ATTAINS HEALTH AND
HOMESTEAD THROUGH
PLUCkY PERTINACITY
Former Des Moines Young
Woman Wins Valuable Farm
Near Faith.

Rapid City, S.. D., Feb. 4.--By a new
ruling made by the interior department,
Miss Bessie White, formerly of Des
Moines, Ia, but now a homesteader
near the new town of Faith, Will be
allowed to prove pon $50 acres of the
best lam in this now famous section of
the state.
In 1903 Isaac w. Richards, of Joliet,
Ill, filed on the sk of the neA Of
section A, township IL north of range
lots Richards claim embraced 100
acres. The local land office advised
him that his filing did not come within
the construction of the law of a
technical" homestead, and gave him
80 days to amend his application.
Thinking to outwit the government,
Richards held to his filing on the 100
acres. Miss White, a dressmaker, out
of health, came to the hills and by
advice of friends decided to tax up a
homestead and selected the same tract
as did Richards. She, however, filed
on three 40-acre tracts and one lot,
making in all $50 acres. After build
ing her shack, she started in to prove
up and has kept steadily on h job.
Richards contested her right to file on
land already filed on by himself and,
ahtSi years vi iitiSalioH,
Secretary Lewis c.. Laylin. of the in
terror department, has decided that
Richards filing on the 100 acres is
contrary to the true construction of
he mou of acreage in a Technical"
homestead. This caves Miss White in
possession of her $50 acres.
Since filing IN the land a railroad has
been built through it and it lies almost
within the confines of the new town
of Faith. Land experts have offered
Miss White several thousand dollars
for a REIMBURSEMENT of the land, but
she has determined to hold on to 1t
and establish a permanent home there,
where she has regained her health.

NEW YORK, May i3.--Losses ag-
gregating s2r5e0. 600 by British inves-
tors in the formation OF the National
Steel and Wire company in 1904. and
the reorganization of the concern as
the National Consolidate Wire and
Cable company are the basis OF a
suit fled in the Supreme court today
by sixty-two. investors who have
claims of from loco to $4,000 for
stock purchased under false represen-
tations OF Henry Huntington and the
late Everett r. Webster, one time
president of the National Steel and
Wire company. who died in 1907.

defendant. and will he called on to
reimburse the plaintiffs. If they win
! the suit. is the nephew OF the late
Coils r. Huntington and the chief
beneficiary under his will. Ogden
Mills and Henry w. Munro as voting
trustees of the National Consolidated
Wire and Cable company. are named
as party defendants. but the plaintiffs
say this is done merely to bring all
parties to the proceedings before the
court.
Similar to Recent Suit.
The suit filed today is similar to a
suit brought in the federal court IN
behalf OF sixteen other investors who
lost their money in the consolidation
Of wire and fire fence concerns by
Huntington and Webster in 1902. The
latter suit was dismissed recently by
Judge Ward on the ground that the
alleged cause OF action was founded
on law rather than equity, but the
State court recognizes no distinction
in such n case since the suit filed to-
day asks both that the acts of the
plaintiffs In accepting alleged worth
less stock be annulleds and they have
judgment for the loss sustained
through the acts. of Huntington and
Webster.
The suit also contains new charge
that the firm OF ]. r. Morgan a. COM
aid them in perpetrating q fraud upon
the plaintiffs, because the Morgan firm
was itself deceived by the false rep
reservations OF Huntington.
A1lcge Fraudulent Prospectus.
The complaint says that Hunting
ton and Webster were endeavoring
to sell their stock in the National
Steel and Wire company. and inducing
the plaintiffs to surrender their bonds
IN the national wire corporation for
the steel and wire stock. They pre-
pared false and fraudulent prospec-
tus. 1t is alleged. because they had
just obtained control Of the safety
insulated wire company. and were
DESTROYS OF disposing Of this stock at

WASHINGTON. May ls.-Plans
for the reorganization and rehahilsta-
ton of the Republican party are go
ing forward in a way that Is entirely
satisfactory, not only to Senator Cum
Minis and the progressive Repuhii-
cans, who trekked out to Chicago
last week for a conference on the
subject, but the regular Republicans.
with a few exceptions are giving en-
couragement to the movement.
1t was learned today from a refia-
BILE source that the Republican nation
al committee has been poled. and a
majority of its members are in favor
of calling national conference of
Republicans for the purpose of reach
ing a better understanding, and work
ing together for the regeneration of
the party. The only question that
remains controverted is as to the date
for calling the convention. Senator
Cummins and his friends favor an
early convention. not later than Sep
TENDER. Senator Root and some of
the other conservative Republicans,
believe it would be wiser to have the
convention postponed until next year.
May Act Next Week.
The first step towards calling for
a convention probably will be taken in
Washington next week, when the exc
cutive committee of the Republican
national commission meets here.

mitee. issued the call for the meet
