INTERESTING DECISIONS.


Two Rulings by the Interior Depart
ment Affecting Land In South Da-
kota.
Assistant Secretary Chandler to-day gave
an opinion on review of Frank Aldrichs
appeal from an order suspending his entry
on account of excess of acreage It is OF
interest, as the tract Of land involved is now
plated and has become Forest City, S. D.,
once the county seat Of Potter county The
entry was made before it was. surveyed and
the tract claimed was 1870 acres. Ahidavits
from leading citizens are to the effect that
if any part of the entry is Cancelled the
buildings of the town will have to be
moved and it will change the business
streets and business buildings of the
town. The secretary rules that excep-
tons may be made to the rule
that homestead entries for parts
of different quarter sections must APP
proximate when valuable improvem ents
would be disturbed, and he allows this to
come in as an exception. A technical err
ror requires Aldrich to give new notice of
proof and if no protest is filed the former
proof will be sufficient. Assistant Secretary
Chandler to-day affirmed land office de-
cision from Mitchell, S. d., which cancelled
the entry of Katie Lewis, nee Albert. The
case is a peculiar one, though there have
been others like it. Katie Alberts' claim
was for the southeast quarter of section 81
township 106, range 81 in the Mitchell dis
trict Joseph W. Lewis made homestead
entry of an adjoining quarter section. They
were married afterward and, building a
house on the dividing line, they attempted
to secure the two homesteads. The secre-
tarY affirnls the ruling that the residence Of
the woman was in tact on the land claimed
by her husband.

case was appealed. Lloyd was the Repub-,
lican and Sullivan the Demo cratic candi-
date for sheriff in Silver Bow county at the
last election. The result hinged upon pre-
cinct 81, the notorious tunnel precinct.
Without its vote Lloyd was elected; with it
Sullivan. The clerk of the county, who
was Dem crat, in defiance of the law, is
sued certificate Of election to Sulli-
van. After precinct "a had been
thrown out by the canyassing board
Lloyd held on to the office, he being the
previous incumbent Sullivan brought suit
Tor its possession before District Judge
Mediation, who was the defeated Dem
ocratic candidate for district Judge. but
who, after resigning, as did the Republican
candidate, to avoid troubleof contesting the
election, was reappointed to the position
by our Democratic governor, Toole The
Democratic judge, Mediation, decided for
the Democratic contestant and issued a
decree installing Sullivan in the office of
sheriff Lloyd Immediately gave up the
office, but appealed the case to the supreme
court. who to-day decided in his favor.
The decision reverses McHatton's partisan
decision in every particular, and goes into
the case thoroughly. The case hinges on
the question of fraud at precinct 81
OF which the opinion, delivered by Chic
Justice Blake, says.

GOOD AFTERNOON. LOO WING.
The Loo Wing who looked like high
binder, or man in the last and worst
stages of matrimony, had vanished. In
his place was trim Chinaman with
perfumed pigtail curled about his head;
his scalp had been shaved and polished
to faint sky-blue hue. 1t was almost
poem. 1t babbled of sunny violets and
pale-hued forget-me-nots. Loo Wing
wore long, SILK blouse, lowered gor-
geously; yellow silk smalls were wrap
ped round his Oriental legs; his feet
were incased in blue silk shoes with soIes
Of celestial whiteness. His face was
wreathed in smile blander than new
butter
"Plltty day" he remarked casually.
WillPye mally me?'
Whatp exclaimed the evangelical
maiden in the grass green frock.
Mally me, please" Mr.. Loo Wing re-
peated pleasantly, but with no discount
eous emphasis.
The young lady was equal to the emer-
gency. Somehow or other young ladies
usually are equal to emergencies Of this
sort.

A BROKEN HEART,
Grief Causes the Sudden Death OF
an EStrang ed Wife.

an Estranged Wife.
New YORK, Specialists Florence R.
Masterson, wife of ex-,Judge Murat Master
son of Prescott Ariz, tho man whose
sho ting affair in Alice Hopkinson's fiat
recently brought him into notoriety, died
suddenly to-day at the Grand Union hotel,
this city. She was 3s years old-much
younger than her husband There had been an
arrangement between them for some
months, but when Mrs. Masterson heard of
the shooting affair she started East in the
hope Of effecting reconciliation with her
husband, and also for the purpose seeing
again her fourteen-year-old son, who was
with his father On arrival she wrote Mr.
Masterson requesting an interview. There
was no response, and she wrote again,
with the same result. Though
her health had always been good,
the excitement and grief drove
her into a condition of nervous prostration
The body was removed to an undertaker's
establishment, and when the reporter called
there this evening he found Judge Master
son sitting with bowed head beside the
casket containing the body. He seemed
overcome by his emotions, and would not
utter word to any one. Coroner Jenkins
will make an autopsy tomorrow. He says
there is no doubt that it is case of broken
heart if here ever was one.

appears in person nowadays. Even
spooks do.
Loo Wing wore flowing robes of but.
terfy hue. When his young teacher
came into the drawing-r room he drew
from his blouse a wax taper and stood it
on the table. Then he lit it,
"Mally me, please?" he asked.
John Chinaman smiled and looked at
the taper
..Mally me, pleasey' he repeated.
''Candle blum out len Mclean gel be

The brown eyed, gimp wasted young
lady jumped to her feet and blew out
the candle. The matrimonial project
went out in smoke. Loo Wing sighed,
bowed, sighed again, and vanished.

asked.

The interviewer baited his hook with
another question.

But it can be done?''
Beyond doubt

ooh, yes. If Cinnamon becomes a
Christian once he is usually sure in the
faith. But they are very skeptical peo-
pie Even when they believe they don t
believe. They are like the pilgrim of

''But in all your three years expert.

"Oh, yes" said the heroine of the
candle and the grass green frock, q
