to open fire upon the clerk. Mrs.
stephens threw herself in front Of Will

enabled to shot her husband, which he
did, killing him.
Wilkerson's trial and conviction

SOUTH DAKOTA NEWS.
The Sioux Falls Mass Meeting.

SIOUX FALLS, $. d., July 30.--The
mass meeting held here for the
discussion of the best way TO han
die enforcement in this city was we'll
attended by representatives of both
sides and though no appreciable good
was done and no conclusion was
reached an opportunity was given sew
eral people TO relieve themselves.
Judge A. j. Edgerton, Judge of the
United States district court, created q
sensation by declaring that Sioux Falls
was not the whole Of South Dakota
and that if the people who were
opposed to enforcement did not stop
prosecuting r. Ii. Meredith because of
his position on this question they
would wake up some morning 20 find
out that the people Of the state had
made him governor. Some have taken
this as u hint that Meredith is being
groomed as the -Pettigrew candi-
date for governor. Judge Edgerton in
his speech also took occasion to score
Senator P~ettigrew, who made a speech
before his election to the senate de-
claring' that If elected he would at once
introduce a bill calling for national
prohibition. The judge said that the
city had reached a terrible state of
affairs when $50 business men would
sign a petition to the states attorney
asking him not TO do his duty.
Prof. Walsh, who has been at the
head Of the movement, said be could
not be frightened or driven and init
mated that he meant business. He said
that the saloon power had its root in
the municipal government and it's top
branches in the United States senate.
Il. Il. Meredith declared that he was
in the fight because he thought il was
right and proposed to stay. If he had
to walk out of town he would do SO
with a clear conscience.
Judge w. w. Brookings, exterior
ial judge and a former prohibitiopist,
o the ground that the law could not
be enforced; that efforts had been
made for years; that these efforts had
been unsuccessful and that IL was now
full time to stop. He said he signed
the petition to Mr.. Bailey because he
thought 1t was foolish TO keep on with
expensive prosecutions, which failed to
bring results.
