NINETY-EIGHT THOUSAND ONE
HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS
BOUGHT PROPERTY.

Tuesday was day in which much
interest was taken in the affairs of
the Crouch Line, as that was the
late for its sale. The upset price
was $4,000, and it was rumored
that there were to be three bidders.
This proved to be the case. The
Nastern bondholders were represent
ed by Louis Rozenzweig, of Erie, Pa,
md he proved to be the successful
bidder against c. D. Crouch and the
Johnson Brothers, of Geddes, 8. d.
There were many who hoped that
Mr.. Crouch would secure the road,
interesting the local creditors with
him. Others were in hopes that the
Johnson Brothers would be success
iul, as they have money Of their own
to put into it and make it a sue

charge, however, and it is now fear
ed that none of the Rapid City cred

on her mind. At about three she
left there telling Mrs. Buren, that
she was going down to see Mrs. Le-
yak. She never appeared at Mrs.
Levak's home, and this was the last
seen of her. A circumstance that
seems to indicate that she did not

WOMAN DISAPPEARS.

So far as has been learned, she
has not been seen since she left Mrs

been case where this custom and
party pledge was violated.
AS they are pledged, and it is
known to whom they are pledged
there is no uncertainty about the re-
suit. which is merely formal ratifi-
cation of the choice of the people.
Certified copies of the returns of
these electoral colleges are then sent
to Washington, are there turned. over
to the president of the senate, on
the first Wednesday in February, in
the presence of the senate and house
sitting Jointly, and there counted.
AS this is merely the official count of
the vote already counted Informally
and known, this is mere formality.
There are some other Interesting
facts connected with the election of
president that are not generally
known. Men holding places under
the government are not permitted to
act as electors. In 1897 it was dis
covered after the electors were an
pointed that North Carolina, New
Hampshire and Connecticut had Sc
lected electors who were deputy
postmasters. A congressional com
mittee, headed by Henry Clay, held
that their votes must be rejected.
1t happened that Van Buren, was
elected regardless of these votes,
but it might easily happen In close
election, that some mischance would
defeat the will of the states. Also,
the constitution requires that the
electors shall meet on the same day.
In 1857 snow storm kept the Wis
consin electors from meeting until
the day following the appointed date.
The Georgia electors have voted
twice on the wrong day. In none
of these cases did the irregular votes
count, and in none did their loss
change the result. The states, and
not the people, elect the president.
Thus, while in part the electoral
representation is based on popula-
tion because there is one elector for
each congressman, in part it is based
on states rights" because there is
an elector for each senator, and each
state has two senators regardless of
its size.

revenge in attacking his course in

purchase of some of the land.

lone no wrong and never tried to
over up any of his acts. He said he
rried to buy timber land and found
abroad grantees holding the lands
Illegally and they refused to sell. He
earned that only the government
ad the right to bring suit to force

bill providing for forfeiture of the

ELECTORS CAST BALLOTS.
Result Will be Canvassed by Con-
grcss Next Month.


Washington, Jan. 11.-William
Howard Taft was elected President
of the United States by the electors
who gathered today in the capitol
cities of the various states to cast
their votes for president and vice
president.
Although the returns will not be
canvassed by congress until next
month, it is confidently anticipated
that Taft and Sherman have been
successful in today's election.
The principal business before to-
days sessions of the state electors
was the selection of messengers to
carry the news to Washington. Each
state selects such messenger, and
in most of them there have been
many candidates for the honor.
According to the law the state
electors, at today's sessions, will ef-
feet their own organization, select
their presiding officer and tellers,
cast their votes and select from their
number the messenger to carry a
copy of the results of their vote to
| be delivered to the speaker of the
house of representatives. Two more
copies will be forwarded by mail, ac-
cording to the constitution of the
United States. Congress, having re.
ceived all of the electoral votes from
all the states passes on the result.
