USED BAD PAPER
PIERRE FIRM SWINDLED BY
HAIFBREED INDIAN.

Pierre. Oct. 24.-Friday evening
Of the week of federal court in this
city. after closing hours a %halfbreed
and his wife went into the store Of
A. T. Moore a. company. and finding
a young man alone doing %janitor
work. proceeded TO do some trading.
They were quite free with their buy
ing When the time came to pay the
bill the man rendered a $50 check
drawn by Adam Smith. of Murdo, on
the Murdo State bank to Harry Ma
ran. The young man vas rather
overcome by his evident large sale Of
merchandise and not being expert
eneed. took the check without asking
any particulars and gave back about
$40 in change without making any
effort to consult the proprietors or
any experienced person nor asking
the party to indorse the check, which
had already IN Endorsement, the
name. Harry Maran, in very fine pen
manship.
The next morning on reaching the
store the proprietor found the check
and after hearing the sale immedi-
ately took up the matter of identifi-
cation of the party, phoning to Muir
do. 1t was learned that there was
an Adam Smith near there and a
check on his account would be all
right if the other particulars were all
right.
Mr.. Moore and the young man who
eashed the check Immediately took
up the trail and attempted to find
some trace of the halfbreeds. but
were only able to find that they had
visited a music store the afternoon of
the day before and talked with Mr..
Hegglund, the proprietor, regarding
the purchase of a violin, promising
to call the next day. but they did not
do this.
Evidently the parties left on the
midnight train west, as there was an.
other check cashed in Midland and
the bank wrote that three checks had
turned up at the time of their letter,
October 16.
The halfbreed was a mar at least
6 feet in height. well built and we'll
educated APPARENTLY, and his wife also
was, it is supposed, a halfbreed and
about 5 feet 5 inches in height.
The man bought a heavy cardinal
sweater and the woman a dark plaid
shawl and some purple goods for a
dress.
The county attorney of Hughes
county, Thomas McNamee, has the
case in charge and is now looking for
evidence in the matter. 1t is sup
posed that these Indians came from
quite a distance south and west, as
they do not seem TO be known to the
Indian school people of this place.

BIG RETURNS FROM LANDS
Tracts i'm Two Counties Pay for
Themselves in season.

Pierre. Oct. 24-Up in Sully eoun-
~ last spring a half section Of land
was purchased for $50 an acre, or
$1,000. Two hundred acres of the
tract was put in flax, and the return
this fall from that crop has been ST.
500, or $500 more than the cost Of
the whole tract.
In Potter county. III. A. Lyman put
in nine acres of alfalfa, from which
he cut a ton TO the acre. which he
sold at $40 per ton, and then secured
seed from the second cutting which
he sold at the rate of $50 an acre on
a contract for delivery. and could
have sold at a better price on the
open market. This "a a return
of over 500 an acres from handling
alfalfa on land which would be held
at less than that per acre in the Vi
cinity where this crop was raised.
