The Sisseton Standard says:
The ruling Of Judge Bottum in
the case of Jones VS.. Roberts
county has been reversed by the
supreme court Of South Dakota
This is the case IN which O. H.
Jones sought to recover of the
county several hundred dollars
which he claimed as salary while
acting as county superintendent
OF schools. After serving four
years, aud after his success sOr,
Mrs. Gee, was elected, Jones ST.
cured an injunction restraining
her from entering upon the du
ties Of the office. and consequent
ly held over. AS the law OF
South Dakota limits the term Of
Office of the county superinteud
enl, as well aS most Of the other
county officers, to two success ssive
terms, it was generally believed
that Jones was not entitled to
salary after the expiration Of his
tour years.
The county commissioners,
however, allowed Jones salary
bill, whereupon a petition was
presented to the states attorney,
signed by a number of taXpay-
ers reques ting that the case be
Appealed to the Gil cult court.
This was done, as required by
law, and Judge Bottum, sitting
for Judge McNalty, upheld the
appeal, holding that Jones was
not entitled to recovery.
The recent decision of the su
preme court, however, reverses
Judge Bottum's decision, and
orders judgment to be rendered
in favor Of Jones for the full
amount claimed.

A Word From Alberta.

H. J Benedict writes from the
Milk River country in Alberta,
that although about 80 miles out
in the country and away from
the railroad, they have lots of
neighbors, and these are about
evenly divided between bacnel-
ors and families. He says that
both he and Mrs. Benedict are
enjoying their outing. He says
the country has fine prairie land
and is very productive if there is
rainfa enough. It was getting
very dry there until just before
he wrote bis letter. when he
says they had a storm in which
the water came down in regular
sheets, and formed such lake
that the dog had to be taken out
of his kennel. The crops have
been looking good, but needed
the rain, which they got. Mr.
Benedict says they expect to re.
turn home the 18th Of August.
