TAX FERRET CASE
STILL IN COURT
Property Owners Fail to Beat It
by Argument in
Demurrer.

Sioux Falls, S. D., April AIS. H.
Wright, attorney for the plaintiffs, has
been officially advised by Judge Trip,
Of the state circuit court of the First
circuit, who was called in to hear the.
case in place of Judge Jones, of Sioux
Falls, that he had overruled the de-
murrer to the complaint in the case of
r. e. Pterson and c. d. Savage VS..
Minnehaha county. This is known as.
the tax ferret case. The county COM
~missioners, it is alleged, engaged
Messrs. Pierson and Savage 10 make an
investigation as to back taxes which
never had been paid, and they entered
upon the work, finding a great deal OF
property, largely in the form of mort
cages, upon which taxes had not been
paid. The ferrets finally were dis
charged by the county commissioners
and the ferrets instituted an action in
the circuit court to recover a certain.
per cent Of the back taxes which they
alleged they had unearthed. The county
filed the demurrer, in which the claim
was made that the board of county
commissioners had exceeded it's author
ity in engaging the services of the fer
rets. In his decision on this feature of
the case Judge Trip holds that the
commissioners were vested with power
to employ the ~ferrets, and hat the
commissioners could not legally dis
miss them without their consent or
compensation" The extent and liabiI-
ity of the county will have to be deter
mined by a future trial.

hall by some of the students, n in
an effort to obtain admittance and
learn if any Of the girl students were
present, President Cook was assaulted
by several of the boys, and finally,

the building.
Following this President Cook ex-
acted from all the students at the in
Stitution a written pledge that they
would not in the future attend any
dance not authorized by the school
"hfe they remained students, nor fire.

students except seven signed the pledge

for the sake of discipline, the sus-
pensions being deemed permanent.

pupils have taken steps to appeal from

sALLlNGER GRANTS ROAD
RIGHT OF WAY TO TOWN

Belle Fourche, $. D., April 21.-Con-
trary to expectations, Newell, the new
government town east of here, will get
a railroad. In a decision just received,
Secretary Ballinger grants a right Of
way and a station site at Newell to
the Belle Fourche Valley railroad,
which will go through the town.
Some months g the railroad ran
its survey through the townsite and
then applied for a right of way. Com
missioner bennett, Of the general land
Office, refused the request on the
ground that there was no authority
for such a grant. The company APP
pealed from his decision to the secre-
tary.
That there was little hope of secur-
ing favorable action was shown by the
fact that some weeks ago the engi-
neers of the railroad ran q second
survey, this time some miles south Of
the town of Newell.
