Has Real Estate to Bum.

John Wilson, north of Miller,
South Dakota, has solved the prob
lem of cheap fuel for himself and
neighbors. He hauls soil from the

cattle corral during the summer, and
after it is thoroughly tramped and be-

SPECIAL SESSION CASE
Argued in the Supreme Court-Deeis-
ion Expected Next Week.

The Farrelly special session case was
argued before the supreme court ye5ter-
day afternoon. 1t is similar to the suit
which has just been decided in the dis
trict court by Judge Hazen, the issues
being exactly the same, SO that the case
was to great extent a re-trial of that
case. Senator Hugh Farrelly is the
plaintiff in the case and applies for a
writ of mandamus to compel Auditor
Cole to audit special session warrants.
G. G. Clemens, ex-Lieutenant Govern
or Harvey and Otis Hungate were the
attorneys for the plaintiff, but Mr.
Clemens made the only argument for
the plaintiff. Attorney General GODDARD
was assisted in defending Mr.. Cole and
in trying to prove that the special ses-
sion was invalid by D. r. Hite, who
also assisted him in the district court,
and by Judge Horton Judge Horton
voluntarily offered his services to Mr..
GODDARD and they were accepted
The attorneys are allowed until next
Tuesday to submit briefs in the case,
and it is likely a decision will be an
nounced by the latter part Of the week.
An opinion will be handed down about
the first of March.
Auditor Cole is of the opinion that
the session was valid. but he has been
compelled to accept the opinion of At
torney General GODDARD, as the legal adj
wiser of the state officers.
