Intended for use by Mr.. Bates person
ally, under the direct orders of a ply
stefan. On the route home Bates en-
countered a friend driving another con-
Veyance, In the rear SOFT OF which two
strange men We're riding.
The conEeyances We're halted while
Mr: Bates conversed with his friend,
and IN the course of hat conversation
asked the friend and the two
to partake of some OF his LIQUID re-
treshments. They complied and a few
days later Bates was placed under ar
rest for introducing liquor upon the
I'm Ridge reservation. One of the
strangers was a government agent who
was looking for violators of the law
which prohibits the introduction Of
liquor on Indian reservations.
Mr.. Bates reputation has never been
brought in question. His father,
Charles II. Rates, of Yankton, has a
wide reputation as a ciyil engineer.
and his mother was a daughter Of one
OF the pioneer families of Dakota, that
Of Major Fl. G.. Ash. The young man
IN h case was married to a Miss
Cooper. a Canton young woman, short
~ after his appointment at Pine Ridge
and his superiors in the Indian service
pay him the highest compliment in
connection with his work.
The minimum penalty attached to
the@law violation of which Mr.. Bates is
accused is several months in TAIL and
a fine of 500, and his friends are en-
deavoring to induce the authorities to
consider his case as one OF
ia-as-much as he had obtained the
liquor for medicine.
The authorities. however, are said to
be disinclined to make an exception of
any nature. Judge James d. Elliott,
OF the federal court. before whom
Bates was arraigned, is a persconaI
friend of the young man, having
known his family for years, at Yank-
ton, and Judge Elliott is said to have
been shocked beyond expression when
the indictment came before him. The
case is n which has called for ex-
pressions of sincere regret.

POSSIBLE IRRIGATION BY
STORING BOX ELDER WATERS

Rapid City, S. D.. Sept. 9.-State En-
gineer Lea was recently here from
Pierre and with County Commissioner
Henry Corder spent a day on Box
Elder creek, viewing sites for a dam
for conservation purposes.
Mr.. Lea stated before leaving that
the Box Elder irrigation proposition is
one Of the most feasible in the north
west, and would, with a moderate out
lay, bring 5000 acres under ditch.
AT the time the government selected
the Belle Fourche site, the Box Elder
proposition was considered and aband-
oned because the water of the creek
disappear near the point where it was
desired to build the dam. Under the
present plan 1t is proposed to conserve
the flood waters Of the creek at a
point further west. It has been noted
that during flood periods the creek
flows full to it's banks over the gravel
bottoms where in normal times the
water percolates through the gravel
and disappears.
BY impounding the water in an i'm
mense reservoir an artificial flood con-
dition an be created at any time and
land all along the creek bottom and
on the divides easily irrigated.

Real Estate Man.

Sioux Falls, S. D, Sept. I0-Follow-
ing the action of the United States cir.
nit court of appeals in denying a new
trial TO Charles l.. Hyde, a wealthy
resident of Pierre, convicted in The
federal court in Sioux Falls on the
charge of using the mails for fraudu-

by q jury in the federal court in Sioux
Falls before Judge Elliott last Deem
Der. The trial extended over about two
weeks and was watched with keen in
terest by many thousands of South Da-
kotans. Evidence was introduced to
prove that Hyde had represented to
people in the east that lots which he
had for sale in the outskirts of Pierre
would rise rapidly in price, and had
induced many on these representations
to invest their savings in these lots,
which We're Of but little IL any value.
He had informed the investors by

Pierre had a number of natural ad-
~vantages, and that there were valuable
minerals in its vicinity. Maps were
mailed showing street car lines run
nings past the lots which he offered for
sale, when. as a matter of fact, there
were no street car lines in Pierre. Hyde
was convicted by the jury on three
counts, on which he was sentenced De-

South Dakota Veterinarian
Visits Scene Of Infection and
Is Much Alarmed.

Deadwood, S. D., Sept. &C. A. Les
lie, Of this city, deputy state veterin-
airy urgeon, has just returned from
the districts In northern Kansas and
southern Nebraska where a fatal di-
sease among horses is killing thous-
ands Of those animals. He was adj
vised by his father, also a veterinary
surgeon, ct Belvediere, Neb.. that the
disease Is much Increased in violence
and extent in that territory.
DR.. Leslie has advised the authorit-
les of South Dakota to quarantine the
south line of this state to prevent the
entrance of horses from Nebraska into
South Dakota, and rigorous action is
expected to be taken. DR.. Leslie, after
exhaustive analyses of blood Of horses
killed by the disease, ~pronounces it
trypanozoma, a malady affecting the
intestinal tract and nervous system.
Fifteen hundred horses succumbed in
the period of four days in northern
Kansas during DR.. Leslie's recent visit,
and hundreds of others were afflicted.
The animal usually lives so hours aft
er becoming sick. DR.. Leslie says the
disease resembles "maIdxdecarderos."
the widely known South American
horse fatality in some of It's symptoms.
He thinks the disease is infectious and
is carried by insects, judging from the
results of his investigation up to date.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. State veteri-
marian Bostrom, who returned from &
tour of the state in connection with
ravages Of the mysterious horse di-
sease, made a gloomy report on condi-
lions In sections visited.
The disease. he said, exists in the
southern part of the state from Fair
bury to McCook nj from Columbus to
Merna, in the north central district.
In Phelps county alone he found
there had been 500 deaths of horses so
far. and scores are dying every day.
The ailment is not limited to ami
mails in poor condition, Mr.. Bostrum
said, but has claimed some of the
finest herds.
The state veterinarian diagnosed the
disease as a species Of cerebro spinal
meningitis, but somewhat different
from other v~isitations of like char
acter and much more deadly.
Mules, he found, were nearly ex-
empt, there being only two fatalities
among them SO far as reported to him.
No remedy to combat the disease has
been discovered, he said.
