HOLD BARCLAY
MURDER CHARGE
HOMESTEADER CLAIMS HE KILL
ED A RANCHER IN SEL-DE-
FENSE.

Hot Springs, March 17.-George
f. Barclay, homesteader of the
Edgemont district, as the result of
his preliminary hearing was held
without bail to answer to the charge
of murder. He confessed the killing
of M. j. Waldner, a prominent ranch
man, but claims he shot in self-de-
fense. Barclays son, Clarence, aged
16, also is held under bond as a ma
terial witness.
There was a great deal of mystery
as to the cause of the shooting and
killing of Waldner, but this now has
been solved by the announcement
that the trouble between them was
due to the fact that several weeks ago
a rancher named Hagius, neighbor
of Waldner, is alleged to have caught
the Barclay boy in the Waldner
chicken house and reported the mat
ter to Waldner. From this trivial in
cident bitter feeling between Wald-
ner and Barclay was engendered and
finally eliminated in the murder of
Waldner.
Barclay, in his confession to the
officers, claims that Waldner rode
toward him while he (Barclay) was
working on an irrigation ditch. He
further claims that Waldner threat
ened to "get" him and rode toward
him. Then Barclay dropped the
shovel with which he had been work
ing and picked up his shotgun. ly-
ing nearby, and shot at Waldner
He states he intended to fire again
but refrained when Waldner started
to ride away When Waldner's horse
was found riderless and with blood
on the saddle by a rancher named
Kennedy. he made search for VALID
ner, finding the body quite dis
tance from the scene of the shooting,
the horse carrying him that distance
before the body fell off.
The officers claim Waldner was
shot in the back, evidently while rid
ing away, the charge of shot enter
ing the back just below the left kid
ney. Waldner was unmarried. Bar
clay, in addition to the son who is
held as a material witness, also has
daughter aged about eight.

TOW|VLEY STORES
ASK RECE|vERsH|P
NONPARTY CONTROLLED CHAIN
COMPANY FILES PETITION,
BLAMING FROZEN" ASSETS.

Minot, N. d., March 17.-The Con-
chain of stores organized as an ad-
junct of the Nonpartisan league has
made application for voluntary re-
ceivership in the district court at
Minot before Judge George I'll. Noel
lering, w. G. Johnson, secretary
treasurer of the company was ap-
pointed receiver.
This action, it is claimed by the
Stores company, is to prevent other
creditors from seeking receiverships.
The company, the applicants declar-
ed, is not insolvent, although consid-
cradle of it's assets are frozen in clos
ed banks in North Dakota. The COM
pany claims assets amounting to al
most $1,000,000 and liabilities of
some $3.50. 900.
The stores company was organized
by J w Brinton ia l917-lyl8, farm
ers not buying stock. but buying Ger
tificates tor 500 which entitled the
owner TO buy from the stores which
were to sell for cost, plus 10 per
cent. The contract by which store
was placed in a community provided
that the first $4,000 realized was
to be used for the store and all above
that amount could be used to estab-
lish wholesale warehouses and "edu-
cational propaganda.
Attorneys for the company state
that more than so per cent of the
amount pledged by farmers through
notes for the buying certificates has
not been paid Under the receiver
ship, the company says this money,
amounting to more than 100000,
will be collected gradually"
The affairs of the company are
handled by board of directors which

house investigating committee at Bis
marck, were dummies for A c.

OFFICERS TRAIL
RUSTLER BAND
RANCHMEN MISSOURI RI v T. II
DISTRICT MAKE THREATS OF
LyNCHING.

Mitchell, March 17.-There is
raging in those counties in central
South Dakota bordering on the Mis-
souri, river war against cattle rustl-
ers which equals even the stirring
territorial days when Jack Sully
roamed the western prairies.
AS result of the activities of the
local authorities, assisted by deputy
state sheriffs, three members of what
is believed to be one of the most dar-'
ing and desperate To be one OF the
most daring and desperate bands of
horse and cattle thieves that have
ever operated In the state are behind
the bars The brains of the gang, a
notorious ex-convlct known as "Bui-
large, and the activities of the gang
are by no means ended.
So high is the feeling running in
the river districts that widespread
threats of lynching are being made.
Cattle and horses valued at many
thousands of dollars have disappear
ed from the range in the last few
years and the blood of the ranchers is
boiling now. buffalo George" is
known to go heavily armed at all
times, and those officers who have
thus far attempted to corral him
have gone into the river underbrush'
with their hands on their guns.
Buffalo George" is go years old
and has been sentenced once before
for cattle rustling. He has four years
of his original sentence to serve, hav-
ing been released on parole. Since
his return to the Lower Brule res
ervation George has carefully organ
lied the business of rustling.
1t is known that certain ranchers
operating bona-fide ranches between
the reservation and the Nebraska line
are cooperating with the rustlers.
The stolen cattle are driven only at
night, hidden on the ranch of one
of the members of the gang in the
day, and thus the trip southwark ana
across the Nebraska line is easily
made with little chance of discovery.
Once into Nebraska the stolen stock
is shipped to Omaha for sale.
For the most part unbranded stock
is stolen, the rustlers clipping the
hair short to innate brand.
Cy Baldwin, cowpuncher, is the
latest member of the gang to be ar
rested. He was captured in an In
dian shack on the Lower Brule res
ervation aud is now in jail at Ft.
Pierre. Stevenson and Goodven, two
other members of the gang. were
captured last month.
All three have pleaded guilty TO
rustling.
But Buffalo George" is still at
large and has sworn that he VIII
never be taken alive.

HARDING FAvORS
ANTI DUMPING
ALSO DESIRES TARIFF FOR DU-

IN U. $. MARKET.

Washington, March 17.-President
Harding has given his approval to
the immediate passage of an anti
dumping measure by the special ses-
sio nof congress.
He also approved changing the ex-
isting tariff laws so duties will be
collected on the value of goods in the
American market, and not on their
value in the country of their origin.
The president made this known to
Senator Penrose and Representative
Fordney, when they called at the
white house late Tuesday.
While the senate adjourned Tues
day, and the house is not in session
meetings of the committees of both
chambers are to be held between now
and April IL, when the special ses-
sion meets. The object will be to
get as many hearings out of the way
as possible before the session.

subjects should be taken up first.

Winner, March 17.-Mystery sur
rounds the destruction by fire of the
hotel at Jordan, small town in this

1t is believed to have been the

have had a rea lor fancied grievance
against John Hukill, the proprietor,

a business trip to Gregory.
There had been no fire in the fur
mace and those who investigated ap-

ed by firebug.
Within a short time the entire up
