though it be in a small way, is in

man is entitled to the credit of TAX

calling, but the man who steals from
his employer in a small way, or en-
beetles a banks funds on a large
scale, is not entitled to even the cred
it of taking chances with the high
wayman with whom he should be

money than he earns, whether he be
a banker, a clerk or other employe,
is frequently found to be stealing
from some one else. AT first he doubt

such funds, but plans miscarry and

of small funds is a lesser criminal

THE SUPREME COURT DECISION
AS TO THE RANGE
LAW.

A Pierre special says: The dccls-
ion of the supreme court in the case
| of George Moore VS.. Per Person was
brought into the supreme court to
test the old laws which gave a differ
ent trespass code to the west side OIL
the river than that which prevailed
on the east side of the stream. When
the case was up for argument the
| attempt was made to secure a ruling
OH the constitutionality OF he stat
ute in question, but the decision OF
the court is based on the fact that
when the statute was passed proVld-
ing for free range west Of the river
it specifically named a number of
counties in which the law was to be
effective. a later enactment attempt
ed to apply this same law to any I'M
organized counties in the state as
we'll as counties organized after 1885,
but court holds that so long as spe-
| cific territory was not named, the law
could not be made to apply to Lyman
county, the county in which the suit
was brought. The decision would al
so effect Stanley as we'll as Lyman
and portions Of Pennington and
Meade counties. The counties which
were included in Butte county I'M
der the consolidation act, were spe-
cially named and such decision would
would not apply to that county.
But this decision has been practi-

should be held good by the supreme
court on test. TIE new law apply
ing to all counties of the state, and
allowing the people of any county
who so desire to secure the submits
sion to a vote of the people of the
county, the question of free range CT
herd law. This enactment was Sc
cured as a compromise between the
~contending forces from west of the
river, one side desiring a complete
wiping out Of the free range, and the
other desiring it to be continued, and
the results of the present situation
indicate that the stock interests got

der the present decision of the SUI
preme court their privileges would
be at ar end at the present time
while under the new law they hold
their privileges until a vote is taken,
and take their chances on being de-
feated.
In the meantime petitions are be-
ing circulated in Lyman county to
bring the matter to a vote at a spe-
cfal election to be held for that pur-
pose and the settlement of the ques-
ton in that way. The stockmen and
all say the settlers are getting the
best of them by chasing their stock
with dogs, and keeping them on the
run most of the time. Although it
now looks as If the different factors
of the situation will soon leave the
country to the farmer and the dairy
rllan, and the range steer will be seen
no more in South Dakota.

Wolves have been doing consid-
cradle damage in this section lately,
and there is a feeling among some
of the cattlemen that the services OF
a good wolfer or two would be a
paying investment. While out on
the range, south of O'Connor's ranch,
the other day Jim Davis met a
wolfer named Howe, from the Little
Missouri country, who at the time
was engaged in digging out a couple
of dens, from which he secured four
teen young wolves. These wolves
had already killed several colts and
calves, and in a few days more
would have played havoc with stock
in that vicinity.-Belle Fourche

Trip Passes May Be Issued.

b new anti-pass laws Of Nebras-
kan and Iowa are identical. They
permit the issuance to railroad en-
|ployes regularly and exclusively en-
!ployed by the company. The conten-
ton has been that local attorneys and
surgeons employed only incidentally,
but have heretofore been receiving
PASSES were barred. However, the
attorney general of Nebraska now
holds that trip passes may be issued
to attorneys, surgeons or other en-
|ployes of railroads who do not give
their full time to the service of the
road, and for the particular trip
made in the service Of the company.
Under this rule a railroad may en-
ploy an attorney at a local point to
DO some specific thing and 1t may
Issue him a pas over the line to
serve him in the performance OF
his commission.
The Nebraska ruling is based on q
decision Of the Interstate commerce
commission deciding a case of the
same kind. It held that 1t did not
sconstrue the law as preventing q
carrier from giving necessary free
characterization to a person travelling
over its line solely for the purpose OF

Coming out of the Confederate Army
after the surrender at Appomattox, he
entered the drug business in Rich

two of the handsomest and best APP

Bridge Nearly Finished.

1t now seems very probable that the
new bridge connecting Eastport with
Annapolis and spanning Spa creek,
will be finished the early part of next
week. The bridge is the most expen-
isve of the kind ever built in these
parts. Its completion will mark a
great event in the history of Annapolis
and Passport and will unite these two
communities more closely. The Exam
liner this morning fittingly suggests
that the Inauguration of the new bridge
might be made a special feature of the
Firemen's Convention.
The Examiner says in part: Moth
ing that the county has in recent
years done will do more TO foster a

chance may spring desire ON the part
of the 'Eastportans' to adopt the nicer
term 'Annapolitans' and cast their

TO VISIT EXPOSITION.
The Midshipmcn May Take II In On The
Summer Cruise.

Although ii has not been officially
announced. il is thought probable that
the midshipmen will have an oppor-
tunity Of visiting the jamestown Ex-
position grounds when they take their
summer cruise in June.
The summer cruise viii extend along
the New England Coast. Arrangements
are now being made at the Academy
for the cruise. which will begin about
June s. The cruiser Olympia, flagship
OF Admiral Dewey at the battle Of
Manila Bay, is expected to reach the
Naval Academy in few weeks. She
will be the flagship of the cruising
squadron.
Several models .of machinery and
apparatus from the marine engineering
and naval construction building az the
Naval Academy are To be sent to
jamestown TO form part Of the naval
exhibit at the Exposition. Among
the pieces that viii be placed with
the exhibit are the model Of float
ing drydock similar 10 the Dewey
dock and also model Of the ordinary
drydoek at the different naval sta
lions.
