SCARCITY OF TW0-YEAR- -0LDS
ON SOUTH DAKOTA RANGES

BELLE FoURcHE, S. D.. Feb. S.-
Especial THAT II will be several years
before the shipments of cattle from this
section get back to normal conditions, is
the opinion Of some of the railroad men
who look after the situation. Belle
Fourche for years held the title of the
largest single shipping point in the coun-
try for cattle and even in the past two
er three years has been keeping well In
the vanguard. The crop failures and
drouth of the past two years made hay
and feed so scarce that most cattle and
sheep owners shipped out what they had
last fall The complete figures for the
1911 shipments over the Chicago &
Northwestern road from here show slI
cars Of cattle. while in 1919 there were
shipped from here ls2ss cars. The sheep
shipments. however, showed an increase,
there being or cars in 1910 and 3l In
1911. the wool shipments also being
heavier.
II is declared that there is q scarcity
Of two-year-olds in Texas and that other
points where stockmsn here usually find
available cattle TO replenish their stock
are equally short and that it will require
several years of good conditions on the
northwestern ranges before the conditions
Of two years ago viii be found. but with
the plenfitnde OF moisture this winter,
and the gradual return now of many of
the homestesders and settlers north Of
here who we're forced out b. the drouth,
the agricultural prospects for this part
Of the state are today far brighter than
they were e year ago

FINE RECEPTION FOR COMMITTEE
People Are Indifferent to Coming
Visit of Republicans,
MANY PROPOSALS ON CAPITAL
Former Premier Believing Inspiring
Division on Choice.
NAME ADOPTED FOR COUNTRY
Nation VIII he Officially EntitIed
.the Great Republic of Chtna,'
to Include All Its
Provinces.

PEKING, Feb. eS.-The government Is
preparing an elaborate reception for the
delegation OF republicans who are COM
ing here under the leadership of Tang
Shao VI from Marking to notify Yuan
Shi Kai of his election as president Of
the republic. The people, however, seem
TO be indifferent respecting the mo-
mentous visit.
kilograms have been received from va
rious sections Of the country embodying
various proposals with respect to the
future capital. 1t is believed that Yuan
shi Kai is secretly inspiring this with
the object of dividing the south on the
matter OF the location Of the capital
While Yuan Shi Kai realizes the i'm
perativeness Of uniting the country, he
is proceeding confidently in the knowl-
edge that he possesses the means Of con,
rerting or politically defeating his op-
ponents. Apparently the country is very
strongly In favor of Yuan Shi Kai as
president. Many soldiers, who are not
republican, have given their full adher-
ence to the president-elect. and Yuan
shi Kai holds the confidence of both
Manchus and Chinese. which indicates
that the suspicious that he was double
dealing for the courts overthrow were
unwarranted.
The new government has decided that
the country shall hereafter be officially
styled The Great Republic OF China"
the word great" being intended to in
elude Thibet, Turkestan. Mongolia and
Manchuria. II has practically been de-
cided to convert the Forbidden City into
a government enclosure, where all the
offices will be situated When the en-
press dowager and the emperor depart,
the extensive grounds about the winter
palace win be converted into public park.

\ shere is change i'm present plans
on Tuesday or Wednesday probably
will go before the grand jury which is
| investigating allegations that his thirty
year sentence for first degree burglary
was the result Of a conspiracy.
The order for the accused valet's re-
lease will be signed by Justice Gerard
Immediately after he has filed his de-
cision granting a writ of habeas corpus,
and will remand him for new trial on
the first degree burglary charge, under
which he still stands indicted.
Brandt, who is likely to be at liberty
for two or three months at least. pending
the decision by the higher courts of the
appeal from the writ TO be made by Dis
trict Attorney Whitman, was reported to-
day TO have asked the district attorney
that he be guarded by detectives during
his freedom. Declaring, 1t is said, that
he feared the strength and power of his
enemies, he was assured by Mr.. Whitman.
according TO the reports. that the pro-
lection would be provided.
Nelson VIII Assist Him.
II is thought not unlikely that the young
swede win take advantage Of the promise
said to have been received from United
States Senator Knute Nelson Of Minne-
sofa, to find him employment in Minne-
sofa and take care OF him pending the
decision OF his case.
Senator Nelson is expected here to con-
fer with the district attorney tomorrow
and may so before the grand jury. The
senator's first interest in the case was
arounsed. 1t is said, through an anony-
nous appeal in Brandt's behalf made by a
woman in carefully prepared typewrit-
ten letter. This and other letters OF the
woman were sent by Senator Nelson to
the Swedish consul here with a reuest
that the facts alleged in them be investi-
gated. The letters, il Is asserted, were
placed in the hands of then assistant
district attorney and Senator Nelson has
not seen them since, nor after that time
did be rgeeIye any further cqmpunica-
lions from their anonymous Author.
Indictments Expected.
II any Indictment should be found by
the grand jury for conspiracy. It Is ex-
pected they will be returned by the latter
part OF the week as IL is understood that
with the exception OF Brandt's testimony
only few loose ends OF the evidence
need clearing up. Carl Fischer Hansen,
the lawyer, once convicted OF suborna-
lion of perjury. who 1t is claimed ap-
peared for Brandt when he was SEN
fenced but who according to Whitman
was not an attorney OF record In the case
at any time. Will be among the remain
ing witnesses called.
Brandt will repeat before the jury, II
Is said. his assertions that he had been
promised a sentence of but one year IL
he pleaded guilty. Indictments against
three persons, according to latest re-
ports are under consideration by the
jury.
