RODNEY VS.. LEMLY,
Defendant Granted Right to Strike Out
Declaration.

In the case of Lieutenant Commander
Robert Burton Rodney, paymaster, retired
United States Navy. against Capt. Samuel
c. Lemly, until recently judge advocate
general of the United States navy, in which
Lieutenant Commander Rodney claimed
that the defendant had slandered plain
tiffs case to various Secretaries of the
Navy. Chief Justice Clabaugh OF the Dis
trict Supreme Court today granted the de-
fendant's motion to strike out the plain
tiff's amended declaration on the ground
that the same was unintelligible. In sustain
ing the motion the court refused leave to
amend because of the scandalous matter
contained in the declaration"
Lieutenant Commander Rodney was re-
tired about 1870, since which time he has
been endeavoring to be restored to the &C
tive list of the navy. His suit arose out of
action taken by Captain Lemly, in his Of
fetal capacity, in passing upon applications
of Rodney for restoration to the active list.
Attorneys J. T Devices & Co. represented
Rodney, while United States Attorney
Beach and Assistant United States Attor-
ney Jesse Adkins appeared for Lemly.

A REVOLUTIONARY HERO.
Contract for Monument to Gen. Mercer
at Fredericksburg.

Colonel Bromwell, the engineer officer in
charge of public buildings and grounds,
has made a contract with Mr.. Edward
Valentine OF Richmond, Va, for the cree
ton at Fredericksburg, Va, of monument
to the memory of Gen. Hugh Mercer. for
which an appropriation of $4,000 was made
by Congress In 1902. The monument con-
sists of a pedestrian statue on a massive
pedestal and was designed by Mr.. Valen-
tine. 1t is reported to be a work of I'M
usual artistic excellence.
In April 1777, the Congress of the United
States agreed to the erection of a monu-
ment to General Mercer at Fredericksburg
and prescribed inscription to be placed
thereon. but nothing was done toward
carrying the agreement into effect until
June. 1902 12J years later, when Congress
appropriated $4,000 for that purpose.
The inscription prescribed for the monu-
ment follows:
Sacred to the memory of
HUGH MERCER
Brigadier general in the army of
The United States.
He died on the 18th Of January, 1777, of the
Wounds he received on the Sd of the same
month,

MIDsHIPMAN WARDS DEATH.
Additional Details of the Explosion on
the Missouri.

Brig. Gen. Thomas Ward, L. S. A.. re-
tired. whose son lost his life in the eXplo-
sion on the battleship Missouri in April last
has received n letter from Mr.. Moody, Sec
rotary of the Navy, giving additional de-
tails of the young mdshipmans gallant
conduct at the time of the accident which
were not brought out by the court OF In
quiry on account of the Illness of one Of
the few living witnesses.
The details officially reported to the de-
partment by the commanding officer of the
Missouri show that Mdshipman Ward, at
the time in charge of the handling room,
gave an order and sprang to close the door
of the magazine at the instant the hrst
flash came down from the turret, showing
that he was alive to the great danger, and
that his first thought was to save the ship
and that he died while in the performance
of this duty.
Secretary Moody has ordered these facts
placed in Midshipman Wards record in the
department, and has sent copy of his let
ter to be published to the North Atlantic
fleet and to be read on the quarter deck of
the Missouri.

TIL KIMBALLG
cLATE T1NAN
ottieia! Paper Of the City and County
TO JHE SALOON

The heavy majority for license in
the city election last week was not so
much due to the sentiment per Sc as
from a disposition to let well enough
alone.
Were it generally believed that a
prohibition law could be thoroughly
enforced 1t would be a toss.up as to
which ride would win out.
Twenty-four ballots does not indi-
cate the number OF voters in this town
who are at heast opposed to saloons.
Not by a good many.
Since license took effect in Kimball
the saloons have kept orderly places
and made every reasonable compliance
with the law. This must be continu-
ed, and improved upon, or some day
when least expected the shutters will
go up.
The people OF this town will stand
no monkeying-no selling after hours,
on SUNDAYS, nor to minors, nor to men
already "loaded."
COHlpeUlUlOn is the lie OF trade, all
right, but it's death to the saloon
that works it to the limit.
For various reasons many strong
temperance people, If not what you
might call pro%hibitionists, voted for
license last week. In so doing they
largely put back their own individual
wishes and bowed to public senti-
ment.
Out Of respect for this confidence it
is the duty of the municipal authori-
ties to see that the saloons are held
in strict Notwithstanding we
think they will readily comply with
as they have voluntarily done in the
past.

President Roosevelt signed the
Rosebud bill and it is a law. There
are about 2,400 quarter sections to be
disposed of. after reserving the school
sections and taking out the Indian
allotments. All the land taken up
within three months is sold for $64O a
quarter, 81 an acre of which must be
paid at time of entry. You can pay
it all in a lump and commute under
the general homestead laws. 1t is
not necessary to live on the land five
years. The land will be disposed Of
by drawing, as "a the case in Okla
bona. The territory open to settle
ment lies south of Brule county just
across the Missouri and most of it is
desirable land. The rainfall is the
same as in this county and ample to
mature crops as a rule. The presi-
dent will issue a proclamation in due
time and the land will be subject to
entry sixty days thereafter. The in
dications are that there will be a doz-
en- disappointed ones to one who will
get a lucky number in the drawing.

The Pierre organs are still running
that syndicate article from the Aber-
deem News about the land wei in
Butte County for which the Commits
sioner of public lands was offered $40
an acre. AS has been previously stat
ed. the particular tract consists Of
two %forties, eighty acres, along the
Belle FOurche river twelve miles from
Fourche and was wanted by a ranch
man to square out his land. The land
commissioners would:have been mighty
glad to let him have it we're it not
that the costs OF sending a man out
there to close the deal would cost
more than was warranted by the offer.
The amusing part of it is, to see Or
gans like the Aberdeen News drawing
half-column deductions and conclu-
sions on millions of acres of lands in
that part Of the state that are no
more to be compared with this little
eighty acre tract than Arizona is with
Iowa.

Politicians all over the state are
a%nxioasiy awaiting the gathering OF
the Republican delegates at the state
convention IN Sioux Falls next Ned
nesday, where the prettiest fight for
nomination OF governor that ever took
place in the state is scheduled TO take
place. The followers of Coe l. Craw-
ford-the insurgents as they are call
ed-express confidence in landing
their man, while the machine men
maintain that he won't get over $50
votes on the first ballot. The full
strength OF the convention is 1913. 1t
is impossible for any la or any set Of
men,to state just what Crawford's
strength is, there being so many un-
instructed delegations. OF these del
egations both sides make great claims.
The inference, however is that the
machine has the better Of it on all
these delegations. We don't think
Crawford is going to pet the nomina-
tion. Who is: We will tell you that

e. Frank Peterson, who was the

logical and historical work, and is a
library Of valuable information re-
garding u state.-Arlington Sun.

pieted the task it will be intesestlng

II the Sun man will print the exact
description of the soil of that section
directly west, of Pierre to the Hills,
as described in Peterson's atlas, We'll
send him personal check Tor it at
his regular rates. The offer is open
to any Pierre organ. Even If the
people Of this state were foolish
enough to leave the capital on the
edge Of the cattle ranges 1t would not
be because of any belief that the
western plains will be settled and In
habited to the same extent as the
country east of the Missouri. They
know better; and any newspaper that
tries to work that argument is en-
gagged in a game Of deception that is
no credit to 1t. The few who are
actually settling across the river from
Pierre-where there is considerable
tillable land along the bottoms near
water courses-gives an excuse for
some Of the most extraordinary lying
that ever ran the gamut Of a partisan
press. This settlement" bears about
the same relation to the vast territory
beYond-about one-lralf the total area
OF the state-as would the building OF
a boat landing on it's shore effect the
waters of Lake Superior.
