A BIT OF PHILOSOPHY

HOlabird News: One day last
week farmer from the north
part Of the county was in our Of
fice inquiring about the legal
features Of transaction in which
some Of the other parties had tri-
ed to come it over him, aud as he
expressed himself, do him up.
Before going out he remarked,
what Il funny world this is, and
asked why it is so many men
are out side of the straight and
narrow path. Uf course we could
not answer the question for in
some one form or another it has
been the problem of the ages.

RETURNED TO PRISON
Will Serve Five Year Term at
Sioux Falls for Grand Larceny
Has Already Served One
Five Year Term.

Several weeks ago a valuable
team of horses was stolen from
man who lives near MurdO.
Sheriff Borcherding was at once
notified of the theft, but was un-
able to accomplish the arrest Of
the supposed guilty party until
last week Friday, when William
George, known as Buffalo"
George, was taken itno custody
south of Murdo. He was brought
to Presho for a hearing, but as
some time was necessarily taken
in securing witnesses, the hear
ing was not held until Tuesday
of this week. Several Indians were
brought to town as witnesses for
the state, the evidence against
the accused being sufficient to
bind him over to the circuit court
bond of 100000 being given
for his release.
For fear of Jail delivery, arm
cd men were kept on guard of tn

AS soon as he had been bound
over and his bond arranged for,
Buffalo George was taken in
charge by the sheriff of Han
son county, who was here with q
bench warrant issued by Judge
Smith. About five years ago Buf-
falo was tried in Hanson county
on grand larceny charge and
was convicted on two different
counts, his sentence being fixed a
five years on each count. It
Seems there was some error made
in the commitment papers and
at the end of five years, with time
off for good behavior, Buffalo
was released from the peniten-
tiary. Instead of compelling him
to serve the other five years at
that time it was thought ad-
visable to let him go so long as
he conducted himself as q law
abiding citizen should. Upon
hearing of his recent trouble,
Judge Smith ut once issued q
bench warrant for George, and he
will be compelled to serve his
other five year sentence. He
has been out about nine months
and we understand this will be
taken off of the five years.

BARLOW IRRIGATION MEETING
Meeting at Fort Pierre Tues
day afternoon Was Well A.
tended and q Permanent Organ
ization Perfected.

AT the call of H. c. Barlow,
of Presho, meeting ives held
ut the court house in this city,
Tuesday afternoon, for the pur-
pose of perfecting an organiza-
tion which will have for its pur-
pose the promotion of one Of the
greatest irrigation projects ever
undertaken.
This project proposes to tap
the Missouri river near the mouth
Of the Yellowstone and bring, 4he
water, through a large canal a.
cross North Dakota and the coun-
ties of Corson, Ziebach, Dewey,
Meade, Stanley and Lyman, in
South Dakota. This water is to
be used for irrigation purposes
and for power Facilities.
The out Of town people who
were present at the meeting wer
State Engineer Lea, immigration
State Polley,H. G. Barlow, Messrs.
Chamberlain and Griffiths the
three latter Of Presho, w. j. Nun
DIT, of the South Dakota Messeng
er, W. II. Burden, publisher of
Oar State, Harry Robinson and
Steve Travis, press ,correspon-
dents, and John Flanagan circuit
court stenographer.
Mr.. Lea gave a short talk in
which he said that the scheme
was entirely practical from an
engineering standpoint. A rough
estimate being that it would take
a ditch two hundred feet wide te
carry the water, that two million
acres could be irrigated and that
the cost would be in the neighbOr
mood of eighty million dollras.
This would mean practically forty
dollars an acre as the cost Of put
ting the water on the land bene-
fitted, which is not excessive as
some OF the western irrigation
projects have cost as much as
$500 per acre.
Mr.. Deets gave short talk in
which he said that he was in for
boosting any thing which would
aid in the development Of this
great state and said that he
would assist the promoters in any
way possible.
After a lengthy discussion it
was decided that a permanent or
ganization be perfected and Fl.
G. Barlow was elected president
and Mr.. Chamberlain secretary.
Both these gentlemen live at
Presho.
A motion was passed that q
committee be appointed to gath
er information relative to the
feasibility of the project, both
from a commercial and engineer
ing standpoint. Messrs. Lea and
Deets were to assist this commit
tee in every way possible.
A resolution committee was ap-
pointed which will formulate a
set Of resolutions and select q
name for the organization. Com
mittees on finance and other mat
ters will be appointed later, all
| of which will report to a meeting
to be called by the president at

not only would this reclaim .

but it would hold back and divert
