Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1905-11-24

in the caucus law that was enacted
by the same legislature.
The caucus law was thrown to the
people as sop by the precious band
of anarchists that controlled the SEN
ate and had the Legislature conspired
to add insult to INJURY, it could have
succeeded no better than it did in
taking away individual liberty
through its infamous enactment
The caucus law will be better un.
derstood through illustration than
through detailed explanation and the
case of Roberts county will serve the
purpose. 1t is matter of common
information that most of the Repub-
licans Of Roberts county revolted
last fal! against the state and local
machines
They went intolndependent caucus
and convention and nominated a
county and legislative ticket against
the regular republican and democrat
ic tickets and won on election day by
a large plurality. The names Of their
candidates went upon the ballot un-
der the name of the Roosevelt re
publican party. Most of the Republi-
cans of Roberts county voted that
ticket.
All who so voted are disfranchised,
SO far as caucus and convention par.
ticipation is concerned, under the
terms of the new caucus law. Unless
the men Of Roberts who voted the
Roosevelt Republican ticket can
swear that they voted for a majority
OF the candidates on the regular Re-
publican ticket, they will be deprived
of caucus and convention rights and
will be compelled to stand by and
the regular" organization carry out
ltS leSallZeu ScnemeS.
They cannot resort again to their
Roosevelt Republican" organization
for the same law forbids the use of
any part Of the Republican or Demo
cratic names in describing ticket.
All these boiling republicans OF
Roberts county can do is to file nomi-
nation by petition and they are not
permitted to take such action until
after both the regular" parties have
held their conventions and nominated
and fled their tickets. The law says
so-that "just and fair caucus law"
that has been exploited before the
people as far better than the primary

steal, government timber and land.
These cattle men took advantage of
the grass, which is produced season

that cannot be be reproduced in an
hundred years, or land that cannot
be reproduced at all. Hitchcock had
better stop chewing the grass and
get after those who have stole some
thing of value.

The New York Sun is advocating
the primary system of nominations
as a remedy for the political evils of
that state. Probably the grafters
will oppose the measure on the
grounds that under that system
poor man cannot afford to be a can
didate for office the grafters in New
York and the machine in this state
love the poor man so, especially at
election time

to carry the rate regulation bill, the
president will have his support. If
his vote would decide the question,
the railroad lobby would get it.

Under a decision of the United
States supreme court it is possible to
recover money lost at gambling from
the owner of any property in which
gambling is permitted. F. H. Trout
of Findlay, o., on two occasions lost
large sums of money in gambling
house in building which was owned
by William Marvin. Urged by his
wife to recover $5OS2 lost on one occa-
sion and $1794 on another. Trout re-
fused to do so. His wife thereupon
brought suit against the proprietors of
the gambling house, and recovered in
the lower courts judgment of $3493,
under the statute which permits re-.
covery by any person whatsoever, of
money lost in gambling. Finding the
gamblers irresponsible for the amount
Of the judgment. Mrs. Trout then
brought suit against William Marvin,
the proprietor of the builting in
which the gambling was permitted to
take place, and recovered in the trial
court the same judgment. The case
was upheld in each higher court

Reading Room for GIenw0Od

Some of our worthy citizens, seeing
the need of reading room in this
city and realizing that unless the pro-
ject is started by someone it will
never be accomplished, have set the
wheels in motion. Now let every
man and woman. who has civic pride,
love for home, hope for his children
or his neighbor's children, put his
shoulder to the wheel and push this to
its consummation. After the public
schools, churches and fire depart
ment, nothing is so much needed in a
town as such a place as reading
room
Hither may resort the boys on win
ter evenings to be companioned by
Lincoln, Gladstone, Stanley and great
men of that stamp; here the girls
may delight themselves with the hero
ines of the world; here the men can
hear the rush and clatter of the life
beyond our mountain valley the wo-
men lifted outside the circle pre-
scribed by their view and strangers
and sojourners find the latest and best
for their delectation.

JOHNSON ACQUITTED
Jury After Brief Consultation Re-
turns Verdict Clearing the
Young Nan

In the district court this week the
charge of embezzlement attracted
more than ordinary attention. Since
johnson was arrested August 19 on
complaint of Austin Gavin he has
been closely watched and many of our
citizens have been free to declare
their confidence in the young man in
n general way and their belief in his
innocence in this particular instance
i Mr.. Gavin, western representative
of the McCord Chapman Greer Mer-
camille company, accused johnson of
embezzling S36 65 while in the employ
of the company. johnson admitted
collecting the money while in Gavin =
employ but said he turned the amount
over to Gavin as he had done with
all previous collections.
Gavin denied any authority of
johnson to make collections. as did
also w F. Greer, member of the
firm. This admission it is said by
lawyers. was enough to acquit John
claimed there coulu be no embezzle-
m.nt until the question of agency was
clearly proved and it is believed that
had Mr. DaIrow moved for nonsuit
at the close of the states evidence, it
would have been granted, but johnson
was anxious to go to the bottom of
the matter MS he seemed to feel GER
tain of his vindication.
H. G. Overlook, who was employed
as bookkeeper for Gavin at the time
the embezzlement was alleged to have
been committed, testified to johnson 4
habit of collecting money for Gavin
and he never heard that johnson was
criticised for doing so
Several witnesses were put on the
stand by the defense with view of
lmpeaching Mr.. Gavin, the prosecut-
ing witness. Some of this testimony
was decidedly uncomplimentary to
| Mr.. Gavin who introduced testimony
in rebnttal, Mr.. Greer especially tes.
flying that his company had implicit
confidence in Mr.. Gavin integrity
The case occupied all of Monday
with night session and until noon
Tuesday when, after being out but 35
minutes, the jury returned verdict
of mot guilty" The following were
the jurors:
Charles Lehow, F. E. Sweet, j. A
Yewell, r. w. Ware, I. B. Davis,
John Hartman, A. E. Sharp. Rex
Curtis, G. d. Fuller, j. H. Brown,

A Deadly Parallel

Georgetown. Colo, Nov 27.-The
local society set has been torn asun-
der as result of the rupture in the
Shakespeare club and number Of
well known women may be held for
contempt of court and sent to Jail.
The break in the smart set has be-
coE,e so wide that there seems abso.
lutely no hope of peace being rec estab-
lished friendships of years standing
have been broken, visiting lists have
been revised and in some instances
the warfare has been carried to the
extent that former friends now do not
speak as they pass each other on the
street or meet by accident in stores
and other places.
The trouble has been brewing for
six months. but it was only a few
weeks ago that the climax came.
Diplomacy has failed and In its place
legal action has been substituted.
Expensive and brilliant legal talent
has been retained by each faction and
the fight promises to be long and bit
ter.
The first break in the pleasant re-
lations of the Shakespeare club oc-
Cured May 10, last.
Two factions had been endeavoring
to secure control of the organization
for several weeks, one side being led

they even selected commission to

if they were scrubbed as often as a
boy ought to wash his face; windows
that can be seen through without ac

that makes your eyes hurt. and when
we finally get nice Lawn outside the
building we can then boast that Glen
wood has as pretty and as well main
tanned school house as there is in the

public dances, after which she would
allow other men to accompany her
home. When demonstrated with

Mr.. Jost, who works nights for the
Glenwood Light and Water company,
said he was never suspicious until he
went home one night and found his
children locked up in the house and
his wife attending dance from
which she was taken home by trav.
cling man from Salt Lake.
The couple has been married FIVE
years and two children have been

Shumate gave him the custody of the

BROWN PAID CATTLE TAX.
On Bunch Of Stock that Had Been

Durant, l. r.. Aug 2-Joseph Brown
of Robbers Roost. who refused to
pay his cattle tax and whose cattle
were driven across Red river, has at
last come through and paid taxes and
costs on his bunch. Mr. Brown first
went 10 Texas and drove the cattle
back The collector for this district
reported Browns action to the Indian
agent and awaited orders. Yesterday
morning j D. Kelsey father of Dana
H. Kelsey the agent. came to Du.
rant and he and Mr. Lester took the
matter mp together; Mr. Kelsey Is
district revenue inspector for the
Chickasaw nation, and he has had a
great amount Of experience with pco-
pie. consequently II was only the mat
ter OF a few minutes until the two
gentlemen decided what TO do. They
called the Indian police force into
action; went out TO Mr.. Browns
place and proceeded TO round up the
cattle again Brown very quickly
came to time, dug up the tax money
and costs and was allowed to retain
his cattle that had caused him so
much unnecessary trouble. Mr.. Kel
sey stated 10 the Herald man that
hCnceforth when "a bunch had to be
driven from the territory they would
be kept out, and no settlement made
with the owners. The cattle tax col
lection in the Chickasaw nation is
about completed, while 1t has only just
begun here. The work i'm the Choctaw
nation will not in all probability be
finished before the FIRST of January.
