TAFT Pleads for Competition.

Gregory, S. D.-County Superin-
tendent Warner is in receipt of a
telegram from Pierre stating that
the supreme court had reversed the
decision of Judge Williamson, of the
district court, ir the Bonsesteel
school controversy.
a year ago two Of the members Of
the school board removed from Bone
steel and the county superintendent
appointed j. Il. Cash and j. NJ. Big
gins to fill their uneNpired terms.
Rival politicians claimed that the
appointees only held over until the
next regular school election and at
that time elected j. G. Alexander to
the position of treasurer, which was
held by higgins. The latter refused
to surrender the books, acting on the
advice of the attorney general, and
the case was taken to the district
court, where Judge Williamson de-
cided in favor of Alexander. Big
gins carried the case to the supreme
court, with the above result.
The decision will be of interest to
the teachers of the state as we'll as

Gregory, S. D.--The effort OF a
stranger to pass himself off as a
representative OF the interior depart
ment, with authority to assume
charge of the local land opening,
caused considerable excitement at
the registration building FOR a short
time. He proved to be an impostor
and, though pursued by the police,
made his escape.
The total registration up to Sat
urday night. according TO Judge
Witten's record, is 13,111. This in
dicates a total Of $4,000 to 100000
for the three weeks, giving every one
who registers one chance in ten to
win a claim.
The attendance for the week has
been very gratifying, each succeed
applicants than its predecessor.
Nearly every state in the union has
been represented, many of the appli-
cants coming from as far as the At
lantic and Pacific coasts, but the
greater number to register come
from the neighboring states Of Iowa,
Nebraska, Minnesota and North Da-
kota.
Hundreds of ONE have been
among the applicants, n all of
them are very eager to draw home
steads and return to make their
homes on the Rosebud. These wom-
en- visitors have been under the spe-
cial car of the local women's club
during their %sojourn in Gregory, and
everything possible has been done
for their comfort.
