in the
first.
First Game.
An exceptionally good crowd turned
out Saturday afternoon to witness the
game. The travelling men we're there
in force and applauded each individual
play. The game was called ct 3:15 o.
m. by Umpire John McElroy, of Rapid,
who announced the batteries for Rush
vile, Hippoch and Nelson and for Hot
Springs, Cress and Hinson. The y:s-
ltors came to bat and three men we're
retired in double quick time, two on
lnfield bounders and on a fly to the
left fielder. Hot Springs Jared no bet
ter in their half and everybody began
to set up and take notice. Three more
men faced Cress then Hot Springs
came to bat, Hinson was an easy out
as was Holden and then Vaughn copped
hit, Maher reached first on an error
and Dempster did the same and in the
mixup Vaughn scored. In trying to
steal second Dick was thrown out
easily. The third inning saw Rushville
with tally but the Hot Springs boys
added one more to their list. The next
three innings neither side scored, in
fact Rushville quit that part of the
play in the third The seventh saw
the locals donning their batting clothes
and to start things Cress scored before
the side was retired. The eighth was
rather disastrous for the visitors. Hin
son the first man up hit for two bases,
Holden got single and Vaughn made
first on an error by the third baseman
who threw wild letting Hinson and
Holden score, Maher was out, second
to first, then Dempsters ecured another
single scoring Vaughn. Dick stole
second and on hit by Cress scored.
Kelly famed and Murphy went out,
third to first. Rushville in the ninth
could do nothing with Cress' delivery
and the game ended seven to one.
This was Cress' first effort with reason
able support and his pitching was a
feature. He allowed but three hits and
famed seven men. The entire Hot
Springs team played gilt-edged base
ball and had only a couple of errors
which made no particular difference in
the scoring.
Second Game.
Sundays game was called at 3:15 o.
M, by Umpire McElroy. Saville and
Hinson were in the points for the To-
Gals and the Indian battery, Two Dogs
and Nelson, were slated for like posi-
tions with the visitors. The first in.
ming was goose egg for both teams.
In the second Hinson scored the first
run for Hot Springs. The third and
fourth were blanks for both sides and
the hfth netted each one run. The
sixth saw the Rushville balloon ascend
ing when Newmyer, Hinson and Holden
each took crack at the horsehide for
