Litigation Over Correction
of Old Survey.

Armour, S. D., May 27.-The case of
Vented Brothers against Isaac Clau-
son and wife, tried at the circuit court
last week Ia the city OF Armour, in
volved the question of the accuracy of
the survey of Belmont township made
by +. III. Antwerp of Yankton In June,
1907. +. =, Wanzer of Armour and G.
H. Dillon of Yankton represented the
plaintiffs. while c.. j. Kahn of Armour
and French & Orvis of Yankton rep
resented the defendants. The case was
vigorously contested on both sides, re-
sulting in a clear cut victory for the
plaintiffs. The case turned on the
question as to whether certain OLD
mounds testified to by the defendants
witnesses We're original corners or not.
The plaintiffs claimed hat they were
not and that there was no section or
quarter section corners in the interior
of the entire township.
Old Mounds Misleading.
There was no dispute but what the
survey made by Mr.. Van Antwerp was
interiorly correct in case the old
mounds claimed by the defendants
We're not original government corners.
The lines as indicated by these old
mounds were crooked lines and in this
particular case leaves the plaintiffs
from 80 to 40 acres short on their half
section Of land while the straight lines
contended for by the plaintiffs gives
each man in the township his land as
called for in the government patent.
The case has been long n bitterly
fought between the rival parties and
feeling runs high in the township. The
defendants state they will appeal the
ease TO the supreme court. This part

BUTTE COUNTY TO BE
DIVIDED INTO THREE

Camp Creek, S. D., May 29.-At last
the people of Butte county nave come
to an agreement of the division OF the
county. For some time there has been
need of a segregation, but the people
of the county could not come TO an
agreement on the matter. The people
on the sparsely settled ranges want to
be i'm a county by themselves lest the
people in the thickly settled parts vote
the herd law on them and curtail their
chief industry. A committee has de-
cided upon a division which, it is be-
lieved will be satisfactory to all sec
tons. A new county, Stokes" it will
probably be called, will be blocked out
in the northwestern corner. his will
make two other coupties in the south
and east of Stokes county, of nearly
equal size, named Butte and Lennon,
respectively. This will allow the people
on the ranges a county by themselves
and avoid conflict.
