jutting out toward Salem Willows, and
is within a shor distance Of the bust
ness part of the city of Beverly. 1t is

JUDGES DECREE
GIVES CLAIMANT
TITLE TO FORTUNE
Last Official Act of District
Judge Restores Title to
1900 Acres.

Armour, s. D., April 10.-The last Of
Acial act OF Judge E. G. Smith Of the
First circuit, before assuming his place
on the supreme bench, was to sign a
decree in the case of Cole vs.. Churchils
conveying to Geo. D. Cole, now or
Brooking, but formerly Of this place,
title to a one-half interest in about
1,20o acres Of land In Chas Mix county
county In the vicinity of Wheeler.
Cole and VIM. II. Burt We're in
business together, first at Lake Benton,
Mimi, n later at Wheeler in the
ranching business.
At the request OF Mr.. Burt the title
to all h Wheeler lands was placed in
the name of Edwin f. Churchill, a
nephew Of Burt's. All was well until
Burt left Wheeler and Cole wanted title
to his half of the lands. A little later
Mr.. Burt died and then Churchill
claimed to be the absolute owner OF the
that Mr.. Cole started the action in
1902.
1t has been q hard fought case with
Mr.. Wanzer as attorney for the plain
tiff, and French & Orvis of Yankton,
as attorneys for the defendant. The
odds We're heavily against Cole by
reason Of the fact that owing to the
death of his former partner, he per-
sonally, could not testify to any trans
action or conversation between them,
and Is no books had been kept after
going to Wheeler and no settlement had
ever been had between the partners,
1t was a heavy handicap to have to
prove.
The case has beer tried before the
Judge at chambers in Yankton, at five
different times, resulting in a complete
victory for Mr.. Cole. the final decree
giving him what he asked for in his
original complaint.

MINERS DEMAND The
UNIONS RECOGNITION

Coal Operators and Men
Strike Is Not Probable.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 9.--Prelim-
mary to their meeting this afternoon
with the representatives of the coal
operators, President Lewis, of the Unit
ed Mine Workers Of America, and the
officials Of the organization in the three
anthracite districts of Pennsylvania
held a conference this morning.
Neither miners or operators would
venture q prediction as to the probable
outcome of the conference. Both sides,
however, claim to be willing and arx-
ious to come to an amicable agreement.
The zone of contention, it is said, is
recognition of the miners organiza-
ton, The miners assert that only as
representatives of the organization can
they sign an agreement binding more
than 10000 men for a term of three
years. The operators are quoted az
saying they will absolutely refuse to
recognize h miners union. 1t is
thought the miners will eventually
waive the demand for recognition of
the union il other concessions are
granted.

years expired March 81. 1t provided
for a Cancellation board by which all
differences were adjusted. 1t is under
stood that at the conference today the
miners will seek to have this phase oil
the award set aside and the board
abolished in order that the mine griev-
ances which arise from time to time
can be settled at the places at which
they originate. 1t is claimed that by
/; this method the differences can be more
| quickly settled.
