SEEK PROSECUTION FUND.
Parkston People Appeal for Money
Kaufman Case.

Now that 1t is practically certain
that the trial Of Mrs. Emma Kaufman
Of Sioux Falls, charged with murder,
will commence at Flandreau on June
1, the people Of Parkston, the former
home Of the domestic whom Mrs. Kauf-
mann is charged with having wantonly
murdered, are endeavoring to raise ad-
ditional funds for the purpose Of pay
ing the special attorneys who have
Men engaged by them to aid in the
prosecution,
Some time ago the people Of Parks
ton raised the sum Of $500 by popular
subscription for use in connection with
the prosecution Of Mrs. Kaufman,
nut this now is about exhausted, and
tie most important period in the pros
ecution Of the accused is near at hand.
An effort was made by Parkston peo-
pie to have the board of county com
missioners Of Hutchinson county ap-
propriate the sum necessary for the
payment Of the special attorney, but
the board now has refused to appro-
pirate a single dollar.
The Parkstonites accordingly have
issued a public notice asking the peo-
pie Of that place and adjoining towns
to contribute such sums as they can
toward the fund for the payment OF
the special attorneys. Practically all
Of the money secured in this way will
go to the members of a law firm at
Logan, Iowa, who have been engaged
by the Parkston citizens committee to
aid States Attorney Alpha F. Orr OF
Sioux Falls in prosecuting the case
against Mrs. Kaufman.

SADIE met with a peculiar failure here
yesterday when a jury declined to

chased and hid outside the saloons
while the purchases were being made.

State News of Interest
NEW RANGE LAW VOID AS OLD.
Attorney General Calls BOTH Statutes
Unconstitutional.

Unconstitutional.
Since his return from his Califor-
MAN trip, Attorney General Clark has
been busily engaged in clearing up
work Of his department and among
other opinions which he has given are
several which are OF general public
interest.
Attorney General Clark holds that
the law of last winter which attempts
to continue the free range until wiped
out by a vote of the people of coun-
ty is unconstitutional, as well as was
the old law. In a recent case before
the supreme court on that question
an attempt was made to raise con
stitutionality. but the court lodged the
issue. as 1t was not necessary to de
eide that point to pass upon the case
at issue.
The question of license money is
one which is agitating a number OF
the smaller towns under the provision
Of the law Of last winter, which limits
saloons In towns with less than a
thousand population. That law limits
one saloon to each 800 population, but
allows two saloons in a town of any
size. The question as to the number
Of saloons allowable in such a town is
the one at issue, and in this the at
torney general holds that three is the
limit, IL for each 800. This would
give a town with 900 population three
saloons, but if it could scare off ten
more Of population they could license
any number they desired.
The attorney general holds that
der the sidewalk law of the state the
charge for such improvements is to
be against the adjoining property"
which properly would make it a
charge against the property owner, in
stead of the general public.

Ed Davis, the man who escaped

was sentenced from Fort Pierre about
ten years ago on a charge of murder.
being given a life sentence. Davis
came to Fort Pierre with a bunch OF
horses and disposed of part of them,
starting east with the rest, selling
them along the road.
While at Fort Pierre, Davis talked
too much, and after he left there some
Of his talk was repeated, resulting in
his arrest at Miller. He was brought
back to Fort Pierre, and after a little
Investigation it vas learned that
Davis left Rapid City as an employe
OF Nels Carlson. a Wyoming man,
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 c. Il OF the horses, and
claimed that he killed Carlson In self.
defense, in a fight, and took the
horses. He told where he had buried
the body of Carlson, and a searching
party found the remains at the spot
he named. The only wound on the
body was that Of a bullet which en-.
tered the back of the head, and the
self-defense theory did not look good.
Davis then admitted the killing, and
was given a life sentence. About a
year ago he applied to the state board
of pardons for communication of sen.
tence to eighteen years, but the ap.
plication has never been acted upon
