IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Happenings of the Week From
All Over the State.
INDIANS GIVE TO MISSIONS
More Than One Thousand Attend
Religious Convention on
Cheyenne Agency.
Harking back to the days when they
were engaged in warfnre wuh the
whites for the possession of theli
.land more than one thousand Indian
men and women closed a religious
convention of five days, held near La
Plant, on the Cheyenne Indian agency.
They were representatives of the Pres
byterian and Congregational churches
from agencies in the Northwest, notn
•My the Yankton, Santee and Pine
Ridge, where these denominations are
In a flourishing condition.
The meetings were conducted in a
missionary way and were in charge
of Rev. J. P, Williamson of Green
wood, who has seen more than thirty
years of service among the red men,
and Rev. A. 1* Riggs of Santee agency,
Rev. J. Johnson of Pine Ridge, Rev. C!
W. Reed of Standing Rock and Rev.
T.
IJ.
•ei
Riggs of Oahe.
The Indians make heavy contribu
tions for missionary work among their
own people and at the meeting the
Presbyterians donated a fund of J3,40t
and Cougregationaiists $2,100. This
money was raised largely by the In
dian women who served dinners on
election days and at big gatherings on
holidays. Then, too, the Indian wom
en went forth over the state to dis
pose of their beaded work. This mon
ey is given freely and they practice
much self-denial In order that they
can make their contributions.

PROBATE COURT OVERRULED
Judge McNulty Finds Martinson Not
Competent to Make Will.
In circuit court for Roberts county
at Slsseton, Judge McNulty overruled
the action of the probate court of the
county in ruling as valid the will of
the late John Martinson. Martinson
had 200 acres of valuable land and
about $10,000 worth of personal prop
erty. He left a will giving his mother
and Btepfather the use of the proper
ty during their lifetime, but directed
that upon their death the estate
should revert to the "Fattigkasaa af
Lillherrdals Forsamlong, Sverige," a
poor relief board of the parish of Lill
herrdals, Sweden, which cared foi
Martinson when he was a boy.
Martinson's mother, stepfather and
half-brother brought suit against the
executor, asking the court to set the
will aside on the ground that Martin
son was mentally incompetent to make
It. After hearing the evidence and
the arguments of attorneys Judge Mc
Nulty decided in favor of the conten
tion of the plaintiffs and set aside the
document.
Howard Bnbcock argued the motion
for a new trial for Jonah Star, one ol
the two Indians convicted of man
slaughter for the killing of Roland
Judish, seventeen years old. The mcv
tlon alleged many errors, but Judge
McNulty held that none of the allega
tlons was valid, except that of the In
sufficiency of "the evidence, and held
that the evidence was not sufficient tc
Justify the conviction of Star of man.
•laughter, though it may have been
sufficient to put him under suspicion
a«i the murderer of Judish. Thi court
thereupon granted the motion for a
new trial for Star. It is thought prob
able the case will be dropped.

ALASKANCLAIMS
So Called Cunningham Patents
Are Disallowed.
VALUED AT MANY MILLIONS
Oharge Frequently Made That Morgan
Guggenheim Syndicate Was Be
hind the Deal.
Washington, Sept. 14.—All tliir:
three so called Cunningham Alaska
coal land claims, involving alleged
fraudulent blanket patents, which con
tributed to the Baliinger-Plnchot con
troversy, have been disposed of final
ly by the interior department.
The appeals have been adversely de
cided and Secretary Fisher has direct
ed the immediate execution of the de
cision of Commissioner Dennett of the
general land office, who held the
claims were Improperly allowed and
the entries should be canceled. Sec
retary Fisher took this final action on
his second review of the cases.
No more of the real Cunningham
olalms are pending, though the inte
rior department is regularly passing
upon other Alaskan claims somewhat
similar to those of the Cunningham
group. Of a thousand or more such
800 already have bean disallowed, in
the final decision the name Cunning
ham figures but twice in the list of
the thirty-three patentees. J. G. Cun
ningham and Clarence Cunningham
appear and the other thirty-one are
under a variety of names.
The Cunningham claims had an ag
gregate area of 5,250 acres and their
value ran high into the millions. It
had been alleged that a Morgan-Gug
genheim syndicate owned the blanket
claims of the Cunninghams and their
associates.
With the controversy over the
claims came the dismissal from public
service of Chief Forester Gifford Pin
chot, Louis R. Glavis, a chief of the
Held division of the land ofllce, and
several minor officials.
