indian Arrested
RICH INDIAN CHARGED WITH
CRIMINAL ASSAULT.

Hot Springs, Oct. As the result
of an official trip made to Pine Ridge
agency by Deputy United States Mar
shall Brooks, a Sioux Indian named
William Black Bear was taken into
custody by the federal authorities on
the serious charge of attacking a lit
tie Indian girl living on the reserva-
ton. Black Bear is one of the
wealthy Indians of the Pine Ridge
reservation, and has a brother who
is counted M of the richest Indians
in the United States. 1t is expected
they will have no difficulty furnish
ing the bond of $4,000 required for
the appearance of the defendant in
the United States court. Black Bear
was one of the chief witnesses for
the defense during the zee trial in
the federal court of South Dakota of
several Sioux Indians who were
charged with using the mescal bean
in defiance of orders to the contrary
by the officials of the Indian bureau.
Black Bear testified that tea brewed
from the mescal bean had cured his
daughter of tuberculosis.

SOUTH DAKOTA TROOPS.
IN PURSUIT OF MEXICAN BAN
DTS WHO ATTACKED WORK
MEN AT RANCH.

San Benito, Tex, Oct. NO word
has been received today of the South
Dakota and Oklahoma troops which
last night started pursuit of a gang
of Mexican bandits who crossed the
river and attacked workmen at
Scott's ranch.
1t is presumed that the guards
men are on the trail of the bandits.
Other Oklahoma troops are joining in
the chase today.
The Mexicans were heavily armed
and evidently looking for trouble,
but no casualties were reported.
Maj. Myron Shade, of the Fourth
South Dakota, commanded a day
dash through the bandit land and
every mounted orderly of the Fourth
South Dakota has been sent for by
Col. Wales, who with Capt. Hedrick,
are taking up the fight from an
other angle.
Last night Maximino Denavides, a
former United States army scout, was
shot while crossing the road near
La Paloma ranch and was seriously
wounded. His watch saved him from
instant death. He says that his as
sailant was a Mexican.
The South Dakota troops will keep
up the chase tonight. The bandits
have many sympathizers in the Scott
neighborhood.
Another detachment of Billiard 5
brigade has been ordered to the Scott
ranch and they carry "a weeks ra-
lions. The country there is most no
torious for border bandits and fear
of trouble there seems well founded.
Col. Billiard led a fight upon ban
dts there a year ago. Railroads
have asked for guards for trains on
the gulf line and the First Oklahoma
troops viii accompany trains. Every
bridge is guarded and vigilance is
being shown everywhere.

RECEPTION FOR YOUNG FOLKS
is GIVEN AT FIRST BAP-

The reception at the First Baptist

students was a very splendid success.
The reception was given by the
Young Peoples society, aided by GER
tain others of the congregation.
There were about 160 students,
besides many others of the Baptist
congregation. A short program was
given in the main room of the church
consisting of music and speaking.
Words of welcome were spoken by
the president of the b. Y. p. T.,
Miss Martha Petheram. To these
words Miss Ruth Holland, of Water
town, responded in a very fitting

The party then went 70 the parlors
and spent a most delightful time in

sions of appreciation were spoken as
the students left for their homes.

FIRST week AT NORMAL
STUDENTS 'SHOULD WORRY
ABOUT THE HIGH COST OF
LINING-ROOMS OVER
CROWDED.

Should the healthy increase in at
tendance of the past week at the
State Normal school continue, the
faculty would shortly find it oppor-
tune to display standing room only"
signs at the entrances to all the class
rooms.
With accommodations taxed by
last years attendance, whose highest
point was ESQ, the enrolment at the
end of the first week of the present
term Is about $40, and there are
many students yet to enter the
school. AS a result. it is being found
necessary to hold classes in the
chapel and gymnasium.
Every bed in the dormitory is oc-
cupied, and some 100 students, ex-
elusive of those whose homes are in
the city, are getting lodging outside
of the school. approximately as
the dormitory are being housed at
night in city residences.
So far the high cost of living has
not directly affected the club" stu
dents. 1t is said that although food
stuffs have mounted from 20 TO
100 per cent during the last couple
of years, the actual charge made for
meals remains at $3.50 a week. The
regular charge to members of the
club is SO, which fee includes up to
so cents worth of laundry a week.
While club members may be assessed
to make up any deficit that might
arise, at the end of the year. it is
said that present indications are that
a special assessment will not be nee
essary. One hundred and thirty-two
are boarding at the dining room In
the basement of the dormitory. II Is
said that were it not for the large
number patronizing the dining room
board could not be maintained at the
present moderate price.

HAS CHESTER FOUND THE SAME?
Tire Answer Is Found i'm the Straight
Forward Statement of a Ches-
ter Resident.

We have been reading week after
week in the local press of Madison
citizens who have been rid of dis
tressing kidney and bladder troubles
by Doan's Kidney Pills. and we have
often wondered whether the same
high opinion of this medicine is to
be found in our neighboring towns.
This frank and earnest statement by
a well known and respected resident
of Chester will set this doubt at rest.
Mrs. M. Christensen. Chester, S.
d., says: II suffered more OF less
from my kidneys, the principal all
ment being backache. At times /
was in agony from the pain across
my loins. l was also tired and ner-
/ finally began using Doan's
