LAWYER BENTLEY IS
FORCED TO DEFEND
CHARGE or Theft
Man Who Made Milbank Un-
Makes Himself Through Cues
tionable Mining Deals.

Milbank, S. D., Oct. III. Is. Ben>
ley, formerly of this place, but now OF
Minneapolis, has been arrested there on
a charge of larceny in connection with
sales of mining stocks and Is held in
bonds of $4,000. u,
Six years ago Lawyer Bentley, of
Milbank, was about the best known
man in South Dakota professionally
and politically, was a leader in his part
of the state and at n time a candl-
late for congress-. While Grant coun-
ty was a solid standpat county, Bentley
had such a personal pun that he turned
in a clear majority for Crawford for
governor. He brought out men for
county offices who were not previously
known outside of their W neighbour
hoods and elected them to Office, run
ming the whole political game to suit
himself.
b.. the law and politics We're too
slow for him. He must reach out for
game. He branched out into
the and business and did this in the
same big way he did everything
else.
He gathered together a large num-
Der of landseekers bound for Canada.
At Minneapolis he dined and wined
them at the leading hotel and his
over he hired a special car to take
them on their journey to the north.
He sold thousands of acres of land
and consequently made q bunch of
money. He brought it to Milbank to
spend. He purchased several lots on
Main street and started up fine store
buildings. He built a fine opera house
for the city, which was needed badly.
The dedication, November, 1906, was q
most elaborate affair and Bentley was
lauded to the skies for the good work
he was doing, Four more fine brick
buildings were erected during that year
and several old buildings We're pur-
chased and rebuilt. Bentley owned
half of Main street. His income from
these placed him on easy street.
Still Bentley "a not satisfied. He
must seek larger aelds-his friends
advised him to stay home and take
care of his interests. He built a fine
theater in California. He then came
east to Minneapolis n entered the
mining field. He solo stock in the
mine. Dividends were said to be paid
regularly and people bought easily.
The transactions We're large. His
friends said the end was In sight.
And in the meantime-all of Bent
ley's property was attached by a bank
for money he had borrowed and could
not pay
His fine residence was locked up
the doors barred. Everybody jumped
at Bentley. His arrest at Minneapolis
adds another chapter.

WOMAN SUES COMMISSIONERS
BECAUSE OF SONS DEATH

Sioux Falls, Oct. 17.-Mrs. Mar
garet Kohl, mother of a young man,
who last June was killed by the COL
lapse of a bridge near Sioux Falls
has Instituted an action against the
members of the M~innehaha county
board of commissioners, as individuals
and not as officials, by which she seeks
to recover damages in the sum of SIS
900 for the death of her son, who was
her sole support. The complaint sets
forth that 1t was the duty of the coun-
ty commissioners to see that the bridge
was kept in safe condition for travel.
The county commissioners will base
their defense on the ground that the
actual guardians Of the bridges are the
township supervisors, INC in support
of this contention they call attention to
the state political code, which states
that the board of supervisors in each
township is responsible for the condi-
ton of the bridges and highways of
the township. Whether or not this is
good law will be determined as the
result Of the damage suit.

CoRBlN MORSE MUST
PAY TAXES ON CATTLE

Pierre, S. D., Oct. 17.-The supreme
court has modified and affirmed the de-
cision of the lower court of Stanley
county in the case of Corbin Morse VS..
Stanley county, and George Poste as
treasurer. This suit was started by the
authorities of Stanley county Selling
live stock the property Of Morse for
taxes for the year 1904. Morse brought
suit against the county to prevent the
collection, and when the case came
up for hearing the county came in with
a claim for taxes OF live stock Of the
value of $780, 900 for all the years from
1898 to 1903, inclusive, as well as for
1904. The lower court sustained the
contention Of the county, but the SUI
prenle court has only affirmed the find
ing so far as 1904 taxes are concerned,
but the decision evidently leaves the
way open for suit to collect for all the
other years in which Morse was hold
ing live stock in Stanley county, and
If the county goes after the taxes
claimed for such years, they will I'M
doubtedly have a good case so far as
the actual value of property in the
county for the various years is con-
cerned. This decision will mean a.
great deal where cattle owned by a.
resident OF one county are held In
another county. The home of Morse
is in Pennington county, but a large
number of his cattle ranged in STAN
ley county. Justice Haney dissents
from the finding of the court.

Old time Inhabitants OF England had
decidedly sweeter tooth than most
kmoderns have. In Tudor days 1t was
the general practice to pour honey over
IN so many dishes Ito say nothing of
being mingled with the wine) that It is
on record that the teeth OF most people
were black in consequence. Most of
the old dishes would be TOO rich to-
