No Red Stamps to Help Fatei
Dallas , S. D. , Aug. 12. Special to
The News : Judge James W.Vitten
of Washington , D. C. , who will be in
personal charge of registration for the
llosebud and Pine Ridge reservation
lands , lias made formal arrangements
for his living quarters in Dallas during
the registration series October 2 tc
21. Ho has arranged for dally auto
mobile service , so that he can alsc
supervise registration affairs at Greg
ory , live miles east of here.
One of the now regulations for hand
ling envelopes at the coming opening
Is that all must be stamped and mallet
through the postofllce , this rule apply
ing just to Dallas , Gregory , Chamber
lain and Rapid City. Three years ago
In the Tripp county opening , apphca
tions made at Dallas and Gregorj
were dropped directly into the largi
cans without stamps , but at all othe
points the envelopes were deposited ii
the mail.
"Bright Red" Influenced 'Em.
Two reasons are assigned for tin
now rule. One Is to overcome an
possible imputation of advantage t ;
stamped or unstamped envelopes
Three years ago numbers 1 and 2 hai
peued to bo stamped envelopes am
the claim was heralded that the littl
girls who did the drawing of the flrs
100 numbers were intlueuced by th
"bright red stamps. " There will b >
no chance for such a criticism thl
time.
Another material reason for requii
ing all applications to be mailed to th
supervising olllcer Is to give an oppoi
tnnlty to inspect the envelopes fo
outride markings. If anything of th
kind appears the envelope will b
opened and the application returned t
the per&on executing it , with an e :
planatlon of the irregularity of thl
plan , giving the person an opportunlt
to try again. Two envelopes draw ;
out under the 100 mark three year
ago were labeled , on the outside , wit
the name of the applicant. This vol <
od the application and caused thes
two individuals , as well as others u
the list a ways , to be burdened wit
exceeding remorse.
Prepare An Exhibit.
Inquiries received by the Greau
Dallas committee and by various ind
vlduals here indicate that the registr
tlon tills fall will be very large and E
surprise will be occasioned If the mai
of 110,000 applications , establish *
three years ago , will be overreaclu
iu this event. Arrangements hai
been completed for an immense Hi
stock and grain exhibit here , to co >
tlnuo during the three weeks of regl
tratlon. The exhibits will cover tl
entire Rosebud country Gregor
Trlpp and Mollette counties.
Still Wears His Revolver.
Humphrey , Neb. , Aug. 12. Edit :
News : A few days ago you publish )
an account of some trouble I had wi
the village officials of Humphn
which resulted in my protecting in
self from the attack of the villa ,
marshal by the use of my revolv <
The tiremen's tournament brought
a crowd of tough men and soiled w
men. I called the attention of tl :
mayor to the conditions , but he sa
the town had been turned over to tl :
llremen.
I took the Catholic priest ( he beii
the only clergyman in town at th
tlmo ) down the first night of tl :
tournament and on the night followii
the tournament. I had the marsh
called up to the priest's house. The
before four other witnesses he to
his revelling story of the condltlo >
that existed for two days. The Call
lie priest in his sermons both Engll
and German on the following Sundc
denounced those responsible for wli
had happened. Some of the boa
and firemen resented my having tri
pcd the marshal in exposing t ;
crimes , and resorted to abuse , ai
threatened violence to mo. I call
the mayor Into my office and asked
protection from the mob of Irresponsi
ble or to at least allow me to arm my
self. This ho refused to do , saying
I had brought It upon myself by tell
ing the priest. On his refusal I de
termined to protect myself and , get
ting my revolver off of my case
I put it In my belt and started for
homo in company with the mayor.
The marshal seeing mo como across
the street In a menacing manner , curs
ed me and called mo vile names for
having had him tell his story to the
priest. The mayor seemed unable to
protect mo from his anger so I de
termined to protect myself. I drew
my revolver and forced the marshal
to bark off. He has since tnreatened
to "got me" so I continue to wear my
revolver strapped to my person , and
shall continue to do so , until such
tlmo as I can receive protection from
the city officials.
My arrest for carrying concealed
weapons of several days ago which
you have published resulted from the
above encounter. The village board
know of the conditions during the
carnival and of the actions of the mar
shal , hut up to the present time have
taken no action. .
The Humphrey people should not be
condemned for this condition for wo
all knew that the village board is not
generally selected on account of their
virtues. Complaint will be filed with
the governor , under .the Sackett law ,
to remove the present officials for re
fusing to perform their duty.
It Is a gratification to me to have re
celved the number of letters of con
gratulation , and personal thanks and
encouragement from hundreds of de
cent people in and around Humphrey.
The fact that my office building was
covered with eggs , thrown by hood
lums at night , and that I have received
two indecent letters through the mall ,
simply Indicates better than words
can tell the character of the persons
I am fighting , in order to keep Humph
rey a clean town.
Respectfully ,
jjr. XV. M. Condon.

Found Oil Street Covered With Hay
W. H. Blakeman , who returned la !
night from an automobile trip coverln
eighteen counties in southern Nebra
ka , endorses the report of D. Rees tin
oil roads for cities are not a success.
"I found in one south Nebraska tow
that the streets had been oiled an (
the grease was such a nuisance in b
Us ing tracked Into the houses that tl
streets were later covered with hay '
Us Mr. Blakeman says. Incidentally M
Blakeman declares the crops arour
on Norfolk are by far the best to be foun
In the state.
D. Rees wishes to correct the stat
meat that It waa not Everett , Wasl
In which the oiled streets were com
plained of. It was in n suburb near
Everett Burlington , Mr. Rees thinks j
that the streets were ollod. He also
says that throughout Oregon and Cal
ifornia , wheiover streets In towns or
cities were oiled , he found universal
objection to them on account of the
grease tracked Into the houses.
Says Try It.
Norfolk , Aug. 12. Editor News :
Oiling of streets In cities may he a
nuisance , but why not give It a trial ?
The expense is small , not to exceed
eight cents per lineal foot thirty-six
feet In width. Now , in my opinion , if
oiling streets should prove to bo as
bad a nuisance as stated in yesterday's
News , it would certainly hasten paving
more speedily than anything else that
could.be done.
Respectfully ,
John Koenlgstein.

Hay Coming Out.
West Point , Neb. , Aug. 14. Special
to The News : Another heavy downpour -
pour of rain on Saturday morning ,
during which nearly two inches of

last lingering doubt of the failure of
{ he corn crop of Cuming county. Corn
shows at this time absolutely no trace
of the trying weather it has been
through. The ears are filling rapidly
and the stalks appear to have taken a
new lease of life. Pastures are im
proving rapidly , the injury done by
the prolonged dry weather being only
temporary , no permanent damage being
ing apparent. The second crop of hay
will be much larger than the first. Po
tatoes are recovering their lost ground

Husband Dances ; Bride Looks On.
Springfield , Mass. , Aug. 14. A hon
eymoon of automobile rides , sightsee
ing and dancing In pleasure patka is
being passed In tills city by Mr. and
Mrs. John Edward Paul Geraghty ,
who eloped from Newport last Wed
nesday. The romance of the young
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Amos Tuck
French of Tuxedo and Newport and
the Newport chauffeur lias attracted
much attention from the residents of
this city , and already the young cou
ple have made many friends.
Part of the time the bride spent In
inlying now clothes and In riding
bout the city and its suburbs In a
axlcab , sightseeing. The couple took
trip to Mountain park , a nearby
tonsure resort. Mrs. Geraghty , who
ranted to dance , was unable to do so
ocause of an Injured foot , but allow-
d the groom to enjoy himself , to he
anced five times.
Neither of the young people appear
0 bo worrying about the future.
Geraghty consulted lawyers hero
.ml . was told that there was no dan-
or of the French family charging him
vlth abduction. Mrs. Geraghty ad-
lilted thai she had told the minister
vho married them In Central Village ,
Conn. , thai she was 21 years old. Tills ,
1 Is asserted , relieves the groom of
he liability of arrest.
No definite plans for the future
lave been formulated by the couple ,
hey said that they expected to re-
naln in the home of Geraghly'a cou-
in , Mrs. Joseph Harris , for about two
.voeks . , and then they may return to
Newport and engage a cottage.
No word has yet been received dl
reclly from Mrs. Geraghty's family
and it was said none was expected.
The young husband Is keeping In
ouch through friends with affairs in
Newport. Some of those friends , . It
, vas learned from Geraghty , had ad
vised him that his frotlier-in-law and
another young man , a friend of the
jride's family , had expressed displeas-
.ire with the match and had intiraaled
that there may be trouble.
Geraghty , who is six feet tall , broad-
shouldered and athlelic , did nol appear
worried over the prospect.
"Let them start something , " he said ,
'I can take care of myself. "

groom , John Geraghty , applied to the

in danger of bodily injury , and his
wife was prostrated. The police dii

retains its title as champion of the
Rosebud country , although Friday it
had the fastest and hardest game of
the season thus far. Fresh from a
series of almost unbroken victories ,
the Dlxon team came to Burke to take
' the scalps of the local boys , but after
a very snappy contesl the game ended
with a score of 4 to 1 for Burke. Ed
die Miller was the center for the
locals and had the visitors at his mer
cy all the time , while Sully pitched
nearly as peed a game for Dixon. The
Dixon team is by far the strongest ag
gregation that Burke has had 'to con
tend with this year. There was much
hitting , but very few safe ones. Brot-
sky , Burke's fast shortstop , got a homo
run , but after he had landed on the
plate the umpire called him out for
cutting second. Considerable money
was wagered on the game , as the vis
itors were full of confidence.

Dixon by taking Saturday's game by
a score of 4 to 1 In one of the fast
est games ever played In the Rosebud
