The state assessment board has def
nitely decided that the assessment of
telephone companies has grown to such
an extent that it will be necessary for
them to consider that class of property
in meeting to itself, to be held on the
regular date set for such work, which
is this year the 23rd of July. 1t has
been the custom of the board to adjourn
this meeting to the date of the regular
meeting of the board the first week in
August, but with the amount of work
on telephones in the state at present 1t
requires more time than formerly, and
will be looked after in meeting to
itself.
John Campbell, half-breed, indus
trious and well-to.do living on his farm
mile and a half from Pierre, is dead
as result it is claimed, of drinking
poisoned whiskey administered by two
white men. Campbell has two daugh.
tiers, and it is said that the white men
called at his home for the purpose of
making love to the girls. Their mother
was absent, but Campbell was at home,
and the men considering him in the
way, are alleged to have tried to get
him drunk. The whiskey he took did
not work fast enough to suit the white
men, and it is charged, they "doped"
it, Campbell soon lost consciousness
and never woke again. The coroner
had his stomach removed and sent to
the Minnesota anniversary for investi-
cation. In the meantime the suspected
white men are being kept under swell
lance, but no arrests have been made.
The supreme court in the case of
American Copying company VS.. Eureka
Bazaar company, in an opinion by Pre-
siding Justice Fuller, holds that no
action can be maintained to enforce any
contract entered into or recovery be had
in this state by foreign corporation
unless such corporation has previously
complied with the statute requiring It
to file copy of it's articles of incorpor-
alton with the secretary of state, and
appoint resident agent upon whom
service of process may be made This
case is one of widespread Importance,
touching on all business transactions of
corporations without the stats with
business firms or individuals within the
state. Many corporations have COM
piled with this provision of the statute,
but hundreds who do small amount of
business IN the state are affected by it,
as well as are some of the more heavily
interested who either do not know of
Its provisions or knowing, have failed
to comply with them.
AS the outcome of Adjt. Gen. Eng
lesby's trip to the city of Washington
a few weeks ago, this official has
received instructions from the war
department that he is authorized to
spend the sum of 81. 400 to take the boys
OF South Dakota National guard to the
regular army maneuvers at Fort Riley,
Kan. The sum also will equip the
soldiers Of a few things that they have
not the possession of now. At Huron
week ago the various captains of the
guard met and decided to go into camp
in Watertown about Aug. 10. 1t was
thought here by Gen. Englesby that
the time set was very poor one, mas
much as the G. A. r. national encamp-
ment starts in Minneapolis on Aug. Is,
and there are lot of the soldiers of the
state guard who would like to be in
attendance there However, the gen.
eral says that as that is the time they
decided on for holding the rendezvous
in WATERFOWL, that he would set the
date for leaving for Kansas at Aug. 10.
Therefore the soldiers will get into
camp about five days previous to that
time for weeks target practice, and at
the time for pulling stakes for Kansas
the boys will be in the best possible
condition.
