For Twenty Years.


Springfield Times: The special term
of the district court for this county, held
at Bon Homme Saturday done it's work
swiftly and surely. It was called for the
purpose of d:eposing Of the case of
Malonik, young Bohemian charged
With the heinous crime Of rape. The
court met Saturday morning and the
grand jury was duly impanelled. They
speedily brought in an indictment
against the prisoner for rape. The
culprit, knowing nothing was to be
gained by having trial, plead
guilty and was sentenced by
Chief Justice Edgerton TO imprisonment
for twenty years in the territorial
penitentiary at Sioux Falls.
Considering the enormity of the crime,
the sentence 10 none too severe. Judge
Edgerton in conversation with some
gentlemen after court adjourned, said
he knew of no other way to protect our
homes from the assaults of such brutes
than to give them the full penalty Of
the law, and in this the Judge is heartily
endorsed by everybody. The crime was
committed near Scotland, on a young
married woman who was first beaten on
the head with hatehet and afterwards
outraged, and for blackness is equal to
any ever reported. It is a lenient law
that allows the perpetrators of euch
crimes to escape with even their miser-
BILE lives.

The house committee on public lands
is decidedly in favor of the repeal of the
timber culture and pre.emption laws.
In its report on the bill repeating these
provisions, the committee says:
Under the pre.emption, homestead and
timber culture laws, as they now stand,
a person may become the owner of 480
acres of the public domain. 160 acres
under each. This is too large an amount
of land for any person to acquire in this
manner. The policy of the government
should be to furnish as many of it's citi-
zens with comfortable homes as long in
the future as possible, and t16O acres is
sufficient for this purpose. By giving
this amount 1t would not be many years
until the public domain would be taken
up. The pre-emptlon law was passed in
lS4l, the homestead law in 1862, and the
timber culture act in 1873. When the
homestead act was enacted the pre-
emption law should have been repealed.
The timber culture law should never
have been passed. We have therefore
provided for the repeal of the pre.emp-
tion and timber culture acts and amend
ment of the homestead law.

slightest tendency towards disruption.
