SUSTAIN STATE PRIMARY LAW
Illinois Supreme Court Declares Act
Observation-Disclosures Opinions
Are Handed Down.

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. 22.-The gu.
preme court held the legislative pri-
mary act providing for the nomina-
ton of members of the lower house
of the legislature valid in a decision
handed down in the case of Espey VS..
McInerney and others.
Three opinions were handed down
by the court, as the members are di.
"ided as to the Interpretation of the
act.
Justices Vickers, Cooke and Farmer
have handed down an opinion that
the law is unconstitutional because It
delegates power to the senatorial com.
mittee to fix and determine the mum.
Der Of candidates to be nominated By
a political party.
Justice Hand holds that the legisla,
ture has authority to confer on the
senatorial committee the power to de-
termine the number of candidates that
should be nominated and that it was
not authority merely to advise the
voters.
Justices Cartwright, Carter and
Dunn in their opinion say that the au-
thority conferred on the senatorial
committee merely Is advisory and
that their action fixing the number of
candidates is not binding on the voter
and may be disregarded by the voter
and that whenever three candidates
are voted for three may be nomi-
mated.

The Last Stage Coach

Lead-With the letting of the coh-
tract for the carrying OF the Unit
ed States mail over the Spearfish-
Whitewood route, in order to effect
the saving of couple of hours time,

the abandonment of the famous old
Deadwood coach, the last of the We

carrying the mails over the Spearfish-
Deadwood route and many an east

took delight in riding over the trip
with him merely for the satisfaction
of being able to say they had ridden

Sink Well and Save Fish

Plankinton-Through the efforts of
=. w. Taubman and other sports
men of this part of the state. an
artesian we'll now is nearing com
pletion at Fish Lake, fine body Of
water some miles from here, and as
q result millions of fish will be saved.
During the past summer the water in
the lake reached so low stage that
It was certain it would freeze to the
bottom this winter If something was
not done and that the countless flsh
which it contained would be killed.
Mr.. Taubman took the matter in
hand and secured a sufficient fund by
voluntary contributions to have the
artesian we'll drilled. At depth of
$50 feet the drillers struck flow OF
300 gallons per minute. The immense
flow from the we'll will raise the wa
ter in the lake to it's former stage and
make it an ideal place for fishing

FIRE HITS OHIO CITY,
CINCINNATI BUSINESS DISTRICT
ATTACKED BY FLAMES-ESTI-
MATED LOSS is $4,000
FALLING WALL BURIES FOUR
Two Are Killed, Six inJured-Ten
Business Houses Burned Out-En-
tire Block Of Buildings Destroyed
by Wind-Drive. Blaze.

Cincinnati, Dec. 22.-Fire in tn,
modern factory district of this cit,
caused damage estimated at $4,000,
900. the death of fireman and DO,
and the injury of six firemen.
The fire was one of the most disas
trous that the local fire department
has had to battle with for many
years. At the time the fire started
a high wind was blowing and caused
the flames to leap and swirl like
things of life.
When the fire was finally brough
under control ten firms had beer
burned out and eight large buildings
destroyed.
List Of the Dead and Injured.
The dead:
Robert D. Grear, pipeman.
Walter Morris.
The injured: Capt. w. T. FINLEY
fireman; Frank HUMPHREYS, pipeman;
Geiger Morgan, pipeman; Fire Mar
shall Phillip Hurley; John Luhn, fire
man; William Hall, fireman.
An entire block from Ninth and
Sycamore streets to Broadway was
swept by the flames. The firms
burned out are:
Krippendorf & O'Neal Shoe com
pany, Taylor-Poole Leather company
Cahill Shoe company, Twinlock com
pany, Sycamore Street Stable com.
pany, Griess-Pfeger Leather com.
pany, Victor Safe and Lock company
A. & J. Nurre company, picture
frames and holdings, warehouse: E.
o. Duncan, paper-box factory; Wild.
berg box factory.
Fire Starts In Engine Room.
The fire, it is believed, started in
the engine room of the plant of the
Krippendorf & O'Neal company
Hardly had the fire been discovered
when the flames leaped from every
window from cellar to roof.
When the fire apparatus arrived II
was seen that the shoe factory was
doomed, and the firemen turned tc
the work Of trying to save the adjoin
ing buildings. They practically sur
rounded the fire with water, but II
had too much of a start, and, aided
by the wind, continued to spread
from building to building.
Caught by Falling Wall.
While the fire was at it's height 6
wall of the Krippendorf building fell
and buried Grear. Three other fire
men-Humphries, Morgan and Cap
tain Tinley-also were caught by the
falling wall and all badly injured.

LAND RULING MODIFIED
Entrymen May Now Easily Meet Re.
quiremants as to Residence


quirements as to Residence
Mitchell-A short time since . ruiz
ing was issued blythe general land Of
flee at WashiD gton to the effect that
a continuous residence would be re-
CURED of the entrymen. This con-
tinuous residence was construed by
the department to mean there should
be no absence from the claim, and If
there was the party returning to the
land would be required to live on the
land fourteen months consecutively
from the time of their return.
This ruling was a severe hardship
on entrymen, in that it was practi al
ly impossible to remain on the land
without leaving it for certain time.
and every person who did so endan-
gered the permanency of their resi-
dence.
This ruling, however, has just been
rescinded by the department in a let
ter received in this city from 8. v.
Proudfit, assistant commissioner of the
general land Office, in which he makes
the following statement:
"You are advised that, as held by
the department, homestead entry
mans absence from his claim, pur-
suance to leave of absence duly grant
ed, does not break the continuity OF
his residence; that is his periods OF
residence before and after said alb
sence may be added together in order
to make the period required for COM
Under this ruling those parties who
have been away from their claims will
not have the yermanency of their resi-
dence endangered and will be able to
prove up on their land without the
anticipated trouble under the old Or
der.

SHOT BY HIRED MAN
AssaiIant Barricades House and Later
is Shot by Sheriff's Posse

Yankton-Dan Courtney, farmer Of
this county, who lives near Utica, six
miles from Yankton, was shot and
probably fatally wounded by George
Rossteuscher, who had worked on the
Courtney place, but who was dircharg-
ed recently. The shooting was the re-
suit of this discharge. Courtney is in
a critical condition and it is not be"
lieved that he will live. He is now i'm
the hospital.
Rossteusoher allowed no orc to af-
proach the house except the priest
who went to see the dying man.
A sheriff's posse besieged the house,
firing several volleys into that portion
known to be occupied by Courtney's
assailant, and half-brother of Ross
teuscher on entering found his re'a-
ton on the floor, shot in the head, and
probably mortally wounded.
The motive for the shooting may be
found in the fact that Courtney's
niece, living with her uncle, had re-
peatedly spurned the attentions OF
Rossteuscher.
