'FLAGRANT VIOLATION" SAYS
ATTORNEY GENERAL.

On June 5, 1906, the attorney gen.
eral Of the United States, under the
Roosevelt administration, made final
report to the secretary of the interior,
in which he said:
'These cases appeared to present
fragrant violations of the public land
laws, and the failure of the Govern
ment to secure indictments can only be
explained by the unusual political sit
uation in South Dakota and the strong
partisan feeling resulting therefrom."
