Plenty Of Work for

A month or two ago there was some
Gear in this city that many laboring
men who were making their homes
here with their families would be
thrown out OF employment on account
of the short crop thruout the north

the city today who is willing to work.
The Slower Construction Company
who are building the new drainage CO.

$500 per day.
Several other large contractors al
SO want men.
This hard times talk is all wind.
There is plenty of work and plenty of
money and every thing will be lovely
just as soon as people get ovsF being
scared at their shadows.

Mystery Of Divided u 4
Loot Thought Solved

{ Chamberlain, Sept. Il -. Sanford
Lunderman, an old frontiersman who
for a period of thirty years has re-
sided on the Rosebud Indian reserya-
ton, claims he has solved the mystery
surrounding The recent division Of q
large pile Of greenbacks and gold and
silver coin before the eyes of the ~
year-old son, Of Mr.. and Mrs. Julius
Eisenbaum, who resides on home.
stead near the Keya Paha river In
Tripp county, adjoining the Rosebud
reservation. The boy while hunting
along the river CHANGED upon the two
strangers, who forcibly detained him
and compelled him to sit upon the
ground while they completed the
work of dividing the money. One Of
them tossed him silver dollar. Tell
ing the boy to remain where he was
for half an hour, on pain OF instant
death, the two mysterious strangers
mounted their ponies and disappeared.
Lunderman claims the money diyid-
ed by the two men was the long-bur-
led fruits of robbery on the old
Deadwood stage line about twenty-five
years ago. Lunderman aided in run.
ming down the highwaymen at the
time of the famous robbery. There
were five highwaymen in the party
j and three were killed during the pur,
suit. The two injured robbers were
captured and Lunderman stood guard
over them for time. They finally
were lodged in prison to serve long
terms.
| Lundermans theory is that it i.
/ these two men, who are supposed tt
have recently completed their term
in prison, who returned to the cache
Of the stolen money and succeeded ii
recovering it. Lunderman, 1t is inter
esting to note, a day or two befor,

believed were the two prisoners tab

Lunderman's impression is that par
of the money taken in the stage coacl
robbery was dnsipnad for naynnon
Of frontier soldiers and that the tota
proceeds of the robbery amounted t
about $4,000. 1t is said that for year
there had been tradition among tn

that considerable quantity Of treas
