There is every reason 10 believe
that the South Dakota Central con-
templates extending its road beyond
the boundries of this city at an early

the road is to be extended either
northward 10 Grand Forks or to some
point in a uorthwesterly direction. At
any rate there is no likelihood that
Watertown will be the terminus of
the road many more seasons
At present thousands of ties are be-

FAMOUS DANIEL BLAKE RUSSELL identify
CASE DECIDED AGAINST NORTH DAkO7AN
Greeted With Jees and Cat Calls and Claimant Car
red on Shoulders Of His PartsansJudge Ignored Material
Facts in Reaching Conclusion

Cambridge, Mass, April 12.-The
claim Of Daniel Blake Russell of
Dickinson, N. D., to one-half of the
estate Of the late Daniel Russell Of
Melrose was not upheld by Judge
Lawton in probate court today.
Judge Lawton declared the ranch
man to be Jim" Ruseau, the French
Canadian from the Adirondacks, who
disappeared years ago. The court
room was in an uproar at the deci-
sion. thousands gathered outside, and
when the verdict was announced it
was greeted with Kisses and cat calls.
Dan Russell and Senator Leslie simp-
son were calm under their terrible
disappointment. The big ranchman
stood up at the end of Judge Lawton's
decision and as the judge swept out
of the court room his sympathizers
surged around. He was carried on
their shoulders into the street and
there cheered by the big gathering.
The fight has only beegun," said
Attorney Simpson. Until the sun
grows cold and the skies fall and the
leaves of the judgment book unfold,
l shall fight for Dan Russelrs rights.
Nothing can Withstand the avalanche
Of truth
The ranchman appeared to be
dazed. Though thousands bespoke
their determination to stand by him
to the end. 1t was bitterly disap-
pointing to hear the words that
brands him an impostor.
When Judge Lawton begun his ad-
dress today the very first sentence
sounded the doom Of Dan Russell's
fight. He said the weight OF evidence
was decidedly against the claimant.
He pointed out that the experts had
made statements regarding the Rus
eau letters that they could not prove.
Regarding the forgeries, the ACCUSE
tion Of expert Hamilton was un-
founded. He defended Eugene Upton,
saying that Attorney Simpson had
"maliciously maligned" him. In de-
claring the claimant to be Ruseau,

household affairs at his fathers home,
