Mitchell, S. D.. March IS. -
South Dakota is without a blood
hound. The hound which State
Fire Marshal Craft bought a
year ago, was poisoned by
some person throwing the ami
NAL !; some meat containing
poison in midday. The hound
cost the state $500, and it has
been the means of tracking down
several criminals In various
parts of the state. The hound
has been used in tracking local
parties of late who have been
mixed up in petty thieving and
ii is believed these parties de-
cided to get rid Of the hound.
1t is not likely that the state
will purchase another hound.

been notified by the land office that
they will have to return to their land
at once, and follow certain require

each instance these persons who have
proved up have had their money re-
turned by the land office with the COM
mand to return to their claims. The
owners are at loss to know the
cause nor are they able to ascertain
who is making the protest. In several

ENACTED LAWS DO
NOT AGREE WITH
PROPOSED BILLS
Dverworked Clerks at Close OF
Session Make Grievous Err
rors In New Laws.

Pierre. 8. D., March 1S.-As interest,"
ed parties begin to dig, into the Jaw
enacted at the last session, they are
finding more of the results of pushing
over-worked clerical forces at the clos
ing hours of the session to get out laws
which could just as well have been en-
acted earlier in the session. But 1t Is a
natural result of attempting to finish
up the work Of half the session in two
days time.
One of the laws attempted was to in
crease the salary of Superintendent
Mead, of the insane asylum, from 81
500 to $4,000. The house passed the bill
at $4,000, and the senate increased 1t to
the higher figure. This resulted In a
conference committee which accepted
the figure fixed by the senate, and the
report of the conferees was accepted
by both houses. But the law filed iip
the Office of the secretary of state only
places the salary at, $4,000.
A bill was introduced to provide for
the deficiency in transporting prisoners
to the penitentiary, the amount asked
being just what was shown to be due
by vouchers filed with the state audi
tor, and at the same time $4,000 was
ed to meet such bills for the future
While that was the bill of which the
duplicate" was sent to the printer. the
one actually introduced as the "origi-
nal" only asked for $4,000 additional
and lis 500 short on the deficiencies
and some sheriff in the state who gets
in late will have to wait two: years
more for his deficiency" and there
will be another deficiency to care for
In the same item when the next session
meets.

penses of the Judges of the newly Gre
ated Eleventh and Twelfth circuits. uT
to the 1st of July, an itemiZed state
ment of the needs was made, but THE
total appropriated does not equal the
itemized statement, and these judges
will be short of the amount which ],
was expected they would have wher
the bill was introduced.
