DEADwooD, S. d., Aug. Is. Judge
Newlin, of Rapid City, sitting for Judge
Thomas in the injunction suit restrain
ing the f. E. & NJ. V. Railway from
taking possession of the eighty-foot
strip over the Burlington & Missouri
Railroad company's grounds in the city
limits of Deadwood, has sustained the
Injunction. His decision is based on
constitutional grounds that possession
cannot be taken until the question of
damage is determined by jury, and
that the word jury means common
law jury of twelve men. This decision
is the reverse of one by Judge Thomas
in case involving the same parties and
virtually the same property. If it is
good law railroad building into Dead
wood has received serious setback,
and railroad building in South Dakota is
surrounded by difficulties and so embar-
rassed that it will greatly retard the de-

Judge Rose CONSIDERS an Of1S1nal
Package Case.
Special to the Globe.
JAMESTOWN. N. D.. Aug. 15.-The
Barnes county original package case
came before Judge Rose yesterday. 1t
was submitted on briefs and was by the
Judge taken under consideration. II.
Glaspell, for the defense, raised the
point that that there is no state law
against the sale of liquor in original
packages. that the section of the state
state prohibition law relating thereto
was knocked out by the supreme court
decision, and that the sale of original
packages cannot be prevented until the
next legislature enacts law against
such sales. The defense holds that the
original package bill passed by congress
does not throw life into the dead sec
tions of the South Dakota law. but
merely confers Oh the states the right
in the future to enact laws to prevent
the sale of original packages.
