UNIVERSITY SOCIETY
HONORS INSTITUTION

Vedmillion, S. D., Dec. 22.-The State
university closes for the Christmas va
cation on Wednesday. December 20.
The fall semester has been marked by
unusual quiet and hard work. The in
terruptions from social matters or any
other causes have been few. Dean
Perisho's address before the Instru-
ment Dealers association at Sioux Falls
has attracted a large amour of atten-
ton. The dean is doing excellent work
in calling the attention of the state
emphatically to the danger from the
great waste of water now going on in
the state.
The activity of the literary societies
has been one of the features of the fall
work. Especially is this true of the
young ladies' society, the Alethian. The
attendance has been large and the in
terest developed has been unusual. The
annual exhibition of the society was
held Monday evening in the college
chapel. The whole house was pack ed
with a representative audience from
the university and the town. It is sell
dom that so excellent a rogram Is
rendered by students. The original ar
ticles were of a high class, clever,
bright and sparkling, and full OF good
thought vigorously expressed and
clearly stated. The Evolutionary part
of the exercises was a marked improve
ment on ANYTHING in the past. Miss
Piersol, who had charge of the train
ing of the young people, has done a bit
of work entirely to the credit of the
university.

INDIAN DEMANDS RETURN
OF RELATIVES DEATH GIFTS

LeBeau, S. D., Dec. 22.-When Alex
ander Swift Bird died, relatives from
far and near attended the feast and,
following the usual custom of the
Sioux, the family Of the dead warrior
gave away many presents "in honor of
the event" This liberality, however,
did not please Stephen Black Body, a
soninlaw. 1t meant just that much less
property for him to inherit, so after
carefully considering the matter he
brought suit against the Swift Bird es-
tate to recover the value of the death
gifts" The Swift Bird lands are on
the reservation near LeBeau, adjoining
part Of the territory just thrown open
to settlement and to be filed upon in
the spring. Stephen Black Body's
squaW will inherit part of this prop
erty, but Stephen wants either the re-
turn of the death gifts" or the money
value of them. Five steers were killed
for the feast which followed Swift
Birds burial and the presents included
several horses, a wagon, harness, dogs,
blankets and a calf. The calf was
given to the widow who later provided
a feast for her own friends. Black
Body feels that the family was TX
~travagant in providing steers for the
feast when there were plenty Of dogs
on hand. The case will be heard in
circuit court. 1t was called at the term
just closed but continued until the
spring term.

John Olson, a carpenter Of this city,
went through Saturday night. Olson
was taking a short cut to his home in
the northwestern part of the city,
through a sparsely settled section, when
he slipped on the icy walk and fractured
his right ankle. He called for help but
could rouse no one, as it was about l
o'clock in the morning. He crawled for
some distance on his bare hands, be-
fore the cold became so intense that he
was forced to stop, take off his coat
and put his hands in the sleeves. He
resumed his journey and finally was
found by two policemen, and taken to
the city Jail. His hands were badly
frozen. but no i'll effects are expected
from the exposure.

COMMANDMENT OF
SOLDIERS HOME
UNDER CHARGES
Claimed That He Discharged
Occupants Without Cause
and Falsified Records.

Aberdeen, S. D., Dec. 23.--Why were
F. A. Fasset, J. C. Horner, DR.. N. A.
Smith and a Mr.. Culberson discharged
from the state soldiers home of which
Colonel J. B. Geddes, of Huron, is COM
mandant?
That is the question which II is pro-
posed to determine by Granville Jones,
former candidate for state senator from
Pennington county. now editor of the
Aberdeen Democrat and practicing at
torney at Chamberlain. Mr.. Jones has
written a letter to Governor Wesley in
which he makes serious allegations
against the commandant, charging that
the reason for the discharge of these
men is that they gay testimony con-
corning the conditions in the home that
offended the commandant, and that
he latter was guilty Of classifying the
records OF the men, or some of them,
in stating the reasons foT their dis
charge.
Through his letter to the governor
and through his paper, Jones demands
that an investigation be taken up at
once in order that the matter may not
be dragged into politics, and that the
discharges be torn up and the men re-
instated, since 1t has been shown that
they did not appear voluntarily before
the board to offer testimony in regard
to conditions in the home, but were
summoned by Colonel Geddes for hat
purpose. Mr.. Jones also suggests In
forcible language that the interests of
the home will be served through the
dismissal of Colonel Geddes, whom he
characteriZes as a man Of Eighty tenn
per, vindictive and revengeful, and not
fitted for the work in which he is en-
gagged.
