Charles Sylvester, a Junior in the
high school at WATERFOWL, was drown

FIGHT OVER LAND OFFICE.
TWO Towns Are After Part of Rapid
City Business.

wv y oWHS are AIteF, Fart OF RAPID
City Business.
Three towns in the western part of
this state all widely scattered, are
arrayed in a three-cornered fight to in
fuence the government with regard to
the establishment Of new land office
in that part of the country.
The scrap commenced when citizens
of Aberdeen started through the north
ern part of Butte county petition
asking that the present land district
at Rapid City, which takes in every
thing up to the state line, be divided
for the convenience of the new set
tiers. But this did not meet with the
approval Of the town of Lennon, and
its manner, George E. Lennon, the
stockman, started out with counter
petition asking that Lennon be chos-
en- instead of Aberdeen, If division
were made.
Rapid Cityites are contesting both
propositions on the ground that a di-
vision would require new set Of
books to be copied and mean heavy
expense to the government.

In and About the State
IN. e.' ON LIQUOR LICENSE.
Supreme Court Ruling is New Blow TO
"Wet" Dealers.

Supreme Court Ruling is New Blow to
"Wet" Dealers.
While South Dakota is not classed
with the prohibition states, the rulings
of the supreme court on the existing
liquor law, are such that it is prohibit
ton In all places where an annual
vote in favor Of license has not been
secured. In a case from Kingsbury
county about a year ago, the court
held that a vote taken in favor of L.
cense was only good for one year; that
it had no effect after that time had ex-
pired. This decision put the liquor in
terestss at a great disadvantage in the
state.
The court has ruled that a license
granted by the county commissioners
to sell liquor at any place where a ia
vorable vote has not been secured, is
no defense against prosecution for
illegal sale Of liquors. J. T. McIlven-
ma, secured a license from the commits
sioners Of Lyman county to sell liquor
at the town of Reliance, and when
prosecuted for illegal selling, he
brought in his license as a defense.
This the court holds is no defense
whatever. The plea that it was impos-
sible to secure such a vote because
the town nor township had an organ
ization, is held to be no further de-
tense, as such fact cannot be used as
a mitigating plea. Prohibition, in fact,
prevails in the state unless the proper
legal steps are taken to set aside, there
prohibition must prevail
This ruling will hit the liquor inter-
ests hard in the newly settled counties
where it has been the custom of the
county commissioners to grant H.
censes in the new towns where there
is no organization whatever, and the
sale is going on in number of such
places. Any Of the parties so en-
gagged are liable to prosecution at any
time, with fine or Imprisonment as a
penalty, and an additional penalty,
optional with the court, forever de-
barring the seller from securing an
other license in the state.
Another phase of the business has
been raised in Sphinx county case
now pending in the supreme court
and again raised in the circuit court at
Pierre last week, where it is contend
ed that wholesale house which sends
a travelling salesman into the state is
an outlaw, unless it first has secured
a license in the state, which none Of
them have done. Just how the cou.t
will rule on that question is not
known, but If they uphold the conten-
ton it will be another blow to the
business.

Thief Finds Diamond is Paste, but Act
Is Grand Larceny.
Michael Dagan, Familiarity known as
Mickey" is Disguised. He was ar
rested last summer for stealing from
a companion diamond scarf pin val
ued at $50. In the trial at Watertown
before the circuit judge two Water
town jewelers., both diamond experts,
testified that the stone in evidence
was paste and worth less than dol
lar. The states case Of grand larceny
seemed badly shattered. So were the
nerves Of the complaining witness,
who had identified the "diamond" as
his valuable stone. while Mickey
cursed his poor Judgment for getting
himself into SO much trouble for q
paste diamond. The court held it
grand larceny, however, since. the arti-
Gle was taken from the person Of the
witness.
