Wednesday night while on his way
home. He was largely identified with
the early history of northern Nebras-
ka and a forceful factor in the de-
velopment and upbuilding of Boyd

a fortune in the banking business al

sible moment. If hog cholera can be
diagnosed, the whole herd is vac
cinated at once, neighboring farmers
are notified and instructed as to what
methods should be adopted to pre-
vent the spread of infection, and a
large sign is placed at the farm road
side entrance-"Hog Cholera. Keep
Out"
About thirty days later, or as soon
as the hogs are free from cholera, the
assistant state veterinarian goes to
the farm and s~upervises the cleaning
up and disinfecting of the premises.
1t is the intention to hold a series
of schoolhouse meetings in the vari-
Gus townships. The first of these was
held in the Belts schoolhouse in Beu-
lah township. Fully two-thirds of
the farmers in the township attend
ed. The prevailing sentiment at this
meeting was that an organized effort
should be undertaken at once to in
| duce every farmer to disinfect his
premises. A committee decided to
take immediate steps to carry out
this work.

White settlers Want An Even Show
with Indian Neighbors.

White River, Dee. S.@Two legal
questions have arisen in the newly
settled county of Mellette. which was
until 1912 a part of the Rosebud
reservation. These questions are:
ca When a county is organized from
a part of a reservation does 1T cease
to be a part of the reservation
(2) Does the South Dakota or federal
statute apply to trespass of stock up
on an allotment or upon open land!
In the Rosebud reservation it has
been an old custom of the govern
ment. through the officials, to re-
auire the white owners of stock TO
pay 81 per head as a grazing prlvi-
lege. The settlers have organized
now, and employed attorneys to re
sist the payment of that fee, when
they claim the government still at
tempts to collect in Mellette county
under the guise of trespass upon al
|lotments. The settlers further claim
that the government has no right TO
fix an arbitrary price for trespass'
and that the Indian il damaged has
his full under the state
statutes.
The settlers further claim that the
government resists the payment oil
any damage done by Indian cattle
trespassing on settlers crops. The
settlers think that the same state Law
applies to Indians and white settlers

UNDER CONTROL
Foot and Mouth Disease Nearly
Stamped Out.

Washington. Dec. S.-Officials OF
the department of agriculture believe
the foot and mouth disease among
cattle will be completely under con-
troll by the first of the year. f. p.
Johnson of Denver. manager of the
Western National Stock show, SEIZED
uled TO be held next January. dis
cussed the situation with Secretary
Houston and DR.. Melvin, chief of the
bureau of animal industry. Both of
~icials, Johnson said. urged that the
show be postponed three or -four
weeks to make safety.
Mr.. Johnson said he had informa'
ton that the present outbreak al
ready had cost the government near
ly s1.200.000, largely in payment
for the slaughter of infected cattle
and to maintain a force of 700 in
spectors in the field. The govern.
ment pays half of the appraised value
of such cattle, the rest being cared
for by the respective states. Al
emergency appropriation to meet the
expenses of this outbreak was under
consideration by Secretary Houston
Mr.. Johnson said, and also the pos
sibility of the creation of a contin
gent fund for use in future cpl
denies.
Secretary Houston declared there
was no reason for panic in thu
slaughter of breeding animals, John
son said, and urged patience among
cattle men as a few weeks would SCI

Horse Rustlers i'm Wyoming Captured
by Sherif's Posse.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. S.-One out
law is dead and seven are prisoners
under armed guards as the result of
a real old time plains battle between
a sheriff s posse and a band of des-
perate horse thieves, who for several
| weeks have caused a reign of terror
in the southwestern corner of the
state. The details of the fight,
which occurred near Mountain View,
were received here today.
According to the report, Dan NAL
ley, a ~cowpuncher with a reputation
for skill in the saddle and with the
gun. organized a gang of eight men
and started out on a horse stealing
campaign. The gang remained under
cover in the daytime, it is said. and
made their raids at night.
At Fort Bridger last Wednesday
they stampeded a herd and got away
| with twenty-five horses. They rode
into the town with drawn guns. and
a volley of shots sent into the air
marked their retreat with the stolen
horses.
The next day, while driving the
horses across the country. the out
laws came up with Percy Griggs. a
young rancher, who was driving
three fine horses to a buggy. The
leader of the gang, Malley, covered
| Griggs with his gun and forced him
TO unhitch his horses and run them
into the stolen herd. Fearing Griggs
would sound an alarm before they
could get out of the country. the
| gang kidnapped him and took him
along a prisoner.
The following day the band rode
into Burnt Fork, Wyo., with their
stolen prizes and refined up in front
of Gregory's general store. Sum
moning B. J. Gregory. the proprietor
TO the front porch they demanded
food and lodging. Gregory refused
them and Malley then threatened tc
blow up the store, %whereupon Greg
DRY surrendered.
That night Gregory sent a messen
ger to Sheriff Lohan at Evanston
telling him what the gang had done
lLohan Immediately organized a posse
of ten men, which. mounted OF
horses set out across country after
the outlaws.
Arriving at Gregory's store tn,
next morning, the sheriff found tina
Malley and his gang had made al
early start. and he went in pursuit
Near Mountain View. not far from
Burnt Fork, the sheriff found thu
gang in camp. with their string o
about 100 horses.
The sheriff opened fire on tn
camp and the outlaws returned tn
ire. The battle lasted for about fiji
teen minutes, with both sides firms
from behind thrown horses. and thei
the outlaws made a break.
The posse mounted and began pur
suit. A running fight followed, AM
finally the outlaws, after riding
about fifteen miles, dropped nea
Hoppe Lake and reopened the battle
Sheriff Lohan, noted as a marks
man. paid strict attention to Malley
the leader, and finally shot hin
through the heart. When they say
their chief fall dead, the other sever
members of the band surrendered
They were bound to their horses an
; taken to Evanston, where they ar
now in Jail.

VACCINATION SUCCEEDS
Hog Cholera Losses Greatly Reduced
BY Efforts of Commission.

Mitchell, Dec. S.-They're putting
hog cholera out of business in Da-
vison county. The bureau of ami
NAL industry. United States depart
ment of agriculture, the State college
at Bookings. and the state livestock
sanitary board have conferred forces
against hog cholera in this county
and ii is believed the enemy is in full
retreat.
From Oct. 6, when the actual work
of vaccination began. until Nov. 80,
the veterinary force under super
vision of DIR. S. M. Smith. federal in
spector in charge, treated seventy
three infected herds consisting of
4.419 hogs. Reports have been re-
ceived from the first forty-three of
these herds, showing 1850 hogs
treated.
More than 81 per cent of these
showed high temperature, indicating
that they were already infected with
cholera at the time OF vaccination,
The death loss was only 367, less
than 10 per cent. The average death
loss I'm the United States in infected
herds not v~accinated Is estimated to
be from SIS to 95 per cent. This is a
saving of nearly $4,000 worth OF
hogs, to say nothing Of the thousands
of dollars saved in veterinary fees
and cost of serum. But that is not
all. Untold wealth was saved to Da-
vison county farmers by sanitary con-
troll and educational work to prevent
the disease from spreading to other
herds.

cent years from an insignificant place
to be one of the most populous cities
