Pierre, S. DIN an opinion deliv-

red in by all the other members of
the court, this morning, the state
supreme court holds that the charges
in the disbarrment proceedings
against Acknowledgement Royal G..
Johnson, were not sustained by the
testimony presented. The accusa-
ton is accordingly dismissed. This
outcome will be heard with pleasure
by the many friends of the attorney
general over the state.
johnson was accused of appearing
in a civil action against a mar whom
he had prosecuted as states attor-
ney. The evidence showed that the
attorney for the civil action officed
with johnson, but that johnson had
no part in the case, refusing to APP
pear in it for the very reason that it
is contrary to the rules of practice.
Johnson declared the charges against
him were made for the purpose of
injuring him politically.

DENIES THAT S|LSBEE
DIDN'T GET HIS RIGHTS
REGISTER BURNS MAKES STATE
MENT CONCERNING CHARGES
FILED WITH A MINNESOTA
CONGRESSMAN.

The unwarranted charged filed
in Washington with Representative
Davis and coming from n George
N. Silsbee, of Scott county, Mimi, al
leging that he was prevented from
obtaining a patent to Indian lands
in Trip county through the machina-
lions of Fred Dennet, commissioner
of the general land office at Wash
ington and Thomas G. Burns, regis
ter of the land Office at Gregory, S.
D., are declared to be absolutely false
by Mr.. Burns who is at present in
Mitchell on a leave of absence from
his duties.
Mr.. Burns said: Cali the advice
which 1 gave him (Silsbee) was to
the effect that he should beware of
the Oklahoma grafters, who, like a
flock of vultures, were attempting to
fleece old soldiers. Joe B. Baker, of
the Baker Company, mentioned in
the statement in the press interview,
is the same party who paid a fine of
one thousand dollars at Deadwood, in
federal court after pleading guilty
to the offense of trafficing in soldiers
declaratory filings. Baker, as we'll
as all members of his company, have
been barred from practicing before
the Gregory land office, and the
charges made by Silsbee, l am quite
sure, have been prompted by Baker
and his friends to get even with the
officials of the Gregory Office and the
general land Office"
The incidents leading up to the
preferred charges are these: On
Oct. /, 1909, a squatter filed on a
piece of land and five days later Bak-
err filed a soldiers declaratory on the
same quarter section. without ven
having seer the land or found if it
had been filed upon. Later the
squatter filed a contest on the de-
claratory claim, he having built a
shanty on the land and lived on it
from the day he place dhis filing
thereon, and to all intents and pur-
poses was making his home there.
The contest was heard in due time,
and the decision of the land Office
was in favor of the squatter. Sils-
Dee then had fifteen days in which
to appeal from the decision, but he
did not even take advantage of his
rights in that direction.
Mr.. Burns declares that if Silsbee
has lost anything in the matter
it has been through the negligence of
of his W attorneys, and that he new
er attempted to intimidate him in
any manner nor to use any influence
whatever to deprive him of his rights
in trying to secure a claim. On his
return to Gregory, Mr.. Burns states
that he will make a full and COM
plete report to the general land office
respecting the incidents of this case.
His friends in this city do not give
the slightest credence to the story,
and have faith in their fellowtowns-
man that he is performing his duties
at Gregory without effort to help any
individual in getting a claim or de-
priving any M of their rights.

CROP PROSPECT IS

WEATHER IHURRIES
GROWTH.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Crop condi-
lions in the state at large continue
in general to be very encouraging.
Recent rains have visited practically
all parts of South Dakota and have
greatly benefited crops of all kinds.
One feature of the present crop sit
nation that is somewhat unusual,
but which is an outgrowth of the
lack of moisture last season, is the
tendency of many to become alarmed
if rain holds off a little longer than
they think they should. The resi-
dents of the state in general, howev-
er, believe there will be ample mois-
ture during the remainder of the
growing season to assure good crops
of all kinds.
With the temperature several days
this week lowering in the neighbor.
hood of ninety in the shade, crops
which are in the ground have grown

grain has attained a good growth,
and from reports received here it
looks healthy and strong in all por-
lions of the state.
Corn planting nov is complete in
the southern part of the state and
is we'll along in the northern section.
In many localities there has been a
material increase in the acreage de-
voted to corn. In some southern
counties, such as Bon Homme, early
planted corn already has appeared

charged.
IL Is said ,hat the suit may be the
first of n series started by Attorney
General Wickersham. looking to the
breaking up of the alleged agree
ment among the retailers OF many
Of the commodities of life to main
tain high prices.
1t Is alleged that not only have
private consumers been blacklisted
but many of the great industrial con-
Germs OF the country have been put
under the ban by the lumber dealers.
The suit is directed specifically
against retail organizations, in the
eastern states, but the trial unques-
tionably will embrace the methods
adopted by retailers and wholesalers
throughout the United States.
In general, the case is regarded as
chief of Attorney General Wicker
sham's long planned test suits to
have the courts determine how far
the trusts may go to prevent the ul-
innate consumer from dealing direc
with the producer or wholesaler.
The government takes the position
that any agreement or act which pre-
vents a consumer from buying where
he chooses or to his best advantage,
/ constitutes an Unreasonable" re-
straint of trade and a violation of
the Sherman law. No attack on the
middle men, as such, is intended,
the department of Justice holding
there is legitimate business opport-
unity for him.
Attorney General Wickersham per-
sonally directed the gathering of the
evidence which has occupied more
than a year.
This evidence includes copies of
the alleged agreements, blacklists
and reports of the various organiza-
lions branding Wholesale and retail
dealers who have dared to violate the
rules of the associations as "poach-
,ers", "mavericks," "scalpers" and
"illegtimate dealers" to whom a
short shrift" must be applied.
The government charges in brief
that an elaborate system of black
listing not only individual consumers
but some of the largest inductrial
corporations have been prevented
| from directly with wholesalers. BY
alleged unlawful agreements and
acts, it is charged that all competi-
tion for the trade of the contractor,
the builders, the manufacturer of
finished lumber products and the in
%dividual has been thrown
entirely into the hands of the retail
ers in the Eastern States Retail Lum-
Der Dealers association and its con-
, stituent organizations.
