who will be brought here for trial on the
charge of. murder.
II was stated by the police that In
epector Dews cablegram to headquarters
announcing that the accused had been re-
manded by the Quebec court for a later
hearing, concluded with the word .un-
confession.
The police also let il be known that

ment of evidence. William Long A for
mer assistant Of DIR. Crippeu who was a
witness at the inquest over the fragments
of a human body found in the cellar of
Crippen's Hilldrop Crescent home was
inclined TO shield the fugitive has since

WOMAN HOMESTEAOER

Claims She Was Contesting
Claim When Right of Way
Was Secured.

Dallas. s. D., July 19.-Grading con-
tractors al work on the Northwestern
extension west from Dallas were today
served with notice Of a temporary in
junction, issued at the instance of Miss
Eleanor Sallee, a homesteader, W
miles southeast Of Colome. The con-
tractors are restrained from operating
on Miss Sallee's farm pending adjudi-
cation of her claim for right of way

There arises in this case a peculiar
question in the matter of a homestead

which the grading contractors are tenn

filing by Otto Schneider, of Mitchell.
who held No. 4 in the Trip county
land opening. Several months ago he
made right Of way settlement with the
railroad company. receiving the sum OF
1865. although his entry was at that
time under contest by Miss Sallee.
Subsequently the contestants rights
were held to be good and she was given
a fling. She denies the validity Of the
settlement made with the original en-
tryman and is promoting a personal
claim for $1,000.
Both federal and state laws MAKE
provision for the legal acquisition of
railroad right of way through home
stead lands, and the right Of a home
steader to make settlement of this kind
is unquestioned, unless adverse rights
are affected.

ROSEBUD SECTION
or SOUTH DAKOTA
MUCH benefited
Recent Rains Help the Prospect
for Good Crops in Trip
and Gregory.

Gregory, S. d., July 1S.-The crop
outlook for the Rosebud country this
yea;. is one Of the surprises Of the
northwest. While reports concerning
the dry weather In other sections have
been showing up in the newspapers
from time to time, this section Of the
country has been favored with good.
soaking rains at intervals OF about a
week. AS a result the small grain
crop here will com up to the general
average of bumper crops raised on the
Rosebud ever since this country was
thrown open to settlement six years
ago. The corn is in fine shape, strong
and coming out wonderfully well.
That portion Of the Rosebud coun-
try lying in Trip county, which was
thrown open to settlers last year., has
suffered from the dry continuous south
| wind. The soil there Is new, most OF
1t being sod broken out this season.
and for this reason dries out quickly.
All of the old ground that was well
cultivated, however, will produce good
crops in Trip county. The sod crops
are in q bad way and few settlers will
harvest more than a half crop. Inc
difference IN the crops on the well Gull
tivated old ground from that on the
sod is markedly noticeable and where
ever one finds a tract of old GROUND
in the new country which has nae
proper attention the crop shows UP IN
past three weeks keep up the corr
crop on the sod in Trip county VIII
come out wonderfully and will yield
heavily. The sod small grain crop In
Trip county, however, is doomed ano
no amount Of rain can now save 1t.

HALF MILLION ANNUALLY
FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Pierre, S. D.. July 19.-Since South
Dakota became a state, 1t has distrib-
uted to the common schools and the
various endowed educational institu-
tons Of the state in round numbers
Sc, 1000, 900, and Of this over $500, 900 was
sent out for the first six months Of this
year. The fund is increasing in
amount every year, and will soon reach
q point where many of the common
schools Of the state will be practically
supported through this fund without
local taxation. In fact some Of the
country districts, where there Is close
pairing on Education" are already get
ting through their school year" with
this fund.
BY far the largest part of this has
gone to the public schools, that branch
Of education having received S5,576,S50
Of the fund, of which nearly q half
million went to them for the first half
of 1910. The various endowed state
schools have received $348,622, about
$40 0 going to them for the first half

ANOTHER RAILROAD
TAPS TRIP COUNTY
Burlington Plans Extension
Which Will Penetrate I'm.
opened Reservation.

Gregory, s. D., July 1S.-While the
Northwestern is already at work grad
ing its line, and the Milwaukee is
planning its new extension via Rose
land, another railway line has cast its
covetous eyes on the new country and
surveyors are now busy running out
a line for the new extension Of the
Burlington system from Burwell, Neb.,
up through Trip county, crossing into
Mellette comfy. at the new town Of
Carter, the terminus of the North
Westerns new line, n running on
across the White river into Murdo, a
town on the MHwaukee's line from
Chamberlain to the Black Hills dis
trict. This new extension Of h Bur-
Nngton will tap a rich section of coun-
try and give the Burlington the edge
on Trip county n Mellette county
business, as their line down the Platte
valley will give direct connections with
Omaha, Lincoln, st. Joseph and Kan
sas City. The Milwaukee's new line
will give direct connections with Sioux
Falls, Minneapolis, st. Paul and Chi
cago, while the Northwestern's line
now building will continue the direct
connections this country now has with
Omaha and Sioux City.
Mellette county will undoubtedly
be opened to settlement next year and
another vast section of the Rosebud
Indian reservation will be added to the
agricultural area Of the state. This
opening appears to be the incentive for
the three roads In their race to build
into the new country to be developed.
| AS the matter now stands the North
| western will be the first line in all
| probability to be running trains to the
Mellette county line. This railroad de-
velopment will mean much for the
| wholesale cities whose interests will be
| affected, and will mean a great deal
more for the settlers who are now
holding Trip county land, as the ad-
vent of such new extensions is bound
| to send the price of land In that coun-
ty, now comparatively cheap, up to a
| good figure.

STOCK SELLING CHEAP
ON DAKOTA RANGES

Belle Fourche, S. D., July 1S.-Stock-
men who make this shipping point are
preparing to get their cattle and sheep
on the market as soon as possible. Five
hundred cars have been ordered for
this point next week, with big strings
needed continually thereafter.
The fear that the feed supply will be
disastrously light in the winter, on &C
count Of the drouth, has prompted this.
and, although the market is down, the
stockmen prefer to take the best the
market will offer rather than attempt
to carry them through.
Prices prevailing in the valley are
low. A woman whose husband recently
was killed, sold out all her cattle and
got $50 a head for all ages. throwing
the calves in. A sale was started here
Saturday, but was called off when only
$40 was bid on a COW and calf, the first
animals offered.

Some Germans have established q
farm for the breeding Of offers, foxes,
sables, martens and other ~fur-bearing
animals of the same character. The
farm embraces 1900 acres, which Is
leased at a very low rental, but 1t
was found necessary to erect a fence
around the establishment, and as this
had to be very secure it vas covered
with sheet metal, and the cost is said
to have been about $67, 900. This figure
will be still further increased by the
fact that 1t has now been found neces-
sary to continue 1t underground for a
depth Of several feet on account of the
burrowing propensities Of the animals
which 1t Is desired to conine.
