U. S. Commissioner Clow has found the week just passed a busy one for his office. Monday started off briskly, and thirteen claimants appeared with their witnesses to offer testimony. Mr. Clow realized that the hoodoo thirteen was getting in its work when thirteen claimants again ap peared on Tuesday, but it was not until a third thirteen appeared on Wednesday that he realized how firm a grip the ancient hoodoo had on the settlers of this locality. On Thursday the spell was broken only ten claimants appearing. It is a rather remarkable coincidence that just thirteen proofs should have been taken each day for three successive days. So remarkable, in fact, that it is believed that the clerks in the land offices have been collaborating to the discomfiture of superstitious homesteaders. On a previous day eleven proofs were submitted, making the total larger tor October than any previous mopth. School Commences After a delay of several weeks, waiting for the arrival of desks and other furniture, the Phiiip school commenced Monday.

In Winter Quarters. Ryan brothers, who did a large amount of the construction work along the Northwestern line w est of this place, have shipped their outfit to Kadoka from Dickinson, N. D., where they have been work ing lately, and will go into winter quarters on their claims northeast of town. The Ryan family, when they came here to work, a year and a half ago, filed on six quart ers of land six miles from town, and as a result now have a fair sized ranch, most of it proved up. They will spend the winter here, and in the spring ship their outfit back to North Dakota and resume i work on the Milwaukee extension again. PHILIP, STANLEY COUNTY, S.

WILL Special Agent Here A special agent of the govern ment representing the department of the Interior casually dropped into our town Wednesday after noon and proceeded to look around a I lit in order to get his bearings, lie had done enough investigation in a neighboring state to feel sat isfied that he had himself located, bu! lie came here as a mere matter of form to check up his results. It will develop later on as one result of the agent's investigations that homesteaders in this country will learn that the-government, has ideas concerning what constitutes residence strangely at variance with their views on the subject. Anyway, Uncle Sam is doing a little investigating. Charged with Assault Lust Thursday Mrs. M. C. Bene dict tiled a complaint with Justice N. II. Wyckofl charging Joe Murphy with assault with a dead ly weapon. A warrant was issued and placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Frank Norman, who arrest ed Murphy at his home, near Now lin Monday afternoon. The latter gave bond for his appearance and the preliminary hearing was set for Thursday morning at 10 o'clock All the parties interested in the affair reside near Now lin. It is not easy to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the affair, but it appears that Mrs. M. C. Benedict and others were gath ering driftwood, when Murphy ap peared and started a controversy regarding the rights various parties had in the wood and the land where it was being collected. Presently he lired a couple of shots. Tins act lead to his arrest. But at the hearing the complaining witness failed to appear and Murphy was discharged. fliiwr-I nlM I II "Hiawatha." the First Number of Entertainment Course, Pavilion, Monday Evening, November lit? itufc TTZ-y isnm Farmers' Institute A farmers'1 institute will be heid hereon November 14.
