SECOND APPEAL OF LARCENY
CASE Is SUCCESSFUL

Mitchell, S. D., Jan. pa wholly
new turn has been given a case Of
grand larceny from Lyman county by
reason Of the creation OF two new
judges on the state supreme bench, ac-
cording to the notice received here
Thursday. In June, 1907, a young
man from Lyman county by the name
of Pirkey was tried and convicted at
Oacoma for the crime of receiving 21
head Of horses, knowing them to be
stolen from a ranch in Nebraska. He
was sentenced by Judge F. B. Smith to
the ~penitentiary for three years. His
attorneys, Preston & Hannett, of
Mitchell, made application for a new
trial, which was denied. An appeal
was then taken to the supreme court
which denied the application also, by
q vote Of two to one. An application
was then presented to the supreme
court, which. in the meantime, had
been increased to five members, for a
r~e-hearing. The notice received here
shows that the new members Of the
bench have reversed the decision and
vacated he sentence and judgment.

FILINGS HELD UP
ON THE RESERVATIONS

Pierre, 8. D.. Jan. 25.-The state land
department has begun to make its se-
lections Of indemnity lands on the
Cheyenne river inc Standing Rock
reservations. While they are picking
the tracts on the plat which their
field men slected last fall, there is a
question as to just when they can file
upon them. A letter from the general
land Office admits that the lines Of ex-
listing land districts in that part OF
the state are so vague that the mat
ter of location Of the lines will have
to be settled before the filings can be
placed upon record, which probably
means until the LAND district for the
handling Of these lands has bea~ estab-
lished.

steaders who, have maintained their
residence on their lands in this part of
northwestern South Dakota this winter

which usually 10 experienced In this
region during the winter. Those who
reside in board shacks'' with nothing
but kerosene stoves to furnish heat
have suffered the most. Coal has been
