Attorney General Clark holds that

the old law. In recent case before

additionally, but the court lodged the
issue, rs 1t was not necessary to de-
eide that point to pass upon the case

one saloon to each 800 population. but

limit, one for each 800. This would
give town with 300 population three
saloons. but u It could scare or ten

While at Fort Pierre, Davis talked

Investigation it was learned that

driving a bunch OF horses. and that
the horses Davis was selling were the
property Of Carlson.
Davis at first denied any knowledge
Of Carlson, but afterward admitted
The fact Of his leaving Rapid City
with the owner of the horses, and
claimed that he killed Carlson In self
defense, in e light. and took the
horses. He told where he had buried
The body of Carlson, and q searching
party found the remains at the spot
he named. The only wound on the
body was that Of bullet which en-

self-defense theory did not look good.
Davis then admitted the killing, and
