CRAWFORD NOT IN THE RACE
Announces He VIII Not Permit
Use Of His Name for
Senator.

PIERRE. s. D., Dec 25.-(Special. )-Un-
less all political signs fail, the attempts
from different sources to stir up a contest
on the senatorship at the coming session
will be of no avail. The positive announce
ment OF Coe l. Crawford that he will not
allow the use Of his name for that posi-
tion at the coming session is in line with
the policy OF the man, who believes that
pledges to the people are the first consider
alton of politics, and then standing on the
record OF promises carried out to go on
with other matters which require ohicial
attention. While that is the position Of
bfr. Crawford for himself. from several
sources the discussion continues One Is
from the old-time opponents Of Crawford,
who hope to dangle tempting enough bait
before him to stir up strife; and the other
source is that Of the old-time insurgents,
who wish to place Crawford in the SEN
ate as soon as possible, knowing that It is
hoped ultimately to land him in that posi-
tion. But the members are generally
pledged, and when IT comes to a showdown.
unless something more potent than has yet
developed can be thrown into the canvass
when the ballot on senator is taken the first
vote will settle the question, the only op-
position being in the few democratic votes
which will be cast for some man Of their
own selection for the place.

FILING OLD DEED CAUSES STIR
Covers Thirty Acres in the Heart Of
siOuH Fails, south
Dakota

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. 2.-SOme ex-
element among the property owners af-
fected has been caused by the hling Of a
O-year-old deed in the ONCE Of the register
Of deeds In this city, conveying thirty
acres OF what now is a thickly- por-
ton OF Sioux Falls.
The warranty deed bears date Of June g.
1859, and runs from James L. Fisk Of St
Paul to William Mcmahon OF st. Paul. The
old deed conveys an undivided one-half in
terest in the thirty acres in question, the
tract being situated in the southeastern
portion Of the city. now known as Gales
addition to Sioux Falls. The handsome
government building, worth about 10000,
is situated on the thirty-acre tract
There is an interesting history Of pioneer
days in connection with the execution Of
the old deed. In 1851 the Dakota Land
company OF ST. Paul sent out an expedition
which had for its object the locating OF a
number Of townsites In the then territory
Of Dakota. Their principal objective point
was the falls OF the Big Sioux river, where
they expected to locate a town.
At the same time the Western Land
company Of Dubuque. Ia, sent out a similar
expedition, with the falls OF the Big Sioux
as the objective point. The Dakota Land
company located the town Of Medary, then
the locaters came south and located the
town of Flandreau. Upon reaching the
present site Of Sioux Falls they found
that the Wetstern Townsite company OF
Dubuque had beat them out" so far as
Sioux Falls was concerned, and had a town
located.
John L. Fisk, the conveyer of the thirty
acres in the deed. which has just been re-
'orded, was a member Of the Dakota Town
site company. He was not to be beaten
entirely, so he located Fisk's addition ad-
Joining the town of Sioux Falls on the
south. What became of Fisk Is not known.
Early day history tells of his coming to
Sioux Falls with the Dakota Townsite COM
pany and Of his locating Fisk's addition.
Some time later Artemus Gale, a pioneer
resident OF Sioux Falls and now one of its
wealthiest citizens, through script located
Gales Sioux Falls which contains prac-
tically all of the thirty acres which the
Fisk deed conveys.
What the parties who have just filed
the old deed expect to gain after the old
deed was permitted to slumber quietly for
nearly half century remains to be seen.
