Winchester Remains "Dry''

The "drys" increased their
majority in the election held in
Winchester yesterday over that of
April, 1908, and it looks now as
though another election on the
liquor question in that city would
not be held for many years, if
at all.

a decision Of the ATTORNEY general as to
its proper disposal
The senate committee on public lands
reported last week on Senator GAMBLE
bill increasing the government pay to
Indians for school lands in the Standing
Rock aud Cheyenne River reservations
from 81 % to So 80 an acre. This will
mean about 5000, 900 additional for the
Indians of those reservations il the bill
passes congress, as now seems quite
probable. The government has agreed
to pay the Indians 81 80 per acre for the
land, but through inadvertence the
bill as 1t passed congress provided for
only 81 % an acre. The Gamble meas
nre corrects this measure.
1t was announced in Washington, d.
O. last Friday that an agreement had
been reached between officials of the
interior department and land Office and
OF the state of South Dakota, by which
the state will exchange land within the
Black Hill forest reserve for other pub
lie lands outside this national forest.
An effort to effect this exchange was
made last winter, but no agreement
was reached. The lands TO be relin-
pushed by the state are sections l6 and
36 in every township in the reserve
aggregating several thousand acres, and
said TO be worth several million dollars.
The no-license situation at Fort
Pierre shows symptoms OF trouble max
ing. Some one evidently not pleased
with the activity of President Millett, OF
the Stock Growers bank, along the
lines Of prohibition, threw beer bottle
through large plate glass window at
the bank, causing damage or several
hundred dollars. In seeking for the
source of supply at that place, Mayor
Fletcher, druggist, was arrested
charged with illegal selling and paid a
fine. Later his son and partner was
arrested on like charge. He was dis
missed and again arrested and Judge
Boucher of the circuit court asked to
sit in the preliminary hearing which he
did, and Fletcher junior was bound
over. The no-license people are deter.
