CAN SALOONS ENTER
A RESERVATION?
Startling Question Brought Up in
Federal Court at Pierre
for Decision.

Pierre, Oct. l4.-One Of the
contentious raised in the United
States court here at the last term,
if sustained by the court would
allow the location of saloons in
practically any of the towns on the
old Cheyenne river reservation
country regardless of congressional
prohibition imposed for twenty
five years from the time Of the
opening. The point was raised
by l.. L. Stephens in the defense
Of Ambrose Travesie and Whit
ney Travesie, who were both ar
rested at Duptee for introducing
liquor into an Indian reservation.
AS the government agents had
taken the liquor from both defend
ants at Dupree and are holding it
as evidence, there is no question
as to that part of the charge, but
the contention raised is that the
oongressi ma prohibition does not
apply to railway right of way, or
streets, or lots sold to private
individuals in the townsites set
aside by the government before the
opening of the reserve. If the
court should sustain that conten-
ton, it would open the whole Of
that Indian country as licensed
section instead Of closed territory.

FIGURING COST
OF PAMPHLETS
Election Pamphlets Under New Law
Cost the State $1,000
Counties More.

Pierre, Oct. ii Assistant Sec
retary John T. Nelson has footed
up the cost of sending out public
ity pamphlets giving information
as to constitutional amendments
and laws to be submitted to the
people. His figures cover the cost
of printing the pamphlets and ty-
ing them for sending out to the
counties, as the law requires the
counties to pay the expressage or
postage on the shipments from the
state, and his figures show a total
cost to the state Of $l3, $40. To
this, to get the total cost would
need be added the express on
packages sent to the counties,
along with the envelopes and post
age for mailing, with whatever ex-
pense would be added for clerk
hire for such work. AS most Of
the counties, if not all, sent the
pamphlets out bearing one cent
stamps, this expense was not
heavy, but now the voters are call
ing on the newspapers to tell them
what laws they are to vote upon,
but do not appear to be getting
any hearty response to their re-
quests.
