JACK SULLY'S WIDOW
AWARDED SMALL EMPIRE

Sioux Falls, S. D., March Mrs.
Mary Sully, widow Of Jack" Sully, the
socalled king of the cattle rustlers,'
who was shot and killed some years
ago during a running fight with feder-
al officers, and her children and other
descendants, by a decision handed
down here by Judge James D. Elliott,
Of the United States court. are awarded
more thar SO quarter sections of land,
aggregating more than 5000 acres,
situated in the coded portion of he
Rosebud Indian reservation in Gregory
county.
At a conservative estimate the Ian
is worth at least $250,00O. So far as he
value of the property involved is con-
cerned the case is the most important
ever tried in the federal court for
South Dakota.
Numerous residents of Chicago,
Omaha and other cities had rendered
homestead entries on the lands in
volved in the case, these being held
in allegiance pending the decision of
Judge Elliott. Unless the decision Of
Judge Elliott is overturned by higher
courts the intending homesteaders will
not be permitted to make entry of the
farms sought by them.
Although Mrs. Suily and her descend
ants on the indian side are Yankton
Sioux Indians, they neglected their al
lot1nent rights on their reservation and
moved to the Rosebud reservation and
sought to be allotted the lands in
volved in the action decided today.
Their applications We're rejected on the
ground that they could not rightfully
take their allotments elsewhere than
on the Yankton reservation. Mrs. Sully
and her children and descendants
claimed the right to the allott-l lands
on the Rosebud reservation through the
mother of Mrs. Sully, by reason of her
having been adopted into the Brule
Sioux tribe of Indians, who occupy the
Rosebud reservation.
Mrs. Sully, although e mixed blood
Indian, a accumulated considerable
wealth in addition to her portion of the
lands now awarded to herself and de-
scendants, she being the owner OF
horses valued at between s25, 900 and
$4,000.

AFRICAN DISCOVERED IN
BRIDGE CONTRACT LAW

Pierre, S. D., March 4.-State Engi-
neer Samuel II. Lea has just returned
from a conference of the state engi-
neers of several western states at chi
cago, where matters pertinent to their
work were discussed. The South pa
kota bridge law Chapter 90 laws, 1911)
was considered. Mr.. Lea points out two
mischievous defects in the same, ana
says that evidently the law was in
spired" by some bridge company. In
the first place the statute provides
that the county commissioners snail
secure plans n specifications for all
bridges to be constructed IN the county
during the ensuing year, and let con-
tracts before March 4, for the building
of the same tS the lowest responsible
bidder, with the option of rejecting all
bids. MIR. Lea points u the Niger
in the wood pile" The March 4 clause
makes it incumbent upon a commission.
provided 1t wants to build n new
bridges the coming year to accept the
lowest bid, no matter how satisfactory,
because If it rejects the same and
calls for new bids, they cannot be Sc
cured in same. He shows the sec
curing contracts for all bridges to be
let at so much per lineal foot. A 30
foot bridge can ordinarily be built q
good deal less per foot hat q lOO-foot
bridge, yet contracts for h two must
be let at one time, n the contractor
to protect himself will most likely
charge the sum per foot which will
make the building of the larger bridge
profitable.

More Deaths Than Births.
The number OF births last year,
according to Nj. Koltz, was only
742, ia in the whole Of France,
against 857, ,27I decade ago. In
1907 and 1911, he said, the deaths
actually exceeded the births.
This was, he continued, a sad
state of things aud danger to
the couutry, placing France in a
situation of inferiority in com
parison with the other great
nations.
The lower birth rate, while a
perplexing phenomenon among
all civilized peoples, was, the
