The Miller sun. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 190?-19??, 1907-04-13

on the que stion you ask is
contained in section 4.
This section reads as fol-
lows:
"This act shall not apply
to municipal, town, town
ship and school district
officers but may be adopted
either by a majority vote
upon such proposition at
any election held therein. :"
From this you will see
that the question of adopt
ing the primary law for
municipalities may be
voted upon at any
election in such municipal
ity. There is no provision
as to who submits the ques-
ton, nor what notice must
be given, but it would
seem that the question
may be proposed by any
one having an interest in
the matter and probably
the same length of notice
would suffice as is
given to the election of
officers. AS | have said
there is no express provis-
ION on this subject and no
particular formality would
be required. 1t is evident
that If a fair expression of
the people is had and a
majority are shown to fav-
or the primary law for
municipal purposes there
could be no question raise d
as to the formalities unless
there was such steps taken
as would prevent a fair
expression of opinion upon
this subject in the vote.
Yours truly, S. w. Clark.

Eighty-nine years old,
mind clear and body active,
Mrs. Catherine Dring will
drive in next week twenty
miles over the bleak prairies
to testify in court against
st. Lawrence township in
an action to collect 81, 800
principal and interest from
that town. With her hus-
band she loaned the town
ship 5000 in 1893. After
issuing the bonds the inter-
est was kept up pretty well
until two years ago when by
the discovery of some tech
nicality the township and
the town got to having over
the matter and both refused
to pay the aged widow
either principal or interest.
Suit was then started be-
fore Judge Gaffy and he
took the case from the jury
and awarded the old lady d
part of the amount. The
case was then carried to the
next term of court before
Judge Boucher and he also
took the case from the jury
and decided it wholly
against the aged plaintiff.
So this makes the third
time that she will ask the
law to compel the township
to give her back the money
that she had saved during a

life of hard work with the
expectation that the interest
would keep her in her de-
clining years. She is very
poor and lives with a son.
Hearing that her English
fighting blood was boiling
and that she intended to
bring another suit an agent
OF the town went to her and
offered her one thousand
dollars as a compromise If
she would drop it. With
much indignation she spurn-
ed the offer, telling the agent
that she would fight for
her rights to the last ditch
rather than accept such a
paltry sum. She now brings
the suit for money had and
received. j. III. Cole is at
torney for the aged lady
while Col. Bob Stewart and
John Pussy are for the
township. 1t is claimed
that the railroad is behind
the town in urging nom
payment to the widow in
order to lessen the taxes in
st. Lawrence village.
