remainder Of the year was from so to

Innate effect upon the industry Of the

total Of approximately 100000 tons

In New Mexico the production was
slightly In excess Of the 3.536.S24 tons

John 7. COgan and George
Jameson who spent last week in
Stanley county and the country
west of the river, report cOmdi-

that there has been an unusual
amount of snow in that country
during the winter and spring,
and that the reservoirs, dams
and water holes are all filled
and the ground well soaked with
water. Hundreds of carloads of
stock are being shipped there to
range and fatten on the grasses

those who left the country dur

years ago are returning with
their families and preparing to
again open up farms and en-

week old calves. He still has

THE sUTLEY DIVORCE CASE

Judge Il. B. Tripp, of Yank-
ton, has just rendered his action
in the famous SHley divorce
case. Mrs. Sutley is given "a di-
vorce and alimony Of twenty dol
lars per month so long as she
remains single. About half of
her attorney s costs and expen-
ses of trial are also to be paid
by her husband. This was long
and bitterly fought ease, nine
days with night sessions being
consumed i'm the trial OF the case
at Oacoma and two days later,
in argument of the case at Nit
chell. The testimony was decM-
eddy racy. Mrs. Sutley, wlo
was half her husband s age and
married him at their first meet
ing, had been married AND di-
vOrced twice before. 1t Was the
theory of the defense through
out the trial that she was an
adventures. The defendants
Zack SutIey, is a well-to-do old
time rancher of LYMAN county.
The marriage took place while
he was a member of the state
Legislature. Mrs. Sutley was
granted no share in the defcll-
dant's property asmie from the
monthly alimony mentioned a.
bove. On the whole the decision
Ks generally regarded as vict-
ory Cor the defendant. 1t will
be re-joiced in by the many
friends of Mr. Sutley, who have
always regarded him as the VIE
tim Of the unfortunate matri-
mOnial affair. The action of Mrs.
Sutley was prosecuted by Mr..
and Mrs. Julius III. johnson, of
Fort Pierre. Philip and Wag-
goner represented the defen-
da0t.

BRAVE BEAR, THE INDIAN

Press and DakOtan of last Fri
day devoted considerable space
to an account of the execution
of the Indian. Brave Bear, hang

Joseph johnson, a discharged
soldier, in Sully county, in
1879.
Other newspapers i'm the state
are also referring to the affair

year or so in the midst Of
legal tragedy that impressed all
the Sioux nation with the mai

Brave Bear murdered the ex-
soldier Johnson, who was ON
his way back to civilization
after being discharged at Fort
Bennett (now Cheyenne agen
cyl, for his horse and his gun,
of several hundred dollars in
money, which was of small value
in the Indian mind in those
times.
Brave Bear told the writer all
about the bloody affair, in the
language Of one who did not
realize that he had committed a
crime.
According to the Indian code
it was privilege. sanctioned by
long usage among his people, to
take the life of AN enemy and it
added to the Importance of the
transaction if horse or a gun

went ahead and waylaid and shot
him and took his property and
fled to the camp Of the hostiles
under Sitting Buh, with whom
ne remained a a couple of years.
Returning to Fort Bennett, he
was apprehended and taken to
