SCARCITY Of SCHOOL
TEACHERS REPORTED
NUMBER DEPLETED PARTLY BE-
CAUSE SEVERAL HUNDRED
YOUNG WOMEN HAVE FILED
ON LAND CLAIMS

Aberdeen, S. D.-A scarcity of
school teachers is reported in many
sections of South Dakota, notwith-
standing the fact that teachers
wages are higher than ever before in
the state. In Aberdeen there are but
one or two substitute teachers, and
when one of the grade teachers was
sent by the school board as a delegate
to the recent meeting Of the teachers
and school boards of the state at HUI
ron, her grade had to be closed during
her absence because there was not
available substitute. A complaint
comes from Grant county of a short
age of teachers, several districts in
that county being without Instructors
at present. One prossible clause of
the scarcity, is the fact that several
hundred young women teachers have
availed themselves of the opportunity
to take homesteads in the reserva-
ton country in northwestern South
Dakota, and are now either on their
homesteads or have quit teaching in
order to prepare for going on their
claims. And Cupid continues to de-
plete the ranks of the young women
teachers in the usnai time-honored
fashion.

MICHIGAN TIES WITH I
PENNSYLVANIA ELEVEN

Philadelphia. Pa.-Whether Penn
%sylvania or Michigan has the better
football team will not be known for
at least another year as these two
elevens, each a leader in it's section,
fought scoreless battles here this af-
%ternoon.
If there as any advantage it was
with Michigan, which several times
clearly outplayed Pennsylvania, but
was unable to push the Quakers over
the goal line. Once. during a stiff
battle in the third period, it looked
as if nothing could stop the WESTERN
ers from scoring, but Pennsylvania
held the powerful Michigan men.
Twice the Wolverines crashed in
to Pennsylvania line eight yard from
the goal, and each time the Michi-
gan attack crumblei against the
stonewalg defense of the desperate
PennsTlvanials.
Pennsylvania also had one coed OPP
portuity to score. 1t came in the sec
ond period. PENNSYLVANIA worked
the ball within striking distance and

UNWR|TTEk LAW IS
|@ND|ANS.DEFENSE
TELLS ON WITNESS STAND HE
KILLED ANOTHER OF HIS
TRIBE To PROTECT HIS
WIFE WHO WAS ILL IN
BED.

Aberdeen, S. D.-When the federal
court adjourned, on Saturday evening
for the Sunday recess, Jacob Keoke,
the Sisseton Sioux Indian on trial
for the allie ged murder of George
44ampeska, another Indian, was on
the stand in his own behalf. Keoke
Is a particularly fine specimen of the
Indian race, being tall, we'll propor-
toned and of more than usual intel
ligence. He is about &c years old,
and gave his evidence in the English
language, requiring 40 interpreter.
He testified that Kampeska had gone
home with him, against his wishes,
after the two had been to Sisseton
to buy a coffin for his dead childeand
had become intoxicated through
drinking a bottle of patent medicine,
and that he was putting up the horses
while Kampeska went into the house.
In a short time his attention was at
tracted by screams from the house,
and he rushed inside and found KAN
peska attempting to criminally as
sault his wife, who was in bet, not
yet having recovered IRON a confine-
ment. Keoke testified that he
rushed to the defense of his wife. and
Kampeska attacked him, and that in
the fight which followed, to protect
the honor of his wife and save his
own life, he fatally injured Kampes-
ka. He said he loaded the injured
man on a wagon and started for help,
but Kampeska died on the way to a
neighbor's, and he dumped the body
overheard, in a ravine.

WON ANOTHER VICTORY
ON FOOTBALL FIELD
MITCHELL HIGH SCHOOL LADS
ARE WINNING BACK THE
LAURELS THEY LOST IN
EARLY SEASON.

Mitchell high school, 2S; Yankton
high school, O..
The Mitchell High School football
team % another hard fought game
on the local gridiron Saturday, al.
though the Yankton boys outweighed
the locals n put up a game fight
they were unable to cross Mitchell's
goal.
The game was called at $3.50 with
Log Smith acting as referee, and
Yankton defending the east goal. Nit
chell kicked off against a. strong
wind, and Yankton returned the ball
to their forty-yard line, where Nit.
chell held them for down. Mitchell
worked a couple of plays to a good
gain, then Gordon Smith got loose
and ran twenty-five yards for the
first touchdown. Mitchell failed to
kick goal. First quarter. score SO.
In the last three-quarters of the
game Mitchell made four more touch
downs and kicked three goals.
Yankton tried on drop kick from the
twenty-five yard line but owing to the
strong wind the ball went wide.
Mitchell successfully worked a
number of new fakes and many for
ward passes. Touchdowns were made
by the following. Gordon Smith 2,
Berry 1, Wheaton 1, Cook 1.
Yankton's back field was heavy
and very fast but Mitchell was ex-
%ceptionally strong on the defense.
Pehrson's tackling at end was one of
the main features of the game. Dud
Smith was at left and plays a good
game and recovered many punts and
fumbles. Mitchell's backfeld men all
played a star game. The locals line
held we'll and the whole team showed
the best form so far this year. Har-
bert, Mitchell's right tackle, caught
a number of kickoffs and returned
them for long gains. The Junior and
Senior classes of the High School
gave the Yankton boys a reception
Saturday evening and the visitors re-
turned on the midnight passenger.

MINNESOTA EASILY
DEFEATS WISCONSIN

Minneapolis, MINI Minnesota de-
feated her old rival, the University of
Wisconsin Saturday afternoon, 2S to
0 and by virtue of comparative
scores, now claims the western con-
ference championship.
Minnesota ripped the line to pieces
in the first half, scoring the first
touchdown in 2 IL minutes play, and
adding two more before the first per-
iod ended. Beginning with tie sec
ond period, Coach Williams used nu-
merous subs and the teams played
more evenly during the latter part of
the game. .
Wisconsin never had a chance. The
mighty onslaughts of Johnson, Rosen-
valid, Stevens and McGovern could
not be checked and gains of from S
to 20 yards We're made nearly every
time these men took the ball. Both
teams relied almost entirely on
straight football. Not a forward pass
was attempted and Minnesota resort
ed to only one trick play, McGovern
making a touchdown on that attempt.

ION THAT ANY ONE TAKING
OUT BOND IN UNLCENS-
ED COMPANY CAN BE
PROSECUTED.

Pierre, s. D.--%Insurance Commits
sioner o. S. Basford has issued the
following statement:
1t has been difficult for the Insur-
ance Department to eradicate entire
ly the writing Of illegal insurance. In
spite of several circular letters to
bankers, some Of them still take out
policies in unlicensed companies,
which have not made the deposit re-
CURED by our statute.
A bond taken out from an unlicens-
ed company is u%ncollectable in our
state court.
Policies are solicited by mail by
unlicensed companies and we have
secured from Attorney General
Clark a communication which We is
sue as a warning. The two points to
be emphasized are:
First. Such insurance is %uncollect-
able in our state courts:
Second. The person signing an ap-
~plication to an unlicensed company
is liable to prosecution and punish
ment as we'll as the company which
writes the insurance.
General Clark says:
Where a Foley of insurance is de-
posted in the mail, outside of the
state, and addressed to and delivered
to a person within the state, the place
of delivery fixes the locality of the
act; and, in the present inquiry, where
an unauthorized insurance com
pany places a policy of insurance in
the mails addressed to and with the
intent that 1T be delivered to a per-
son within this state, such unauthor-
lied company has committed a crime
within this state and is subject to
violation of our laws.
Therefore, it is my opinion that
every time a policy of insurance is
received by mail in this state, from
an unauthorized insurance company
in this state, that the officers of the
company depositing the policy in the
mails and the person receiving the
policy from the mails have each VIC
lated the provisions of Sec. IA of
Chapter 21O Of the laws of 1909, and
that they are each liable to fine or i'm
prisonment, Or both, for each separate
offense.
II call your attention particularly
to the fact that the resident of this
state who forwards his application of
insurance through the mails, from
such an unauthorized company is
himself liable to arrest and imprison-
ment or fine, or both, equally with
the agents of the unauthorized COM
pany who received the application
and who forwarded the policy.
II would furthermore call your at
tention to fact that no recovery
can be had, IN this state, under a pol
icy OF insurance that was issued by
an unauthorized company. Any per-
son taking out insurance in such I'M
authorized company is not only liza
BILE to punishment, but he cannot re-
cover a cent, on the policy, If loss oc-
ours, through the courts of this stat.

came up in the argument over a mo-

bfoohinSS, .. a leaden
K and In an atmosphere just crisp
enough to make every man do his
very best, the Sioux Falls high school
football eleven Saturday took the
crucial contest of the season from
Brookings high school team, the
game being decided in the third per-
iod. when Gilbertson made a beau.
tiful drop kick from a hard angle,
placing the Sioux Falls team in the
lead by a 6 to S score.
For the first time this year, Sioux
Fails was playing with the larger end
of the cOre against her, and for a
a time 1t looked as though the mid
state team was going to claim a VIC
tory by a 3-5 score, but this doubt
was dissolved when, near the end of
the third period, Gilberton kicked
his last goal from the 28-yard line.
This was probably the most nerve
racking moment of the game.
Responding to the signals for a
solid formation, giving the little
quarterback an the opportunity pos
sible to make his play, the line held
In hat famous "stonewall' fashion
which has characterized the team
through the season, and as the ball
left the ground from the drop, it was
caught %squarely on the toe of the
masterful quarter, and sailed over the
goal posts, struck one of the uprights,
hesitated and rolled over.
A mighty cheer went up from
the staunch band of Sioux Falls
rooters, because the teams had been
fighting without scores for nearly
thirty minutes and it was realized
that barring tlukes, this would be
the end of the scoring. Even the dis
heartened Brookings rooters "gave
it" to Gilbertson that the play was a
most beautiful one, and his calling
the two kicks was merely more evil
dence Of his great ability as a foot
ball general.
