Huron, S. D., April 19.-M. f. Yegge,
who for several months past has been
practicing ophthomology here under a
diploma issued by Il Chicago institution
following a brief term there. was sem
fenced in circuit court by Judge Whit
ing Saturday afternoon to pay q fine
of $50 and to serve fifteen days in the
county Jail, for violating the state law
regulating the practice of medicine.
The court was pretty severe in his lee
ture to Mr.. Yegge before pronouncing
sentence, and also took occasion to
severely criticise the institution that
gave him diploma after term cover
Ing only about a month. Yegges man
ner of advertising was declared mis-
leading and on that account the court
came down on him heavily. The case
will likely be taken TO the supreme
court. The action in the circuit court
was brought by the state board of
medical examiners, and who propose to
bring similar actions against other ir-
responsible parties. and the Chicago in
stitution may come in for special at
tention.
