Judge Marquis of the third cir
cult has rendered a decision in the
case of Margaret w. Mellette VS..
the state of South Dakota involv-
ing the title to the Mellette home
stead near Waterfowl. The decis.
ion is in favor of the plaintiff and
gives her title to the land. The
case grew out Of the defalcation of
ex-state treasurer ". w. Taylor.
Ex-Governor Mellette was one of
the creditors OF Taylor and turned
over his property including tile
homestead to Taylor to satisfy the
debt. Taylor then decided it to the
state, but Mrs. Mtllette claimed IT,
tie to the homestead and brought
action to recover it. The case has
been in litigation for about ten
years, and while it would seem,
when viewed from the standpoint
of strict justice, as though the state
was entitled to the property, yet
considering the fact that the ex-
governor died soon after surren-
dering nearly all of bis property,
thus leaving bis widow in almost
destitute circumstances, we appre-
bend that there will be very few
who will regret that she has beer
able to retain her home.
