NEW FOREST FOR THE HILLS.

Deadwood-On July ! the Black
Hills national forest, the largest Cor
est reserve in the country today, will
be divided into two units, the new
forest consisting of the southern por-
ton Of the present one. Word to this
effect has been received from Wash
ing by Supervisor Kelleter.
The plan has been under considera-
ton for some time. Besides being the
largest forest in the United States the
Black Hills national forest is ranked
as the most important in the mat
ter of business transactions and con
tains 1876, Gao acres. The nature OF
the work on hand has become such
that the forest was unweildy and il
was found that the only practical way
was to divide. Accordingly a new
forest is to be established by drawing
a line east and west through the pres
ent forest just south Of Redeem, in
Pennington county, making the two
forests almost equal in size. The
southern forest will establish head
quarters at Custer, with r. p. lines,
formerly with the local lodge head
quarters and now in the district for
ester's Office at Odgen, Utah, rs the
supervisor. The headquarters for the
northern forest will remain in Dead
wood under Supervisor Kellter, and
it is understood that the establish
ment of the new forest will not affect
the local forest officials except to in
crease their efficiency by relieving
them of much homestead contest work
that is frequent in the southern hills.

AN ECHO OF HARDEN CASE.

Sioux Falls--One Of the most sci
lous of the fifteen separate charge
which have been made against G. ?
HARDEN, an attorney whose disbar
ment case now is on for hearing a
Platte before Col. John L. Jo!ley O.
Vermillion, referee for the state su
preme court, grew out of the murder
by William Hippen of his brother
Harm Hippen in Charles Mix county
on March IS, 1908.
The slayer was under the influence
OF liquor at the time he quarreled
with and shot and killed his brother.
William Hippen was a single man,
while his dead brother left a widow
and seven children. The slayer was
arrested on the charge of murder in
the first degree. When he became
sober he realized the enormity of his
crime and as a partial attonement
decided to- the widow of the dead man
a quarter section of valuable farm
land and his personal property, the
latter being estimated to be worth
about $3.50. He was induced to take
this course because of the fact that
the widow Of his brother and her
children were left in destitute cir
cumstances and without means TO
gain a livelihood.
Following this action of the slayer
of his brother, Attorney Harlem is
accused Of having induced him to
sing a blank deed, obtaining such
signature by then and there stating
and representing to the said William
that it was necessary that he
sign such blank to authorize him, the
said G. p. Harden, to act as his at
.orney in said criminal proceedings,
which statement was false and known
the said G. p. Harden to be false"
1t is further alleged that after in
lucing Hippen to sign the blank deed
Attorney Harden filled out the blank
n such a way as to deed to himself
he quarter section of land previously
Ieed by Hippen to the widow of
is brother. Harden is further ac-
used of also having secured a bill of
ale to the personal property of Hip
en-.
1t is further charged that the states
ttorney Of Charles Mix county agreed
recommend a term of fifteen years
n the ~penitentiary if Hippen would
lead guilty to manslaughter in the
Irst degree, and that Harden, for the
,urpose of securing a fee of $3.50, OPP
this, with the result that Hip
zen stood trial, was convicted of muir
.er in the first degree and sentenced
o life Imprisonment in the Sioux
falls penitentiary.

An Old Custom to Be Revived for White

out under her directions and she has
planned to Introduce n number of inno-
vati0ns.
One of the most striking cf these is 4

Jays OF President Hayes, when Mrs.

frequent visitors at the white house Tho
early presidents served refreshments and
IN some instances a festive punch howl
was kept in use. wv
An amusing incident in connection with
TINS subject occurred during the admin
lstratlon OF President jackson. A mann.
noun cheese, feet in diameter and >
rect thlck, was presented to the presi-
dent. The genial Jackson gave \
George Washington birthday reception
on February %, 1887, and invited his
teliow citizens to visit the white housp

me citizens came to the tune of about

TO attend the cheese reception while the
ohdurate House of Representatives was
restrained by Il scanty ma iority from nj

eaten, bat the carpets and furniture of
the east room was well nigh ruined

KINGS SONS SEEK BRIDES.
An Agent Sent to the United States to-
Discover Heiresses


Where is Count Pablo Mysky Tres
kaya. also known as Capt. kariloh!
He is supposed to be either in Chicago
or New York city, in the interest of the
kurageurgeevitch family, which now
sits on the Servian throne, and is plan
ming to marry into money. Both sons of
King Peter are preparing to travel early
in the new year, and the itinerary in
cudes a two-mOnths' stay in the United
StateS-unleFS the agent 5 report makes
il inadvisable.
Count Treskaya is mysterious
stranger, about whom Washington's
ultra exclusive set is talking. Upon his
appearance here he was believed to be
Il secret agent for some Balkan nation
Now ii turns out that King Peter com
missioned him to come to this country
and report what opportunity his two
sons might have toward making an al
lance with American girls.
4 report that the Serviau princes want
to marry American girls reached Wash
ington last spring. Gar Nicholas. En-
peror Francis Joseph and King George
of Greece tried to plan an alliance for
tine sons of King Peter. but none Of
these would consider an alliance with
any princess TO whom they were udi-
vidually related. This is why the princes
will seek To marry merely money.
1t is recalled in this connection that
two years ago the Duke de Alba. n
grandee of Spain. then said to be in love
with Miss Mathilde Townsend of Wash
ington and Philadelphia. sent lawyer
to this country to look up the financial
standing of the Townsend family. Miss
Townsend learned of this a few days
before the duke was notified that her
maternal grandfather had tied up the
property so that any prospective for
tune hunter could not enjoy the capital.
His highness desired S250,000 Il year for
himself as the price Of his love.
