MILITARY RULE OF INDIANS
NO LONGER APPLICABLE

Sioux Falls, s. D.. July 3.-Official
Advices that the United states circuit
Of appeals has just disposed OF a case
Of statewide interest by reversing the
decision Of the lower court In the case
have just been received by e. K. Wag-
ner, Of this city, former United States
attorney for South Dakota The case
Is that OF the United States vs.. Albert
Fisher. a South Dakotan. charged with
having removed cattle from an Indian
reservation without authority Of the
secretary OF war. The decision just
rendered holds that such authority was
not necessary. ~
Acting under an old statute there
have been q number OF prosecutions In
South Dakota and II vas one Of these
the case against Fisher-that has
finally settled h matter and estab-
Indian reservations. As attorney for
Fisher Mr.. Wagner carried the case
through, and now has received word for
a decision favorable to his client.
The defendant was indicted in May,
1914, by q federal grand jury at Dead
wood, charged with the offence OF re-
moving cattle from the Pine Ridge In
dian reservation In violation Of a
statute enacted In 1865, which made II
an offense, punishable by a fine or i'm
prisonment, for any person to remove
stock from the Indian country without
first securing an order from the secre-
tary Of war. A demurrer was inter-
posed to the Indictment by Fisher on
the ground that the statute no longer
was applicable, since the military
branch OF the government had ceased
to control the Indians.

FRENCH ADMIT LOSS OF
TRENCHES RECENTLY TAKEN

Paris, July 6.-The French war office
statement today says:
In the region to the north OF Arras
two attempts at attack on the part OF
the enemy, preceded each by a violent
bombardment, were checked by us al
about 10 o'clock last night. One was
directed particularly against our posi-
lions in front OF Souchez. The Germans
came out several different times from
their trenches, armed with grenades
and bombs. We, however. compelled
them to withdraw. leaving man dead
on the ground. The other took place
at "the Labyrinth but 1t was at once
stopped by our fire. Yesterday after
noon and in the evening the Germans
assumed the offensive along a front Of
about three miles, stretching from
Fey-En-Haye to the Moselle. To the
east of Fey-En-Haye and in the west
ern section OF the forest OF Let Pretre,
along a front OF about two-thirds of a
mile, they were successful, after a
heavy bombardment. in again taking a
footing In their old lines recently taken
by us. But they found 1t impossible
to move, beyond these lines.
Further to the east, on a line run
ming from La Croix- Des-Carmee to the
village of Rieht, on the Moselle, the
Germans failed in IN attack and they
suffered very heavy losses.
There Is nothing of importance to re-
port from the rest of the front.

ALL FARM SCALES NOW ARE
ELIGABLE TO INSPECTION

Pierre, s. D., July 3.-After today,
arm scales in South Dakota are placed
virtually in the same class as railway
md other commercial scales, so far as
inspection Is concerned. All classes OF
scales on which coal, wood. hay and
grain are weighed are subject to in
Ipection by the board OF railroad COM
nissioners, or by an inspector APP
pointed by them, with power to place a
sealing device upon any such scale. The
n difference between inspection OF
arm scales and other commercial
scales Is that the members Of the rail-

that she is alive and well today to a
number OF hoboes, who rescued her

county. She had failed to notify her
relatives of her impending arrival. and
when she reached here there was no

train and the consequent fatigue had
evidently unbalanced the woman, for
she left her belongings In the Great
Northern station, and walked into the
country, where she leaped into a pond,
evidently with suicidal intent. The no.
boes saw her and effected a prompt
rescue. The woman was unconscious

very cold for this period Of the year,
and the trannps hastily covered her

rivers and claims to have checked the
Austro-G Germans at different points,
but comedies a retirement in east Cali

Vienna declares that what seems to
