SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., April s6.-Tht
question as to whether or not tht
women were entitled to vote at the
last school election under the law
passed by the recent legislature vii;
probablysbe settled in the supreme
court. Ex-senator A. B. Kittredge oI
this city and Speaker Lawson OF Aber.
deem have expressed the conviction
that women were not entitled to vote.
]. w. Jones, the attorney for the school
board here and tho city attorney have
both submitted opinions that the
women were entitled to vote. AS a
matter of fact they did vote in this
city, at Pierre and other places but not
at Aberdeen. Under the new law the
board is an entirely independent body
with power to make the tax levy AMI,
to call elections for vote upon ths
issue of school bonds. The city coun.
ell has no longer the veto power over
the acts Of the board. The legality
therefore OF the board is likely to be.
come at any time n very important
question and all concerned are anxious
to have it settled now and right. Al
the meeting of the retiring board last
night Judge John f. Garland was pres.
ent as legal adviser for the board and
expressed the opinion that the women
had right to vote and that the newly
elected board was qualified to sit.

at one time ssaggered as if about to

is not true that Wil.on has been
preaching since he was indicted. He
did, however, preach after the prelimi.
nary hearing. During his services he
would hold the bible above his head
and swear in solemn and dramatic
way that he was guilsless man. His
congregation would then cheer, clap
hands and rise to their feet to show
their confidence in and esteem for thei.

siding Elder Jordan has expressed his
confidence in the innocence of Wilson
and urged him to continue his preach

Queer Freaks Of State csoloyist sylvs,te,
Corby. Of Indiana.

Aof0y, OF INDIANA.
1IDIANAPoLIs, Ind, April 27.-The
state officers and other occupants Of
the state house have nearly made up
their minds to appeal to the authori.
ties for protection against State Geolo-
gist Sylvester s. Gorby. The state
geologist Is afflicted with insane at
tncks which lately have grown in fre-
quency and violence. Tuesday he was
the victim of the most serious attack of
which his friends have had knowled ge.
He came In on the train from South
port, and went direct to the state
house, where his dementia broke out
In violent and grotesque manifesto
tions. Under the dome of the
capitol he executed skirt dance
with all the gyrations of a premier
kicker in q variety show. The state
house attaches gathered to witness the
performance, and Gorby suddenly
Topped from burlesque TO tragedy,
chasing the spectators out OF the build
Ing and threatening them with death.
Iiorby then went to his room on the
second floor, saturated the carpet with
q can OF gasoline and went through his
pockets for match, but fortunately
was unable to find one. He broke one
OF the windows and was about to jump
out, when the state house employees
came and ovcrpowered him. He was
given ten grains of morphine, which
quieted his nerves, but failed to put
him to sleep. Ina former attack Gorby
threw heavy chair from the second
balcony to the floor below and threat
ened to shoot . reporter, but being
searched he was found to be unarmed.
The state officers have borne with
Gorby long time, but it is feared that
in one OF his mad moods his IN mia may
take q murderous turn.

An Absorbing viii Contest,

SIOUX FALLS, April 25.-The little
town of Parker. near here, is all torn
up over the contest Of the will Of the
late Joseph j. Moore. MIR. Moore died
February &c last, leaving the whole of
his estate worth $4,000, to his neice,
Miss Nettie G. Moore. Eber and Elwood
Moore, brothers of the dead man, have
contested the will on the ground that
Nettie used undue influence over their
brother and that in this way she se-
cured atl his property. G. p. Bates, of
Sioux Falls, represents the contestants
and w. Y. Quigly, of Parker, the heir
ess The case has been heard by the
probate judge, but the decision has been
held up pending the submission of
written arguments.
The girl, who by the terms of the
will inherits all the property. SO the
evidence shows, has been cultivating
her uncle for several years. Moore was
a well known and respectable farmer
and his relations with Ills ncice
caused much talk in Parker. For.
period of two months one wit
ness testified that Moore and his
neice occupied one room which
contained two beds. When renon-
strated with by Mrs. Mott who lived at
the house. the girl is quoted as hlving
said that she proposed to get all of her
uncle's property. The contention of
the contestants is that Miss Moore used
improper influences over her uncle and
at the time the will was made Mr.
Moore was not in sound mental condi-

any message which might be travelling

was used is in dispute, but such q
