INDIAN EPISCOPAL BISHOP
Missionary Work With Redmen
May be Separated

An Indian is to be real bish-
op of the Episcopal church, hav-
ing in his diocese the red men of
South Dakota, if present plans
are carried out. I'm ii call for an
early meeting of the house OF
bishops, there seemed to some
people to be an intimation that
a missionary district at large
might be created for Indians who
belong to the Episcopal church.
a district at large, permitting it's
bishop to wander into diocescs of
other bishops to look after In
dian communicates, was held to
be so uncathOIic that protest
arose from half a dozen quarters.
Now Bishop Tuttle, of Missou-
ri, who is presiding officer and
who called the Speclal meeting,
answers the critics to say that
all that is contemplated is the
creation of "a new missionary dis
trict within the state of South
Dakota, consisting of counties
wherein dwell few save Indian
people, and leaving the remand
er the state to another district,
wherein are few save whites.
Bishops will be chosen for two
districts, if two are created, and
lhat for the Indian district will
be an Indian, the first American
Indian to attain the rank OF
bishop.-Rapid City Journal.

FENCE POSTS BY EXPRESS
Hills Contractor Takes Advan-
tage Of the New Rates


Pierre, Oct. 4.-Under the new
express rates in this state it is
cheaper to send packages and
shipments generally anywhere
within the boundaries of the
state by express than by freight
This is especially true for ship
ments west of the Missouri river
where the railways have held
their freight rates to a higher
point than they have east of the
river. For instance, the express
rate per 100 pounds between
Pierre and Rapid City is 55 cents
under the present rate, while the
freight rate between these two
points is 7S cents per 100
pounds. This means that ship
ments between the two towns
can be made cheaper by express
than by freight and some of the
shippers who are aware Of the
situation are taking advantage of
it. One day this week a large
shipment of cedar posts from
Rapid City to the eastern part
of the state went through here by
express, as they could be sent
that way cheaper than by freight
If shippers generally find this to
be the rule the shipments of good
and merchandise on the "yellow
cars will be greater than those
in the ordinary red box car, and
the express companies will need
to put on more men to handle
their business.

WILL FACE MURDER CHARGE
Babe" LaPlant Will be Tried
in Ziebach County Court

Upon complaint of the state
attorney, a preliminary hearing
was held Monday before Justice
Kennedy, wherein Ovila (Babe)
l.aPlant was charged with mur-
der. The circumstances of the
ease arose in March and prior to
the organization of the county.
1t will be remembered, that the
charges grew out of the death of
a man by the name of George
Martin, who died a day or so aft
cr IA fight with the defendant in
the Pinnecker pool hall in this
city. At that time coroner's
inquest was held in WalwOrth
county and the defendant acquitt-
ed, Later the defendant was ar
rested by the Federal authorities
and indicted by the grand jury
in United States court. Upon
arraignment a demurrer was in
terposed, upon the question Of
jurisdiction, and the court held,
that the government had no
jurisdiction inasmuch as the terri
tory was opened for settlement.
The case has been one of more
than ordinary interest, from the
fact that the question of juris
diction was at first at doubt and
from the fact that it is the most
important criminal matter yet
to come before the courts Of the
newly organized county of lie
bach, 1T was an Occurance that has
since been regretted by every one
particularly the defendant. The
defense claims the acts were COM
mittcd i'm an effort to defend
against the attacks of the man
Martin. 1t is also claimed that
Martin S death was due to other
causes entirely separate from the
effects of the fight. 1t is con-
tended by the state that Martin s
death resulted directly from the
results of the fight, and that the
defendant is guilty of murder.
The state was represented in
the preliminary hearing by l.. w.
Henderson, who has been employ
ed as special council, and for the
defendant appeared Chas. b. Nc
Coy, who will represent him in
the trial. An application is be-
ing made for bail this week and

When he broke Jail recently at

haunts on the Rosebud reserva-

he had been seen at points along
Black Pipe creek.
Sheriff Coyne Immediately got
in communication with the Rose
bud authorities, and it was only a
short time until word was re-
ceived that he had been taken
in charge by the Indian police
and lodged in Jail at the Rose
bud Agency.

that Philo had better answer to
