Black sued for IS, 900 damages for
alleged wrongful and malicious acts

pelling him from the home. Judge
MCGEE held that the Legislature has

that the legislature vii! be asked

state.

psr head Tor the cattle owned by
them. After the repeal Of the state
wolf bounty law It Is probable that
this plan will again b adopted.
Another question OF iinpo, lance
is the proposition to reconstruct the
present state judicial districts.
The plan contemplates the consolida-
tion Of tle two Black Hills districts
into one, aud increasing thu number
east of the Missouri river to eight,
making nine in all in place of eight,
as at present.
A committee appointed as the re-
suit Of Q meeting OF the Northern
South Dakota Stock Breeders as
ISOLATION is at Pierre in bshaif OF
proposed legislation favorable othe
st9.k interests. This committee
will cooperate with alike committee
from the Western South Dakota
Stockmen's association in securing
legislation that is deemed necessary.
Among the laws which the former
association favors is fence law,
which may be optional with town
ships or countias and under which,
where adopted by townships or coun.
ties, cattle may be permitted to run
at large from November until April
Of each year. Another measure fav.
ored is one to protect school and
state lands from prairie fires tis
urged that the state spends q con
siderable amount Of IN ,ney eac b
year in protecting these lands from
trespassers, but no precautions are
taken against prairie fis.es, which
it is asserted, do far more harm
than the cattle which Craze upon the
land. The idea is thateac town
ship should receive a certain pc,
cent Of the rents received by the
state from the the lease ofthe lands,
and this-fund should be3used in the
maintenance Of Hrebreaks around
the tracts. .3.5 s

TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
A Sensational Incident.

A sensational incident and one that
has aroused the greatest indignation
among local national guardsmen occur
red at the Hill City Methodist church,
near Chattanooga, last week. The
funeral of Private Hugh Ragon, late of
the United States infantry, formerly
of the Third Tennessee, and who died
in San Francisco a short time ago while
en- route home from the Philippines,
where he served for more than year,
occurred at the church, large detail
from Company i, Sixth regiment, n. G.
5. T., and from the local camp of the
veterans of the Spanish-American war,
the camp being present in full uniform.
Rev. J. Miles Carter, the pastor, in the
course of the funeral sermon denounced
the character of young Ragon, declar-
ing that "he was now in hell and his
life and character should be warning
to the soldiers who remain" At this
point of the service the soldier boys to
a man arose in their seats and left the
church in a body. The sermon created
great indignation, it being claimed that
the young man had been really very
exemplary. He had devoted Chris
tian mother who was present.
