SULLY CASE UP AGAIN.
Now Being Heard Before Commission
er Wallace At Sioux Falls.
Sioux Falls , S. D. , Oct. 4. Testl
mony in the famous Sully case Is nov
by being heard before United States Com
nine
mlssioner Wallace of Aberdeen in tin
federal court room In Sioux Falls.
' Mrs. Mary Sully , widow of the fa-
moiiB Jack Sully , the notorious cattle
rustler , was put on the stand and
gave her testimony through an Inter
preter. Little could bo obtained from
her. From all appearances she pos
sesses a wonderful "forgettor. "
The case Is on her part an effort to
sccuro a permanent Injunction against
the United States government from
allotting fifty-six quaiter sections of
land In the Rosebud Indian reserva
tion , which she claims she owns.
Mrs. Sully is an Indian , and appar
ently n full blood. Before marrying
Sully In the early eighties , she was
the wife of Jack Klncald.
When shown papers with her murk
In lieu of a signature , she was unable
to remember ever signing the papers
and did not recognize her own
"mark. "
United States District Attorney E.
E. Wagner Is appearing for the gov
ernment , and Mrs. Sully Is represent
ed by Attorneys Klrby and Jeffries.
A number of Indians were In court
listening to the evidence. They are
nil relatives of Mrs. Sully and have
an Interest In the case.
The Sully injunction has been in
the courts some time. It possesses
many complications that will have to
be unraveled before settlement can be
accomplished.
First Football Game Here.
The first game of football In Nor
folk was a victory for the Norfolk pick
up team consisting of n majority of
the second team of the high school
eleven , and the seventh and eighth
grades team of the Madison schools.
The score was 21 to 0 In favor of the
Noifolk team.
The Madison youngsters say al
though they were stronger than Nor
folk they lacked practice and- team
work In which Norfolk seemed to have
the better of It. The feature of the
game was the line smashes of Emery
whose fast work netted Norfolk 15
points. Lucas also featured In a fake
punt making the score 20. The other
ucore was made on a goal kick. An
other match between these two teams
Is expected In the near future.

Lincoln. Oct. 4. In the Ideal foot
ball game of the season on the Ne
braska field the Cornhusker eleven
was held to a tie score 6 to G ne ny
South Dakota , and the verdict of the
f.rowd was that the local gridiron contingent
it.
tingent was lucky to escape a defeat.
The showing made by the Nebraska
men was a distinct disappointment
but the coaches Insist there is mater
ial in the squad , and they will Improve.
The South Dakota line was a trifle
heavier , lint for the entire team the
weight was not far different. For
- the first fifteen minutes , during which
the visitors scored their touchdown
the Nebraskans at times were played
off their feet. They braced In the
- second half and for a time assumed
, the offensive , but showed signs of
. weakening as time was called.

some one stepping on a match. Max
well was under the car when the ex
plosion came and when they dragged
him out he was a mass of flame. They
tried to put it out with their hands
Just then Mr. Blair came in anc
snatched a lire extinguisher and scat
tered the powder around , putting out
the fire. The measure of gasoline
caught fire and was smothered with a
blanket. Smoke rolled out of the
door and a crowd soon collected but
the fire was out. It was a narrow es

line gas being heavier than air al
ways lies on the floor and does not go
out of the window like other gases ant
so is doubly dangerous ,

remains of tropical animals were
found ,
A new species of seal was discovered
by Professor McMillan , and the eggs ,
nest and a photograph of the knot , a
rare arctic bird , never before collected ,
were secured.
The knot Is a bird that does not
come down from the Ice regions. It
has been rarely captured by arctic ex
plorers. There Is a mounted specimen
In a museum In St.-Petersburg , the
only one In Kurope.
Professor McMillan's loss In the re
cent raid on the steamer Roosevelt
made by souvenir hunters Is more
than 100 books of all kinds , a camera ,
- a notebook containing the names of
237 Eskimos of the Ktah tribe and a
notebook on animal life above the

SEARCHLIGHTS ON HUDSON.
Most Bemitiful Illumination Planned
For Hudson-Fulton Pncjonnt
SeMvlillghtH v\lth an aggregate oft
'AOOO.OOO.OOO candle power lll Illumi
nate the Hudson river nlghtl.x for
miles during the Hudson-Fulton rvh-
bratlou at New York city. Tlins who.
have planned this display assert that
It will he the most beautiful lighting
effect In the history of the world. Tlu-ru
will be a battery of forty powerful
searchlights , which will occupy nioro
than n block on the viaduct or exten
sion of Riverside drive tit One Hundred
and Fifty-third street , overlooking the
Hudson river. They will be placed ll-'O
feet above the river , and their beam.- *
will lie cast miles up anil down that
stream , making it practically as light
as day wherever the rays are concen
trated. Even Fort Washington point-
will not be potmlttod to Interfere wltfn
the Illumination of the upper stretcho *
of the Hudson. Tin1 buttery of si-arcli-
IK'ht * will be plated -so lil h they win
throw their streams clear over Wash
ington point.
Nor Is It the purpose to confine tin *
2,000.000,000 candle power of light :
merely to the inn king of white light
for the Illumination of the river Color
effects unrivaled In the history of celo-
bratloiis have been planned by W. IVA.
Ryan , an Illuminating engineer In Sclw-
ncctady. Hugo disks , divided into HCC-
tlons of colored gelatin screen * , will
be placed In front of the lights. Fully
100 feet beyond them there will Im
steam pipes which will send out lu >
niense plumes of steam. The steam
itself would be insufficient to form n
curtain on which the lights might
play.
Therefore , to give body to It , im
mense quantities of black powder will
be burned at the base of the buttery
of steam pipes , and its smoke and the
smoke from exploding bombs will b < >
permitted to mix with the steam.
.That will make a mammoth curtain on
'which the color effect will play justaa
thougli It were a real curtain and noC
one formed of smoke and vapor. Tin *
plans call for such n smoke and vapoi-
curtaln 100 feet high and combinations.
of colors and tints which will outclass
anything of Hie sort ever attempted.
So man- screens of colored gelatin
will be available that there will be-
practically no end to the effects whlcU.
may be produced. They will be vf ! '
