at least evident that Pennington count.
means to gobble up about two miles Of
our northern territory. The desire ia
do SO has been Il growing one with them
for some time past. Their first move in
that direction was to indict John Sir.itei
of Hayward for selling liquor withoui
paying IA license to Pennington county
In his charge to the grand jury oven
there, Judge Moody minated that a
decision could be arrived at by the
courts if criminal were indicted, whose
otiense was committed on the debatabie
ground, he at the same time saying that
the matter would have to be decided
from the best evidence obtainab!e. For
ourselves we have little doubt that the
best evidence obtainable will be the
sworn testimony Of the surveyor who
ran that line. That man, James Bland
ing, m.de a contract with the board oi
county commissioners of Custer county
in 1877 to survey the line, and his
affidavit that he did so according to con-
tract is o in Rapid City vt the court.
Our Cliairmrn, Mr.. Chas. trary, having
| gone there with it. On the other hand
il is supposed here that a surveyor by
the name ofScott will testify, that some
here on that line he has taken an xep-
seryation, and that in his opinion the
line lays too FAR north, in fact about two
miles north of the line designated in
the bill of 1877, bounding Custer county
on the north by IA line laying parable! to
and ten miles south of 44th parallel Of
north latitude.
Now the question is inst this, which
will the Judge think i, the best eyidence
obtainable. Whether the line is actual
~ right or wrong, il looks to lis as
though Banding was the best, and we
believe that the judge will 80 decide.
As il vii! be with him simply ques-
ton OF jurisdiction he will rule on the
point himself, and no Rapid City jlry
will decide it.. fthat were the ca,c We
might we'll expect, that Custer City it,
~eif won'd be claimed AZ within the elias
tic boundaries of Pennington conlity.
Since writing the above Commissioner
frary has returned and informs us that
Strater's case has been carried ovcr to
the next term of court. and that The line
as established hv former commissioners
of both counties will be adhered to.
