Tho settlers on tho abandoned Fort Ran

central portion ;of the state, near tho Ne
braska border, nro preparing to clrculato
petitions asking congress at Its session
next winter to grant the settlers free
homesteads on their lands. Tho tract wa3
opened under h special net, to which tho
free homestead law does not apply, and the
settlers are required to pay n certain sum
per aero for the land II led upon by them.
What Is known as the Fort Randall reser
vation was occupied by Brigadier General
Harney In 1855, and by order of June 14.
I860, tho 125.0Q0 acres embraced In tho
reservation wero formally set aside for
military purposes. Thrco or foir years
ago, the. post having been abandoned somo
years prior, tho' lands embraced In the
reservation woro opened to settlement.
Practically all' the land Is now occupied
by actual settlers, who argue that Inasmuch
as the military J-cscj-vatlou was confiscated
from the Indians by tho government, not
costing the latter a cent, It would ho no
more than Just and' fair for congress to
enact such legislation as would cause tho
provisions of the froo horucstend law to
be extended to tho land. Tho representa
tives from South Dakota In congress will
be asked to tnkb hold of tho matter and
urgo the passage of a bill releasing the
settlers from tho payments required at

to tho admission of this evidence, but tho
court Dually allowed it to go In because
what was said was spoken In the presence
of the defendant.

Mrs. Fosburgh was tho last witness for
the defense and Immediately after hex tes
timony wns concluded the defense rested.
Some rebuttal testimony closed the case
with tho understanding that tho comm'bn
wealth would haVe ,an opportunity ot
placing Colonel Whitney, state detective,
on the stand In the morning.
At tho close of tho session Judge Stevens,
with tho counsel for both sides, retired to
the anteroom, where ,Mr. Joyner for tho
defense made a long nrgufnent on the ques
tion ot his suggestion thnt tho Judge order

husband went to tho Fosb'urKlr.ho'use, wlfcro
they wore told what had ba'npenod. On
cros8-xainlrfat"lon ' "witness' sold sho
had nover spoken to any of ,tho Fosburgh
family' about ltho tragedy slnc'o. th'e' night
It occurred.
; Tho next witness called was Harry . S.
Plumb, one of the Fosburgh neighbors.
'His testimony was on tho same lines as
that ot Miss Chapln. Ho ndded that tho
fiT3t time he saw Mr. Fosburgh, sr., he, had
oh-nightshirt and trousers. The defandant
was dressed. Dr. Paddock came, tp the
Fosburgh houso threo-quarters of an hour
after Dr. Schofleld. Witness was cer
tain that he noticed the footprints, which
scorned to be thoso made by two men who
had dropped .down from tho piazza roof.
On .cross-examination the witness said
ho had Introduced Mr. Chapman Io Mr.
Fosburgh. sr., and ho heard the latter ask
Chapman, to keep outsiders from tho hous.0.
Officer White appeared about that time
with a shoe' 'and hat In his hand. Miss
Bertha Sheldon, tho young woman whq was
visiting the Fosburghs when tho shooting
occurred, theji vcnt upon tho witness staud.
On tho night of tho shooting she occupied
the guest chamber loading from May's
room. The w.iincss then proceeded- to ro
lato tho happonlngs of Sunday,' both day
and evening. Sunday night May sang "Tho
Holy City," and sho remembered, that tho
members of tho family kissed ono another
and bade ono another good night, as' wns
their custom. Shortly after raldnlghtsho
was awakened by h piercing cream, and
then sho heard a pistol shot. Sho got up,
opened tho door and astyed' what was the
matter. Sho saw May upon the floor and
sbe Baw young Robert Fosburgh near his
room. Sho also saw Beatrice, Mr. Fos
burgh, sr., nnd his wife, She called Bea
trice to her and again asked what had
happened. District attorney objected to
the witness giving the answer Beatrice
gave. Tho court retired with counsel to
consider In prlvato tho admissibility "of. this
ovldence.
Judge Stevens announced that by agree
ment of counsel the question would bo
answered, and Miss Sheldon said that
Boatrlcu exclaimed, "Burglars have en
tered tho ho'uso and shot May." Wit
ness said that sho then returned to her
room, dressed and went down stairs.
Thn admission of what Miss Beatrice
said to Miss Sheldon was rogarded as a
victory for the defense. Continuing her
testimony, Miss Sheldon said that she spent
tho rest, of the night down stairs. She
wont away In tho forenoon, vory much 'ex
cited and nervous. She know, sho woi(ld
be In tho way if she stayed. Tho witness
described the sceno in May's room at somo
length. She saw Mrs, Robert Stewart
Fosburgh bepd over her husband, who, was
at the side ot May on the floor.
Sho would say that all tho mcmbors of
the Fosburgh family' were very much ,do
voted to each other. On cross-examination
by Mr. Crosby, Miss Sheldon said sho re
membered a talk at her home In Provldenco
with Colonel Whitney and Captain Parker
of the Providence detective forco about tho
trogody. Sho told Colonel Whitney she had
heard a shot and that sho had then got tip
nnd opened tho door.
"Did you see nny burglars that nlght'7"
"No, sir."
In re. direct examination by Mr. Jos-nor.
Miss Sheldon said she told Mr. Whitney
that what sho did know was very llttlo.
Cross-examined by Mi. Whitney, MIbs
Sheldon said she had not boon In Plttsfl'eld
since tho day of the tragedy nor hart sho
vlbltodx the Fosburgh houso. This con
cluded Miss Sheldon's testimony. When
she left tho stand all o the Fosburghs
shook hands with her.
T. I'. Sheldon Tetlfle.
T. P. Sheldon, the father of Bertha Slid
don, testified that his relations with tho
Fosburghs wero pleasant. Ho would not per
mit his daughter to testify at tho Inquest
because she had not recovered from her
shock.

Mrf Fosburgh, sr., described an experiment
which, he mndo .last evening with a screen

DANGER
Sufferers from tills horrible malady
nearly always inherit it not necessarily
from the parents, but may tie from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several ccnerationS. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
yenrs, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its np
pcarancc or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part of the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cnnccr thoroughly and perma
nently nil the poisonous vims must be
eliminated from the blood--every vestnge
of it driven out. This S. S. S. docs, nnd
is the only medicine that can reach dcejH
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the 6ystcm the Cancer heals, nnd the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins of ten in a email way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shircr shows :
A Hnnll pimple enme on my jaw about nn Inch
below the ear on the left side of tny face. It gve
me no p.ini or inconven

forf'ntieit n'.xmt it had it
not bcaun toli'llnmennd
Itch i it would bleed a
little, then scab over, but
would nut heal. Tills
continued for rotne time,
when my jaw began to
nwell, becoming very
rtnltiful. The Cancer bc-
nan to cat nnd spread,
until It was ns large aan
half dollar, when 1 herd'

and It was lemarkahle
what a wonderful effect
It had from the very bcfilntilnR ; the sore begaute
