But Judges Ruling Making II Fifteen
Years Will Be Appealed From.
When is child in the State of
South Dakota immune from the com.
pulsory school law?
This is an interesting question that
will have to be answered by the state
supreme court for the parents of Lily
Mattson, defendant in a recent test
case Of the law before the county
court, will take their defeat to the
higher court. Judge Bennett of the
county court after much study, inter-
preted the law which reads "between
the ages of eight and fourteen years
inclusive" to mean that the child must
remain in school until fifteen years
old, but the Mattso1s' attorney be-
lieves the court erred and that the in
tention of the legislature was to hold
the child only until past the fourteenth
birthday.
Mattson has a large family and he
claims that to send the girl to school
would cause him to face starvation.

WAGE COUNTY SEAT WAR.

Special Election.

Some Of Charles Mix Towns Want
Special Election.
The county seat fight is getting to
an acute stage down in Charles Mix
county, notwithstanding the fact that
it is almost year before vote can
be taken. Some of the contesting
towns want the question put to the
referendum in special primary cleo
ton, the commissioners to submit the
question at the general election to the
town which secures a majority Of the
referendum vote.
Other towns do not see any benefit
in this They say the vote would be
useless expense, as the commission
ers could not act without the submits
sion of legal petition to them, and
that action would have to be taken
regardless of the primary vote; that
the vote IL taken in no way would
bind the commissioners, as it would
have no legal standing, and that .
petition presented by any other place
in the county would be what they
would have to consider.

Judge Garland Grants Writ SOUGHT by
Railroads.

Railroads.
AS the result of hearing before
him Judge Garland of the United
States court in Sioux Falls, an appli-
cation Of the various railroads con-
cerned, granted a temporary injunc-
ton preventing the railroad commits.
sioners from putting into effect pro-
posed schedule Of new passenger
rates, which would reduce the present
rate in South Dakota from cents to
1-2 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 been 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 H.
Stanley, secretary of the board Of rail-
road commissioners, defendants in the
case, and therefore they no longer will
appear in the case.

GOOD OLD YEAR LEAVES PROMISE

Page in History of State Is Evident in Financial
Transactions

The excellent financial condition Of
the people Of South Dakota was aptly
shown by the fact that the delinquent
tax lists printed this fall in the news
papers of the various counties of the
state we're the smallest for years. II
not the smallest in the history of the
state.
But further evidence, particularly
upon the financial condition Of the
farmers Of that portion of South Da-
kota lying east of the Missouri river,
is given by the record of farm loans in
the region Indicated. A single loan
agency of Sioux Falls has at the pres
ent time about s2,00O,Oo0 loaned in
that part of the state lying east of the
river. The 100000 represents loans
to about 1000 farmers scattered in all
portions Of Eastern South Dakota.
Upon this vast sum all the interest
has been paid but about $500, and this
will be adjusted within the next few
days, or in week or two at the most.

"RoPEs" BIG EAGLE.
Range Rider Uses Lasso to Catch
Bird as Il Leaves Ground.

Jack Mathieson, a Bad river range
rider, is in possession of an immense
eagle, which measures eight feet from
tip to tip of it's wings, which he CAP
tured several days ago with rope
without which no range rider ever
travels the country.
While riding along Bad river Math-
ieson saw the bird evidently asleep in
small hole, and started his horse
toward it in a rapid run. AS he drew
near. the bird aroused and started
to fly, but when 1t cleared the ground
the ever-ready rope settled over it,
catching around its neck and under
one wing. with no possibility of it's
getting loose. While it was ham,
pered by the rope it put up a fight
before it was finally tied so that it
could do not harm.
Mathieson says he has used his rope
to catch about every kind Of animal
to be found out on the range country,
but this is the first time he ever at
tempted to use 1t for catching a bird,
and has a new record for the range
riders to equal in their work.

tendent E. e. Frisk Of the Pierre city
schools, who vigorously protested
against dancing and social functions
by the teachers. Too much Of it, he
averred, units the teacher for duty.
1t Is the teachers business he main
tanned, to come into the school room
with clear mind and cheerful dis
position. This she cannot do, he con-
tends, II she keeps late hours. De-
spite the argument concerning the
teachers personal rights, he pro-
nounced the indulgences in social
pastime as harmful upon the school,
and therefore the teachers personal
rights do not outweigh reasonable
demand that she curtail these per-
sonal liberties for the general welfare
of the pupils and those who pay her
salary.
Prof. M. NJ Ramer, state superin-
tendent, also created some comment
by his declaration that many of the
