Rev. Mr.. Darling Goes Free
Rev. E. S. Darling need not come back
to South Dakota unless he wants to. That
was settled when Gov. Clough of Mlnne-
sofa refused to honor the requisition made
for the extradition of the preacher. The
warrant charged rape and there appeared
to be no evidence cOrroborative of the ac-
cusation made by Miss Failing. 1t is
nearly two years since the date of the al
legged crime, and that feature entered into
the arguments presented to Gov. Clough
in opposition to the demand made for the
body of Rev. Mr.. DAZZLING. +. A. Jaggard
presented the case to the governor. 1t was
referred to Attorney General Childs, who
promptly reported against the request, ana
the requisitlOn was denied without much
loss Of time.
A later dispatch says that the states
attorney of this state has made new start
in the case by going to Pierre for new
requisition papers, also is taking deposit
tons of people tending to show that Dar-
ling's attentions to Miss Failing covered
long period. Attorney Hawthorne of st.
Paul is looking after Darling's interests.

Judge A. }. Edgerton at that time directed
verdict for the city of Huron. which
virtually allowed it to repudiate the whole
issue of $6O, 900 of bonds. The court of ap-
peals reversed this decision and remanded
the cas-, for retrial. The second time the
bondholders secured verdict. Later an
application was made to the supreme court
OF the United States for writ of certlorarl
to the curcuit court of appeals to have the
latter court review the case. The writ has
just been denied, and the case is finally
settled against the city of Huron and in
favor of the bondholders.
