MAY REFERENDUM
THE new MEASURE
AGAINST TREATING.
Liquor Dealers to Start Petition
Business Men Favor the
New Law.

Huron, s. d, March 23.-Claiming
thai II is freak legislation and that the
measure cannot be enforced, tho South
Dakota liquor dealers are said to be
preparing to referendum the new anti
treating law enacted at the recent ses-
sion or the legislature, n which be-
comes effective July 1.
While admitting hat there is some
thing novel in this new plan OF con-
trolling the liquor traffic, the prohibit
tionists are enthusiastic in proclaiming
the law to be one of the most natural
temperance measures aver enacted in
any state, and they are said to be pre-
pairing for the. literal enforcement OF
the provisions OF the law.
The suggestion that anti-tTeating So
cletles De formed to give the force of
sentiment In favor of the law appears
to meet with favor, large numbers of
drinking people favoring such a move
ment. 1t is pointed out by this class
that the system of treating has become
q nuisance In that IT has become So
cially impossible for q business man
TO go into a saloon and take a drink
withou either treating or being treat
the result being that whereas only
one drink was wanted, a practice well
nigh approaching the conditions of a
code. DEGREES that there shall be from
two to many and various drinks guzzled
down. BY a large class of business
men feeling this way, the anti-treating
law Is hailed as q relief and they will
gladly take part in steps looking to it's
thorough enforcement.

BOWEN TRIAL Is ...
ON AT HIGHMORE

Highmore, S. D., March 23.--On the
10th OF March at Highmore, s. D., be-
gan one OF the most sensational muir
der trials ever had in the state OF
South Dakota; and second in import
ance only to the famous Kaufman
case.
1t is the trial of Aurelius Bowen for
h murder of Katherine Kille in
Stanley county, on Dec. 2, 1907; John
l.. Hughes OF Ft. Pierre, and O'Brien
& Johnson Of Highmore prosecuting
and Gaftey & Stevens, Of Pierre, for
the defense. -
This is the second trial of the case
former trial being held at FIT, Pierns,
in July, 1908; the jury disagreeing.
Miss Kille was q h~omesteader living
Twelve miles south OF Fit. Pierre, and
AureliuS Bowen was a rejected sutton.
He had prosecuted her with his atten-
tons for some time, and on the night
previous to the killing had stated that
he was going over that night to get
his answer, and did not care whether
1t was yes" or mo- =.
The case of the state is entirely cir
cumstantial, consisting of statements
made by the accused, his actions. and
the fact that he possessed a revolver
Of h same calihre as the bullet found
In h head of Miss Kille.
No other motive but jealousy could
be assigned for the crime, as no yio-
lence was offered her person, and she
had money and jewelry in the house
that was undisturbed. Bowen, imme-
diately upon hearing of her death went
to Fit. Pierre looking for an attorney
and at all times refused to look at the
body of the murdered girl.
Bowen was formerly a resident of
Smithland, Ia, where he, several years
ago, attempted to murder another girl
under similar circumstances, at two
different times; both times being pre-
vented only by the interference of
other parties. One Of these attempts
was with a revolver, and the other
with a butcher knife.
The case has been running for three
days and will probably AXE from a
week to ten days, there being more
SO witnesses in attendance and
there being frequent legal battles over
the introduction of different parts Of
the evidence.

WILL DETERMINE
PERCENTAGE DUE
COUNTY TREASURER

Aberdeen, s.. D., March 24-The
commencement Of what may be an in
teresttng lawsuit was taken by the
Aberdeen school board at it's last meet
ing, when it instructed it's attorney to
file a claim with the county commis-
sioners of Brown county for the sum
of $17,308.92. This sum is claimed by
the board to have been illegally re-
tained by the county at different times
since 1890, out OF moneys collected by
the county for the district. The county
since the rear named has retained 4
per cent of the money! collected for the
different school districts. as it's share
for collecting. Recently the attorney
Tor the school board, in looking through
the statutes, found a clause which pro-
vides that the sum charged for such
collections by the county shall be / per
cent instead of 4 per cent. The differ
ence between h amount the county is
to under the 1 per cent charge
and the amount it retained is $17, 3OS.S /,
and the school board will endeavor to
recover this amount If possible.

new LAW PLACES
BANK RECEIVERS
WITH HAS BEENS"
Active Officials Also Barred
From Making Loans From
Their Own Banks.

Madison, s. d.. March 22.-In ex-
code on banking passed by the recent
legislature, Public Examiner John l..
Jones calls attention to important and
wide reaching reforms in the banking
business that were scarcely noticed by
the public when the bill went through.
The measure was drawn in accordance
With the recommendations of Examiner
zones, who is recognized as n of
the most efficient officials the state has
ever had. Mr. Jones explains the new
iaw as follows: -.,
THE new law does away entirely
With receivers for failed banks. In
stead they are handled entirely by this
department, which has the power to
appoint any number of deputies needed
TO do the work. It is provided that
these deputies shall be allowed only So
per day, to include expenses as well as
compensation, and this is not enough
inducement to cause them to allow a
Teceivership to hang on. The change
will mean quicker discharge Of receiv-
ershtps n at q lower cost. .
Heretofore some of the active bank
officials OF the state have experienced
some difficulty in distinguishing thei
money from that OF the bank. A
;hange in the code makes il unlawful
49, ~SAS SNNA y 1OAAC AAAOASy
from II. This does not prohibit the d.
rector, who may be engaged in numer-
ous other business, from being treated
rs any other customer. :
up to this time the banks could
carry their reserve any place they
might wish. Under this freedom, 1T
SO happened that chains of banks were
developed, the reserves were passed.
around and the same money did re-
serve duty at various points. The de-
2artment was powerless to stop the'
practice until now, when it must APP
prove the selection of reserve agen-
cies.
Hereafter banks may not receive as
deposits more than 10 times the amount
Of their capital stock. This will en-
courage banks to bring up their capital
and 1t will also assure q reasonable
margin for the protection of deposit
>rs.
The new law marks the end of the
I5, 900 bank in South Dakota, ii being
the day when they should
be permitted in sparsely settled por-
lions Of the state has passed. We, of
could not reach the $1,000 banks
in business. But it was pro-
7ided that hen their deposits become
than 10 times their capital and
they must increase their capt. !
!al to $40, 900.
1T is provided also in the amend
nents made to the law that at least
directors Of each pank must live
the county, where ii is located. This
IS expected to make ii easier to get to-
the directors of small banks"
Examiner Jones says he has heard
very little as to whether the banks
will AXE advantage of the deposit guar
lntee law, as most of the bankers have
lot seen the law.

PRESHo MAKES BID
FOR COLONY BUSINESS

& Presho, S. D., March 24.-The busiS
ness men of Presho are making prepaS
rations for the Chicago Rosebud colony
that will soon take up homesteads in
Trip county. The secretary of the
Commercial club has been in Chicago
explaining to the association the adj
vantages Of coming to Presho to go on
to the land. He expects to go back in
a few days and bring the people with
their families. Contracts and agree
ments have been made to take care Of
all the people coming this way and to
give them the very best rates. The
business men submitted prices for the
necessaries of claim life such as lum-
Der, paints, hardware, groceries, etc,
that are even lower than the Chicago
mail order houses. The prices for liv-
cry, freighting, locating, ETC., nave been
put down to a very low rate, and as
Presho is the nearest railroad town to
the best lands in Trip county. there
Is no reaso why Presho should not get
her share OF the homesteaders.
