POLITICAL PROSPECTS

1t seems pretty certain now tha
Col. Roosevelt will be candidate
for the presidential nomination.
President Taft will not strike his
colors in advance of the conven-
ton, it is said, SO there will be
pretty trial Of strength between
the two. 1t seems just now as
if the one who will suffer the
most by the recrudescence Of
Rooseveltism will be LaFollette.
AS to the other candidates, there
are few worth mentioning at pres
ent in the ranks of the Republi-
can party.
Among the Democrats the situa
ton is still unchanged. Wilson,
Clark and Harmon continue to
be the most discussed. Bryan has
very strong influence and it
seems to be felt that without his
indOrsement no man can get the
Democratic nomination. He is
friendly to Clark, bat he has been
somewhat lukewarm toward the
Missourian Of late. Nevertheless,
Clark seems to be growing steadi-
ly if gradually, while some of his
rivals are losing ground. Take
it all in all, the situation is one
of absorbing interest to all
students of politics.

ALLEGED BLACKAANDER TRIED
Sully County Man, Accused of
Writing Threatening Letters,
Valves Examination

Pierre, Jan. 1O.-At the hear
ing OF Lee Canaan charged with
writing the letters demanding
money of Esselbrugge and
Thorpe in Sully county, before U.
S. Commissioner McCord, after
the government presented their
case, the defendant waived fur
tner examination, and was bound
over to the next term Of Federal
court, which meets here this
month.
The evidence introduced by the
government made the case look
rather serious for the young man,
whose friends had hoped that he
would be able to clear himself
satisfactorily at the preliminary
hearing, especially for the sake
of his parents, who have many
friends here.
He furnished bonds for his ap-
pearance.
The evidence introduced by
the prosecution was purely cir
cumstantial, showing that Ca
naan's home was located very
close to the mail box in which
the anonymous letters were plac-
ed, and that there were some
striking resemblances between
Canaan's handwriting and that
of the letters. United States
Inspector Wood, who has had
charge of the case from the be-
ginning, and Assistant Post
master Fred Williams qualified
As handwriting experts, both tes-
titled as to similarities, the lat
ter showing that the sign g."
capital ct" and the letter "y"
were much alike in the threaten
ing letters and in the defendant 8
writing. The defendant offered
no defense, but moved that the
case be dismissed because of
lack of evidence, merely calling
attention to the fact that Inspec-
tor Wood had felt sure that the
writing of Ripley-the mail car
rier discharged by the county
authorities last week on this same
charge-was the same as in the
etters.

ATTEMPTED MURDER WOMAN
Wife of Lyman County Settler
is Shot Through Window by
Unknown Party

Mitchell, Jan. 10.-Officers of
Lyman county are searching for
a mysterious party who attempt
ed to commit murder by killing
of a woman in a lonely cabin,
south of Kennebec, on the Sioux
reservation. Mrs. Tilton Dutch
er was sitting in the house, q
little distance from the window
and beside her was a lighted
lamp. Mr.. butcher was working
at the barn and heard the shot
of gun fired close to the house,
to which place he ran and found
his wife lying across the bed.
The gunshot took effect in the
woman's leg and from the knee
to the ankle more than fifty shot
were embedded in the flesh. The
Oldest child was standing just out
of range of the gun and received
one Of the shots in the ear.
The person who fired the shot
was standing at close range for
a, good portion Of the powder from
the explosion of the gun entered
the room. Sitting in the light of
the lamp Mrs. butcher made a
sure target for the murderer, but
it is believed his aim was made
less true by looking through the
two windows, the storm window
and the one inside the house.
The butchers are at a loss to know
what has promoted the shooting,
for they have resided in that vi
cinity but a year and have no
enemies. Mrs. butcher was TAX
en- to hospital, and it will be
some time before she can be re-
moved.

STATE WILL SOON
NEED A FORESTER

Pierre, Jan. 1O.-State Land
Commissioner Brinker is yet in
Washington in the work of trans
ferring lands between the state
and national government by
which the state gets out of the
forest reserve, and secures in lieu
a tract of land southeast of Gust.
er, on the borders of the forest
reserve, as a reservation of its
own.
The proposed exchange also
contemplates the state securing
tract in the Short Pine forest
reserve in Harding county, and
this part of the transaction ap.
pears to be causing delay, as one
Of the congressional delegation
is opposing that portion Of the
transfer. But the indications are
that the matters of difference will
be adjusted within a short time
and the question of transfer est
tied. Once completed, it will
mean that the state will need a
forester in charge of it's timbe,
tract, and the working out of q
practical manner of handling thu
state timber reserve.

Statement About the Closed
Meade County Bank

Deadwood, Jan 10.-Before
leaving for Mobridge where he
was called to look into the affa-
irs of state bank that suspend
ed, State Bank Examiner Wing
field issued brief statement of
the affairs of the Meade County
bank Of Sturgis which suspended
December 20. The net cash as
sets are 1855 900, the liabilities
S791, 900, and the cash balance
$64, 900.
The suspension was due to the
drouth in that section and
the leaving of the troops from
Fort Meade all summer, many of
the banks loans being on mort
cages which the farmers were
unable at this time to meet, owing
to the lack of crops for two years
Mr.. Wingfield is of the opinion
that the bank will pay depositors
in full but that it will require
two or three years of good crops
to bring it out. The suspension
had no effect on any other bank
in the Hills and is little felt out
side of Sturgis. The bank had
deposits of over $750,OOO,

FREE FREIGHT ON SEED GRAIN
South Dakotas Railroad Com
missioner Secures Appreciat-
ed New Years Gift In Free
Freight Rates For Seed Grain

Sioux Falls, Jan. 1O.-Dr. w
G. Smith, a member of the state
board of railroad commissioners
who has just returned from Chi.
cago. has brought the people OF
that part of the state lying west
of the Missouri river, and of
four counties lying east of the
river, a substantial New Year s
present, in the form of free
freight rates on seed grain which
will be needed for the coming
season.
The railroads which have con.
sented to grant free freight rates
on seed grain hauled to those por
tions of South Dakota mentioned
are the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy, the Chicago & Northwest
ern, the Pierre & Rapid City,
the Chicago Milwaukee & Puget
Sound, the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul and the Minneapolis
& St Louis.
In discussing the securing of
the rates DR.. Smith said:
"For the past few weeks 1
have been working at the re-
quest of the commission for free
seed rates, and can say that the
greatest obstacle to getting the
same has been the laws. How to
grant to any one but paupers with
out conflicting with the federal
laws, when you have to ship
largely interstate from Min
neapolis, and finally we had to
adopt, so as to comply with the
laws, the plan of shipping direct
to county commissioners west of
the Missouri river who can under
the old statute buy seed grain,
distribute to the farmers and the
cost of the seed becomes a first
lien on the growing crops"
After enumerating the above
railways which have granted the
rate he stated that "they have
agreed to haul to county commits
sioners in the counties tributary
to their lines west of the Missou-
ri river in car lots, free of freigh,
charges, seed grain from Mime
Apolis and points on their line in
eastern South Dakota, who will
buy and distribute the seed grain
at the price at point of loading,
so that the farmer will get the be
lefit of the free freight.
The counties east of the Mis-
souri, river to which the free rate
applies are Faulk, Edmunds, Nc.
Pherson and Walworth. This cor
cession means much for western
South Dakota, for it enables the
farmers to get free of freight
charges the best seed grain in
the northwest. The free rate will
60 into effect in a few days.
