FEDERAL COURT WILL
APPLY POSTAL FRAUD
LAW TO SCALP GRAFT
Wolf Bounty Offenders On
Trial For Using Mails To
Loot State.

Deadwood. S. D.. Aug. 2s.-In the
federal court to be held in this city
September 2, the wolf scalp bounty
cases from Pennington county will be
tried. In the trial of the Fall brothers.
in the circuit court of Pennington
~, they were found not guilty and re-
leased. A postottice inspector. how
ever. took up the trail and after an in
vestigation found that the men had
used the United States mails in the
fraudulent sale of the scalps. 1ndict-
ments We're therefore brought against
the Fall brothers and against H. w.
Hulett. at present in England, where
he went shortly after the state auditor
shed light on the method the men had
employed in their operations. Hulett's
bookkeeper is in Canada at the pres
ent time.
The men did a Wholesale business. it
is alleged. and cleaned up a large uln
of money. In Pennington county, end
ing July l, 1911. 1861 scalps were dis
posed OF. at the rate of 81 each. and
from August 5, 1911 to May, 1912, they
sold SIS scalps. In Fall River county
the business conducted was much
heavier. The state auditors reports
show that for 1911 to June 80, 995
scalps were marketed. and From Oc-
scalps We're sold, aggregating nearly
$4,000. All of this money. however,
was not paid out by the state. as the
auditor is holding a large sun in GER
tificates which will not be paid. and it
is believed by the state department
that SIS, 900 will be recovered from the
parties in Fall River county. In that
county in 1910 between 1900 and LOO
scalps were turned in on which the
mqney was paid. and up to June, 1912,
about 900 were brought in.
The system adopted was to make the
returns on the wolf scalps or hides
when they had none in their possess
sion. This was particularly true in
Fall River county. 1t is stated that
Joe Herman, the county auditor. was
willing at one time to make a confess
sion, but when brought face to face
with the situation he changed his
mind and refused to tell anything Of
importance. AT the trial next week
State Auditor Anderson and other state
officers having knowledge of the facts
will attend n tell what they know
about the matter.

Paris undoubtedly is the most cos
mopolitan center Of education in the
world. The facilities Of study at the
Sorbonne had resulted a year ago
In such a growth Of the foreign ele-
ment at the university that complaints
were widely made that the French stu
dents were crowded out Of the librar-
les and lecture halls. Recently the act
ual figures for the last year have been
made public and they show that the
steps taken to raise the standard of
attainment among the foreign students
have enectually checked the alarming
increase In their numbers. The actual
number Of foreign students during the
last year was 3,467, as against 1856 for
th0 year before.
