50 farmers from those present
who will be sent on the ex=
cursion. 1t is absolutely neces=

Chautauqua grounds next Mon
day.
Next Monday will be Farmers

excellent program for that day

dent j. j. Hill would be present
and address the farmers on

The following Pierre special of Janu-

the governorship contest question:
''The contest over the goyernorship
was finally abandoned this morning
after conference of the Republican
leaders. For several days the papers
have been ready to serve and the lead
ers have been discussing ways and
means. The best authorities held that
it would take from four months to u
year to reach ii final decision in the
matter and, that the cost would reach
from five to ten thousand dollars The
difficulty of raising this sum is the
chief reason for the abandonment.
Another reason is that by the time the
contest would be decided all the politi-
cal value of the office would be gone.
All OF the attorneys consulted agreed
that the suit would eventually win, but
the managers could not figure out a
scheme to raise the necessary means"

There have been several instances in
the state wherein considerable expense
was incurred in court cases by counties
to which unorganized counties were at
tached for judicial purposes. Fall Riv.
or county, for instance, in September,
1897, had the trial of John Rondo,
charged with the murder of Tibbitts.
The persons resided in Shannon coun-
ty, which is attached to Fall River for
judicial purposes. Much expense was
incurred by the trial, a part of which,
about 5000, was at first paid by this
county, but subsequently County Au-
ditor Stanley refused to sign the war
rants for the expense, claiming that
such expense should be borne by the
state. The amount remaining unpaid
amounted to about 5000, which was
owing to sheriff, clerk of court, and
other officers, witnesses, etc. The mat
ter has been pending ever since. the
state auditor contending that while he
believed that it was justly an expense
that should be borne by the state,
there was no fund upon which he
could properly draw warrants. The
matter has now, however, been finally
and fully decided by the state supreme
court-not in this case particularly,
but in similar ones brought by other
counties, defining the liability of the
state in court cases from unorganized
counties. In one case, Lyman county
VS.. the state, in the Phelps murder
trial, the county is given judgment
for s5,232 against the state as costs of
the suit. In the other James Morgan,
sheriff of Brule county, is given iudg-
ment of 6226 for official work per-
formed in the unorganized counties at.
tached to Brule for judicial purposes.
1t will now probably be necessary for
the legislature to mike an appropria-
tion to cover the Indebtedness due our
county and its officers in the Rondo
case. The supreme court having de-
cided the question, the legislature must
make the appropriation or another
judgment will certainly be obtained
by those interested.
