came through the big splash dam

MORE LANDS FOR SETTLERS.
Rosebud Appraisement Work Has
Been Resumed

Sioux Falls, S. D., May 4. - The
government appraisers appointed to
make an appralsement OF the surplus
lands of the Rosebud Indian reserva-
tion in Mellette county, after having
abandoned work during the winter,
have again resumed operations and
will push the work of making the
appraiSement to conclusion as
speedily as possible.
The members of the appraising crew
state that they expect to complete
their work about August l next, when
about 100000 acres OF the surplus
land will be ready to be opened to
white settlers as soon as the officials
at Washington can make the neces-
Sary arrangements II Is expected
the Washington end of the arrange
ments can be completed in time to
have the immense tract thrown upon
the market early in October.
1t is presumed that we'll before the
date of the opening a railroad will
have been constructed to the border OF
the tract to be opened, giving home
steaders every opportunity to reach
the land without difficulty. The ter.
minus of the railroad now is at Win
ner, county seat of Tripp county. Di.
rectly west of Winner is the town OF
Carter. which is situated on the Dor.
der Of the millionaire tract which In
to be thrown open for white home
steaders, BY extending westward from
Winner to Carter the homesteaders
who occupy the lands will be given
railroad facilities to the very edge OF
the promised land.
II is certain that one of the greatest
land rushes in the history of the state
will be witnessed when the surplus
Indian lands in Mellette county are
thrown open to settlement. Informa.
tion from that part of the state Is to
the effect that numerous persons who
have decided to attempt to secure
homesteads in Mellette county already
have taken up their residence in the
region near the boundary of the tract
which is to be opened, and will remain
there until the tract is formally open.
ed and they have the right to occupy
homesteads.
The fact that farms in the ceded
portion of Tripp and Gregory coun.
ties, which until few years ago also
were embraced in the Rosebud Indian
reservation, already are worth from
$40 to $50 an acre, making intending
homesteaders all the more anxious 70
secure farms in Mellette county, as in
the course of two or three years at the
latest the land there will be worth
fully as much as land now is worth in
Tripp and Gregory counties.

PEACE CONFERENCE SLOW.
The Work Of Toying to End war viii
Proceed With DeIiberation

Ell Paso, Tex, May 4.-Peace nego-
tiations scheduled to begin today will
probably progress with more than
usual deliberation. owing to the fact
that Judge Carabajal the government
commissioner, will be compelled to
hold frequent consultations with Mex
leo City. The commissioners will meet
in 200-foot ring, roped and guarded
to keep out the curious. Not even
General Madero will be permitted to
enter. Judge Carabajal and DR.. Vas
quez Gomez, the elder Francisco Ma.
dero and Senor Pine Suarez, who rep
resent the insurrectos, will be the sole
occupants of the charmed circle.
The site of the peace conference was
not chosen for the newspaper men. 1t
is the Mexican side of the Rio Grande,
midway between Juarez and the in
surrecto camp. AS General Navarro
will not allow the reporters to pass
through Juarez 1t is necessary to
make the trip to the scene of the
peace negotiations by way of the foot
bridge, near the FL Paso smelter, two
miles beyond the meeting place of the
conferees, which in addition, necessi-
tates the retracing of two miles more
on the Mexican side.

Douglas, Ariz.. May Am attack
on Aqua Prieta is expected here with.

will come under a fire of rebels more
directly than any heretofore expert
enced. The federal garrison has so
arranged its Notifications that an at.
tacking force must fire directly into
the American people on this side Of
the line.
Directly south of Aqua Prieta the
federals have done most of their work,
erecting heavy entertainments with
adobe barricades and sand bags.
In the exact center of the line OF en-.
trenchments they have erected an
adobe block house with a platform on
which to mount machine guns.
The attacking rebels firing from
any angle, will shoot directly towards
Douglas and only bullets stopped by
the block house itself or buildings OF
Aqua Prieta will fail to cross the line.
United States cavalry officers are
in possession of this information and
Washington has been advised OF the

LODGE CONVENTION IN A ROW.
War Of Words Among Women, Fists
Amono Men of ROYAL Neiohbors,

Denver, May A. - fractional differ
ence in the Royal Neighbors, which is
meeting in triennial conclave in this
city, developed into battle OF words
among the women delegates and a
play at fisticuffs between two men.
The trouble started out of the seating
of two Pennsylvania delegates. The
faction which favors Mrs. Z. n. En-
right, chairman of the board, for the
office OF supreme oracle, demanded
that the two delegates be denied seats.
Mrs. Lima NJ. Collins, the present su.
preme oracle, who is candidate for
reelection, favored seating the dele.
gates.
During the debate a man threatened
women who had refused to take sides.
He was approached by another with
fist upraised. Just as it appeared they
would come to blows several women
separated the belligerents.
