clemsncy in behalf of his client.

The attorney contended that the mar
riage mania was the only crime that
could be charged to Lyons, who, he
stated, would not live three years. as
there was every indication he had Il
blood clot on the brain. When Lyons
was asked IL he had anything to say
why the judgment of the court should
not be pronounced, he stated that he
had not, and Judge Jones then sem
fenced him to term of four years at
hard labor in the Sioux Falls peniten-

was captured in st. Paul a few weeks
ago and brought back to Sioux Falls
to answer to the charge of bigamy.

Washington, May T.--Interest is grow

charges of incompetency against the pat

as to threaten general investigation.
The interview with Mr.. Edison attract

said that, while Mr.. Edison felt he had
been greatly wronged in the department,
he charged nothing more than ncom-

However. it was said that If incompe-

or rascality could explain the circum-

little rejoicing among state university
students today, but the lads from the
state agricultural college at Brookings
have every reason to feel proud of the
decision that they gained In the debate
last evening. But whatever may be
the feelings of remorse Of the admirers
of fallen heroes, they cannot do other
wise but take their medicine with good
grace. While there may be some ques-
tion as to the outcome OF the debate,
the wearers of the red will make no
outcry. The judges, by two to one
vote, decided that the action of the
United States government in relation
to Panama was in harmony with the
