COUNTY CAPITAL
INVOLVES RIVALS
indian Brothers on War Path
Over Location Of Seat Of
County OF Trip.

Dallas, s. D., Nov. 1.-The county seat
fight in Trip county has reached the
injunction stage. Members Of the Trip
county board OF supervisors and Audi
tor Hamigan today were served with
a temporary restraining order issued by
Judge Robert Trip, Of Yankton, pro-
hibiting the issuance of the official
ballot with only the name Of Winner
as a county seat candidate. The hear
ing on the restraining order is set for
November 2 at Yankton.
Two members Of the board. John
Weaver and Ed Colomb. are said to
have held q meeting at which the rec
ord was made that Winner is the only
town entitled to q place on the ballot,
thus placing Lamro and Colome at
marked disadvantage. Auditor Haili-
and action as legal and refused to GER
tify an official ballot In conformity
with this idea. 1t 10 claimed that the
two members of the board then pro-
ceeded to get out the official ballot on
their own motion. It Is the claim OF
Lamro and Colome boosters that all OF
the county seat applicants failed to get
applications with the board in time to
get on the ballot, the statute fixing a
limit of Is days prior to election. Under
this contention, the Colome and Lamro
advocates ask that all towns be left on
the ballot and voters be required to
write in the town Of their choice. Feel
ing has been aroused In the fight In a
general way and this has been inten-
siffed by the action Of the supervisors.
Ed Comb, one of the board members.
concerned in this action, is a brother
of Chris Colomb, one of the wealthiest
Of the Colome boosters. Both are In
dams AS a result Of the alleged double
cross from his brother, Chris Colomb Is
on the war path with the avowed in
tention of making fight medicine"
when he meets Supervisor Colomb, his
brother. From now until election day,
the county seat fight will wax warm
regardless of the form OF the ballot.
The Lamro and Colome forces hav.
practically pooled issues in opposition
to Winner. The latter town, by virtue
of its location in the center Of the
| county and being on the railroad ex-
| tension, has been generally regarded as
| the future county seat. The present
| county seat, Lamro, Is only two miles
| from Winner and 1t is assumed that
| Lamro will eventually have to sur
render on account of being missed by
| the railroad extension. More than q
dozen special automobile parties will
| open an active canvass Of Trip county
today, representing the three towns In
the county seat fight, and the activities
will not cease until the last tap has
been sounded on election day.

Not only did James S. Sanborn, the
Pukwana banker. say this to the wom-
| federal court for breach of promise, but
according to letters submitted In the
| trial in federal court here, Jimmy
| became real sentimental and continued
his epistle as follows:
"You are so kind and very thought

lowing evening and check for same In

well. With lots of love, JAS"
A laugh was provoked at the ex-
pense of A. p. Kittredge, attorney for
the defendant, by the contents OF an
other one of Mr.. Sanborn's letters to
Miss Bay, in the course of which MT
Sanborn stated that he would rather
take her advice than that Of any law
yer In South Dakota. That the law
yers out here were all poor ones.
In another letter, Mr.. Sanborn pro-
posed that he should take the lior
by the tall etc, and Joe Kirby
caused a ripple of suppressed excite
ment by remarking that Mr., Sanborr
was getting into British politics. In
that letter.
Later in the course of the examina.
ton Miss Bay was asked to tell of thu
conversation which occurred between
herself and Mr.. Sanborn when he hat
advised her that he could not MARI!
her.
The witness stated that he said t
her at that time:
"Oh. ella, cannot marry you.
SIN not At to. / have lied to you

Miss Bay also detailed her connection
with the Sanborn- Carpenter Brul
ranch at Pukwena and told how Mr.
Sanborn had repeatedly kissed her.
