LIGHTNING JUSTICE
Melted OUT TO HELM
Slayer of Joseph Calligan Sen
fenced to Prison for Life
II Days After Crime.

Tyndall, S. d., Aug. 3.-At a special
term of the circuit court held here Fri
day Judge Trip sentenced Ed Telm
to lard labor in the pe%nitentiary at
Sioux Falls for the rest of his life.
Helm plead guilty to the charge of
numbering Joseph Calligan, of Sioux
City. on the morning of July 10. In
pleading guilty he threw himself at the
courts mercy giving as his only excuse
that he shot through fear of being
thrown off OF the moving train by
Calligan.
The sentencing of Helm probably
makes a record case in this state for
rapid work Of the courts in closing a
murder case. On the morning of July
10 a negro hobo hot and killed Joseph
Calligan. a Milwaukee freight brake
man neal Scotland, S. d. The negro
escaped but vas apprehended by q
deputy sheriff of Bon Homme county
and Paul Marcus Of Sioux City two
days later trying to get across the Mis-
souri, river at Springfield, S. D. He
was brought to Tyndall where he was
identified by other hoboes as the man
who fired the shot. Two days later he
confessed to committing the crime, at
the same time saying f1e had not pre-
viously admitted it because of fear OF
being lynched. Just IL days after the
crime was committed Helm received his
sentence for life.

WILL APPEAL
INDIAN LAND CASES

Sioux Falls. S. D., Aug 1.-Gov-
eminent agents contend that Clown
Woman, Big Old Woman, and Yellow
Hair, three Indians who sold land to
E. j. DeBell, a trader on the Rosebud
reservation, failed to receive value for
their farms. This is one of several
contentious Of the government in the
famous DeBell land cases, which will
be taken to the circuit court of APP
peals. according to an announcement
made by Assistant District Attorney
q. w. Fiske, who is handling the
cases for the government. The cases
were decided in favor of DeBell in the
lower court. The government also
contends that DeBell and the Indian
agent had conspired to have the trust
patents issued and that the land was
hen sold to DeBell at less than it's
actual value.
In the district court the defense
made a convincing showing that all Of
these transactions were entirely reg
ular, n the land titles in these
cases have since passed through sev-
eral hands, all of whom are manifestly
bona fide purchasers. DR.. DeBell,
whose transactions are attacked, re-
sides at West Point, Neb. He former
ly dealt quite extensively in Indian
lands.

TRADE VEERS FROM WHEAT
TO CORN, WHICH GOES UP

Chicago. Aug. 3.-Business on the
wheat market today veered ava from
wheat and into corn. 1t was decided
that for The time being the wiser
course was to turn attention as far
as practicable to a commodity depend
ing chiefly on domestic conditions and
politics.
The wheat market was only fairly
active today. After having kept with
in 2 cents in either direction from last
nights level. the market closed firm
IA to ] lac net advance.
Corn ruled strong and active, with an
upward tendency all ! day. Drought
damage and the threatened strike on
the railroads west of Chicago was the
cause. The net advance in corn for
the day was l 1-2 to 3 1-2c a bushel.

ARMOUR'S MILLIONS
SAVED WHEAT MARKET

Chicago, Aug. 3.-Armour's millions
rescued the wheat trade from panic.
Instead OF chaoes resulting from a
settlement yesterday in h midst
of a war market. with possibly scores
of firms embarrassed and a virtual
certainty that bankruptcies, few or
many. would ensue, the Chicago board
of trade was enabled to maintain the
record of never having closed, no mat
ter how great the emergency n to-
la not a failure, big or little, had
ken place.
The chief reason was that IS en-
tangled firms and individuals on the
exchange were freely given by Armour
& Co. whatever aid the necessities of
the situation required.
President Geo. e. Marcy. of the Ar
mour Grain company, was the mai who
arose to the occasion. He quietly
circulated word on the loo of the board
partly in person and partly through
his ~lieutenants, that any member in
trouble yesterday need only come to
him. Before nightfall Armour & Co.
had taken owe S.0OO,0 900 bushels Of
open trades which, if not transferred.
We're critically in danger of not being
safely settled in due contract time, the
expiration of business hours at the
end of HI month.
In addition to the relief extended di-
rectly. President Marcy ordered the
sale of 1000, 900 bushels of wheat in
the open market, and was thus largely
instrumental in preventing Chicago
prices from paralleling the wild up
ward sweep that in Liverpool yester-
day came ahead Of a steep substantial
fall.
The Armour sales Of wheat were
supplemented by simultaneous dis
posal of 10000 bushels of corn and
an equal quantity of oats. These
sales We're afterward covered by num-
erous gradual purchases whenever pit
conditions would allow without dis
turbing the course of prices.
