SOUTH DAKOTA .
A PIERRE ARGUMENT

Vast Central Section Has No State lnsti-
. tuition but the Capitol.
Pierre, S."D:-The different state insti-
buttons are, with one. exception, either
located along the eastern border of the
state or in the Black Hills. The exception
is the state capital. A few years ago a
normal school was granted to Aberdeen
in addition to those already established
in the state, on the argument that this
portion Of the state had no public institu-
ton. This was the argument presented
to sustain the claim, and it OVERRIDE the
contention that the state had already
more schools than it. could afford tc
keep up. r. -.
The state capitol is the only public
recognition of that portion Of the state
west Of line drawn from Springfield
north to Aberdeen, except in the Black
Hills. The argument which established
school at Aberdeen is just as good for
retaining the capital at Pierre, and those
who back ed the contention four years ago
cannot favor a change in capital location
without changing front.
When returns first begun to come in
from the Stanley Lyman county district
the indications were for the election OF
Alfred Zoske, the republican nominee for
the lower" house, but with all the re-
turns in Warren Young, democrat, is
shown to be elected by a majority OF
eleven votes. Mr.. Young is a resident OF
Stanley county, as is Mr.. Carlin, the
senator elect. = AS a matter of fact, ever
since the organization of this district ir
1897 the only representative Lyman coun-
ty has ever had in the leglature was John
@. Anderson, at the session two years ago
At all other elections, Stanley county has
captured both the senate and house mem
bers.

to-day and the first case moved for trial

shooting occurred three years ago. Gray
and pal were implicated in Moorhead
burglary and were located on the Fargo
side Of the river Murphy started across
with the men and on the bridge Gray
concluded he would not go over. After
some words he shot Murphy. Later he
was captured and sent to the penitentiary
in Minnesota on burglary charge and on
his release was arrested and brought to
Fargo to be tried for the shooting.
Murphy's recovery was regarded as re-
marlable, as his intestines were perfor-
ated in fourteen places and necessitated
several delicate operations.

in congress to place Paul Crum of Fargo
