Sioux Falls diapateh, 10: An exciting
scsne occurred in the county court this
morning. ID. q. Powers, m attorney Of
this city, appeared In behalf of the Wild
ow Of Policeman Dave Coleman, who
died few days ago, TO contest his will
which left his farms TO Alderman MUIR
ray. The first thing be did was to
insult Judge Parliman. The Judge gave
Powers scoring and then wentintb am
other room TO prevent his making the
affair stronger by throwing the attorney
out OF the court room. Powers apolo-
gised, but 1t was not accepted
Aspecial meeting of the CITY council

tance.
J A. McGovern, pop deputy sheriff OF
Lake county, in lengthy article in the
Madison Independent, distorts recent
editorial contained in THE DAILY
LEADER and then proceeds to heave the
veEnacular OF the pop party at TIE
DAnY LEADER with perfect abandon.
Sample: "Now, il takes whole lot of
gall to make the last statement" aany-
one who can look over the history OF the
republican party and then say il is fit
party TO rule the nation, can say any
thing and need not be in fear OF getting
choked." Then follows proposition TO
give The DAILY LEADER $5 s'to prove"
etc. "Come and get the money or come
of the perch" James reminds us OF
the young fellow who wants to be
tough" The young fellow perhaps
never saw a Texas steer, but he gets @
leather belt around his hat aud tells
about round ups, shooting lights ont,
etc, In the language OF the cowboy.
So with Deputy Sheriff McGovern. He
never was within hundred miles OF
Gov. Waite, but be imagines blood will
Aow over bis bride reins at any moment.
Advice: James, your Independent arti-
Gle squelched US. We give up. But.
James, don't get into the newspapers
again for the present. You are only a
little pop; wait until you get to be a
great big populist and then you can wear
a bloody bride in Gov Waite's best
team. Your money proposition dazzles
us; you're in public office; we're only
private citizen.
