Range Horse. IN Demand.

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 29.-After
strenuous efforts lasting two months,
stray horses in the ceded Sioux lands,
between the Missouri river and the
Black Hills, in western South Dakota,
have been rounded up. This was the
first thorough horse roundup for sew
eral years, and required the services of
small army of men. This roundup
was due to the good prices brought by
range horses. A few years ago they
were valueless and owners turned them
adrift by thousands to roam at will
over an area as large as many eastern
states. Horses whose present value is
between $50. 900 and $1OO,O were
rounded up and again placed upon the
ranges of the owners, preparatory to
being shipped to the eastern markets.
All the animals were found to be in
good condition, showing they had not
been injured by their several years
abandonment on the great plains of
the state.

EFFECT OF COURT DECISION.
viii Bring Several Hundred Thou
sand Dollars to Treasury.
THREE-FouRTHs IGNORE LAW.

Topeka, July 25.-The decision Of
the supreme court in the American
Book Company case hits all foreign
corporations which have not hled
copies of their charters with the secre-
tary of state and paid the charter fees
provided by law. 1t is estimated that
over half of the corporations doing
business in Kansas are organized under
the laws Of other states, and only
small per cent of them have complied
with the foreign corporation law as
interpreted by the supreme court. If
rigidly enforced by the executive
branch of the state government, the
law will net the state several hundred
thousand dollars in revenue.
The decision has called attention to
the fact that only q comparatively
small per cent Of the foreign corpora
tons have ever paid any attention to
the new law. 1t is believed that fully
rs per cent of them have completely
ignored the law. The penalty is the
loss of all rights in the courts of the
state. In other words a foreign cor
poration cannot maintain suit in the
Kansas courts for the collection of
debt.
There are three contracts for work
on the state house being completed by
foreign companies If the state audi
tor follows the supreme courts decis-
ion he must hold up payments for all
this work until the companies take out
charter and pay the legal fees.
