Homesteaders Are in a Row.

Lamro, S. D., May 14-Special to
The News: There is something of a
row on just now among Trip county
homesteaders over the proposition Of
organizing the county June /. Cover
nor Wesley has issued decree to this
effect, but the Homesteaders' associa-
ton has taken steps to petition the
governor to rescind his action. Some
of the individual homesteaders do not
agree with this action on the part of
the association.
Following is the letter being sent
out by the association:
The Association Letter.
Dallas, S. D.-Dear Sir or Madam:
We wish to call your attention to a
matter of great importance to every
homestea1er Of Trip county. and hore
yci; will carefully read he following
First-On or about March %. 1909,
there was petition circulated in
Trip county for the organization of
said county, by the so-called residents.
1t is very apparent from reading their
| petition that great many of the
signers were not legal voters or even
residents of the county.
Second-On March 81, 1909, upon
learning of this petition to the COVER
nor, there w9s meeting of home
steaders called in the city hall at
Dallas, s. D., and petition to Cover
nor Wesley signed by about 250 home
steaders asking that the organization
of Trip county be postponed until
fall, thereby giving the homesteaders
voice in the election of county Of
ficers and the location of the county
seat which every tax payer ought to
pc interested in. But Governor Yes.
sey had already signed the proclama-
ton calling for an election for the
organization of Trip county to be
held on Tuesday, June l., 1909.
The homesteaders then organized an
association for the benefit and mutual
welfare of the homesteaders, electine
Fred H. Crosby president, G. A. S
Hewlett vice president, II. A. Kent
secretary, and Fred Hawksworth
treasurer, and employed A. j. Wilcox
OF Gregory, S, D., as counsel to take
this matter into court and set aside
the action of the governor and en-
deavor to put off the organization OF
the county until fall when the home
steaders will have a vote at the cleo
ton.
This takes money and we have prac
tically no funds to carry this through
the courts and secure the necessary
evidence to support our claim that
Governor Wesley was misled in issu
ing proclamation that is absolutely
void and fails to comply with the law
If you will send us one dollar Il
will enable us to go on with our fight
Immediately. There is no time Il
lose; you can see that. We have only
about thirty days to tie up this cleo
ton.

Nine. Montraban was fascinating
