Aberdeen, s.. D.. Sept. 2O.-Three can
didates are already In line for appoint
fnent as Judge of the Fifth circuit TO
succeed Judge Frank MsNulty, who
has announced that he will resign
shortly on account OF his candidacy
for the republican nomination for con-
gress from the Second district, and
there Is probably more to come. The
three candidates are Thomas j.. Bouck,
OF Milbank. Frank Anderson, of Web
ster, and Clarence q. Newcomb, Of
Aberdeen.
Newcomb rs a tentative. rather than
an active candidate, having stated that
some OF his friends among the Aber-
det,;t attorneys have suggested his can4
dfda y. and that he liz considering the
matter. Anderson and Bouck are both
avowed candidates. 1t is probable the
Aberdeen Bar association will soon
hold a meeting to decide upon its choice
for the place, and that later the bar
OF the Fifth circuit will hold a. meeting
for the same purpose.
Some Of the Aberdeen lawyers hold
that an outsider should be chosen for
the place, inasmuch as Aberdeen all
ready has two candidates for the nomi-
nation for congress, in McNulty and

INDIANS WANT TO FARM;
REFUSE GRAZING LEASES

Pierre. S. D., Sept. 23.-Cattle men
who have had large range rights on
the Indian lands west Of the Missouri
river are getting ready to- ship out
their stock, al Indians are refusing to
renew the leases. In many cases the
Indians are themselves devoting their
lands to cultivation with greater finan-
cial success, and in so doing are build
ing up homes and giving UP their ca
reers of idleness. b. O.. Mossman, a
prominent and old time renter OF these
lands In the Cheyenne reservation, will
ship out most OF his cattle this year
because OF these conditions. An adj
ditional reason is that many inherited
tracts OF land are being sold to the
white people, and these portions are
scattred over large areas, making
difficult.

l9f early government surveyors in TAX
ing al old fence corner as the base
upon which to run lines has played
havoc with the boundaries Of home
steads in this vicinity. A new and Of
fetal survey now Is being made, and
this has developed that the old lines
were far out OF place. Some hone-
steaders who have made valuable inn
provements upon their land will be
compelled to amend their homestead
entries in order to- get the land they
thought they had filed upon. But in
many cases they will be unable to se-
they were entitled, at the time Of maxi
Ing their original entries. The LeSueur
brothers, living near here, will be seri-
ouRly injured by the changes brought
about by the resurvey. The land they
supposed they had filed upon proves
to be decided land and the government
cannot take Ii away from its present
survey cuts Off the best of their culti-
waited lands and q part of their build
ings and depriyes them OF a river
frontage which they supposed they
possessed, One Of the brothers will
have to move his fences and build

survey in boundary lines recalls the
who in the early days surveyed much
of that part OF the state lying east
OF the Missouri river, who stated that
as il was believed in pioneer days that
eastern South Dakota would be
fit for ~habitation, no care whatever
was taken in running the survey lines.
The old surveyor told of a surveying
party, OF which he was member, that
made a practice of a~scertaining dis
tances while making surveys by wrap
ping a piece OF flannel about the wheel
OF a wagon and then by counting the
revolutions OF the wheel and figuring
the distances.

Sisseton, s.. D., Sept. 23.-On August
10, 1898, when Sisseton was a very
small town, water works" bonds ag-
gregating 81, 500 were issued by the
city, the denominations of the bonds,
three in number, being $500 each.
While purporting to be water works
bonds, the real purpose OF the issue
was to secure a college, the promoter
of which had agreed. in consideration
but the other day a lawyer represent
ing Hayden Bros. OF Omaha, appeared
and presented FOR payment two of the
bonds, which had never been paid,
and which, with the accumulated in-
terest, call for nearly $4,000. The city
council decided not to pay the claim
until its validity has been passed up
on by a court.
