SAYS REPORT is UNTRUE

Deadwood Pioneer-Times: Re-
port comes from Pierre that Cover
nor Vessey offered to resign several
months ago, and turn the office over
to the lieutenant governor, if the
latter would allow him to draw the
salary to the end of the term and put
up a cash bonus of So, 700 90. The
lieutenant governor agreed to give up
the salarv, but bucked on the twenty
seven hundred. After the governor
had made the eastern tour with other
little governors he is said to have cut
the price and was willing to resign
for the salary and ST ,25O,0O. This
was agreeable, but the would be gov
ernor did not have that amount of
ready cash, so the deal was called off.
This was told the Pioneer Times by
a gentleman who has his office in the
state house and draws a salary from
the state. If strictly true, the moral
need not be pointed. -

PROMISES IN FORCE TILL 1915

The arrogant bosses that have
bossed in state affairs during the six
years last passed, are much alarmed
at the quite noticeable wave of popu-
lar favor that is sweeping over the
state, and in the direction of George
w. Egan, for governor. This wave
is blowing with equal force against
the candidate of the bosses. Frank
NJ. Byrne. That the bosses are alarm
ed and restless at this time is not
news to those who knew of the des-
perate methods practiced by them to
defeat Mr.. Egan in the campaign Of
1910. In the closing days of that heated
campaign, in order to secure force
and influence" that would go long
way toward bringing about the defeat
of Mr.. Egan, the bosses sent Chairman
Cook of his wing of the republican
party to Chicago clothed with authority
to make all the necessary concessions
to a railroad company and urge the com
pany to activity in this state. The one
thing that is hurting the bosses at this
time is those unredeemed promises that
the expiration of time alone can fully
terminate.
Unless the tide of public favor can be
gotten under the absolute control of the
bosses soon Mr.. Byrne's chairman may
again be seen fastening to Chicago.

EASIER FOR THE SETTLERS
Senate Concurs In Amendments to
CANDLES Indian Land Bill

The senate of the United States has
concurred in the house amendments
to Senator CANDLES bill to extend the
time of payments on lands in the
Cheyenne and Standing Rock reser
vations. The bill as it now stands
permits settlers to leave the land after
residence of fourteen months, gives
one year more in which to meet the
first of the five annual payments and
gives six years instead of five for
completing all payments. There are
about 100000 acres in the tract TIC
which these provisions apply. They
have not been fully entered upon, but
under the easier conditions imposed
by the present bill it is expected that
the remainder will be taken up rap
idly.
