SOUTH DAKOTA LAND LOTTERY.
Governments Next Distribution OF
HOmesteads-Detai Connected
Herewith.

Uncle Sans next big land lottery
will be held in South Dakota from
Oct 2 to 21 inclusive, and 466, 562
acres of land in the Rosebud and Pine
Ridge reservations will be offered as
prizes to land seekers. Gregory, Dali
las, Chamberlain, and Rapid City will
be the registration points. On Oct.
24 the drawings will commence at
Gregory.
The price of every $50 acre tract
has already been fixed by the govern
ment appraisers and the homesteader
will pay the price so fixed regardless
of whether he files first or last. And
so whether the hOmesteader files upon
some of the best land or some Of the
poorest, he will be certain that he will
be required to pay only what the land
is worth and will not run the risk or
make an error in Judgment on the
Misrepresentation of ''locator' and
paying a high price for poor land.
The prices fixed by the appraisers
are from rs cents an acre for the
toughest grazing land to Sc an acre
for the finest level agricultural land.
, OF the total of about 100000 acres
sugject to homestead entry, about
one-third has been classified as agri-
cultural land at from 50 to So an
acre.
Briefly, the method of securing a
homestead under this opening will be
as follows:
The applicant will personally ap-
pear at a registration point and will
swear before a notary public on duty
at the notarial headquarters to his
qualifications to take homestead. If
the application is made at any regis
tration point other than Gregory, the
applicant must mail his affidavit to
Judge Witten at Gregory.
When Judge Witten receives one of
these envelopes he will examine care
fully, and if there are no distinguish
ing marks upon it to indicate from
whom it came it will be deposited
with others in a large metal can.
The registration will begin Oct. 2
and end Oct. Fl.
On Oct. "a all of the metal cans
will be opened and their contents
dumped on large public platform in
Gregory. Some child will he selected
to go upon the platform and pick up
dill envelope. IL Will pe Opeueu W
Judge Witten and the applica-
ton therein contained will be num-
bered "One" The person who filed it
will have the privilege of making the
first selection from all the lands SUBJ
iect to entry, and may choose for his
homestead the finest level farming
land at Sc an acre or the toughest
grazing land at rs cents an acre.
The second envelope from those on
the platform will be numbered
"Two," etc. After the drawing those
who receive numbers will have ample
time in which to inspect the lands
and select the tracts upon which they
wish to file.

A Bad Mix Up.

A bad ARRAY took place Monday
forenoon along the road running
north from the H. L. Ferguson corner
one mile east of town. Some horse
traders were camped on the road
and during the morning S. F. Fitch,
a young man living on the Davis City
road, came by on horse and stopped
to talk with the horse traders. While
there, Nose Williams drove up in a
wagon and began talking to the trad
ers. Turning around he saw young
Fitch and Immediately climbed out
of his wagon and grabbed him.
Fitch got off his horse when Williams
struck at him. Fitch then ran back
and grabbed a neckyoke from a
wagon and told Williams not to come
any nearer. Williams paid no heed
to the warning and advanced toward
the man when he was struck by Fitch
with the neckyoke and rendered I'M
conscious. (The above story was
told by the horse traders before May
or Weld Monday afternoon.) Will
liams was brought to town and taken
to DR.. Nye's Office where it was found
a big cash had been cut and it was
necessary to take several stitches to
close the wound. Williams did not
regain consciousness for several
hours. Immediately after the strik-
ing Fitch came to town and told the
mayor what he had done and a pre-
liminary examination was held in
the afternoon. The whole deal is a
bad one and someone certainly ought
to get the full benefit of the law for
it,-Lamoni Chronicle.

Let Other Counties Wake Up.

. In every county it is admitted II
an undertone that things are going
Just as they are in Polk.
The Evening Tribune does not
know of a county where the manage
ment of the board of supervisors is
satisfactory, or where there is free
dom from suspicion. Too many con-
tracts have been let that do not look
quite right.
Here is a sample story: Three
joint contractors on a drainage ditch
had done some work that would not
pass muster, and two of the men
agreed with the third that If he
would complete the job they would
allow him $4,000. He took the
$4,000 and then went to work on the
county board and got the work &C.
cepted as it was. His friends wanted
their $4,000 back and that is how the
matter came to see the light Of day.
Z. 1t is the fault of the system or
want of system. The county board
was organized for times when there
was not much business to do and
when large contracts were not to be
let
It is as much out of date today as
the old covered wagon.
What every county needs today ID
shrewd, capable and experienced
business management, and that
means men paid adequate salaries
and held responsible for what they

Head Caught in Corn Binder.

One of John Rychnovsky's boys
met with an accident one day last
week which very nearly proved fatal.
John was. out in the field cutting
corn with binder and was working
four horses on the machine.
The boy went to the field and went
up behind the machine while it was
in motion when one of the arms
which move the bound bundles
caught him by the head and brought
it up against the machine.
He screamed and John stopped
the horses as quickly as possible but
the boy was not able to free himself
30 tightly was he held by the arm
against the machine. John had to
back up the team and then use all
his force to free the boy. ...:
