CASTL EWOOD RETAINS
the COUNTY RECORDS
Court Refuses Transfer Until
Hamlin County Contest Is
Decided.

Pierre, S; d., Feb. 1.-The supreme
court in an opinion written by Judge
Smith upholds the lower court in
lIamlin county in its action in regard
to the removal of the Hamlin county
seat from Castlewood to IIayti and
rcstrians the county officers from
transferring the records to the newly
chosen county seat.
The election. which resulted in favor
of the town of Hayti, is being con-
tested and the action was caused by
the statute which requires county Of
ficers to remove to the new county
seat within 80 days after an election
and making it an offense for a county
officer to remain away from the
county seat.
The contest proceedings made it i'm
possible to decide which of the towns
was the county seat and the circuit
court issued a writ of prohibition re
straining the removal of the county of
fees.
This was objected to by the residents
of Hayti and action was commenced
to set aside the writ of prohibition and
compel the transfer of the records prior
to the determining of the contest.
