They were then led Into Justice Cox's office at Foster.

Ever since a tract of nearly 1,000,000 acres of land formerly belonging to the Rose bud Indian reservation In Trlpp county was opened to white settle ment there has been the most bitter feeling between the homesteaders and white owners of cattle who had been grazing their herds of cattle on the land , In accordance with agree ments entered Into with the Indians , with the consent of the Indian bureau officials at Washington. The settlers have steadily maintained that the herds had no right on the ceded Innds , nnd this view now has been confirmed by the authorities of the Interior department , who hold that all grazing leases in the ceded portion of Trlpp county expired in June of last year , and that the cattlemen who have agreements with the Indians have had no rights In the ceded portion tion of Trlpp county since that time. In view of this , If the cattlemen con tinue to disregard the right's of the homesteaders by permitting their cat tle to continue to roam over the ceded lands , they will be declared common trespassers nnd will be prosecuted under the laws of South Dakota.

To the Citizens of Norfolk : You are Invited to co-operate with the of ficials of the municipality to clean up all streets , alleys , vacant lots , business places and home promises. A clean city means loss sickness nnd n lower death rate. Rats , ( lies and In sects feed on and breed In garbage and rubbish and as the former carry dis ease , the danger from them Is les sened by eliminating their food supply and breeding places. Last month there were ninety cases of the plague in Canton , Ohio , with seventy deaths. This disease Is carried by the rat lloa , and the rats In Norfolk could become lnfect ° d as easily as those of any other city. There are twenty-six varieties of files that frequent sewerage and hu man food and carry typhoid and other diseases. Earth closets should , there fore , be treated with quicklime and screened , and all manure removed weekly during fly season. Please do not , for this reason , throw waste from the table or kitchen upon the open alley , but In a screened box. J. H. Mackay , City Physician. Notice.
