JUDGE M00RE's IMPEACHMENT

PIERRE, 8. D., Jan. 12.-(Special)-
A communication from Frank Steere, one
of the Republican members of the board
of charities and corrections defending
former Republican heads of state penal
institutions from charges made by Gov.
Lee in his farewell message called out
a protest from the few Populists of that
body on the question of making it a
part Of the senate record, but they
voted alone when the matter came to
settlement.
The principal bills introduced today
were to grant the governor power Of re-
moval of certain constitutional oil GERS;
to provide for a commission for COM
pilatfon Of the laws; and to Appropriate
$4,000 for a state exhibit at the Buffalo
Exposition.
State Treasurer Schamber has decided
to issue $4,000 of emergency warrants to
run one year with interest payable semi
annually and which will be placed with
the lowest interest bidder.
CHARGES AGAINST JUDGE MOORE
The talk of Impeachment proceedings
against Judge Joe Moore, Of Deadwood.
one Of the Populist nominees for con-
gress in the last campaign has been re-
vtved by the sending Of charges TO this
city. By those who have seen the charges
are in charge Of Representative Bene-
dict, of Custer, but 1t is very likely they
will never be presented The showing
made amounts to little from a. legal
standpoint. The charges are three in
number
First--That in the divorce of Ellis
vs. Ellis, Col. George, as attorney for
t tI defendant, asked the court to order
the payment Of an attorney fee of SIS
Instead of doing this, Moore dismissed
George from the suit, substituting another
attorney and allowed this attorney a fee
OF sc5.
second-That In Collins VS.. Man
helm, the judge during the trial passed a
slip of paper to PLAINTIFFS attorney con-
tanning tiI reference nee to a citation pertinent
the citation and the judge rendered a
decision for the plaintiff on this au-
thority. Collins the successful ntigant,
was partner of Moore.
In the case of Mrs. McDermott, iryoIv-
ing a big mining deal, are charges that
she called upon Moore at his Office and
asked him what It would take to get a
$780, Mrs. McDermOtt says she went to

AFTER REFORM SCHOOL JOB.
The fight over the superintendent of
the reform school is waxing warm. The
appointment is made by the board of
charities and corrections, and although
the new board will not be named for
some time, both friends and enemies Of
Col Ainsworth, who aspires to the Place,
are very active One of Ainsworth's
friends stated this morning that the $500
recently lost by Supt. Tompl5ins in the
failed Plankinten bank was not public
money, but hissown private funds The
amount, 1t will be remembered, was
made good to Mr.. Tompl1ins by the board
Of charities and corrections at its De-
ceInber meeting by giving him a retro
active increase of salary. The opposi-
worth Is not confined to Mr. Tompkins,
but many Republicans have gone to the
governor and asked that he use his
influence to prevent the new board taking
Mr.. Atnsworth may have been perfectly
honest his accounts were not kept in q
businesS-ltke manner, Col. AinsWorth, on
the other hand. says he is willing and
anxious for full and speedy investiga-
ton of his administration and of his
every act. 81 -i5l
