Pierre, S. D.-The execution Of

and point of registration for Bennett
and Mellette county lands from
Gregory to White River appears to
have been stayed for the time being

county extension. including the peo-
pile of Gregory and Winner were
much angered at the action of the
general land office in transferring the
filing point to White River. to which
Murdo, on the Milwaukee. is the
nearest railway point, thus causing
them to lose the large volume of
trade which the ~landseekers would
bring.
Last fall on the occasion of Presi-
lent Taft's visit to South Dakota, a
good sized party of Rosebud boost
ers drove through the 100 miles of
sleet and mud to Pierre, wearing
rosebuds and white hats to greet the
president. They called him out to
the porch of Congressman Burke's
home where he addressed them, and
he again mentioned their long jour
ney in his final speech the next day.
These people appealed over the
head of the department directly to
the president. and he. remembering
their trip to meet him last fall. has
at least temporarily stopped the re-
moval of their land office.

The coyotes are hunting deer in

getting their victim. The forest re-
serve officials have set hundreds OF
traps for the animals but so far re-
suits have not been entirely satisfac-

FAMILY NEEDS HELP

IN THE FIRE AT FAREWELL TUES
DAY j. e. JACQUES LOST ALL
AND is IN NEED OF HELP.

The fire at Farwell Tuesday which
swept away the house and the four
little children of Mr.. and Mrs. j. C..
Jacques leaves he min very desti-
tute circumstances and they are sore
ly in need of financial assistance. The
Western National bank has kindly
consented to act in the capacity of
receiving assistance in this way and
will see that the money is promptly
forwarded to the parents. MIR.
Jacques, who is a school teacher and
lesides at Farwell, had built his
house. which is a story and half
building, but a short time ago, and
the day before the fire he made his
last payment OF money to clean up
the indebtedness. and which took up
every cent of his ready money.
Later details of the fire show that
it started in the kitchen and burn
ed very rapidly. When Mr.. Jacques
left the house he left the door open
and this created a draft and made
the fire burn all the faster. He call
ed to his wife to raise the window
and hand the children out to him.
Mrs. Jacques, in her frenzy, broke
the window with such force that she
lost her balance and fell through to
the ground and broke her arm, also
cutting herself on the glass. Mr.
Jackues got some boxes and piled
them to the side OF the house and at
tempted to climb up to the window
but the boxes fell apart. The child.
rem were sleeping on a feather bed
and when the floor fell in three oil
them were covered by the bed and
We're not burned, but smothered to
death. The smallest. a baby, was
burned beyond recognition. The
children We're all under I years OF
age.
Reed Bontee, a near n%eighbor, saw
the fire and ran to the assistance
with a ladder, hoping to save the
children. BY the time he reached
there the house a enveloped il
flames and there was no chance fol-
their release from tie burning
building.
Mr.. and airs. Jacques will take
their four children back to their ole
home in Ohio for interment.
