estate. To this question the attorneys
OF Mrs. Daniels interposed the
plea that there was divorce, but
that IL had been obtained through fraud
and was Deing attacked In another court,
and what they wanted was To have the
probate OF the will postponed for thirty
days In order TO give them time TO have
that question decided. Judge Miller la
rendering his decision, said that as there
was and had been divorce between the
parties the fact was sufficient to warrant
him In ruling against the claim OF Mrs.
Daniels, because she might never sue

vorce had been obtained through fraud.
1t was sufficient now that there was
final decree OF divorce between them,
and To stop the probate OF the will now

PIERRE, March 5.--Melville's town
ship irrigation bill has passed both
houses and all amendments have been
concurred In. Gov. Meliettc has signIfed
his entire approval of the BILL so that
there Is little doubs but II will become
q law as it stands. The bill IL very care
fully drawn by. Senator Melville, of
Beadle county--the center Of the present
srtesian agitation-and has met the
haartiest approval OF all the members of
both houses. From interviews taken
with them the concensus Of opinion
was that the best way to promote irriga-
tion was by the township system. All
say that the townships OF their counties
have no trouble In disposing of their
school bonds, so there Is no reason why
these irrigation bonds should not be
easily disposed of, as they are more care
fully guarded to make them legal and
binding In every respect The bffi will
be the only irrigation legislation this
session. and II Is expected that II will
meet the entire demands OF the state.
The laws of California and other states,
where Artesian irrigation has been made
q success, have been overhauled and the
cream OF. them all, as best adapted To
the wants of this state, taken. 1t will
be noticed that the emergency clause is at
tached, and the measure will become law
as soon as the governors signature Is at
tached- This was done for the reason,
IS claimed by members, that In several
parts OF the state the people are await
Ing for such a law to commence opera
tions. 1t Is confidently expected that
this law will give artesian Irrigation
new and lasting impetus In the state.
