- Is Saved It.

Pierre. S. D., March AFTER an angry
fight led in opposition to such action by
Representative Longstaff, chairman Of the
appropriations committee, the house re-
versed its action of Monday and passed
the special appropriations for the Madi-
son, Spearfish and Springfield normal
schools. For the later action Springfield
is indebted almost wholly to the personal
popularity of Lieutenant Governor Snow.
The bill was defeated twice, but recon-
sidered and passed finally by the action
of the Lincoln county delegation, which
came to it's support, giving it exactly the
required two-thrds. .s
Both house spent the greater portion
of the session in considering and passing
the specials and in the passage Of their
own bills to-day, being the last day in
which either house can pass it's own bills.
Both house will consider the general ap
preparation bills to-day.
Senator Nell made an Intellectual at
tempt last night to bring up the sale of
the Sisseton camp grounds, which was
defeated on Monday. It cannot be re-
vived.
Senator Royhl made a splendid fight
for his bill to prohibit the sale of liquor
by pharmacists in local option counties
and passed it.
All Of the specials" have now passed
both house, though there are some con-
currences yet to be made. The business
is we'll in hand with every prospect that
both calendars will be cleared early on
Friday, though there will be some delay
in waiting for the enrolling Of bills
which may require late session.

jury late yesterday afternoon returning
a verdict Of murder in the first degree,

follows:
L thank you, gentlemen, for your YER
dict and believe that you have returned
a verdict which you thought just, when
taken into consideration with the law and
evidence, and, assure you that I hold no
personal animosity in my heart against;
any; of YOU -4 ,.-..- .s....
Mott had rather expected such yer-
dict, and had told deputy that he would
much prefer to be hanged than to serve
even ten years in the state .penitentiary,
and that the past two weeks in the court
room had been the hardest work he had
ever had in his life. He will be sentenced
! to death tomorrow.
! Mott killed his wife on Jan. 4, last, firing
| four shots, three through her body and
one into her arm. The murder was prac-=
| tically cold blooded. -. :,

electors in the town of Commonwealth.
MI. Braun related that in order to go to
the polls he must travel over thirty five
miles Of road that are bad in the best
seasons and execrable in the worst sea-
sons; roads well nigh impossible in the
spring time when there is much snow on
the ground. He and occasionally two or
three Of his neighbors made the journey
to the polls at election time. They
started the day before and got back the
day after. He had resided in the COM

himself and two or three others, the rest
Of the electors never went near the polls.
There is objection to the division of the
town. Some of the residents of the north
east corner say that the town of Fence is
seeking to take all Of the cream of the
