INDIANS CLAIM FUNDS
HELD BACK UNLAWFULLY

, Aberdeen, S. D., Jan. 3O.-There is
general unrest among indians of the
Cheyenne reservation in western South
Dakota over the manner in which the
government had held up trust funds
belonging to them, and a general coun-
Gil of Sioux Indians west Of the river
will be called in the near future to
meet at Cherry creek to discuss the
matter preparatory to laying the claims
before the board Of Indian affairs at
Washington.
AT the present time several hundred
thousands of dollars belonging to the
Indians are held in trust by the gov
eminent, these funds accruing from the
sale of Indian lands. Although it is
understood many of the indian families
are in a destitute condition, none Of
these funds can be had.
Since the custom of leasing lands on
the reservation to the large cattle in
terests was established 20 years ago,
h Indians have been gradually
forced out Of the stock business, until
today but few own any stock of their
own. 1t is proposed by the chiefs of
the several tribes to compel the gov
eminent to urn over a portion of these
funds to enable the Indians to enter
stock raising for themselves.

MUNICIPAL PHONE SYSTEM
UNDER FIRE AT MITCHELL

Mitchell. S. D., Jan. So.-The con-
stitutionality of the South Dakota
statute permitting municipalities to
construct and operate telephone sys-
TENS was attacked by counse for
T.. j. Spangler in the suit brought by
him to enjoin the city of Mitchell from
building the 100000 system authorized
at a special election last June.
L. HI. Null, of Huron, general counsel
for the Dakota Central Telephone COM
pany, who represented Mr.. Spangler in
the suit, argued that a telephone
system vas an internal improvement
and as such was inhibited by the state
constitution. 1t was further argued
that the majority of the voters of the
city had not voted in favor of the is
suance of the bonds.
The contention of the city is the
case, which was heard by Judge Robert
3. Trip, of Yankton, sitting for Judge
Frank B. Smith, is that the con-
stitutional provision applies only to
the state government as to the limit of
legal Indebtedness and that under the
law the limit is as high as Is per cent
OF the city's assessed valuation.

WARNED
AGAINST AN ILLINOIS
Live STOCK Dealer
Official Letter Is Sent to the
Farmers and Dairymen
of State.

Pierre, S. D.. Jan. 3o.-Secretary
Cock. Of the Live Stock Sanitary board.
is serteing out an official letter warn
ing farmers and dairymen against buy
ing dairy cattle shipped from n
James Dorsey, Of Gilbert and Pingree
Grove, Ill. The letter states that
Dorsey goes to places where t%ubercular
tests are being made in dairies, and
buys up cattle discharged in those
tests as unfit to meet the requirements,
and in turn ships these out and sells
them to unsuspecting buyers after
fixing up a health certificate Of his own
for the cattle. The Sout! Dakota board
reports that eight carloads of this stock
have been shipped into South Dakota,
and it is presumed that a considerable
part of the stock is affected with
tuberculosis. The shipments have
been made into Is states, the letter
says, and the South Dakota board has
on file a letter sent out broadcast by
the state veterinarian Of Wyoming
against the same man.

DIRECTING FARMERS GET
OUT OF TOWN CORPORATION

Brookings, s. d.. Feb. BY recent
action Of the city council, five square
miles of farming lands within the city
limits have been segregated and att
tached to an adjoining township. The
resident owners of these lands claimed
that the municipal taxes were burden
some and that they did not receive any
benefits in h way Of privileges of the
water system and fire protection. The
question OF segregation has been agi-
tated for Years With the result tina the
petitioners have at last been granted
their request. The school district will
remain h same as it was and they
will pay their school taxes as before.
While the city will lose a few hun
dred dollars Of revenue, this will be
compensated in part by being relieved
OF he expense of the upkeep Of about
eight miles Of country road.
