Organization Formed to Help Produce
Markets for Black Hills Products.

Spearfish. s. D., March 17.-The
Black Hills Cooperative association
mas entered upon a career of active
business. Il. N. Pettisrew was elected
manager at the last meeting of the d.
rectors, and since the meeting has pur-
chased the WolZmuth warehouse and
has commenced listing farm and gar
den products for the market. He has
purchased a carload of berry boxes to
early summer in handling strawberries
and other small fruits raised in this
vicinity. He has already listed a large
quantity of farm produce, including
several thousand bushels of No. /
wheat, a carload of oats, six carloads
of timothy, four carloads of native hay
and ten carloads of potatoes.
This association was organized sew
eral months ago by the farmers of
Speartish valley. f. L. Cook, president
of the state normal school, is president
of the association.
Fruit raising has for a number of
years received much attention in this
vicinity. Small fruits of all kinds are
raised here In abundance and an eX-
cellent market is furnished in the cit
les of Deadwood and Lead. and some of
the fruit raised here finds its way into
northwestern Nebraska and even into
Colorado, coming, as 1t does, a few
weeks later than the home grown fruits
of those regions. During the past year
potatoes have also found an excellent
market. and 1t is now known that the
crop this year will far exceed that of
any previous period. The Black Hills
Co Operative association is calculated
to obtain for the farmer and fruit
raiser the best going prices, and it is
receiving much encouragement.

GOVERNOR HERREID
ON EXTRADITION Law
Firmly Believes Dye Case Can
Be Covered Without
Amendment.
-7E QUOTES CONSTITUTION
Thinks That Federal Law Does Not
Stand in Way for New State
Statute to Be Enacted
Other News.

Pierre, S. d.. March 17.-Since the
failure to secure the custody of Mrs
Dye in Iowa, for trial on the charge
OF murder, by poisoned candy, in the
Nelson case in this state, the matter
mas received considerable attention.
ana II has been stated at Des Moines
that no law covering such case could
be secured without an amendment OF
the constitution of the United States
Governor Herreid has naturally been
considerably interested in the matte,
and has given 1T considerable attention
and does not agree with this Iowa
idea. In speaking of the case he first
called attention to the provisions of
the national constitution which has
been declared to stand In the way Of
such legislation, which is as follows:
A person charged in any state With
treason, felony or other crime, who
shall flee from justice and be found in
another state, shall, on demand of the
executive authority of the state from
which he fled, be delivered up to be
removed TO the state having jurisdc-
tion of the crime.
This Governor Herreid does not be-
lieve prevents state action beyond the
language and intent of the constitution,
and in support of that view cites the
language of the majority of the North
Carolina court in the case of the state
vs. Hall where eXtradition was refused
III u case Wnefe q man was shot and
killed. the person doing the shooting
being in one state and the person
killed in another. In that case the
opinion says:
In the exercise OF its reserved SOW
ereign powers. the state may, as an act
of comfy to a sister state, provide by
statute for the surrender, upon requisi-
ton, of persons who, like the prisoners,
are indictable for murder in another
state. though they have never fled from
justice. If 1t shall be proved that the
prisoners were, in fact, in North Caro-
lima, and the deceased i'm Tennessee
when the fatal wound was inflicted, a
law may still be enacted giving the
governor the authority to issue his
warrant and deliver them on requsi-
tion'
Quoting from Spear. on extradition,
State statutes may be enacted to fur
nish remedy not now supplied by
either federal or state law" Governor
'Herreid believes that the foregoing
court decision points out the way to
secure legislation to cover any such ac-
tions as the present one which may
come up in the future between different
states.

rerent parts of the state. The rigid en-
forcement of the law governing the
