THE AUDITORS SALARY.
County Commissioners May Pay
$500 Saws Supreme Court

$500 Says Supreme Court.
In the action of the supreme court
in decision by Justice Smith In the
case OF county Of Brookings VS.. P. J.
Murphy, question was settled which
IS OF more than passing interest to
The auditors of all the larger counties
OF the state. At practically every
legislative session attempts are made
to fix salaries of county auditors, al.
ways bringing on a contest between
the larger and smaller counties, the
larger ones wanting a higher salary,
ana the smaller ones a low salary.
At the session of 1903 bill was
Drawn which was expected to cover
the differences by fixing a general
maximum salary of $1,000 a year but
allowing the boards of commissioners
IN counties with over 10000 popula-
ton to allow salaries up to $1,000 at
their discretion. P. J. Murphy, as au-
dltar of Brookings county, was al
lowed $1,000 a year for two years,
and when a new states attorney was
selected he declared the salary to
have been Illegally paid, and sued to
recover the alleged excess amount of
5000 from Murphy, his contention be-
ing that the law under which the sal
airy was paid was unconstitutional on
the grounds that it attempted to dele
gate legislative power to county COM
! missioners. The lower court held
| against the county, and on appeal the
o aI
ing of the lower court, holding that
the commissioners were acting under
| statute which provided a fixed man
| ner OF computing salaries Of county
auditors, and that it did not delegate
legislative power, and that the COM
missioners of Brookings county were
in their legal rights in their action,
Justice Whiting dissenting.
The supreme court also affirmed the
lower court Of allowing a minor to
enter and remain in a saloon which
he was operating at Clear Lake. 1t
appears that band from neighbor-
ing town went to Clear Lake to play
for political meeting, and after the
meeting was over they played at sew
eral different places in the town,
among them the saloon of Johnson.
Some of the members of the band
were minors, and suit was brought re-
sulting in a fine for Johnson. He ap-
pealed from the decision Of the lower
court and the supreme court in an
opinion by Whiting sustains the low
er court, Presiding Judge Haney dis
senting.

MILWAUKEE EXTENSION.
Building on From Rapid City Into thu
Belle Eourche District,

The many rumOrS recently in cir
culation as to projected railroad ex-
tensions in western South Dakota has
caused considerable speculation as to
the route the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul railway will take in building
out Of Rapid City. While there has
been no definite announcement Of
the Milwaukee's intentions the fol.
lowing from the Range Gazette, pub
lished at Camp Crook in Harding
county, about 100 miles northwest Of
Rapid City, is self explanatory: Last
Sunday two auto loads of Milwaukee
railroad officials headed by President
Earring arrived in town from Bowman.
They are looking over the country
with view to connecting the Rapid
City line with the coast extension
Crook will be on the map in big let
tiers. This preliminary inspection is
for route from Rapid City into the
Belle Fourche irrigated district,
thence into the Little Missouri Valley.
The course will then follow down the
valley either to Marmath or out
through SO gap and northwest. Con-
struction will probably start soon, as
a line can beelaid out" This route
is practically the only feasible one for
a north and south route in western
South Dakota. Natural water courses
are practically followed all of the way
and the territory traversed is for the

cAPTOR OF JOHN BROWN DIES.

Maj. |. c. Green a Victim of Heart
Failure at Age of Eighty-five.
Maj. Israel c. Green, aged eighty
five, died at his home two miles east
of Mitchell of heart trouble.
Maj. Green was a Confederate vet
eran, having served with the Vir
gln1a troops. Before war was de-
clared, however, he was an officer in
the United States navy, and was the
officer who captured John Brown at
Harper's Ferry.
Maj. Green at the head Of a small
body Of men located Brown in a house
where he was hiding. The majors
orderly was shot dead as he entered
the house, and the major with sword
in hand Immediately forced an en-
trance, only to be confronted by
Brown, with a smoking rifle in his
hand.
Green ordered Brown to surrender,
but Brown refused, whereupon the
major struck him blow over the
head with his sword, stunning him.
His men then bound the unconscious
man, who was taken into captivity
Shortly after the famous capture,
Maj Green espoused the Confederate
cause, and after the war, in 1879,
came to South Dakota, where he took
up government claim, upon which
he has lived quietly ever since.

having worked for several years on a

at first denied any knowledge of the
man, and declared that he was in no
way related to either Of them, Mrs.
Folker finally admitted that the dead
man was her half brother, but as

Richard Hite Mourned as Dead, His
Father ':Positiveiy'' identifying Re.
mains as Those of Son.
Richard Hite, young man working
on the farm of F. S. Rowley, in Perry
township, near Mitchell, has had the
novelty of being mourned as dead nv
his parents, the father having posi-.
lively identified his body in Kansas
City, Mo-, and took it home to Heath.
KY, for interment
1t is a mysterious case of mistaken
identity. A dispatch was received in
Mitchell Thursday evening from tbe
Kansas City Star stating that a young
man was killed in Kansas City MAY
8; that the body had been positively
identified by the father, J. w. Hite
of Heath, KY, and that the body had
been shipped to Heath for interment.
Richard Hite is a young man who
came to Mitchell from Heath, XIV.
some time in February, and shortly
after his arrival in Mitchell secured
position as usher in the OLYMPIA
moving picture show. He remained
there for a couple of months, and re-
signed the job to work for F. S. Row
ley On his farm in Perry township.
The young man has not been out of
the country for the past month, and
consequently could not have been in
Kansas City at the time of the MUIR
der of the stranger.
Bernley Hite, brother of Rihard,
is employed at the Milwaukee lunch
counter rooms. In conversation with
him today he stated that he had re-
ceived several letters and kilograms
from home making inquiry as to the
queries, and he fails to understand
why the matter has not as vet been
Strengthened out. Mr.. Hite said that
he talked with his brother at the
Rowley farm over the rural distance
line recently, and he knows him to
be alive and WELL
Mr. Hite said he could not under
stand how his father could be so mis-
taken over the identity of his son, and
he hopes that after the letters he has
written to Heath will clear I'D the
mystery SO far as his brother is con-
cerned.

Principals In Claim Raid Ending in
Two Deaths Must Serve Terms.
Ed Kennedy, Thomas Kennedy,
George Isbell, Chris Paulson, John r.
Johnson and Walter Booi were re-
Gently released from the county Jail
Of Valley county, having served the
term imposed upon them for compile
ty in night raid in July, 1908, which
resulted in the death of John Hayes
and his daughter. Booi, who turned
states evidence, was sick while in
jail, and died soon after his release.
This case, which attracted wide no.
tice, grew out Of accusations of claim
jumping preferred by Walter Long
and Milo Long, who lived about eight
miles north Of Culbertson, against
John Hayes. The testimony showed
that the Longs collected several
nelghbors, armed them with guns of
various kinds and visited the Hayes
place about midnight one night in
July, warning Hayes that he must
move. The next night practically the
same crowd again visited Hayes.
Hayes had armed few neighbors
for his defense, and in fight which
followed he and his daughter were
killed. Sixteen men were suspected
OF having a hand in the raid, and, re-
markable to relate, all were either
convicted or pleaded guilty to the
charges preferred against them.
Walter Long was found guilty Of
murder in the second degree and was
sentenced to thirty-fve years impris-
onment. Milo Long was convicted
of murder in the second degree, and
the jury fixed his penalty at thirteen
years Imprisonment. The other four
Teen defendants pleaded guilty to a
charge of riot, and were punished by
sentences ranging from few months
to two years.

lives in Madison, consisting of his
father, five sisters and two brothers,

This fortune Gregor had taken out
Of his mines at Circle City, Alaska.
In fact, it was he and partner
named Berry, who first discovered
gold at Circle City, and started the
great rush of miners to those diggings
in the early 'nineties"
Mr.. Gregor left Mitchell twenty-one
years ago without his fathers knowl
edge or consent going to Seattle,
where he worked several years. Then
he skipped on boat bound for Alaska
and made his way to the place now
occupied by Circle City, where he
made his lucky find. He was single
man, and letters from him were few.
His mines would easily have yielded
much more, but he did not care to
take out more than he needed, saying
it was in safer bank in the mines
than he could put it in.
Gregor's father is more than eighty
three years old, and one of the pio-
neers Of this county. The Office of
county surveyor has been held by
him over twenty-five years.

The association owns fine park

RACES WITH THE SHORT LINE.
Gilmore & Pittsburg Surveyors Are
Still In the Lead.


Reports reached Dillon of siren
uous race on between the Gilmore &
Pittsburg surveyors and the Oregon
Short Line surveyors to reach the
Salmon river canyon, south of Sal
mon. This canyon Is the only pass
out Of the Salmon river country to
The coast, and there is room for but
one track through the eighty miles
that will have to be traversed along
the river, and much heavy work will
have to be done to construct even one
track
The Gilmore & Pittsburg surveyors
passed through Salmon two days
ahead of the Oregon Short line sur
veyors, but it is reported that the
latter have caught the former and
passed them Saturday.
However, the Gilmore & Pittsburg
people have the advantage in that
they have engaged the services Of
Harry Gulke to take their surveyors
through the Salmon river rapids by
oo"1' g Vel uouS ldkluS
at any time of the year, and especial
ly SO at this time, when there is high
water.
Gulke is the only man In Lemhi
county who knows the rapids of the
Salmon river, and 1T is doubtful
whether the Short Line people will be
able to find any other person who
would undertake the journey this
spring.
