StOckmen To Organize
And Fight "Rustlers''

Mclaughlin, May 5.-A meeting
for the purpose Of organizing a
Stockmen's Protective association has
been called for May 81. The men,
bership will include every stock rails
er on the Standing Rock reservation.
The annual loss among the stock
growers in this section is appalling
due to losses and 'thefts of cattle nev-
er recovered. The association means
to take steps to decrease this loss
through various methods.
1t is also proposed to seek changes
in the laws of the state regarding in
spection of brands at shipping points,
or to have the present law stringent
Iy enforced. The association also
seeks to have a file of the brands
kept as part of the county audi
tors records and to have the same
published as part of the official
county printing.

DAKOTA IN GRIP
OF AN OIL CRAZE
MANY WILD CAT WELLS Be
ING DRILLED IN STATE-BEST
INDICATIONS NEAR PIERRE.

Pierre, May 5.-Western South
Dakota is in the grip of an embry-
onic oil craze, the further develop
ment of which will depend upon the
success or failure of a dozen or more
wild cat'' wells now being drilled in
various parts of the state, from the
Missouri river to the Wyoming and
Montana boundary lines.
The epidemic, or whatever il may
be called, is raging most severely
within a radius of sixty miles of this
city, where speculation has been
ripe for many years because of GER
tain formations, as to whether or
not the western oil fields extended
this far east.
Based on recent geological sur
veys of Montana, biologists agree on
the general theory that the field
in that state extends from the north
west to southeast and If it continues
southeastward must extend into
South Dakota. These geologists al
so agree that the surface indications
are as prominent in the suspected
South Dakota oil area as in the pro-
ven Montana, and Wyoming fields.
Fossils, shells and various prehis-
toric formations are present here, it
is said, which are necessary to form
the oil containers. Biologists who
have made surveys in this state say
that in certain sections it is their
opinion that oil should be found at
a depth of from $500 to $500 feet
Fred A. Davis, of Lewiston, Mont,
and L. G.. Cree, Of Lusk, Wyo., both
of whom made separate surveys of
the western half of the state last
fall, declare there is oil under GER
tain sections, but in what quantity,
they refused to estimate.

NO DANCER OF

w. Z. G.. HARDING, RESERVE
BOARD GOVERNOR, Is
OPTIMISTIC

Cleveland, o., May 5.-W. p. G.
Harding, governor of the federal re-
serve board, Washington, told the
1000 delegates attending the open
ing session of the eighth national for
eign trade council convention today
that there is now no danger of any
general financial trouble in this
country.
1--WE are entering now, l think, up
on the final state of the great post
war re-adjustment period" he said.
II think the most serious of our prob
lens are behind us from a banking
standpoint. The question of how to
thaw frozen credits remains. Frozen
credits can be best thawed out by a
movement, stimulation of business,
which will do the thawing out auto
matically.
II want to give you this message:
There is now no danger of any gem
eral financial trouble in this country.
There is a closer relationship be-
tween the federal reserve banks and
the member banks and between bank
ers, business men and manufacturers
than has ever existed in the past.
"The time has come for renewed
courage and confidence. There is
no advantage in forcing liquidation
further. Many men have liquidated

ADMINISTRATION
BILL P ASSES
REED, OF MISSOURI, ONLY MEM
BER TO VOTE AGAINST ADOP-
TION.

Washington, d. c., May 5.-The
senate today passed the emergency
immigration bill fixing admission of
aliens to 8 per cent of each nation
ality resident in the United States in
1910 The bill is effective for four
teen months, beginning fifteen days
after enactment. The vote on pass
ocrat. Missouri, opposing the meas
ure.
The measure was sent to confer
ence with the house to adjust diff
ferences made in it as passed by the
house.
AS sent to conference the measure
would allow no exemption for any
aliens in excess of per cent limita-
tion and those entering under treat
les of agreements. Provisions to eX-
empt those coming to escape reli-
gious or political persecution from
the per cent limitation were con-
tanned in the bill as passed by the
house, but were stricken out by the
senate immigration committee when
it amended the house bill and sub
stituted the original senate meas
ure.
Senator Johnson, republican, Cali
fornia, sought to have this provision
reinserted by offering an amend
ment from the floor, but was defeat
ed Is to go. Sharp clashes occurred
during debate on the amendment, op-
posing senators charging it's adop-
tion would open the doors to hun
dreds of thousands.
Senator Johnson said it was Of
fered to preserve very dear and
sentimental precedent" and said it
did not offer loophole, such as was
described, for the reason that gov
ernment administrative officers
would establish accurately the facts
in each case.
''I cannot find it in my heart" he
said, Ito fear thine man who leaves
his native land to worship God, or
exercise his political rights. I would
not, Of course, permit the man to en-
ter who seeks to overthrow the gov
ernment by force or violence, but
would preserve that beacon light of
liberty for those who want to wor-
ship as they see fit, or exercise poll
tical rights denied them at home. "

Test Of Law
In Booze Cases

Mclaughlin, May 5.-W. H.
Ahern, special agent in the Indian
service, who has had charge of the
suppression of the use of liquor in
Indian territory, states that the re-
cent raids on the reservation were
made under authority of congress,
which makes possession of intoxi-
eating liquor in Indian territory,
where Introduction of liquor Is pro-
hibited by special act or treaty, a
federal offense. Congress also made,
unedr an amendment to the Indian
appropriation bill of 1915, posses
sion of liquor primafacie evidence OF
Introduction.
The act opening the Standing
Rock reservation to homestead entry
in 1909 also prohibits introduction
of liquor during a 25-year period.
1t is therefore very likely that pro-
secutions will follow under the old
law rather than the Volstead act.
A brief is now being prepared to
be used in the defense of number
of alleged still operators, under ar
rest. who will demur in event in
dictments are returned on the
ground that search and seizure was
made without warrants.
The legal contention is that the
acts of congress do not supersede the
fourth amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States.
A decision on this point is desir-
ed by both the federal authorities as
well as the citizens of the reserva-
tion country in general.

OFFER REWARD
FOR MURDERER
PENNINGTON COUNTY POSTS ST.
900 FOR INFORMATION AS TO
SLAYER OF CHINESE LAUN-
DRYMAN.

Rapid City, May 5.-A reward Of
$1,000 has been offered by States
Attorney Stanley, acting in behalf of
Pennington county, for information
leading to the arrest and conviction
of the person or persons guilty of
numbering Wong Joe, proprietor of
the On Tai Chinese laundry in this
city, who was found dead in his
place of business with his skull frac-
tared by blow from some blunt in
strument The reward will stand, if
necessary, until July L.
AS it has been ascertained that
several men were seen near the
it is believed that more than one
person may have been implicated in
the murder
The sheriff and police again visit
ed the laundry and in making a
search through the premises found
leather money-bag containing so
silver dollars located under some old
clothing in the room which Wong
Joe used for bedroom. A square tin
box also was found, and in 1t were
1876 pennies.
Wong Joe was reported to have
made a practice of having large
sums of money with him in his laun-
dry, and it is thought this came to
the knowledge of the person or per-
sons who murdered him. There is
no doubt by later developments that,
as at first indicated, robbery was the
motive of the crime, which was one
of the most dastardly ever commit
ted in Rapid City, as Wong Joe was
generally respected for his honesty
and energetic disposition. He was
46 years of age.
A somewhat pathetic feature is
that those who visit the scene of the
murder notice cat which spends
much time peacefully sleeping in one
of the windows of the laundry living
rooms, dumb to the fact of her mas
ters dreadful misfortune. Miss
Pussy has been turned loose several
times. but refuses to quit the job.

AIDING FARMERS
At WASHINGTON
j. j. MURPHY OF STATE RAIL
ROAD COMMISSION AND C.
w. DERR TELL OF GRAIN
GRADING.

Sioux Falls, May South Da-
kota farmers are receiving attention
from Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace, according to extended hearings
which have been recently held be-
fore Mr. Wallace, at which J. J.
Murphy, member of the state board
of railway commissioners, and c.. w.
Derr grain-dealer at Mitchell, have
appeared. The question discussed
most was the modification of the
present federal grain grades. it be-
ing contended that the scale now us
ed is an injustice to the farmer
Mr.. Murphy presented to the see
retary the views of the agricultural
interests of South Dakota, pointing
out the adverse results of the pres
ent rules of federal grain grading.
He spoke, at some length, going fully
into the matter of marketing and
the present difficulty of the agricul-
tural interests of the northwest and
showed the 'inside dope" on this
intricate and difficult problem
He also pointed out to the secre-
tary the methods of amendments and
notifications to the rules, which. If
adopted, will enable the farmer to
get a fair grading of his grains and
thereby avoid the many reductions
in price that are now attendant by
reason of the complex system of
gradings.
Several questions were asked Mr.
Murphy by the secretary, and the
commissioner was able to give a
great deal of information in relation
to the question Of grain grading and
its effect on South Dakota. 1t is
thought that Mr. Murphy's visis to
Washington will ultimately result in
great benefit for the agricultural in
terests of the northwest.
The entire congressional delega-
tion from South Dakota, of senator's
and representatives, attended the
hearings.
C. w. Derr, the other South Da-
kota main in Washington at the
present time on this mission, appear
ed before the house committee on
agriculture for several days on the
hearings relating to the dealing in
grain futures and the buying and
selling of future options. Several
bills are now before the committee
relating to this subject, and the
view of the South Dakota farmers
was desired.

encouraged to build themselves up.
We are reaching every day a asfer
basis upon which to do business. The
problems before us are all solvable.
When we consider the great crisis
which America has passed through in
recent years, we cannot doubt the
problems which confront us today
will be safely met and we will enter
upon a period of safe, solid and per-
manent prosperity based upon firm
and lasting foundation

Automobile Girls
Collide With Train

Aberdeen, May 5.-Driving south
on Main street, eight young girls of
this city collided with an incoming
M. and st. L. passenger train
The car struck just behind the
cylinders of the engine and, had it
been travelling at a higher rate of
speed, would probably have spelled
death to members of the party
The bell of the engine was ring
ing and the whistle had just been
blown as the car struck.
Passengers of the automobile state
they did not see the train until it
hit the engine.
The car was damaged to the ex-
tent of about s400.
