DROUGHT STRICKEN FARMERS
PROSPER AS WOLF HUNTERS

Hot Springs, s. d., April 6.--Wolf
hunters have been very active In this
county and the county auditors rec
ords show that 1,418 coyote pelts have
been presented for bounty during the
three menths of 1912 just closed. The
total since August 1 last year, when
the current year began. is 2,245 coyote
skins and two wolf hides.
With the failure Of crops, a number
of ranchers have made wolf hunting
a vocation and 1t has paid very well.
Dee Billups and his brother. Al Billups,
who live below hero on the Cheyenne
river, have followed their traps very
systematically and Dee has turned In
about 500 skins for bounty, while his
brother Is not far behind.
County Auditor j. p. Herman has cut
of the lips of the skins in a way that
prevented the same skin being counted
more than once, vet it Is a mystery to
him where 80 many hides come
from.
The banks have been cashing these
wolf bounty warrants at a slight dis
count, and when the appropriation is
divided pro rata on these warrants II
may develop that they have paid too
much for them.

RETREAT where RITES
OF AB0RlCINE MAY Be
Performed IN SECRET
Plan to Set Aside Scenic En-.
vironment for Indian Revels
in the Black Hills.

RapiG City, S. D., April e.-Some,
thing like two years ago, a movement
was started here by Frank Lockhart,
who has a wide acquaintance among
the Sioux Indians, to provide them a
place in the Black Hills that they sould
use for rites and celebrations. At that
time 1t was but a state move, but 1t has
taken q more important phase now
since those interested are endeavoring
to get the government to set aside a
section in which the Indians can me-
morialize the greatness of their de-
parted chiefs and also use it for camp
ing purposes.
Several spots have been suggested.
Dark canyon, LEI here, a picturesque
but at present useless scenic wonder,
and the old Gordon stockade near Gus
ter, famous for it's early day Indian his
tory. being among tho foremost points
mentioned. In the Dark canyon 1t Is
possible for the Indians to carve and
paint the walls on the sides of the
canyon with some of their inscriptions
and legends that were familiar to them
when they used the Black Hills for
hunting purposes before the white
man made his entrance here, 81 years
ago.
This move follows the recent work
of Rodman Wanamaker, a son OF John
Wanamaker, the former postmaster
general. who has equipped several ex-
petitions into Montana to perpetuate
the customs of the North American In
dian. 1t Is believed that Mr.. wanna
maker can be interested in the present
movement, and be will be appealed TO
In behalf Of it to use his influence with
the government.
Indians from the different reserva-
tions in the state will be here next
week. and 1t is proposed to then get
some of the best known chiefs to be-
come active in furthering the plan for
the Indians sacred spot.

LOWS HAT IN RING:
ANSWER TOCASTLE

wish to re-affirm the statement that
1 made at the last meeting of the
Beard of Supervisors that the Pahoa
Lumber Mill has a monopoly on ohia
blocks" / did not say that that COM
pany is interested in the Rapid Tran
sit Company nor vice versa, When ]
said that the Pahoa Lumber Mill mas
a monopoly of ohia blocks, said this
with reference to present conditions.
The Supervisors have before them the
question of the immediate paving of
the sections between the Rapir Tran
sit rails, and one foot outside there
of on King and Queen streets. | say
immediate paving, not paving at siome
indefinite time in the future, say six
months or year, and Mr.. Cc5tle
knows that he has the monopoly of
ohia blocks for this work, therefore,
when he says he has not a monopoly,
he does not tell the truth, and he
knows it. 1t may be in the indefinite
future other parties could supply sea-
soned ohia blocks, for paving but they
can be supplied by the Pahoa Lumber
Mill al this time and by none else.
Hence Mr.. Castles present monopoly
of ohia blocks.
