DECISION AGAINST COMPANY.
Judge Garland Denies Standard oil

Judge Garland Denies Standard Oil
Syndicate a Temporary Injunction.
Sioux Falls, S. d.. May 4.--Judgc Car
land, of the United States court in this
city, has rendered decision III the case
of the Standard Oil company VS.. Emil
Brauch, state oil Inspector The suit was
instituted for the purpose of securing an
injunction restraining the state oil in
spector from putting into effect the pro-
visions of a law enacted by the last leg
islature establishing Il gravity and resi-
due test of kerosene oil sold In the state.
Judge Garland denies the application OF
the Standard Oil company for a tempo
rary injunction. and has vacated the re-
strainng order issued at the time tho
suit was instituted which prevented the
company or the oil inspector taking any
further steps pending the determination Of
the suit
Judge Carland's decision, which is very
concise, and which, owing to its impor-
tance, is given in full herewith, is as fol-
lows:
The motion for temporary injunction
in the above entitled action, restraining
the defendant from executing the pro-
visions OF the laws of the state of South
Dakota In regard to the inspection of oil,
has been argued. submitted and duly con-
sidered.
AS this court has had occasion to say
| injunction is to hold matters in statu quo
until the court can pass upon the merits
of the case. In this case the complainant
asks the court to suspend the laws of the
state of South Dakota in regard TO the In
spection of Illuminating oils and leave the
state without any such law during the
pendcncy of this suit
in considering this matter the court
must take into consideration the wide and
i extensive use that is made by the citizens
| of the state OF South Dakota of keros ane
as an Illuminating oil and the great neces-
sty of some law requiring an inspection
of the same before 1t is sold
THE court has good reason to believe
| that the conditions which exist in regard
to complanant's property. far the
| oil which has been recently shipped into
| this state is concerned. We're created for
| the purpose of this case, and certainly
with the full knowledge of the law of the
| state
1T also appears that the complainant
| has complied with the law since July l.
\ 1903, and the damage that would result
to it in comparison with the damage that
might result TO the citizens of the state
| by reason of the issuance of a Temporary
injunction is so small as to compel the
| court to refuse a temporary injunction in
this case.
1.-The order to show cause Is discharged
and the restraining clause therein con'
| tanned vacated and set aside"

WEATHER FAVORABLE.
Farmers Progressing Well With Sowing
of Grain

of Grain.
Huron, s. ID, May 5.-The weather
during the week was generally fam,
with seasonable temperature and CON
siderable sunshine and was very fa-
yorable for drying out the too moist low
or HAT lands and for field work.
The seeding of wheat, oats, spelt,
spring rye, and barley was very fa-
vorably advanced. Seeding of wheat
and oats is finished in the southern
and very near completion in the mid
die counties and wheat seeding is we'll
advanced in the northern counties.
Spelt and spring rye sowing is on
the whole well advanced, and consid-
cradle barley has been sown.
Early sown grain is coming up nice
1y and is looking we'll, and the medium
late sown is terminating favorably.
AS result of poor seed and the pre-
reseeding OF wheat and oats has been
found necessary In a few scattered To-
calities.
Winter rye looks we'll and is making
fair progress, and the small amount OF
winter wheat grown in the extreme
southeastern counties is In good CON
ditlon
Grass. though very backward, is now
making fair growth and affords a lit
tie feed for live stock.
Potato planting and gardening are
becoming ger eral and made good
progress.
Flowing ant the preparation OF
ground for corn was rapidly advanced
except on some low lands.
Except in the extreme western por-
ton of the state, where more moisture
is needed, the soil is as a rule amply
moist.

CROP BULLETIN.
Seeding of Wheat Finished in Part,
and Other Work Prouressino.

aH0 OSner WORK FrQ9reSeiu9.
Huron. s. D., April 2s.-The season
IS very backward. The weather during
the week was unseasonably cool. In the
fore part Of the week there wac gen.
erous fall of rain or snow, and some
slcet, over the eastern portion of the
state, Which much retarded seeding
operations and left considerable low or
hat land too wet to work. The pre-
elpitatfon was slight in the extreme
western counties, where most moisture
is needed.
The seeding of wheat is practically
finished in the southern counties, where
also the sowing of oats is far advanced,
and in the middle counties wheat seed
Ing is about half finished: but cool and
wet soil has retarded termination and
growth of grain, and from a number
the earliest sown wheat and oats rot
ting.
Considerable barley has been sown
In the extreme southern counties.
Winter rye and also the limited
amount of winter wheat sown are gem
orally looking we'll, but need warm
weather
Grass is very backward and affords
little or no pasturage for live stock
on the ranges. Generally, range stock
is thin, and in many localities feed is
scarce, and the cold rain and snow are
hard on stock.
Gardening and potato planting made
slow progress.
Spring plowing made fair progress
on high or well drained land, but there
Is much yet to be done.

WIFE pEsERTER ARRESTED.
Rev. Charles Lyons, Principal in Sen
sationai Case Must Stand Trial.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. May 5.-Now that
Rev. Charles A. Lyons, who created a
sensation by disappearing from Sioux
Falls last December, has been ar
rested in st Paul and brought back to
this city, he will discover that his
punishment for deceiving young
woman of Sioux Falls will be swift and
sure When taken before Judge Waits
the prisoner waived his preliminary
hearing and was held for the next term
of state circuit court.
His arrest was due largely to the
personal efforts Of the woman he had
deceived. When Lyons reached Sioux
Falls In custody of an officer Mrs
Lyons and a friend were posted at the
depot where they could see without be-
ing seen. and she readily identified the
prisoner as the man who had deceived
her.
Lyons first appeared in Sioux Falls a
year ago this month, and for time
made his home with Rev. e. A. Orr,
pastor of the local Christian church.
Lyons exhibited credentials which We're
apparently all right and which We're
satisfactory to the clergymen of the
city. For time he occupied the pulpit
of the Presbyterian c'.urch, and also
of the Baptist church.
Last summer he met Miss Emma Per-
Wis, stenographer in the Sioux Falls
Savings bank, the leading financial in
stitution of the city. He at once COM
nenced to pay court to the young lady.
and on October 5, last this eliminated
in their marriage. They lived happily
together and Mrs. Lyons was nearly
Frustrated when on December % her
husband mysteriously disappeared.
1t was not until within the last few
weeks that she became satisfied that
she had been deserted and that the
villain in whom she had reposed the
utmost confidence was still alive. Then
she determined to have Lyons brought
to justice, and opened a correspondence
with every book bindery In the country,
S.yons being book binder by trade.
. During her investigations she also
ascertained that Lyons had been mar
ried three times before he married her
and that two of these wives were still
alive.
Rejoice Over Return Passes Granted.
Belle Fourche, S. D., May 5.-There
is general rejoicing among the cattle
men of this district over the granting
of the return pass over the railroads
from the receiving stations in the east.
The shipping of cattle from this part
of the Hills means the travelling of a
great many men back and forth, and
to pay the transportation charge would
have meant several thousand dollars q
year extra to the cattlemen.

John McCue. stonecutter, who was
arrested Wednesday on the charge OF

similar charge, but the evidence against
him was insufficient. This time large
quantity of liquor was found.
Frank sChickering has out another
patent, and something so simple and
useful to painters it is strange it hasn't
been thought of before. It is little de-
wise whereby painter can always keep
his brushes, when not in use, up out of the
paint, and not have them lying around
on his staging or elsewhere dripping or
daubing. 1t can be made on the brush
and won't add penny to cost of manu-
facture, being nothing but wire catch
or hook. A big paint concern has
already asked for an option on it.
