Face Federal Court
Geo. Coture Under Arrest on Horse
Rustling Charge May Have to Plead
Before Federal Court

Additional evidence which has
; been gathered in the case of George
Coture, arrested recently at Timber
Lake, $ d., by Sheriff Mcdonald
OF Morton county, on the charge of
stealing horses from Indians in
Cannonball district, will result in
his prosecution in Federal court.
A. G. Wells, farmer in charge of
Cannonball district, has uncovered
evidence which duplicates also Joe
Coture and a couple Of Indians Of
Cannonball, whom it is stated are
willing to testify against the two
Cotures.
The facts which has come to light
are that the Coture brothers who
live north of Cannonball, some
where in the St. Anthony neighbor-
hood, have been selling a number
of horses with Indian brands
among their German Russian neigh
bors. A. C. Wells recovered the
horses and the buyers took the
matter up with the Morton county
authorities who caused a warrant to
be issued for the arrest of George
Coture. When the sheriff went to
serve the warrant Coture had made
his getaway. but was later located
at Timber Lake, where he was placed
under arrest.
1t now developes that his brother
Joe was also implicated as we'll as
two Indians. The story goes that
the Indians run the horses across
the Cannonball river where the Co.
lures gathered them in and took
them further north. The Indians
have made a full confession and it
looks bad for George and Joe if the
matter reaches U. S. court.
Since the above was put in type
last night-Sheriff Mcdonald of
and A. G. Wells Of Can
came down from Solen,
where yae Coture was arraigned be-
fore Justice VIM. Clark yesterday.
IIe waiyed examination and furn-
ished assoc bond to appear at the
fall 'teffflf district court in Sioux
county. George Coturc is in Jail at
Mandan, and will be given hear
ing later.

Standing Rock Fair
Dates Sept. 21-23
Fifth Annual Standing Rock Indian Fair
Will be Held at Fort Yates on
September 21, 22, %

1 The fifth annual agricultural,
livestock and industrial fair OF the
Standing Rock Fair Association for
North and South Dakota, will be
held at Fort Yates, Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday, September 81,
% and 23a. These dates have
been fixed by the Indian Bureau,
which sets the dates for holding all
the fairs on the different rcserva-
tions.
Last year the fair was held earlier
in September, and the later dates
this year will no doubt be more
satisfactory. for if the season should
lie late number Of agricultural
products will not be sufficiently
matured to exhibit during the first
part of September.
The officers of the Fair Association
are planning to make the 1916 fair
the best yet. Work ON the pro-
gram and premium list is under
way and as soon as approved by
the superintendent the copy will be
turned over to the printer and the
list will be ready for distribution
before the opening Of the fair.
The Standing Rock Fair Associa-
ton have fine grounds at Fort
Yates which includes half mile
race track in good condition, COM
modious grandstand, exhibit build
ings and barns, which represents
an investment Of several thousand
dollars. The Association is in good
shape financially, and liberal prizes,
purses and premiums will be offered.
Secretary White states. that this
year no cheap shows will be allowed
on the grounds for the entertain
ment of the public. 1t is his idea
to engage good free open air act,
while racing and other sports will
fill in the remainder of the pro-
gram. The annual fair is the one
big event of the year among the In

GNANCE IMPORTANT

roads to the several states which the
senate committee on postCffices and
post roads has embraced in its pro

A. a. A. National Good Roads Board
has insistently presented ever since
the coming of the vehicle which caus-
ed road travel TO extend beyond town
and county and even state lines.
Thus comments the senate com
mittee in the memorandum which ac-

unanimously:
while the primary purpose Of the
government in entering upon the pol

struction of systems of highways that
are urgently needed, it should not

SULPHUR PRODUCTION OF
ITALY CAUSES CONCERN

Rome, April 15.-(Correspondence
Of the Associated Press A crisis
in the sulphur production of the
mines of Italy has become a subject
of grave concren to the government.
This trouble is partly due to the in
crease in recent years of the Ameri-
can mine production, partly to a re-
duction in the output through techni.
cal mining difficulties, and partly to
the lack of manual labor. The whole
Of Italy's product averages > 81
million long tons. with the mines Of
Sicily considered the richest. With
the price of sulphur increasing from
S11 ton in 1895 to nearly $50 in
1914, the output in the latter year
fell below that Of 1895, being but
33I2}2 long tons, the lowest output
in a period of 21 years. In the same
year the United States output almost
equalled that of Sicily. being S27,63t
tons, valued at Sj.954.236.

require on the part of the states that
they adequately maintain every mile
Of road constructed with the aid OF
federal money If legislation is framed
so as to bring about such continuous
and efficient maintenance, great
benefit to the people will have been
assured, as it is now generally recog-
nized that because OF lax administra-
: ton and mistaken economy millions OF
dollars worth of well-constructed
roads are disintegrating under the de
structiye action of heavy traffic The
federal government should not eX
pend its revenues for maintenance, as
by so doing it would not add to the
stock of good roads. but it can make
conditions which will bring about the
desired results and leave the federal
revenues free for the great task of CO.
operating in the building of improved
roads"
In answer to the charge that federal
help would cause the states to lessen.
effort and rely upon the central source
entirely, the committee says
while the contribution on the part
of the federal government should be
substantial, so that results of some
magnitude might be accomplished
such contribution should impose upon
the states the duty of contributing in
at least as large a measure, so that
there may be no insidiOus paternalism
established, which would stifle local
initiative and self-help. If the federal
government were to enter upon the
building outright of a system of ma
tional highways, the temptation would
be great on the part of states and
their subdivisions to cease or curtail
their own work of improvement in the
hope that the federal government
would ultimately come and make the
improvements for them. Furthermore,
the imposing upon the states of the
duty of making substantial contribu-
ton will serve to automatically modify
the demands upon the federal treasury
as excessive demands upon the federal
treasury under these conditions would
at the same time entail equally eX-
cessive demands upon the states"
The American Association of state
highway officials and the American
Automobile Association, in co-opera-
tion with other Organizations, are us
ing their best endeavors to convince |
the senators from the several states !
that the good roads bill demands con- |
sideration equal to that given to mill I
tagy preparedness.
