ENJOlNS SOUTH DAKOTA.
Judge Garland Grants Writ Sought by
Railroads.

AS the result of a hearing before

States court in Sioux Falls, an appli-

cerned, granted a temporary injunc-
ton preventing the railroad commits.
sioners from putting into effect a pro-
posed schedule of new passenger
rates, which would reduce the present
rate in South Dakota from 8 cents to
PIP cents per mile.
The temporary injunction succeeds
a restraining order which was secured
by the railroads last October, just
prior to the time the railroad COM
missiOners sought to put the proposed
new rate into effect. The temporary
injunction will remain in force until
the hearing on the main case, when
the railroads will strive to have the
temporary injunction made perma-
nent. The date for this hearing has
not yet zee fixed.
Judge Garland sustained demurrers
to the action of the railroad companies
in making S. w. Clark, attorney gen
eral of South Dakota, and William II.
Stanley, secretary of the board of rail-
road commissioners, defendants in the
case, and therefore they no longer will

Other towns do not see n beneft

that action would have to be taken

Pioneer Prospector's Death Probably
Result Of New Years "Jau."

Lying face upward in a creek Of
water scarcely two inches deep, the
dead body of Bishop Mann. an old
time prospector and pioneer at Spear
fish, was found by a resident early

while celebrating the end of the year
and to have fallen over the bank. AS
he was unusually feeble it is supposed
that he was unable to either summon
help or get out and was frozen to
death during the bitter cold night.
Mann was a resident here since the
middle of 1876, when he came here
from Montana after losing a fortune
In the merchandise business. He will

in New York state is unknown.
