Tn' of the Improved land was placed by
th- raaeasors at Jll8.394.re2 and the unlm

ft.tesed at tlfi.CTO.SDT.
Then elRhty-nlx counties this year re

47; cattle, 2,R34,!M head valued at $9,193,404.
Apparently a new light has broken In on
th board member" In the matter of the
XVwglns county acrrer!t, for It' I. the
belief of eomii of them at least that Ioug
1ns rountv lund hn been pretty fairly as-
emefl. This, because Liana commissioner
Fol'rr.er compiled a ' lint of sales In that
countv end he found that the average sell
ing price on Innda has been an acre.
wliLJe the vslue placed on the land by As
ccfior 1-lerd was ISI.33 on acre. Mr. Folt
mcr believes, however, that the best land
In Iimtglna county hns not changed hands
and hi stated that a number of the deeds
ttie.r examined were of n' family nature and
tin price designated was not near the value
of tho. property, while a lot of other land
was sold subject to mortgage, .' lie believe,
however, that Douglns county land haa
hewn pretty fairly assessed.
Tt f not Relieved the assessed valuation
.f a'l te property In the state will rench
more than Ir90.0o0.0fio even after the state
board hps made Its Increases. The board
hns rturn a disposition to make a high
KFsessment, but now that Douglas county
Mnd seems to have been fairly assessed the
members are not sure where the Increase la
to come from, having depended on Douglas
ftirntpli.ng most of It.
' Ioe4lnnr Teacher Meeting;.
TV. II. Gardner, member of the executive
committee ef tho State Teachers' associa
tion, was here today discussing tha loca
tion of the next meeting of the association.
Both Omaha and Lincoln are after tho
meeting and as the organization of the as
sociation Is In the hands of the North Flatte
people tt Is reasonable to suppose that If
the people of Omaha go after the associa
tion with any degree of energy they will
securo It. Borne of the teachers of Omaha
profess to bellevo that If that city la
chosen for the meeting place tho enroll
ment 'will reach 2.000, which would eclipse
by nlmoet 200 the best record ever made In
IJncoln. The members of the committee
nre E. J. Bod well of Omaha, W. B. Gard
ner of Fremont. J. E. Dalzel of Lexington
and D.- C. O'Connor of Norfolk. These
are all anxious to rocolvc suggestions froth
the teachers In the matter of location.

that no such person as' Kline lived near
there. Ilawkens waa also called up over
tha telephone and narrated his ht,iSe trade.
In the meantime Farrls was patiently wait

BONESTEEL. B. D., July 23.-Llke a
thunderbolt from a clear sky came the
outbreak, at I o'clock this morning, be
tween the police and the lawless element,
which resulted In the shotting of two
policemen and two of the "thugs. For
nearly twenty-four hours previous there
had been a season of such peaceful calm
that the moat optimistic views were being
Indulged In. The opinion was general that
the worst had passed, and a fancied se
curity had sent the people of the town to
bed with a feeling of confidence that there
would ba no further serious disturbance,
so when tha clash came this morning it
brought about a firm determination to put
an effectual stoppage to the seeness that
have been rife during the last few days.
The cltlsens and better element of Bone
steel had formed a vigilance committee
last night and had made the rounds of
the houses, shacks and tents of the town,
collecting together all of the objectionable
characters that they could find. These to
the number of about thirty were herded
together and run out of the town. During
the roundup the police had also: captured
a wagon containing a quantity of dynamite
and a. complete kit of safe blowing tools.
The men captured with this outfit were
locked up in the station house, where they
are still confined. .
Two Polleemen Shot.
About I o'clock this morning Special
Policeman Stanley C. Harrison, whoae home
Is at Wichita, Kan., and Ell. Stanbrough,
who came hero from Oklahoma, were mak
ing their rounds In company. While pass
ing the pike aaloon they . were attacked
by a gang of thugs and shot. The police
returned the fire, wounding two of their
assailants, who ran, but were afterward
captured and locked up.
Harrison, who it Is said, is well-to-do,
came here yesterday, and being a lover of
excitement. Joined the police force.. He
had bee on duty only a few hours when
he was shot. It was thought at first that
his wound, being in the forehead, would
prove fatal, but it developed that the bul
let deflected, and It Is believed now that
he will recover. Stanbrough, tha officer
who was In company with Harrison, also
waa a recent addition to tha force. He
waa ahot in the leg and the wound la toot
considered dangerous, barring blood poison
ing. Immediately after the shooting of the of
ficer the vigilance committee began an
other roundup of the gang and a doxen or
more questionable characters were brought
in. ,At their trials, which occurred dur
ing the day, all were sentenced to deporta
tion from the city, and will be taken away

RIClUltnl GOES. TO (HIMBERLAI
Commissioner of Land (Ifflrt Mill
Supervise TAoaebnd PrTrlsT. .
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. July 23 (Special Tele
gram.) W. A. . Richards, commissioner of
the general land offlce, . left Washington
today for Chamberlain, S. D., to super
vise the drawing for homesteads which
are contained In Gregory county and are
generally known as Rosebud reservation.
There have been In round numbers 100.
000 registrations filed for SS2,000 acres- cf
land to be thrown open to homestead entry
In thla tract The drswtnrs will commence
cn the morning of July 8 and continue
until all territory to be opened 4s drawn.
There have been no dlr turbnnces between
the deputy marsnais and locsl police au
thorities, at least so far as Is known
through officials here. Commissioner
Richards before leaving this afterncon
stated that so far as his department was
concerned everything connected with the
opening haa thus far progressed to his
entire satisfaction. .
"There have been some attempts at gun
play," said Mr. Richards, "but so far
I am adVised no one has been killed or
seriously hurt. I received a few hcurs
ago a dispatch from one of our agents in
which it waa stated that there appeared
to be no necessity for calling upon the
federal authorities for troops, as has been
stated would be neceesnry. The local state
authorities seem to have the situation well
In hand according to my latest advlcea."
Of Material Beneflt to Dakota.
"The opening of the Rosebud country,"
continued Commissioner Richards, "will
be a great advertisement for the state of
South Dakota, to say nothing of the ma
lerlal benefits which will accrue to it
through the opening to white settlement
of such territory as la contained In the
Gregory county grant This opening will
add. In my opinion, at least 10,000 to the
population of South Dakota, and this great
increase will be made within a few weeks,
and, furthermore, will be permanent pop
ulation, desirable in every particular.
Many thousands, who have sought home
steads In tho rich lands in Gregory and
who may fall to, draw a homestead there,
can easily be accommodated In the adjoin
ing county of Lyman. .The overflow, I
believe, will ultimately eettle in Lyman
county. . All of this land la excellent for
agrlcutural and graxlng purposes and ll
practically virgin, much of It never having
been turned by the plow. The opening of
the Rosebud lands haa been extensively
advertised and has attracted considerable
attention from sturdy young farmers of
many states adjacent to South Dakota
who realise the possibilities of the splen
did home held out to them."

Says Troopa Are Needed.
At 9:30 o'clock today John , McPhaul. in
charge of registration here, sent the fol
lowing telegram to E. A. Warner, private
secretary to Governor Herried, at ierre:
The town waa in complete control of tho
lawless element on Thursday and yesterday
morning not ind robbing prevailed. La it
night the citlaena committee. In eorjunc
tion with town authorities, organised and
are making a splendid effort to enforce
order. Two police officers, were shot last
night, but the authorities succeeded, tem
porarily at least, in controlling the situa
tion. Much uneasiness still exists. Many
citizens have not slept for twenty-four
hours. Registration closes today, but the
town trustees, with whomI have recently
conferred, believe troops necessary to secure
order during the period of entry, beginning
August R. and think they should be sent
immediately in order that the situation he
under control. In this view I concur. Tou
understand that as a federal officer It Is my
duty to communicate officially through the
Washington authorities, and this telesrarn
Is sent strictly In answer to your request
for my opinion of the conditions here.
Lata last night several men were ar
rested In a bunch and a complete set of
safeblowlrrg tools found In their possessslon.
They were placed in the lockup and are
to have their trial today. The vigilance
committee also collected together about
thirty of the objectionable element,
marched them out of tha city and warned
them not to return. At the present writing
the town la quiet.
A reply was received saying that the
troops wore being heid In readiness to
come to Bonesteel if it waa clearly
demonstrated that the present efforts of
the local authorities,, to restore order
proved unatalllng. .
Innocent Bystander S offers.
About 8:15 this evening a policeman was
endeavoring to make an arrest. The cul
prit, not heeding tha order to halt, waa
fired upon. Tha bullet did not reach lta In
tended victim, but lodged In the leg of a
passerby,- E. E. Moreo of Columbia, Mo.
The wound la Just above tho knee and la
Insignificant.
Tonight a dozen or more special police
men were sworn in and the entire force is
tonight patrolling every part of the town.
Peace and quiet now obtains and strong
hopes are entertained that no further
serious trouble will occur.
"Palsy" Mugner, the largest concession
aire of gambling privileges and the ac
knowledged leader of that element, today
accidentally ehot himself In Oie foot. The
wound, while painful, la slight.
An order waa promulgated today to close
all places of business at il o'clock tonight,
and la being enforced to the letter.
Promptly at 5:M p. m. the registration at
the local federal office closed. The regis
tration at this point wsa tt.OtVi, that of
Fairfax being 8,(90 and the total registra
tion 106,000. Mr. Monroe, clerk of Butt.
Neb., holds tha distinction of being the
laat person to have Ms Eme placed upon
the lists.
Contrary to expectation the last two
days have been exceedingly light in point
of reglstrstlon. and Is accounted for mainly
by the turbulent condition ef affairs In
Bonesteel. The night train last night is
said to have brought only six people to the
town.
It is rumored lste tonight that a third
thug, claimed to have been shot in the af
fray early thla morning, but who escaped,
has rlnce died. Tho rumor Is unconfirmed.
At 11 o'clock the town Is quiet and orderly
and while the authorities are prepared for
any eventuality It Is believed that a night
of peace will be passed.
Yankton Exceeds All Others.
TANKTON, 8. D., July 23 (Special Tele
gram.) The period of registration for the
Rosebud lands closed at 8 o'clock this
evening. The clerk In charge gave out the
official figures of the total registration at
this point as 67.434. Yankton registered
more than Bonesteel, Fairfax and Chain "xr.
luln combined. The city remained In per
fect order at the close. Tonight the visitors
aro leaving rapidly.
Troon Will Watrk Flllnas.
plEItriE, fi(. D.. July 23. .SrU.I Tele
gram.) The situation at Bonesteel Is such
that It Is considered best by tha local
authorities ta have a company of state
troops stationed at that place during the
tluia that fl li kb are being made. A re-
queat to that I fleet has be,-,i mad and
i:l iio! ,! y ta a. ted utuu a Soon as

smoker to go into the ditch. Tho other cara
remained upright. t
A spoclal train bearing physicians went
