Long Legal Fight
For Court House of
Hamlin County
Referee Finishes Taking Testimony
in One of Hottest Contests Ever
Waged in South Dakota,

SIOUX FALLS s. D.. May 8-(Special)
After several weeks have been devoted
to the work of taking the testimony in
the county seat contest between the towns
of Castlewood and Hayti, Hamlin county,
the work has been concluded and j. T.
Law of WATERFOWL, who was appointed
referee to take the testimony, now Is con-
sidering the voluminous amount of testi-
mony given before him, preparatory to
making his findings in the case, which will
be notable as one of the hottest county
seat contests in the history Of the state.
Castlewood is the recent county seat
and at the election last November the new
town of Hayti sought to wrest the county
seat from Castlewood. Under the state
law It Is necessary for an aspiring town
under such circumstances to secure two
thirds of the votes cast On the face OF
tho returns Hsyu had less than half a
dozen votes ito the good" and quite nat
urally the partisans Of Castlewood refused
to surrender the county seat, but instead,
instituted an action in the state circuit
court by which they sought to show that
many illegal votes were cast for Hayti
and that Hayti did not secure the necessary
two-thirds vote.
j. T. Law was appointed referee by the
court to take the testimony and conduct
the hearing in the case. During the hear
ing which, as stated, extended for several
weeks. every inch. of ground was hotly
contested by the opposing towns and SEN
sations were quite numerous. One Of the
closing features Of the contest was the
impeachment of the testimony of a promi-
nent resident of Hamlin county. One ar
rest has been made for perjury and
numerous other arrests on charges OF
perjury and bribery have been threatened.
over 100 ballots were In question and
over 200 witnesses were summoned and
offered their testimony. In addition the
affidavits of over ninety voters who had
sworn in their votes were involved in the
hearing and made a part of the record
