Business Street In
DeadwOOd Sinking

Deadwood, Nov 8.-For time
city authorities of Deadwood were
mystified as to the cause of the Main
street sinking in the vicinity of the
Lawrence county courthouse. An in
vestigation revealed that the sinking
was due to the decaying of large
number of logs which were unearth-
ed at depth of about six feet be
low the street level.
1t is said that in the early days
of gold mining in Deadwood gulch
when Deadwood was one of the wild.
est mining camps in the world 9
crude sawmill occupied the site
where the logs were found, and thai
the decaying of the logs which caus
ed the street to sink were remnants
of the pioneer sawmill of Deadwoot
gulch. The old logs are being re
moved, and the space occupied b.
them will be filled with solid mater
ial, so there will be no further col
lapse of the street at that point.

Indian Chiefs
To Honor Dead

Washington, Nov. S.--Four Amer
lean Indian chiefs, each tribal hero,
will pay to the Unknown Dead at Ar
lington, next Friday the highest hon
ors known to their race by placing
upon the casket coup stick and war
bonnet. Plenty Coos of the Crows,
Lone Wolf of the Kiowas, and Amos
Red Owl and tSranger Horse Of the
Sioux, were chosen to confer the dec
grafton by Commissioner of Indian
Affairs Burke because of their prom
inence in the history of the west.
Each is a high chief in his tribe and
has fought American soldiers. They
will be dressed in full war regalia.
The coup stick, pronounced "koo" is
several feet long and was carried by
warriors who considered it brave
deed to touch an enemy during q
fight. When warrior did so he cut
notch in the stick or attached to il
an eagle feather.
The war bonnet was regarded by
the warrior as the most important
article Of his regalia and only proven
braves were allowed to wear one. The
long plume was made from eagle
feathers and each represented par.
ticular deed. Consent of the tribe
had to be obtained to make a wal
bonnet and the making was an occa,
sion for much ceremony.

To STOP SOUTH
DAKOTA LOTTERIES
ATTORNEY GENERAL URGES EN-
FORCING OF LAW.

Pierre, Nov. S.-Concerted action
to stop the increasing violations of
the states lottery law is urged upon
all states attorneys in a recent cir
cular letter sent out from the offices
of the attorney general here. Many
lodges and benevolent organizations
in various parts of the state have
sought to raise money this fall by
raffling off automobiles and other
prizes, selling tickets on the prize at
a small amount each. At least three
of these have been reported to the
state legal department
In his letter to the prosecuting at
torneys of the various counties Attor
ney General Byron S. Payne said in
|part:
ut is being repeatedly called to
the attention of this office that the
law of this state, prohibiting the con-
duct of lottery, rattle or gift enter
prise is being violated, and that such
violations are on the increase. The
violations now complained of relate
principally to the practice of various
societies, lodges and associations In
using a. lottery scheme to dispose of
property, or to raise money for their
several purposes by disposing of prop
erty through such lottery scheme.
Amy scheme for the disposal or
distribution of property. whether
called a lottery, rattle, gift en-
terprise or other name, where such
disposal or distribution is made by
chance among persons who pay for
the chance of obtaining such proper
ty, is declared by our law to be a
lottery and is prohibited under severe
penalties. All who take part in such
lottery of gift enterprise, buy or sell
tickets, in any way advertise or give
publicity to the same, are equally
guilty and are subject to the penal
ties of the law"

MORE FREIGHT
CUTS EXPECTED
FURTHER REDUCTIONS FOR
SOUTH DAKOTA ON LIVESTOCK
is PREDICTED.

Pierre, Nov. 8.-According to the
tentative report recently received
from the examiner of the interstate
commerce commission who heard the
evidence in the special case brought
by the state railroad comission
against existing livestock freight rat
es, South Dakota may be in line for
a further substantial reduction on
this class of freight to all of the prin-
cipal markets.
A reduction of 20 per cent on all
rates over so cents per hundred was
granted by the federal commission
sometime ago and became effective
on September 20. This was the re-
suit of what was known as the gen
eral livestock case broug ght by several
middlewestern states.
This states special complaint was
not Withdrawn but was argued before
a special examiner. The examiner has
now submitted a tentative report TO
the Interstate Commerce Commission
in which he recommends an even
greater reduction for the shippers of
South Dakota. The reductions recon
mended in some case amount to as
much as $40 per car.
From Rapid City, to Chicago the
proposed reductions amounts to
$26 40 per car on cattle and $40.80
per ear on hogs. To Sioux City from
Scot nd the proposed cut would be
$12. 0 per car on cattle and approx
imately $11.00 on hogs. Correspond
ing reductions are urged from prac-
tically all South Dakota stations to
Omaha, st. Paul, Kansas City and
other markets.
Should the federal commission fol-
low out sthe recommendations of the
examiner, an effort will be made to
secure even greater reductions, ac-
cording to the South Dakota board
members.

Indians To Get
Million In Cash

Gregory, Nov. S.-A message from
Representative Williamson states
that the rolls of the Sioux tribe for
the million dollar payment to the
Rosebud Indians were colsed Satur-
day, and that the distribution of the
funds will be made lat the earliest
practicable date" This payment has
been held up for several months on
account of objections as to the elig.
ibility of some of the Indians to re-
ceive a share OF the money, but il
now appears that all objections have
been cancelled. 1t is expected thai
the million dollars in cash distribute
ed among the Indians of this section
will be of material benefit in reliev
ing the financial depression.

Length Time Off
GERS Can Serve

Pierre, Nov. S.-County sheriffs
or other officers under the same clas-
sification in the state statute are not
eligible to- more than two terms
even though they may have served
their first term by appointment and
not by election, according to a recent
opinion written by Benz. d. Mintner,
assistant attorney general.
The opinion was brought about by
the inquiry of r. M. Shield, states
attorney for McCook county, where
the sheriff has served two terms and
south to clear the way for a third.
Had the first term been the result
of county organization election,
Mr.. Mintner held, referring to q pre-
vious decision Of the state legal de-
partment, then the sheriff could not
be disqualified to run again.
