poets of becoming an important town

borless other western town which
nave grown to respectable size and

about to make its disappearance is
The village Of LanIro, which came INTO
existence when the coded portion OF
the Rosebud Indian reservation in
Trip county was opened to white
settlement. The town had county seat
aspirations, and at the election last
November was one of the chief towns
n the county seat contest, which re-
suited in Winner, another new town,
capturing the prize. Winner, by
reason of capturing the county seat,
,lso captured a railroad, while Lamro
a never secured railroad connections.
The result was that am exodus from
Lamro to Winner commenced. n
now most Of the buildings originally
erected in Lamro have been moved

population. The last act IL the dying
struggles of the town was the resig-

STATE MAY INTERVENE
IN INHERITANCE CASE

Sioux Falls, S. D., July Am effort
was made a few days G by what are
known as the Arkansas claimants Of
the estate Of John Mcclellan, a pioneer
resident of Sioux Falls, to have the
state of South Dakota prevented from
being a party to the action which has
been in the state and federal courts for
a great many years. Judge Elliott, Of
the federal court, now has decided that
INC state MAJ intervene as one of the
claimants. The litigation involves the
$4,000 estate of Mcclellan. The deci-
sion fof Judge Elliott will permit the
state to have its attorneys present and
participate in all future hearings held
TO determine and establish the title.
The state always has claimed that none
of the claimants are the rightful heirs
and that the estate therefore belongs
to the state of South Dakota

Harvests Begin in Southeast
South Dakota With Great
Promise.

Mitchell. S. D, July Crop condT
tions in this section of the state cons
tinue TO hold good, and have held theiA
own despite the exceedingly hot wealth
er Of the past week, then the Their
mometer, with the exception of tWl
days, marked a range of from 80 10 y!
degrees of Saturday. Several gooc'
rains came during the week., and tresh-
ened things up to a marked extern
and made it possible to withstand thu
excessive heat.
There is a great range Of country
in the central section which has sent
out very encouraging crop reports. rms
extends from PreshO. west Of the Mis-
souri, river east on the Milwaukee roa0
TO the river, with even better condi
lions from Chamberlain in through
Pukwana, White Lake. Kimball, Plank
inton, Mt. Vernon and on east to the
state line. In Aurora and, Brule coun~
ties the crops are said to be exception
ally good, more than the average rain
fall having covered that section during
the growing season. Corn Is standing
up the best in 10 years and is farther
advanced han at any time during the
period. 1t is rated at 125 out that way.
Wheat is considered good for a two
thirds crop, while oats will be less
than half a crop. The same conditions
prevail around S~t!ck1cy Gud Corsica,
south Of P~lankinton, and also east On
to Trip.
From the north line of SanbOrn cOun-
ty south to southern Hutchinson, from
which section reports nave been Sc
cured, the best of conditions under the
circumstances prevail, and where corn
is rated at 10, n wheat good for a
half a crop at least. There are spots in
this section where rain has not come
and wheat and oats show the effects of
1t, but corn, as a general proposition,
is good all over the section. 1t is
standing over three feet high, which Is
a full foot higher than at this time of
the year. With a little more rain,
through July and August, the corn
crop is going to beat the one of last
year by a big percentage. In David
son county, corn is rated at f25, and
showing q better stand than in 10 years
and shows a fine color. A drive.
through the county has revealed many
fields OF wheat that give Indications of
going at least Is bushels per acre.
The rain Of Saturday night, while
not extensive, covered about half Of the
county, and will help the sections Wis
tied materially. A portion Of north
western Hanson county is reported
very dry, and some wheat will not be.
cut, and this includes a small area Of
northeastern Dawson county.
