That the Ziebach County News,
published at Dupree, has been sold
by Mrs. Lottie kruckman, who
established the paper some four
months ago, to Frank E. Riley.
That John Carroll, fireman on
the Milwaukee railway, running
west from Mobridge, and residing
at that place, is in an Aberdeen
hospital and may die as the result
of an attack upon him by his wife
who is alleged to have chloro-
formed him as he slept by her side
at night and then badly dis6gured
him with a knife. Jealousy is said
to have been the cause of the deed.
That the strangest freak ever
found in Texas, which battles
naturalists, was captured in cave
in Bear county. 1t appears to be
partly human, partly monkey and
partly owl, and jabbers as though
speaking an unknown language.
Part of the body is covered with
feathers and part with hair. and its
face, like monkeys is almost hu-
man. The freak is about 3 feet 2
inches high, and it legs are covered
with hair. 1t has two short wings
with feathers.
That the county commissioners
of Sphinx and Lyman counties have
raised new phase of the liquor IL
cense question which will no doubt
get into the courts in due time.
While several towns in both coun-
ties voted in favor of granting sa-
loon licenses, the bonds on which
licenses must meet the approval of
the county commissioners before
they 60 into effect. In the two
counties mentioned the commits
sioners rejected the bonds of all the
applicants for licenses. Under
such ruling while the towns have
voted in favor of license, and in
most cases the town boards have
authorized applicants for license to
sell, they are yet without saloons
under the action of the county
board.
That never in the history of the
Black Hills has the production of
gold ore been as high as at present
and the output for 1911 will far ex-
coed any previous figure. The
past quarter the local United States
assay Office received over $780,
900 in bullion. The addition of
the Homestake bullion, the in
crease in size and value of the
Wasp bullion and the Golden Re-
ward increase, together with some
new shipments, some from the
southern Hills, has caused the high
figures. The mining outlook in
the Black Hills is today better
than at any time in its history. 1t
is roughly estimated that the 1911
output will total So, 900 900, unless
something unforeseen occurs to de-
crease the present rate of produc-
ton.
That an interesting question of
court jurisdiction has been raised
as the result of an effort to secure
the release from the penitentiary OF
Van Francis Moore, a full-blooded
Sioux Indian. whose home is on
the Cheyenne River reservation.
He is serving a life term for the al
legged murder of Susan lineup, an
Indian woman. Moore was SEN
fenced in Stanley county. and w.
G.. Porter of Sioux Falls, will ell
deavor to secure his release on the
contention that Moore, being an
Indian, and the alleged crime hav-
ing been committed on an Indian
allotment and within the borders
OF the Cheyenne River Indian res
ervation, he should have been tried
in the United States court instead
