STATE MAY INTERVENE
IN INHERITANCE CASE

Sioux Falls, S. D., July Am effort
was made a few days ago 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 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
the state may 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 it's 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.

ELEPHANTS USED

Broken Faith of Circus

Aberdeen, S. D., July 3.-An interest
Ing encounter between the citizens OF
Britton and the farmers of Marshall
county, on the one hand, and the en-
ployes OF a travelling circus, including
the elephants and the band, on the
other, resulted in victory for South
Dakota citiZenry and a defeat for the
circus people. Britton annually holds
a three day race meet.
This year the dates for the race meet
were fixed for June 2S, 20 and 80. After
the dates had been announced, the ad-
vance nan for the circus appeared and
sought a license for the circus to give
performance at Britton on June 20.
The Britton city auditor objected to
giving the license, because he feared
the circus would be too dangerous COM
petition for the race meet. Finally a
compromise was effected, by the terms
OF which the race meet was to start on
the disputed date at / o'clock In the
afternoon, and the circus was not to
start it's performance until the races
were over.
Circus Man Breaks Word.
With this understanding the circus
man secured his license. When the
circus people saw the crowd that

usual hour, believing the circus would
prove a greater attraction to most of
the crowd than the horse races.
Britton people were surprised to see.
shortly after / o'clock, the circus get
ting in line for the street parade. Quick
residents massed themselves across the
street in such a manner that the parade
could not pass. The farmers FASTENED
to the aid Of the ownspeople, and soon
thousands were grouped in the street

rupt the racing by the parade. Onward
the circus band marched, followed by
the parade, but the crowds did not
bulge. Discounted, the circus leaders
withdrew for consultation, and then
changed their tactics.
Elephants Charge Crowd.
Suddenly the elephants in the circus
were massed together and placed at the
head of the procession. Again the band
played gaily, and the big parade, head
ed by dozen elephants forming solid
phalanx, moved on the crowd. Again
the crowd refused to bulge, and when
the elephants were nearly upon them
the circus management, to avoid injur-
Ing some one, halted the parade and
abandoned the attempt to give it at all.
An attempt was made to give the
performance, however, but the farmers
who had crowded into town were an
gered at the treatment the circus peo-
pie had given the town, and when the
tent was opened less than SO people
were on hand to see the performance.
The remainder were down at the coun-
ty fair grounds watching the races At
4 o'clock the circus management dis
gustedly struck it's tents, declining to
give an evening show.
