A South Dakota Murderer Repriev-
ed.

4 telegram was received by Sheriff
Richardson of De Smet Just prior to the
expected hanging, from Governor Shell
don, in which the governor grants MUIR
derer Thompson u temporary reprieve
OF fifteen days in order to give his attor-
neys an opportunity to make another
motion for a new trial. A petition was
sent from DeSmet signed by a number OF
ladies asking for the reprieve. There
we're also affidivits OF newly discovered
evidence, but what that evidence IA be
is a mystery, as everything in connec-
ton with the crime was thoroughly
gone over at the trial.
Every arrangement had been made to
carry the execution into effect. The
scaffold was erected and q hangman
procured. The town was thronged
with people, including many sheriffs, and
considerable dissatisfaction a express
ed at the action OF the governor at so
late a date, rs the feeling generally pre-
vailed that the accused has had the bene-
fit Of every possible doubt as TO his
guilt.
All preparations had been made and
the people were electrified by the mes
u Q over the wires from the governor
granting n reprieve, Thompson received
the news with every manifestation of
Joy. His daughter arrived the day be-
fore the reprieve from Chicago to receive
the remains.
Many expressions of dissatisfaction are
heard on account OF the additional
expense all this entails upon the county.
The rcprieye was granted on the grounds
OF evidence casting doubt upon Thomp-
sons sanity.

bill providing for the establishment of 100
arc lights 10 take the place OF incandes-
cent lights, in accordance with the new
plan upon which he. Stocks, earle and Del
egate Cook have been working for some
time. Dr.. Jordan asked them to add one
for Grant street and b street, where there
are three railroad tracks within half a
block. He also wanted one az Rochester
avenue. Action was deferred.
House of delegates bill providing for the
extension Of Kenney street was read and
its passage urged by Judge Langley and
Ii. b. slauson, property owners along the
proposed street. 1t was referred TO q CON-
mittee.
The sum of SOS was appropriated to pay
ex-Judge Roger s. Greene for professional
services rendered the finance committee.
DIR. Jordan opposed The ordinance on the
ground that the committee was unauthor-
lied TO make the expenditure, and,
further. that the rate of $50 per day was
excessive. The bill was passed.
As q means OF encouraging the establish
ing OF small industries. Joseph o'Leary
urged in communication that the city
adopt some rule to furnish water at low
rates for the running OF motors to furnish
the power required. The matter was
referred to Messrs. Jordan and Carrie
who explained that there WAS no ordi-
nance in vogue TO warrant such rule.
1t was then given into the care of the
water committee.
Comptroller Carson reported that the
bonds for the improvement of Kilbourne
avenue and George street had not been
sold after having been advertised.
An ordinance was passed returning 20
the salary fund about $50 issued for labor.
1t Is made mp of small amounts which
have never been called for.

OF the city property valuation. as prepared
by the county assessor and which has al
ready been published, was read and re.
ferred to the finance committee.
A Mr.. Tate offered tests Of bogus butter
