MONUMENT FOR MElLET1E
South Dakota's First Governor to be
Honored by watertown Old
Soldiers With Monument.

Watertown special: Veterans Of
Watertown, prompted by a desire to
erect 4 monument that shall stand
as a memorial from the entire state
as we'll as a tribute of their admira-
tion for Arthur T.. Mellette, their
former comrade and first governor Of
South Dakota, have decided to sell
the property Of Freeman Thayer
post,.G. A. r., which consists Of a
lot and hall in Watertown. With
the funds thus realized and aided by
an appropriation that will be sought
from the legislature this winter,
and private contributions, they hope
to erect a statue in the court house
square in Watertown. Plans have
been perfected and the design for the
monument selected, ana all 0
that remains to be done is to raise
the funds.
This sacrifice of the Waterfowl
veterans recalls the sacrifice which
Governor Mellette made to the state
at the time Of the Taylor d%efalcation
In 1895. He had accumulated a
small fortune, which was practically

tied up in real estate he owned in
niue counties 1t was the period of
Gtouth and panic, but even then his
property was estimated to rave been
worth from 500, 600 to $4,000.
The governor was one of the sure-
ties on Taylor's bond when the latter
defaulted in the sun of $50, 900.
Owing to various business deals, the
property, practically in its entirety,
was decided in trust to one Griffith
OF Boston, although the deeds had
not yet been recorded. When Taylor
became a defaulter, Governor Mel
lette realized that he would be called
upon to make up a portion OF the
shortage. Griffith could then have
had his deeds recorded and the gov
eInor could have saved his property.
His attorney, it is said. advised him
to take this course.
NO said he, Il have worked
for South Dakota too long to take
anything that should be hers"
He folio we'd out that plan, turned
over 10 Coe i. Crawford, attorney
general, all his property, which was
appraised at about $40. 900, without
litigation, and assisted in securing
judgments against himself and other
bondsmen. He gave to South Dakota
all that he had and left Watertown
penniless, to begin life anew at
%PittbsuIg, Kan, where he died on
May %, 1906.
