ROBERTS COUNTY CASE IS DECIDED
Supreme Court Recognizes the "Babcock'' Conven-
ton as Regular One-Opinion by Judge Haney.

The supreme court. in an opinion by
Judge Haney, has handed down a de-
cision in the CASE of the State of South
Dakota on relation of Robert M. How.
ellis VS.. H. A. Metcalf, as auditor of
Roberts county.
This is a case which contained
practically the same elements as the
Wisconsin election case, and will go
ventions in the state in future. The
case goes back to last spring, when
the delegates to the Republican state
nominating convention were selected.
In Roberts county the committee call
ed the county convention for the Sc
lection of the county ticket at the
same time as the convention for the
selection of delegates.
In tie county there was a bitter
fight between the two factions of the
Republican party, one known as the
machine" and the other as the "anti-
machine" The former were support
ing the candidacy Of ]. c. Perkins for
vi SNdlC anu HSlt leu Ny
Perkins H. A. Babcock and other To-
cal leaders. The others were support
Ing c. +. Lien as a candidate for lieu
tenant governor, and their leaders
were-.LiPn, David Eastman and their
followers.
When the convention date arrived
The machine delegates were the most
numerous, and met in the opera house
ut Sisse.on, according to the call of
the county central committee, and
their opponents made no. effort to take
part in this convention, but went to
another hail and held a convention of

egates u the state convention, and

convention the machine delegates

the convention as the regular dele
gates from the county.
Matters rested in that manner until
the time approached for getting
ready the ballots for the election,
when the faction which was recognized
by the state convention made a de-
mand on the county auditor that their
county ticket be placed upon the ballot
as regular. This he declined to do, an
nouncing his intention Of placing the
other ticket in such place, and the
machine ticket to itself. The matter
was then brought before the supreme
court, resulting in a decision which not

"Do you young Sioux have more than
one wife," was asked Of a Grow
Creek Indian. YES" he answered,
"some of us do" The young Indian
would not admit that he had more
than one, however. This is the first
intimation that the young men were
clinging to the customs Of their
fathers in plural marriages. An old
man named Drifting Goose was asked
how he liked the change of life from
rowing and hunting to that of farming
and stock raising, being compelled to
mingle with white neighbors. He an
swered:
"In old times our children did not
graduate from the white mans school
and come back to US with knowledge
Of torpid livers anu catarrh, and We

Two Bad Men Descend Upon Little

Duluth. Oct. 4.-Word has reached
Duluth from Little Fork, on the Lit
tie Fork river, in Northern Itasca

two woodsmen who acted like despe-

They came into town from the north

They started in with Beasley & Oh

the most approved style. The pro
prietors quickly turned the place over
TO them. Two Of the shots were fired
uncomfortably close to Beasley's
head. The bad men, emptied the
cash drawer and helped themselves
to liquor and cigars. Mr.. Olson at

traveller who reached Duluth yester-
day from Grand Rapids said word

is said that the two desperadoes were
drunk and ugly and seemed deter

est excuse. 1t was also said that the
men had helped themselves to new
revOlvers and an abundance of ammu-
milton and had walked up and down
the street, defying arrest and shooting
in all directions. At last accounts the
men were still at Little Fork and it Is
suspected that they are now afraid to
leave for fear of being hunted down.

only supports the ticket endorsed by
the state convention, but also shuts
the other ticket off the ballot entirely
unless it is later nominated by petit
ton, under some other than a Repub-
lican heading.
In considering the case the court
classified the two tickets as the "Bab-
cock and "Houck" tickets, H. A. Bah
cock being the chairman of the con-
vcntion of the Perkins faction and M.
A. Houck of the other convention. In
the case presented to the court, the
Houck faction contended that their
reason for not going into the regular
convention was that they feared blood
shed in case they attempted to enter
the hall where the regular convention
was held, on account of the bitter feel
ing which existed, because there were
were numerous ~contesting delegations.
and because the majority of the n
trail committee was against them.
In regard to these contentious, the
court says: $50 it appears that the
Houck faction remained away from
the regular meeting place CD for fear
of bloodshed; (2) because there were
numerous ~contesting delegations; CD
because the central committee favored
the opposing faction. The first reason
can hardly be taken seriously.
1t ~af1irmatively appears that none OF
the Houck delegates entered or at
tempted to enter the opera house, and
nothing is disclosed which would war
rant the inference that they would
tempted to do SO. Surely it could not
be presumed that such gentlemen as
are usually chosen as delegates to Re-
publican conventions in Roberts coun-
ty necessarily resort to bloodshed
when they disagree concerning the
selection Of delegates to a state con-
yention.'
The finding Of the court after a
lengthy discussion of the situation is:
st follows that the relator is entitled
to a pre-emptory writ of mandamus
commanding the defendant to print the
the regular Republican column On all
ballots to be used at the general cleo
ton in Roberts county, and to exclude
the names of the Houck candidates
therefrom, unless within the period
by statute they shall hereafter be nom

cover his taxable disbursements. but
