Crouch Line In Litigation.

Three suits for damages resulting in
,he collision of the motor car with a
freight train on the Crouch line on 0c
tober 3rd, 1907, were filed Saturday, says
the Rapid City Journal Of Sunday morn
ing. The motor car was in charge of e.
l. Hurlburt and was loaded with seven
teen passengers. The freight was OBJ
served short distance ahead just as the
motor car rounded a curve, but, on ac
count of it being down grade and the
brake on the motor car refusing to work
properly, the motor car "skidded" into
the rear of the freight. Mary Platt, aged
nine years, with her mother and two
other children of the family, were on
the ill-fated motor ear, on their way
from Boulder, Colo to this city, where
the husband and father, Milo +. Plat,
was residing. In the wreck, little Mary
Platt received injuries from which she
died the following night, George Patt
received a double fracture of the right
leg below the knee and Mrs Platt was
more or less bruised and injured
number of legal steps were neces-
cary in order to bring the snits. The
Crouch line is in the hands of receivers
and because of that it was necessary to
get an order from the court permitting
the filing of the suits. Milo Platt, the
father, was appointed administrators of
the estate of his daughter and guardian
of the son.

estate of Mary +. Platt, deceased, asks

$4,000; Milo +. Platt, as guardian Of

Jewel Cave National Monument.

A letter received last Thursday from
Judge c. +. Smith, formerly of Custer
but now residing in Omaha, states that
he had recently received a communica-
ton from Washington, advising him
that the government has, or is about to
withdraw from settlement certain lands
in Hell's Canyon which embraces the
Jewel Cave, and that the property now
known as Jewel Cave will be set apart,
dedicated and maintained by the gov
ernment as the Jewel Cave National
Monument" The Game Preserve"
which was advocated some time ago will
not be established. The area to be
withdrawn embraces about 1880 acres,
and will in no way interfere with land
in that locality which in the future
might be taken as agricultural lands.

The filing fee required of candidates

The filing fee required of candidates
is fifty dollars for candidates for United
States senator, congress and governor.
Circuit judges, secretary of state, treas
urer, railway commissioner state land
commissioner, state superintendent of
instruction, must each put thirty dollars
for the privilege of filing their petitions
with the secretary of state. The candi-
dates for attorney general will be called
upon for fifteen dollars each while the
candidates for lieutenant governor and
national committeeman must each put
up fee of five dollars.
In the county list the filing fee requir-
ed is fifteen dollars from candidates for
treasurer, sheriff, register of deeds, the
candidates for county judge, states at
torney, clerk of courts, superintendent
of schools, must pay ten dollars each ;
candidates for the legislature must pay
five dollars. Constables, Justices OF the
peace, delegates to the state convention,
or member of the state central COM
mittee must pay fee of one dollar
each
The makeup Of the ticket to be voted
at the primary is generally defined to
require all candidates for the same office
to be grouped together, but the arrange.
ment of theif names in groups is in no
way specified as to order in which they
shall come, and the county auditors will
probably do this as in the past in ar
ranging the ballot for general election,
place those which they chose at the head
Of the list Some of the tickets will no
doubt have the names Of the candidates
placed alphabetically in the group in
which they belong, and in other in.
stances, certain names will be placed
first in the group.
When the county and state conven.
tions meet after the primaries their
principal duties will be to declare those
who have been selected at the primaries
to be the party nominees, aud to an
nounce the party platform for the cam
paign. In case candidate for any par.
ticular place on primary ballot receiv-
es thirty per cent of the vote cast, then
it becomes the duty of the county or
state convention to select candidate for
that place, in which they are limited to
the names placed upon the primary bal
lot in making their selection, which
would give any particular faction which
might control the state convention, an
opportunity to place its candidate upon
the ticket in case no one had the requir-
ed thirty per cent of the vote.
The above are the principal features
OF the law condensed, but when put in.
to practical operation, it will probably
be the first law of the length to which
it has been drawn, which does not show
some structural weakness which will
have to be braced before it carries out
all which it is expected of it ia the way
of securing direct nominations by the
people.
