Frank Mogle , of Cody , was a c
pleasant visitor at this office last

Robert Burns , a noted outlaw ,
who broke out of prison at the bi
Cheyenne River Agency about a hi
year ago by cutting a hole through sees
the floor and digging out under
the prison , was arrested last Thurs
day and lodged in jail at Rosebud esTl
Saturday by Deputy Sheriff Brown Tli
of Oacoma , Lyman county , S. D. ' mn
Burns had been operating on the Lei
Lit
Rosebud reservation during the He
past year and was caught with 35 Oal

Mark Cyphers returned from a
trip up near Chamberlain , S. D. ,
last Saturday , where he secured
the horse that was stolen from him

ed of the horse while hunting for
his mules and from the description
thought it to be Mr ! Cyphers'
horse , which proved to be the case.
The Russo-Japanese war reports
are meagre and each seems to be
getting ready to do something later
on. Some skirmishes and a few
attempts bombarding Vladivostok
and Port Arthur and other ports
held by the Russians have failed to
give the Japanese much comfort.
Russia is massing troops at princi
pal points and Japan will have to
hurry if they accomplish anything
before Russia gets settled to stay.
Several names have been promi
nently mentioned as candidates for
the city council at the coming
spring election. L. C. Sparks , J.
W.Stetter and Martin Christensen
made a good race last spring and
it is thought that either if available
could be elected this year. The
names of J. W. Stetter and W. F.
A. Meltendorff are spoken of as
likely candidates. Now is the
time to get to the front with the
best men.
John Kudelka was down from
near Georgia with a load of wheat
Tuesday which he sold at the mill
for T5c per bushel. He raised ov
er 400 bushels last year on about
16 acres , making about 25 bushels
per acre. Mr. Kudelka wants to
sell his farm and range if he can
sell soon. Anyone wanting a good
place had better see him soon. All
improvements go with the place
and about SO head of cattle are of
fered at § 13 a head with the farm.
Catholic Oh arch Announce
ment.
On Saturday , the 12th , and Sun
day , the 13th inst , the Rev.Father
Breitkopf of Stuart will be hereto
conduct the Catholic services. Con '
fessions will be heard on Saturday
afternoon and evening , also Sun- '

erence will go to Nenzel and hold

"A Rosebud Citizen" rather
spread himself in THE VALENTINE
DE3IOCRAT and we believe he made
a statement or two that he cannot
substantiate.
He says : Anyone fortunate to
draw a prize can go to any bank
and get the money necessary for
the first payment , and if lucky
enough to get a quarter section in
the farm lands he could easily get
the money to pay for it outright
without making the payment in
installments. ] "
Now we would like to know
where , the bank is located that
would advance or loan money to
the amount of § 800 on a quarter
section of the land in Gregory Co.
"Even at § 5 per acre , " tlie Citi
zen < says , there will not be an acre
land left unclaime d in Gregory
county < in six weeks after it opens.
Now if land is so valuable and
the people are so eager for claims
why don't they file on land north
White river where "there arc
liundreds of claims of as good land
there is in any part of Gregory a
Bounty , and all it costs is the ex
pense < of filing.
We wish 'to say to the "Rose-
ud Citizen" that to say the least
