Watertown Public Opinion: The
Sioux Falls Press rusbes to the de-
Tense Of Mr.. Elliott, who recently re.
signed as federal attorney, with the
statement that The resignation was
brought about because the. DEPART
ment at Washington had allowed
itself to become the instrument Of
oppression, or attempted oppression,
in that it was h~arrassing Mr.. Elliott
with regard to the prosecution Of
Mr.. Crawford iE connection with
land frauds in this state. The paper
in question does not mention the de-
%partn4ent, but it might as we'll, for
1T lntimates that the South Dakota
machine was back of the effort to in
dict MI. Crawford, ard the machine
could in no manner ''touch'' Mr..
Crawford without the cooperation
of the department acting through
Mr.. Elliott. The fact OF the matter
is that the land department request
ed the attorney general OF the United
Statse to remove MIR. Elliott some
weeks before the attorney sent in
his RESIGNATION. The land DEPART
ment was not. at all satisfied with the
seeming disposition of Mr.. Elliott
to protect certain personages whom

The first case called in : circuit
court Wednesday was that of 70.
L. Grinnell, who brought suit to re-
cover tom the City OF Mitchell the
sun of $780, which he claimed to
be due for moving the safe OF the
United States land office from the
second floor of the building on the
corner of Main and Second avenue
west to the third floor OF the city
hall building. The job was done last
year some time and when he finished
it Mr.. Grinnell put in bis blu for the
amount. The council at it's meeting
allowed the same at $50 and tender
ed him the amount. Mr.. Grinnell
refused to accept it and brought suit.
In support of his own statement as
to the value Of the work performed
L. A. AHsden gave it as his opinion
Mr.. Grinhell's charge was fair. In
the city's side of the case +. L..
Rowley and S. W. Rowley, who have
had experience in moving, expressed
their opinion that from s35 to $40
would be a fair recompense for the
work. The attorneys gave their
pleas to the Jury just before the noon
hour and the jury retired at 1880.
O'Clock, remaining out about twenty
minutes. The verdict was in favor
of Mr.. Grinneli allowing him $50. 40.

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES
High School Lads Preparing 10
Their Meet at Sioux Falls
May 4.

The date of State Field Meet Of
the S. ID. III. S. A. a. is rapidly APP
preaching and the athletes of the
state L rapidly rounding into form
in preparation for the meet. The
prospects for the best meet ever held
in the state are exceedingly bright
aud the Board of Control which has
charge OF the meet is more than
elated with the interest which the
various high schools of the state are
manifesting in the contest. Every
thing at present points toward a
large number of contestants from al
parts OF the state. 1t is reported
that the Deadwood high School will
send Il strong team to the meet to
try for the state Championship. and
1T is probable that the western part
Of the state will try conclusions with
the high schools Of the eastern sec
tion for the first time.
Over 800 in medals have been
offered to the winners of the differ
ent events, and these with the fact
that the state championship is to be
decided at the meet will spur the
athletes to their limit.
An extra inducement to the high
schools competing there in the meet
is the fact that North High, of Min
neapolis, the winners of the Twin
City meet last year, wish to meet
the team winning tie state champ
ionship at Minneapolis later in the
season.
Reception and entertainment COM
mittees have been appointed and the
faculty and students Of the Sioux
Falls high school are leaving nothing
undone to make the visit Of the ath-
letes to the city as pleasant as pos
sible. The athletes of that school
are working every day at Coates
track and are determined to do their
utmost to capture the state champ
ionship.

that such a faculty can often save
life in the last extremity, is never
theless forced to admit that d facul-
ty Of that kind would llave no play
when confronted with such a sud-
den and appalling rise of the death
|specter as that seen in San Fran
cisco. In a great c~onfiagration in a
crowded bulldog there is quick use
Tor all the senses, and often to some
good end. In a destructive cyclone,
intelligence and composure OF mind
can note the direction OF the wind
and choose from all a building the
point of greatest resistance and least
danger. In practically every sort of
accident fy field or flood there is a
chance for mind and nerve to assert
themselves with at least a hope OF
success.
But the question of what a man
would have done II caught in the yor-
tex on the California shore must re-
main unanswered, unless we give it
the only possible answer and say that
he would have done nothing. Then
the question will arise Of how a man
should best. illustrate his helpless
ness The chief Of the San Fran
cisco fire department has given the
best possible answer to this. He
could do nothing. but he gave mis-
life in trying to do that duty which
he felt he should at least make an
effort to do. Staying at his post was
the only possible thing to him, and
there he died. And this is the full
and complete answer, after all, to
the question of what a man could do
under such circumstances.

NOME, Alaska, Nov. 1.-THE

Primarily the object Of Uncle

sources of food, fuel and clothing
having been decimated by the raw
ages of the white hunters of the
walrus, seal and whale.
