Alleged Cattle Rustlers
Held To District Court
Burdick Brothers and Pearle Hicks Held
To Next Term of District Court
Charged With Cattle Theft

Joe Burdick, Pearle Hicks and
Walter Burdick, were held to the
next term of district court for Sioux
county following a preliminary
hearing Monday before Justice
R. B. Mcdonald at Solen. The
men are charged with having butch
cred cattle stolen from range on the
reservation.
States Attorney johnson con-
Quoted the prosecution, while J..
K. Murray Of Mott, appeared for
the defendants. Three Indians,
Albert Leanelk, Paul Redfox and
James Windy, were the witnesses
for the state. They testified that
some time in August they had met
the Burdick boys driving off steer
branded TX, belonging to the Stiles
Cattle Company. They told the In
dians that they would give them IS
each if they would say nothing
about the matter.
1t was also brought out that the
witnesses had seen Hicks in the act
of butchering steer branded RO
which also belonged to the Stiles
Cattle Company. In an unused we'll
on an abandoned homestead between
the .Burdick and Hicks place on
the west side of the Cannonball riv-
er were found several hides with the
Stiles Cattle Company brands.
The state also has other evidence
that was not brought out at the pre-
liminary hearing, and two more In.
dian witnesses for the state were not
called. 1t is understood that there
is evidence against three others i'm
rlicatedziintaissy tie &sss.sl One Of
them is brother of the Burdicks'
who is now in Canada, and the
other two have joined the army, 80
it is not likely that charges will be
made against them.
All three defendants were releas-
ed on $500 bond each, which was
furnished by Mrs. Burdick, Ben
Lane and Mr.. Knowles.

IA Turner Goes Free

Following a hearing Tuesday in
justice court at Solen, two charges
of cattle rustling against F. G. Tur-
ner of IA brand fame, were dis
missed.
Turner was given a hearing some
time ago before Justice Mcdonald
on the charge Of having branded a
calf belonging to the Stiles Cattle
Company. At the same time he
was also charged with having stolen
COW belonging to Fred Ostrum.
The last case was tried Tuesday and
the decision in the former case
which was withheld was given at
the conclusion, and Mr.. Turner
goes scott free on both charges.
Mr.. Stiles stated the first of the
week that there were other charges
against Turner and it is possible
that he may be re-arrested, although
no action has been taken at this
time.

Liberty Loan Is Nearly
Billion Dollars Behind
Subscriptions are Only 40 per cent Of
Hoped for Maximum-True Figures
Are Being Given Out

Washington, Oct. 23.-Swinging into
the home stretch with subscriptions
Of only $1,973, 100000 the Liberty Loan
campaign is slightly under 40 per cent
Of the hoped for maximum.
The final squirt will finish next Sat
urday. Widespread reports that the
totals announced by the treasury de-
partment are actually far below the
totals really subscribed are regarded
as great handicap.
This handicap, 1t is said, is imposed
unwittingly by the loans best friends,
who have come to believe in many In.
stances that the treasury department
has deliberately made the total sub.
scriptions appear less, "by several
hundred million dollars" than the real
returns. No such practice, it was EN-.
phatically asserted, has prevailed.
Estimate Based on Facts.
COMMITTEE chairmen throughout the
country" reads the treasury depart.
inent statement last night, "have been
asked to base their estimates on what
they know to be the facts, and in so
far as is known at the department
they have done so. A striking example
Of the inaccuracy Of some reports
which have been sent broadcast was
shown in the case of the Minneapolis
district, where estimates Of current
sales were being published daily be.
fore the sale started there"
"The situation, therefore, according
10 the best information the department
possesses is that the sales to date are
about $1,0O0,OO0,O0O short of the mini.
mum and s3,OOO,000,0OO short of the
maximum quotas set for the country
by Secretary McAdoo at the outset of
the campaign. He insisted that 3d..

his expressed hope that the $4,000, ,O00,.
900 mark wosld be reached.
New Squirt to Be Started.
Vigorous efforts will be made in
every district between now and next
Saturday noon, to raise the $4,000, ,O0O,.

Bond Election Carrie.

Only 30 votes were cast at the
special election held at Fort Yates
tuesday to vote on the question of
bonding Fort Yates school district
IN the amount of 1000 to take I'M
the outstanding warrants and place
the district on a cash financial
basis.
All the votes cast were in favor
OF issuing bonds. The light vote
was due to the fact that no voters
came in from the country owing to
the long distance. AS there was
no opposition to the proposition
but little interest was taken.
The bonds voted will run for q
period Of 20 years and bear 4 per
cent interest. This is material
saving. az the warrants draw Z per
cent interest. By issuing bonds the
burden of building and maintain.
ing schools in new, sparcely set
tied country will not fall entirely on
the few taxpayers now within the
district. Settlers moving in during
the next 20 years, who will benefit
from the establishing ttof the schools
will now be called upon to bear.
part Of the initial expense.
BY floating this bond issue the
school district will be in good shape
and II no more new schools are
built the current taxes should pay
