A. Ludlow, a prominent grand army

1t was sworn out some days ago
by Col. Thomas HI. Brown, also one
OF the most prominent veterans of
the civil war in this part Of the

diatelv owing to the fact that Capt.
Ludlow had not returned from a trip
through the east following his at
tendance at the national encamp-
ment OF the G. A. R., held at Atlantic
Civ.
The commencement Of the criminal
libel suit is the elimination Of an
enmity between the two men which
his existed for many years, and which
some years ago resulted in the origi-
nal G. A. r. post Of Sioux Falls being
divided into two pest. with Col Brown
a prominent figure in one of the posts
and Capt. Ludlow in the other. The
criminal libel suit is based on an
article which Capt. Ludlow had print
ed in a local newspaper some months
ago, and which referred to the war
record of Col. Brown. Capt. Ludlow.
soon after the serving of the warrant,
appeared before Judge Wheelcck and
waived his preliminary hearing. fol-
lowing which he furnished bonds In
