INDIANS ANXIOUS TO OWN
GOLDEN EAGLE

Pierre, Feb. 28.-A trapper Of
wolves near Eagle Butte caught
large golden eagle in one Of
his traps, and after q battle with
the bird, which was caught by
one foot, he brought it in alive
and sold it to a merchant of
Eagle Butte, who chained it up
for exhibition in his store. An
Indian living near the place had
SO strong a desire to possess the
captured bird to secure feathers
that he offered his best horse in
trade. The fact that the In.

From all sections Of the state
the newspapers have become har-
bingers OF the prosperity which is
coming to the state this year
Crop predictions in February

of moisture which has fallen dur
ing the winter being excellent
barometers for summer and fall

state if reports be true, the soil
was far more than ordinarily soal

are Mrs. Bess Gentry, her broth

the three are charged is the murd-
er of the womans husband,
Thomas j. Gentry, who was shot
and killed in his home on the
night of January Z. According
to the alleged confession of Mac
key, the love affair between Mrs.
Gentry and him furnished the
principal motive for conspiracy
to kill the husband. A desire to
collect $1,000 life insurance
policy carried by Gentry also is
believed to have influenced the
