Indictment Void.
Pierre, s. D., Feb. 22.-G. p. Horben,
an, attorney from Platte, secured a
writ of habeas corpus from the SUI
prene court in the case of Olaf Nelson,
one of the parties charged with catt!o
rustling in Lyman county. The grounds
for asking for the writ is that the in
dictment was found at special term
of court, which is claimed to be in vio-
lation of constitutional provisions. The
argument on the habeas corpus will be
before the supreme court some time
early next month, and is a case of i'm
mense importance for the reason that
it will knock out all the indictments re-
turned in the numerous rustfng cases
in that county if the position taken in
this case is sustained.
