Supreme Court ReVerses Lower Court
in the Dell Rapids Case.
The supreme court has reversed the
lower court in the case of Mary Gar
rlgan against John T. Thompson and
others and his bondsmen.
This was an important damage case
at Dell Rapids. Michael Garrigan,
barber, committed suicide while in
toxicated. The widow, Mary Garrl-
gan. sued John r. Thompson, the sa-
loonkeeper, alleging that he had sold
the drink to her husband, after being
warned not to do it, and that as re-
suit of this sale her husband killed
himself. The jury returned verdict
for $4,000 damages. The defendants
made a motion for a new trial, but
Judge Jones denied the motion. APP
peal was taken on this, and the SUI
preme court reverses the lower court
which means new trial in a case
which has been OF large interest to
many people in this part of the state.

while in town to stop dog fight, which

back of a saloon. Hughes evidently
owned one of the dogs and he immedi-
ately assaulted the deputy sheriff.
They clinChed and fell to the ground,
Hughes fastening his teeth in the dep,

his teeth still embedded in the flesh,
Hughes tried TO gouge the deputy sher'

finger nails.

he forced him to release his grip on

Daughter Disinherited In Favor Of
Stepdaushter.
The will of the late Samuel Bessant
Of Dumont, whose death occurred a
few weeks ago, is being contested In
the county court at Lead and is max
ing an interesting case. The deceased
had three daughters in the Black Hills,
Mrs. George Glover and Mrs. Hanson
Of Lead, and Miss Bessant, an unmar-
ried daughter. For some time previous
to his death he had been cared for by
the unmarried daughter at his home.
and 1t is claimed the other daughters
gave him no attention. A year or two
ago he made will in which the three
daughters shared alike, but few
days before his death, on learning
that his condition was critical, he
made new will In which the unmar-
ried daughter was given all the prop
erty and the other two were allowed
81 each.
The two married daughters are now
contesting the claims Of the devisee
on the ground that the old man was
not In his right mind at the time the
will was made; that he was addicted
to intoxicating liquors, and was in the
practice of becoming intoxicated at
times, when he was mentally irrespon-
sible.

Duluth, June 9.-The slayer Of NJ. J..
Mclaughlin, the village marshal Of
Mountain Iron Saturday evening was a
laborer named Sam Berg, and he lies
mortally wounded in st. Luke's hos
pital in Duluth He gave himself up at
5 o'clock yesterday morning and was
brought to Duluth in the afternoon in
charge of Sheriff Butchart The trag-
edy was occasioned by what Is be.
lieved to have been a falsehood told by
an intoxicated Italian. 1t was he who
complained to Marshal Mclaughlin at
Mountain Iron that he had been held
up and robbed of 500 near the en-
trance to the Mountain Iron mine, and
this story is believed by the authori-
ties. AS near as can be learned the
Italian, who recently went to Noun
tain Iron from Ashland, while some
what intoxicated, started into the
mine, which is an open pit, and was
ordered out. He made some sharp re-
torts and a fight ensued, in which the
Italian was beaten, and it is believed
that he faxed the story of the hold-Up
to explain away his battered counte-
nance. But Marshal Mclaughlin be-
lieved the story and went out in search
of the alleged hold-up men. The result
was that he was killed by a man who
had never seen or heard of the Italian,
and his slayer is believed to be dying.

wheat, oats ana Other Grain make
Satisfactory Progress.
The temperature during the week
averaged about the normal, with con-
adorable cloudiness. There were
General rains the fore part of the week
and generous to heavy rains in the
extreme southeast portion of the state.
The rains were generally beneficial,
except In the lower James and Sioux
river valley counties, where they
caused considerable low and fiat land
10 continue too wet.
On the whole wheat, oats, barley,
rye spelt and grasses made very salts
factory progress. Winter rye is head
ing and thick on the ground, and the
other small grains are stooling well,
especially wheat, and are in a very
healthy condition. Late sown grain is
making good progress.
The condition of corn planting on
low lands was further delayed by wet
soil in some of the southeastern cOun-
ties, but elsewhere planting progressed
fayorably and is nearly finished. Early
corn Is up generally, but there is some
complaint of only fair stands, and
some replanting is being done because
of poor seed and too wet lon lands.
Cultivation is in progress except
where it is too wet. Reports indicate
that in the extreme southeastern coun.
ties some of the corn lands will be
used for later crops.
Flax and millet sowing progressed
favorably, and early sown fax is up
and doing well.
Potato planting is nearly completed
and the growing crop is making very
satisfactory progress.
Grass crops are in very good con-
dition and pasturage is ample. The
condition of range cattle is steadily
improving.
In some upper Missouri valley coun-
ties more rain would be beneficial.
There was some local hail, but no
material injury is reported therefrom,
except in Clay county.

South Dakotan Paid a Bill Due Forty
Years AGO.

Sioux Falls, S. D., June 8. - That
Uncle Sam always pays his debts, not
withstanding that he sometimes is
very slow about it, is again proved by
the case Of Rev. S. II. Stevens, prom
inent clergyman of Gregory county.
He has just received a draft from the
United States government in payment
OF bill which has been due him for
nearly forty years. The interesting
feature of the matter is that the
amount was only about $50. In carry
ing this trivial sum on the books at
Washington, and in investigating the
claim, there is no doubt the govern
ment has expended hundreds of dol
lars. The payment is refund Of
money advanced by the clergyman
during the Civil war for clothing and
travelling expenses.
