Begin Threshing

Threshing grain on the reserva-
ton begins the last of the week with
three government outfits. One of
the gas-tractors and new separator
was taken to Cannonball today by
Homer Hinton, and will operate
in that district. The other gas oper-
ated outfit will commence at the
Farm school, while steam rig will
operate in the Agency district. With
the three government machines in
addition to the other rigs in oper-
alton the Indian farmers will have
their crops threshed this fall before
stormy weather sets in if nothing
unforeseen happens. The Mentz
Threshing Company's horsepower
machine has been threshing for the
past week south Of Solen, and was
in operation at the John Little Crow
farm last Saturday. While the
wheat yield will be light, there is
much good flax this year most of
which is already ripe and there are
many fields already harvested. Oats
rye and barley is also a very good
crop this year. Corn will yield big if
frost holds off for another week.

Bad Man Escaped
Agency Authorities
Bad Man From East of Missouri Rive,
Charged With Introducing Liquor
Escaped Agency Jail

A. J.. Malm, Peter Postle and
! Chas Vale, who have been employed
at the Stiles Cattle Company hay
camp north of Fort Yates, went tc
Shields Friday last week, where
they became into xicated and were
rounded up later while trying to
create disturbance near Porcu-
pine station on their return to camp.
Malm and Postle were placed under
arrest by VIM. Clayton: farmer in
charge Of Porcupine district, while.
Vale made his getaway. Aquantity
Of whiskey was also taken from
them.
Saturday Malm and Postle were
brought to Fort Yates and charge
Of introducing Intoxicating liquor
on the reservation placed against
them. Tuesday Postle, whose home
is across the river in Emmons
county, was arraigned before U. S.
Commissioner Johnson. and through
his attorney Scott Cameron of Lin
ton, waived examination and was
released Wednesday ona $500 bond.
He will be tried at the next term
Of Federal court at Bismarck.
Tuesday evening Deputy U. S.
Marshall Pat Bowler arrived from
Fargo to serve the warrant issued
at the instance Of Superintendent
Covey on Malm, and it was the in
tention to take him away Wednes-
dayfollowing a preliminary arraign-
ment as he was in no position to
furnish a bond. During the night,
however. Malm made his escape from
the cell in the Agency guard house,
in which he was held, and gained
his liberty by breaking a hole
through the ceiling.
At this writing he has not been
located, ana the prevailing opinion
is. .that.he got across the river sea4e5
way and has either made good his
escape or is being harbored by
friends. Malm bears an unsavory
reputation, and it is said that he
is under criminal charges both in
Emmons county, North Dakota,
and Campbell county, South Da-
kota, and it is not likely that he
will linger long in this section of
the country, if the different author
tiles should be unable to capture
him.

Alexander Mckenzie

Alexander Mckenzie formerly Of
Bismarck, but who now makes hi:
home in st. Paul, and for many
years one of the leading and most
influential political leaders of North
Dakota, spent Monday here with
J. A. Stiles looking after the in.
terests of the Stiles Cattle Company
in which concern he is one of the
stockholders. Mr.. Mckenzie was
very much pleased with conditions
he found. The cattle were look
very fine, and said that he had
never seen better hay or more grass
at this time of the year. 1t is not
the intention of the company tc
ship any young cattle this fall, and
only older stock that will not in
crease in growth or value will be
sent to market this year according
present plans.

|Coture Bros. Held
For Federal Court
Joseph and George Coture Held to U.
S. Court on Horsestealing Charge
May Drop State Charge

Harry Hinckley of Solen, one o
the county constables of Sioux
county, was in the city yesterda,
and stated that at the hearing helc
before U. S. Commissioner Lanter-
man at Mandan Tuesday, at which
he was witness for the prosecution,
Joseph and George Coture, were
held to await the action of the Fed.
cral grand jury on the charge OF
stealing horses from Indians on the
Standing Rock reservation.
The Coture brothers were arrested
some time ago on this charge. the
evidence against them having been
uncovered by A. c. Wells, farmer
of Cannonball district. Joseph
Coture was given a preliminary hear
ing before Justice Clark at Solen and
bound over to the next term of dis
trict court for Sioux county. George
Coture was arrested at Timber Lake,
S. d., and had been in the Mandan
jail awaiting hearing. Now since
the Federal government has taken
over the prosecution the state charge
against the men will be dropped,
says States Attorney johnson. This
action will save Sioux county the
expense of the trial.
The other witnesses against the
Cotures were Peter Schoff and son
of st. Anthony, and Joe Horncloud
of Cannonball, who was implicated
in the thefts and turned witness for
the prosecution. A. c. Wells is en-
titled to much credit for bringing
these men to justice.

Circulate Petitions
County Seat Vote
Petitions for County Seat Removal Be-
ing Circulated. Attended Meet
ines Held Last Week

According reliable reports tn
meetings of the Sioux County Voter
League held last Friday at Swestika
and Saturday at Morristown, drew
but small. attendance, and but lit
tie enthusiasm was displayed by the
voters present. Many farmers liv.
ing close to the Swastika schoo
where the first meeting was held
were more interested in threshinl
and harvesting their crops than
politics, and passed the meeting
up.
At the Swastika meeting 1. w
Scogin presented petitions for
signatures for removal of the county
seat of Sioux county from Fort
Yates to Se]fridge. Names Of one
third of the voters of the county are
required on the petitions which
must be presented to the board OF
county commissioners who will pass
on the validity of the petitions be-
fore same can be placed on the bal
lot. Only a few signatures have
been secured so far, but it is under
stood that the Milwaukee Land Co.,
owners of tie Selfridge townsite,
are about to hire a number of men
| to travel through the country for
the purpose of talking county seat
removal and secure signatures.
It is also understood that H. F..
Smith who is not yet a citizen Of the
state, out who has achieved consid-
cradle notoriety since coming to
Selfridge by getting cut up in a
knitting affray, which has caused
the county already considerable
expense on account of resulting
prosecutions, is now the main Self
ridge booster and will eventually
displace Martin Swift as president
Of the League.
Rumor is also current that certain
defeated candidates at the recent
primary election will go before the
people again this fall on stickers,
and that they are to have the back
ing of the League.
The Pioneer has also learned that
President-to-be Smith claims that it
will only require a majority vote to
move the county seat from Fort
Yates. If he thinks so, all well and
good. The laws governing county
seat removals, however, says it
takes two-tbird vote to remove a
county seat in county created un-
der the act which Sioux county was
organized.
If Smith knows so much law,
better run him for attorney general
or Judge.

Lennon Interstate
Fair September 6-8
Second Annual Interstate Fair at Lem.
mon, South Dakota, Sept. 6, z, g.
Interesting Program Out

The premium list and other adj
vcrtising matter for the second an
nual Interstate Fair at Lennon,
South Dakota, were distributed
about Fort Yates the first of the
week by C. A. Ingalls, and VIM.
! Sager, who are making a trip
through the country tributary to
Lennon boosting the fair which is
to be held September 9Th, 7th and
Sth. While here these gentlemen
placed an advertisement in the
Pioneer, and as Lennon has al
ways proved IL strong drawing card
for the reservation people it goes
without saying that many Sioux
county people will attend the Inter-
state Fair this year.
The prizes offered for exhibits
this year are greatly in excess of
those offered last year and it is very
probable that the number of exhibits
will be doubled.
F.. The attractions for the fair are of
the very best and every day will be
an event in itself that has never
been surpassed in the west.
Besides the wild west exhibitions
such as broncho busting, roping and
fancy and trick riding; auto polo
games, areoplane flights, horse
races, harness races, Inbian exhibi-
tions, clown acts, and other novelty
performances will be offered. On the
first and third days, automobile
races will be staged and these pro-
mise to be big attractions, as several
new racing cars have been built in
this city and each owner of devil
has declared himself in on the
money.

RILEY OWENS HOME
DAMAGED BY FIRE
Roof Burned of and Gable End
Burned Through; Caught from
Cook Stove

Scores Of residents in the south part
Of the second ward were reused from
their beds at six o'clock Sunday morn
ing because of fire in the home of
Riley Owen on Broas street. The whole
top of the residence was burned off
and the west end wall was riddled.
Water completely soaked the interior
of the home and will make it neces-
sary to re-plaster besides replacing a
roof and end wall.
The fire started from the kitchen
stove. Mr.. Owen built the fire in the
