JOE PETTY RESIDENCE BADLY
DAMAGED BY FIRE
WAS PARTIALLY INSURED
CONTENTS OF HOUSE SAVED But
BUILDING GETS BADLY SCORCHED
BEFORE FLAMES ARE SUBDUED

The residence of Joe Petty in lower
town had narrow escape from COM
piete destruction By fire Monday fore
noon when an old mattress lying on the
northeast side of the building caught
on fire and started the flames to climb
ing along the sidewall until the roof
was reached. The roof was mass of
flames before the fire wss.discouvered.
The volunteer department made q
record run and soon had stream Of
water playing on the blaze. Others
assisted in removing all the furniture
from the building and as soon as hole
could be cut in the roof the blaze was
soon under control.
However the building was badly dam.
aged both from fire and water and be-
fore it will he habitable will have to be
replsstered and new roof and part
Of the side wall replaced At the time
the fire was discovered, Mr.. Petty was
asleep In the building.
The building and contents we're both
insured, nevertheless the loss to Mr..
Petty will be quite heavy. Until the
building can be repaired the family will
occupy one Of the residences owned by
Mrs. Shook.

TO BRIDGE THE MISSOURI
Special Committee Formulating Preliminary
Details.-Means Much to CITY.

Details.-Means Much to City.
Yankton, 8. D., March 2G.-There is
a well defined feeling among the bus
mess interests of Yankton that the
present agitation for bridge across
the Missouri river will bring action aud
results. Residents. of Knox and Cedar
counties, in Nebraska, are urging the
project and giving assurance Of hnan-
clal assistance.
Charles Smith, the secretary of the
bridge committee, has issued the fol-
lowing statement:
sowing to the great amount of work
that will first have to be done, profit
ing from the past experience in such
matters, it has been decided that be.
fore suoh public meeting is held. all
matters pertaining to every phase of
the proposition be looked into ana the
committee be thoroughly posted, 80
that no mistakes be made and no de-
lays incurred. For that reason the
public will kindly be patient until this
information is collected
cit is the desire of the committee
that this bridge be builded along the
broadest lines possible; that it shall be
the pride of every man. woman and
child in Isnkton county-a bridge
built, owned and operated by citizens
of this county, so that any benefits de-
rived from it shall be ours and our i'm
mediate neighbors.
T "a great deal of time and energy will
be put into getting facts and data Gov
ering every single angle of the PROPOSE
tion, SO that when it is put up to the
people everything will be plain and
clear cut, so that every body knows just
what is to be done and how we are 20
ing to do it.
1T will be so arranged that not
dollar goes into anything but the
bridge. There will be no promoters
rake off, because we are going to do
the job ourselves. When we say 'we,'
it means every man and woman in
Yankton county, assisted by our good
nefghbors in Cedar and Knox coun-
ties"

new HOMESTEAD LAWS
Two Laws of Special Importance Affecting
South Dakota People.

Two laws of special Importance to
South Dakota passed during the last
days Of the 63rd congress are Public
No. 299, house resolution 1893, and
Public No. 279, house resolution 129l9.
Both are amendments of the original
enlarged homestead, or 800 acre act of
February 10, 1909, 35th statutes, G39,
which applied to the states of Oolo.
RADIO, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming, and to the
then territories of Arizona and New
Mexico. Subsequent acts have added
Idaho, California, North Dakota and
Kansas to the list of states to which
the enlarged homestead act is applioa-
BILE.
The lands which may be entered un-
der the original and amended acts are
non mineral, non.irrigable, unreserved
aud unappropriated. and without me1-
chantable timber thereon. The act
permits of an original entry of 800
acres of land of the character de-
scribed.
Public No. 900 extends the provis.
ions Of the original and amendatory
acts to South Dakota, the original bill
having been amended in this respect
at the instance of Senator Sterling.
The act permits homesteader on
lands Of such character, who has not
made final proof on the 100 acre tract
first entered, to make application for
an additional 100 acres contiguous to
his unprotected entry. 1t is not re.
qnired that the lands subject to entry
under this act shall have been pre-
iously designated by the secretary of
the interior before application for en-
try can be made but the application
must be supported by oorroboratsd af-
fidavit of the applicant in duplicate,
showing that the land applied for is of
the character contemplated by the en-
lsrged homestead act. The applica-
ton will he received by the register
and receiver Of the land district in
which the land is located and action
thereon suspended until it shall have
been determined by the secretary of
the interior whether the land, entry of
which is applied for, is of the character
contemplated by the act. During such
suspension the land described in said
application will be segregated and not
subject to entry until the case is dis
posed of. If it is found that tho land
is of the character contemplated by
the act, then the application shall be
allowed; otherwise it shall be rejected,
subject to appeal.
The original homestead act, and acts
amendatory thereof, permitted an ad-
ditional entry only in cases where final
proof had not been made upon the
original entry, but Public No. 279
changes the law in this respect and
permits any person who has submitted
proof and who still owns and occupies
the land entered to make ap additional
