A Change OF Venue.

Judge J. B. Garland, who was a lew
weeks ago appointed special United
States district attorney for the pro-
secution of the big timber claims
against the Homestake Mining Com.
psny, has moved the dismissal OF the
case, already begun in the Black Hills
district. The suit is for something
like 500, 600, claimed by the United
States government for timber taken
by the Homestake and appropriated
to the company's use. 1t is under
stood that Judge Garland will at once
Tecommence the action in the Sioux
Falls District. Lawyers in the eastern
part OF the state dislike very much to
try a case against the Romestake in
the Black Hills, and it is thought likely
that the lev complaint will be fled in
Sioux Falls.
