SIOUX CITYANS WILL
GET MONEY GIVEN TO
INDIAN ON MORTGAGE
Fund Furnished Poor TO to Buy
Cattle Was Spent for Auto
and Other Luxuries,

Rapid city, S. D., March 3.--Judge
MCGEE has recently decided q demurrer
filed In the suit brought by Steele. Sim
an a. Company, OF Sioux City, against
Jimmy Wild, in which he holds that
an Indian can mortgage his property
without the consent OF the agent Ia
charge Of the reservation In which he
resides.
Wild Is q Sioux Indian and about two
years ago secured $1,000 from Steele,
Sitnan q Company, OF Sioux City, with
the understanding that he was to pur-
chase and ship the firm cattle. Instead
Wild purchased An automobile and
spcnt the balance of the money in
riotous living.
He was arrested on the charge OF
obtaining money under false pretenses,
but the suit was not pushed. Steele.
Sinnan g. Company, accepted notes
given by wild TO cover his defalcatior.
and the notes were secured by mort
cages on real estate owned by tho In
dian in Washabaugh and Stanley cou'l-
ties, also some personal property.
When Wild tailed to pay h inter-
est on the notes the commission COM
pany started suit for foreclosure.
Former United States Attorney
Wagner, appeared for Wild and en-
tered the defense that his client being
an Indian could not legally mortgage
his property. To this Attorney Bangs
demurred on the ground that the land
had been purchased by the Indian and
he held IL In fee simple and not as an
allotment from the government.

CHURCH WORKERS DIVIDED
ON QUESTION OF DANCING

Aberdeen, s.. D., March 3.-The dance
question IS causing agitation in the
ranks OF the Aberdeen ". w. G, Al. an
organization which is not allied with
the national organization or that name.
Mrs. Bina9 Wilcox, president Of the So
ciety. recently wrote a communication
to q local paper, asking for an express
sion Of opinion as to- whether dancing
should be allowed in the building. She
explained that personally she believed
1t would be entirely proper to let the
fashioned square dances, and these
alone, were permitted. She was OPP
posed to the tango, the hesitation
waltz, and other modern dances, or
even the waltz OF any sort, but thought
there could be no harm, and nothing
but wholesome amusement In permit
ting the square dances, which were
s'nothing more than games set TO
music Her plan brought forth a re-
ply from the Rev. J. Rosser Jones,
pastor OF the Presbyterian church, in
which he severely condemns Mrs. VIII
cox for suggesting that dancing-even
the square dances-be permitted in q
building bearing the name ~. w. c..
Al" and denounces the local organiza-
ton for assuming the name OF Young
Women's Christian Association with
out formal adherence TO the national
organization. The Rev. 4. ]. Dent
pastor OF the Congregational church,
on the other hand. approves Mrs. Will
cox's plan as "a fine solution OF q
vexed problem" Rev. ]. w. HySlop,
rector OF st. Marks church also APP
proves IL, while Rev. G. r. Stnrtz, pas
tor OF the Evangelical church, disap-
proves quite strongly. 4
