r'. Issues Involved 's. s.-'-'

SIOUX FALLS, s. .D.-Judse< Garland
of the United States court has made a;
decision in the famous case of John Lee
Booker of England VS.. Charles r. Crocker
which involves the ownership of the nam
moth packing plant In this city, valued
at several hundred thousand dollars
By the decision the case Is referred to
John King, a member Of the local law
firm of Porter & King, who is appointed
a special master In chancery for the pur-
pose of taking testimony upon two issues
involved in the case.
At the hearing Booker was represented
by Harrison Richardson, an attorney Of
Minneapolis and u. S. G.. Cherry of this
city, while the defendant was represented
by Jesse w. Boyce and c. o. Bailey of
this city. i>Erzr .-..s..
A recent dispatch from Evarts stating
that Colonel Thomas 6, Orr of that place
mad been appointed United States commits
sioner at Evarts for the Cheyenne River
Indian reservation and such portion of
the Standing Rock reservation as is en-
braced within the limits of South Dakota,
appears to have been a little premature.
No such appointment has as yet been
fllcd In the office Of O. S. Pendar, clerk
of the United States court in this city.
II; Colonel Orr is an applicant for the po-
sition, it would seem that Judge Garland
has not yet taken action in the matter.

pare plans, grades and details Of the pro-
posed line and submit them to the board

The capitol trustees will also at the
meeting April IA engage an architect and
have plans submitted for the addition

trustees this week and discussed infor-
mally the matter of the addition. ssrE

eral days looking at sites for the proposed
Indian school which has been authorized

EberlIne From Ambush.
WELLS. MINN.-The preliminary hear
ing of Bert Ronk for the fatal shooting OF
Charles Eberline, is being held here to-
day. The coroner's jury considered the
case yesterday afternoon and found that
Eberline was killed by a rifle ball fired
by Ronls. LIS
Investigation by the states attorney ap-
pears to show that the shooting was done
from ambush at a distance Of ninety
yards, where seven empty rifle shells were
found. Eberline's shot gun lay in the
bottom Of the boat with the paddle on
top. evidently untouched.
The state believes that Ronk was posted
behind a tree about 275 feet from the boat
when he fired his rifle at Eberline. Ir
addition to the empty shells a mark was
found on the tree where he rested his
gun. Ronk will no doubt be held for g
regular trial. .-..5
