MADISON MAN
SKIPS COUNTRY
GARAGE EMPLOYEE GETS ABOUT
5000 BY PASSING WORTHLESS
CHECKS AND BORROW.
ING MONEY.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Lake county
officers have traced to Sioux Falls
Ed Coleman, who is wanted in Lake
county for passing worthless checks
Upon arriving in Sioux Falls he seems
to have disappeared and thus far no
further trace of him has been found.
He may be hiding in the city, and
there also is a possibility that he
watched his opportunity and took a
Fain out of the city for some distant
point.
Coleman was a garage repair man
of Madison when he committed
the alleged crime and fled In addi-
ton to passing the worthless checks
it is said he borrowed SIS from a
friend and for security gave him a
note and mortgage covering his auto
repair tools. AT a store he made pur-
chases of clothing and rendered a
check for s64 in payment, receiving
the difference between the amount
of the check and the value of the
in cash. This check with 9TH
prs which he is charged with having
passed, proved worthless.
1t is thought that when he left
Madison he had about $500 in cash.
His sweetheart is a Sioux Falls girl,
while his parents are residents of

wild old rs days turned up in an at
tempt at murder. The affair took
place in Sim is pool hall in the
lower end of town. Zero weather

group of colored folks gathered
about the soft coal stove, with jim
Bcland, one of Deadwood's familiar
fixtures, spilling out trumps, when,
without warning, a bullet, crashed
through rear window and logged
in Boland's neck. He toppled to the
floor while the unhurt ones made an
ungraceful exit through the front
door. Those too scared to move re-
manned to pray and the assailant
was left to get away with the goods
and make himself secure somewhere
in one of east Deadwood's shadowy
nests. The police and a physician
soon arrived on the scene.
The margin left between the bull
let wound and Boland's jugular vein
was too mintue to argue over and his
escape from hasty entrance into an
uncertain beyond was pronounced
miraculous. 1t is rumored that the
would be assassin may be woman.

tragedy is being sought out in lower

INDIANS GIVEN
THEIR OWN LAND
FIFTY sIssEroN INDIANS GIVEN
PATIENTS SECOND CLASS
IN TRAINING NOW FOR
CITIZENSHIP.

Elaborate ceremonies attended the
delivery to fifty Sisseton Sioux In
dians Of deeds to their lands by the
government The government was rep
resented by Major James McLaugh-
lin, the veteran Indian inspector. The
delivery of the deeds gave the fifty
Indians the full citizenship rights.
The shooting of the last arrow cere-
Flmony was used in delivering the
deeds to the Indians.
The Sisseton Indians have been di-
vided into three classes for CITIZEN
ship purposes by Agent Mossman, in
charge Of the agency. The fifty Indi
ans just made citizens stood first in
these classes, they being pronounced
the most competent to handle their
lands and business affairs without the
assistance of the Indian agent or the
government. The members of class
No. 2, who did not develop the neces-
.sary qualifications, have been given
another trial and will try to make
good so they can Perceive their deeds
and their full rights as citizens next
year.
1t is estimated that about 200 In
dians have place in this class and
may have the qualifications necessary
to entitle them to be made citizens
next year.
The members Of class No. 8 are re-
garded as being permanently incom-
petent, and it is doubtful if they will
ever advance enough to .entit;e them
to citizenship rights. The issuance of
the deeds to the fifty Indians will
mean that fifty additional tracts of
land heretofore not listed as taxable
now will be added to the taxable
property of Roberts county. The adj
dition of other tracts of Indian land
as the Indians become citizens event
ually will reduce the tax rate in Rob-
erts county.

PROHIBITION LAW
is AN EMERGENCY
LEGISLATURE CAN ENACT STA.
TUTE DECLARING ENFORCE
MENT OF AMENDMENT
AND PREVENT REF
ERENDUM.

Pierre, S. D.-There is much agl-
tatton in the state press pertaining
to the rumor that the liquor interests
will referend the prohibition penalty
act of the Forthcoming session, ard
thus delay its operation until after
the next general election. This ap-
prehension does not seem to be we'll
founded.
Under the constitutional provision
certain acts are not subject to refer
endum These are such laws as may
be necessary for the immediate pre-
seervation of the public peace, health
or safety, support of the state govern
ment and its existing institutions"
If prohibition law was permitted to
be referended so that it would not
become operative on July 1, 1917,
when the prohibition amendment goes
into effect, no restraint whatever
would be placed upon the liquor traf-
fic and state of anarchy would ensue
Consequently such prohibition act
would be a law for the immediate
preservation of the public peace and
safety and would not be referendable
whether it contained an emergency
clause or not.
This principle was expressly enun-
ciated by the supreme court in the
celebrated Richards primary case
d36 S. D.. 260) in which the langu-
age was used: AS to such (constitu-
tional- emergency measures there can
be no exercise of the referendum
power under any circumstances with
or without an emergency clause"

WESLEYAN TAKES
BRACE FOR HURON
METHODlsTS STRENGTHENED BY
ADDITION OF BINTLlFF AND
SHIFT IN --LATEST LINEUP.

With greatly revised lineup, in
Guiding couple of new faces, Dakota
Wesleyan will meet Huron college on
the Presbyterian home field Satur-
day afternoon and will make a
mighty effort to nose out victory
against an eleven which is theoreti-
cally stronger.
One of the big additions was the
return of Charles Bintliff, who is
just back from the Mexican border.
Bintliff has had only brief time to
practice but is in good physical
ton at left tackle.
The personnel of the backfield
will be much different than in any
other game this year. Captain Will
der has been shifted to right end and
his place at quarter will be filled by
Bunt, who has been showing we'll re-
Gently. Kaye will be retained at
fullback, and Whitlow will re-enter
the game again at right half. Hark-
ness has been moved from tackle to
left half.
Wilder and Hathaway will take
care of the wings Shurtieff and
Shepherd will appear opposite Bint-
lift at right tackle. Phinney will
start at right guard, Card at center,
and Williams at left guard. Three
substitutes will be taken, but they
have, not been selected yet.
Huron has a slight edge by COM
parative scores. The Presbyterian
eleven tied Sioux Falls. which team
in turn defeated Wesleyan. Coach
JaJmes Loman still hopes for vic
tory, however, as his eleven is
strengthened now and really had no
excuse for dropping the Sioux Falls
game.

should prove interesting. Sioux Falls
