Adultery IN pAkoTA.
No Law on the statute Boals for the Pun
tshment or the Crime.


tshment of the Crime.
PLISNSroS. April Is
AZ the term of circuit court recently held
in Plankinton there were two indictments
found by the grand jury charging Richard
G.. Kelly with the crime OF adultery. COM
mitted IN May, 1889. To these indict-
ments Keliy's attorneys demurred, on the
grounds that they were defective in form
and that there is no Law existing in South
Dakota under which the defendant could
be punished for the alleged crime. Af.er
full and able argument the court, Judge
Haney presiding, sustained the demurrer.
His reasons were substantially as follows:
The penal code Of Dakota territory,
adopted in 1887, defined the crime of sdul-
terry and provided the punishment there
for. March 3, 1887, the congress Of the
United States enacted Law defining the
crime and providing different punishment.
The law of congress was especially intended
for the territory of Utah. but applied TO all
the then territories. The conrt held that
this law OF congress repealed the territorial
statute upon the subjsct of adultery, and
that from March 8, 1887. until the admis-
sion of South. Dakota, there was no iaw
providing punishment for the crime except
the law of congress which became and was
part Of the organic law OF the territory
during the time from March 8, 1857, until
Nov. 2, 1889. BY the terms Of the
omnibus bill, only the laws In force at the
time OF the admission OF The state made by
the territorial Legislature continued in
force, and IS congress could not legisIaie
ON the subject within a state, the Law Of
congress ceased 20 exist and therefore
there II to-day no law In force In this state
under which any person can be punished
for the crime Of adultery.
The judge stated tnat he had been re-
luctantly forced 10 this conclusion by what
seemed 10 be the irresistible logic Of the
law; that he had endeavored faithfully 60
avoid this conclusion In a matter OF such
importance TO the public but after the
most careful consideration believed it to
be bis duty to declare the law 20 be MS he
found 1t and that the remedy must be with
the Legislature. The alleged defects Of
the form OF the indictment were not passed
upon.

SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, April rs.
The greatest excitement prevails in
aShantytown,. a section OF Spokane Falls.
Wash, so denominated from the fact that
II is literally covered with the shecks of
squatters. For many months this land has
been held By the squatters, pending some
action by the secretary OF the interior con-
cerniug the title of the land. which has
been claimed BY the Northern Pacific ~ q
portion Of one of their odd sections under
their land grant. Twenty. Ave years ago an
Indian named Enoch Silliquong lived on
the land and made some improvements.
II lay within the limits Of one grant
to the Northern Pacific railway. and when
the map of definite location was fled
Enoeh was still living there. lie remained
until 1888, when he was induced Co sell his
rights and improvement TO the Northern
Pacific. According to recent decisions Of
the interior department it was hoped that
this land would be made to revert back to
the government. Recently q dispatch
from Washington was published in which
il was stated that Secretary Noble had or
dered an investigation aud indicating hts
hearing against the alleged rights of the
railroad company. This so encouraged
the squatters that they have been jumping
other portions OF the property in question,
much OF which has been sold sew

some good business property. Lively
times are looked for, rs the property own
ers do not relish 1.-THE idea Of having their

DETROIT. April ~.
Edwin Booth undoubtedly remembers
that just twenty-five years ago his roman
tic brother assumed the role or assassin
and startled the ciyilizsd world. n he bad
forgotten IL the horrible affair has been
foreibiy brought to his mind by Thomas
NJ. Casey, of Montreal. who chanced 90 be
in Detroit on business. Casey saw she
Booth bill hoaraa, and learning that Easin
was a brother on the ill- starred John
Wilkes Booth. he called upon the TRACE
dian and told him this story: In April,
1865, dozen trunks or more were received
al Montreal, all marked II. w. b., New
Providence. NJ, c." These trunks we're
unaccompanied by any peraon- a. isast.
by any person who made hinlself
known--but there was some ftAe-
masonry that proved effective In havipg
the baggage shipped. and the matter was
soon forgotten. The boat upon which il
was placed was lost on the lake, and Iazer
several Of the trunks were recovered end
taken TO Montreal, where they were Mold
and subsequently, sold. The purchaser
opened them in the presence of Casey,
who as auntioneer had sold them, and thsiI
contents were almost exclusively garments
that would be IN daily use by aH actor.
This suggested 20 Mr.. Casey that the II.
w. ID. was none other than John Wilkes
Booth, the assassin, and that IL had been
his purpose TO fee to the Bernudas, and
thence.sail 10 some foreign country. Casey,
however, did not reveal his suspicious,
as he thought he might be subjected
to ridicule, inasmuch az there were so
many clues to the murderer II the time of
the assassination. Edwin Booth plainly
showed his disinciination TO talk of the
tragedy which has cast so deep gloom
over his life, but be eonfrmed Dir. Casey's
suspicious that the trunks were the prop
erty Of his unfortunate brother, though
how they had got TO Montreal or what
friends were aiding him then The iragsdian
did moi undertake to say. Mr.. Booth ac-
corded on interview to Casey with great
reluctance. and whom IL was over his face
plainly indicated that The OIL wound had
been reorened and the old suffering had
returned, possibly with an aaasa r@as -
view OF the fact that these April days finish
the quarter century passed since his
brother committed the greatest crime OF
the century.

A special 10 the Louisville Times from

A deadly fight occurred seventeen miles

tween . detail Of state troops. consisting
OF sixteen privaies, and about thirty
outlaws, who were fortified in
an old barn. Five of the soldiers were
wounded. II Ia not known how many Of

began. The troops have the barn sur
rounded and II is impossible for those ON
the inside 20 make their escape
and the only two roads which
lead from the place OF action are cut of BY
pickess, who are instructed to allow no one
to pass toward the town, as II was thought
best TO keep the news of the conflict from
the people about here until after reinforce
ments had reached the place. Yesterday
afternoon Capt. Gailher, who In the COM
manding officer, was informed that the
body OF iawless men, some Of whom had
been indicted for various offenses, were
fortified against the law IL ths above
mentioned locality, and had refused
10 surrender 10 the civil authorities. he
was ASKED for detail Of his men to go ont
with some civil officers for the purpose of
arrekting them and he 1t once sent sixteen
privatss in charge Of sergt. Pulliare and
Corp. Blantin. They expected to find the
men ahouse near the barn, but instead were
fred upon from the barn. The attack
was not looked for as that point and came
so unexpectedly that II demoralized the
soldiers for minute or two, but they soon
rallied and surrounded the barn and began
firing into IL from every direction, when Il
was thought best 10 cease action and hold
the. fort until relnforeements arrived
with more ammunition. IL is be-
lisyed that severe fight viii
take place as soon as additional troops
reach the place, for the outlaws are veil
armed with Winchester rides and swear
that they will not surrender, and the sol
diers are determined and want revenge for
those Who have been shot down. No fur
