CHIEF OF POLICE
C0Rb|TT DENIES
HE IS To RESIGN

Rumors to the effect that Chief of
Police Michael Corbitt is to hand in his
resignation at a meeting of the Police
Commissioners late today have been
rife In police circles for some time.
Chief Corbitt denied the rumor abso-
lutely. He said he would not resign
while he was able to perform his duty.
Rumor has it also hat the fight FOR
his place, if he quits, would be hotly
contested. Among the four most prom
inent candidates are Captain William
Carroll, in charge of the detective bu-
reau: Captain Michael j.. Ryan. of the
First Precinct; Captain Peter J.. Chris
tie. of the Third Precinct, and Sergeant
Thomas T. Connell, of police head
quarters.
Chief Corbitt was emphatic in his
denial of there being any foundation
for the report.
1T is the same old story" he said,
"and there is no. more foundation for
it now than there has been in the past.
/ have no intention of r~esigning at
the present time, nor for some time TO
come. l am on duty here for about
fifteen hours out Of every twenty-four,
which goes to show that l am fully
competent to do the work. and in addi-
ton to that, | am protected by the
veterans act"
1t is confidently believed that at the
meeting today Officers John Harris and
Dominick Tenore will be raised to the
rank of sergeant. Both OF these men
have lone excellent work since becom-
ing attached to the detective bureau
and the promotion is one of which they
are in every way deserving.

Court House-Fines Paid In Pen
MES.
Grant county claims to be the rich
est agricultural county in the state.
1t is in excellent financial condition,
and its residents believe in paying
off what little Indebtedness there is
against it. At the late election, bond
ing the county for a new court house
to cost $4,000 was defeated. There
were those who believed the county
should be out of debt before bonding
the county. They voted the propo-
siticn down by a small majority.
Those who favored the proposition
will endeavor to keep the matter be-
fore the voters in the proper light.
Since August 1, ovet SIS, 900 of real
estate mortgages have been paid off
and in twenty-six days, during Octo-
Der, $27 900 of chattel mortgages were
paid Off. This is only an illustration

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

Gov. Crawford has issued his
Thanksgiving proclamation for Thurs
day, Nov. 26, the proclamation being:
I'VE are in the midst of a beautiful
autumn. Small grains and fruits have
been gathered; the thresher has CON-
pleted his work; in a few days the
great corn crop will have been crib
bed, and the winters fuel supply laid
in. There is enough for all and to
spare. The laborer is employed, the
tradesman is 1%ourishing, the farmer
is prosperous.
Our schools and colleges are filed
with eager students. Moral and spir-
itual forces are at work. Our people
are enjoying good health. Peace and
plenty abound. Our beloved state has
taken a high place in the sisterhood
which constitutes the greatest repub-
tic in the world. How fitting it is that,
with all these reminders of His riches
and grace we should give all praise
and gratitude to that bountiful Provi-
dence from whom all blessings flow.
In harmony with the proclamation
of the president, l, Coe /. Crawford,
as governor Of the State of South Da-
kota, do hereby designate and set
apart Thursday, the Goth day of No
vember, 1908, as a day of ~Thanksgiv-
ing and prayer.
Let us not be vaingloriOus. While
the human nature is endowed with
much that ~justifes the saying that
man is created in the image of his
maker, we too often witness acts Of
passion, violence and m~alevolence
that show o narrow a margin be-
tween the human and the brute. The
frenzy of the mob, the lawlessness Of
the night rider, on one hand, and the
riotous living Of many men and wom-
Ell of wealth IN the other, disclose ten
denotes fraught with the greatest dan
ger of society. The simple virtues OF
honesty, purity and piety; the main
tenance Of the family and home, and
the rearing of children in the love Of
God, those are the things that count
for vastly more than all our material
wealth.
II recomend that the people Of the
state on the day above named, in the
spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving,
in the homes and houses of worship,
give grateful Acknowledgement to the
Almighty for His kindness and guild
ing care during the past year.
I'm testimony l have hereunto set
my hand and caused the great seal of
the State of South Dakota to be af-
fixed.

LAW is VOID.
City Has No Right to Grant Franchise
to Telephone Company.

The opinion of Judge Garland OF
the United States court, before whom
was heard the case Of the City of
Huron VS.. the Dakota Central Tele-
phone company, has been received.
The case involves the right of the
City of Huron to compel the telephone
company to remove its wires and
poles from the streets and alleys of
the city at the expiration of its fran.
chise.
In his opinion Judge Garland holds
that the telephone company was given
its franchise to maintain lines in the
state by the legislature of South Da-
kota, that the City of Huron has no
legal right whatever to grant to the
telephone company a franchise and
that the City of Huron has not the
power either to refuse of allow the
company to place poles and wires up
on its streets. Also that this fran
chise, which the City of Huron had
granted to the Dakota Central, CIV
ing them the use of its streets and
alleys for a period of ten years, was
a nullity and an illegal proceeding.

THE VOTE sY COUNTIES.
Returns on Vote for President and
Governor.

There are but few corrections in the
table OF voters on heads of the ticket
by counties. What changes they are
tend to inc ease Taft's lead instead of
diminishing it, and Vessey is also
holding his own well round about IT,
900 majority.
Inc state is more strongly Repub-
lean than at the last election, when
state legislators were chosen, and the
party will probably have an increased
majority in the state legislature.
The Democrats have elected prac.
tlcally the same number of state sena-
tors as last time, but the increased
representation in the house gives the
Republicans a still longer lead. The
Democratic state senators will come
from Aurora, Brule, Buffalo, Charles
Mix, Davidson, Edmunds, Hand, Ly.
man-Stanley and Pennington.
Late reports indicate that Granville
Jones, running for the state senate in
pennington county, has been elected,
though he was first reported beaten.
1t was definitely ascertained last night
that the Republican candidate for the
senate in Charles Mix was defeated.
h. Republican majorities were increased
by later returns from Brown county,
showing a lead there for Taft of about
1000, and for Wesley of about 500.
Minnehaha gives Taft the biggest ma
jority, and Lincoln is the only one to
give Wesley a majority. of more than
1000: Some of the smaller counties
gave Wesley a much larger percentage
of the vote, however.

TO CHOP UP BUTTE COUNTY.
Scheme to- Make Three Separate
Counties Of Big Tract Carries at

Counties Of Big Tract Carries at
Polls.
There were some surprises in the
votes on county division and county
seat removals, which were up before
the people. In Walworth county the
change was made from Bangor to
Selby, because ali local ~jealousies had
been healed, and there was ne n
left at Bangor 20 make a fight. The
change was almost unanimously de-
sired and was made easily. In Hutch
inson county, Parkston was foiled in
her ambitions by local jealousy at
Trip, and lost by a little over a half
hundred votes. In Charles Mix coun-
ty, the local fights between the differ
ent railroad towns for the past four
years appears to have left many sore
spots which developed into gangrene
on election day, and for another four
years the county seat will remain at
Wheeler, down On the river ten miles
from the only railroad through the
county. In Lyman county the people
by a heavy vote refused to sanction
the removal Of the county seat from
Oacoma to Presho, and that town need
not worry for another four years. Up
to the present the result of the fight
between Fairfax and Herrick, in Greg
Dry county, is not known.
On county division the vote in Ly-
man county was almost as decisively
no as it was on county seat removal,
the majority of the voters believing
that they were better off under one
county government than they would
be under two. While there are no Of
fetal figures available on the Butte
county division proposition, it is unof-
fcially reported from that county that
the three county di-ision proposition
has carried, and that largest county
in the state" will have given way on
that honor to Stanley, which will not
be cut down for at least another two
years.

PREVENTED FROM VOTING.
Farmer Is Charged With Grave Of
Tense at Election Polls.

A sensation has been created in
Mcpherson county by the arrest of
John lesser, a prominent farmer Of
that county, on a serious charge, pre-
ferred by Peter and Paul Scherman,
sons, of a neigh5oring farmer. lesser
lives in what is known as the Hoffman
district, and on election day the poll
ing place for the district was at his
home. The Scherman brothers went
there for the purpose of voting, but
before they had an opportunity to vote
they became engaged in a dispute
with lesser. The latter, it is alleged,
became so enraged that he seized a
club and refused to admit the brothers
to the house, thus preventing them
exercising the right Of franchise-a
serious offense under the laws Of
South Dakota.
