to Boston and Washington, where he
went on business for the state At
Boston certain evidence relating to the

gated. The Mcclellan estate is situated
at Sioux Falls, S. d., and valued at
$4,000 and is claimed by two sets of
alleged heirs of John Mcclellan, one
branch coming from Canada and one
from Arkansas. The supreme court at
one time decided that one of the claim
ants We're the rightful ones and that
the property should escheat to the
state. new trial was granted on
rehearin;s and it is now up to the legal
department of the state to sustain the
courts former decision If possible
AT Washington Mr.. Clark had a long
conference with the bureau of forestry
relative to controversies between the
state and national governments in re-
gard to forest reserve lands. In the
national forest reserve in the Black
Hills there are many isolated tracts
claimed by the state. The proposition
was advanced that. the state be given a
solid block of forest land in exchange
for the Isolated tracts claimed by 1t
and it is probable that settlement
will be made on that basis. The con-
ference resulted In a decision by the
officials of the bureau to call for a meet
ing of all the states interested in forest
reserve lands for the purpose of arrang-
Ing AN equitable settlement of the ques-
tons. This meeting will be called in
the near future at some central ctty in

COUNCIL LOSES
IN SALOON FIGHT
Sioux Falls Judge Decides tho
Council Can't Prevent Sale Of
Sandwiches i'm Saloons.

Sioux Falls. S. d.. Aug. 24.--Juds,
Jones, of the state circuit court. to
whom the case was appealed by Nogel.
has declared illegal the action of the
city council of Sioux Falls in revoking
the saloon license of r. Vogel because
he sold sandwiches in his place Of busi-
ness after the council had enacted an
ordinance prohibiting the giving of free
lunches by saloons
1t is held by Judge Jones that tho
city council had the power to regulate
and control the dispensing of free
lunches in saloons, but that before the
city council could exercise such power
conferred upon it by the law OF 1907.
allowing a council to Vacate a saloon
license for violation of Il city ordinance.
that notice must be given to the saloon-
keeper of such proposed action, and
It after such notice is given the city
council must receive such evidence as
is offered. give the saloonkeeper q right
to defend, and then take away his
license only after they have found. as
a matter of fact. that ne is guilty OF
violating the ordinance.
1t appears that in the case Of Vogel
the city council did not give him no
tice of the intention to revoke his
license. The case was the first of its
kind in this part of the state, or in
South Dakota for that matter, and has
attracted a great deal of attention.
