JUDGE TRIP HOLDS INTENT OF
VOTERS SHOULD
RULE.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capitol City, the Various
State Institutions and From
Many Different Parts Of
the Sunshine State.

Yankton.-An important decision
has been handed down her by Judge
r. B. Trip of the First judicial circuit
court, in which he sustains two cleo
tons on the liquor question. At Gen.
~terville, by a vote of 1877 for and IS
against, the "wets" won.
The vote, however, had been taken
on a ballot with a vote on matters re-
lating to the city's waterworks. A
suit was brought contending that as
the state law says clearly the liquor
vote shall be on a separate ballot the
election was Illegal.
At Springfield, by a close vote of
80 for and S5 against, the "wets" again
O Here the vote was taken on
the same ballot as was used by the
city for its officers. The same rea-
sons were here given in a suit as to
the legality of the election.
Judge Trip holds that the mistake
of the city auditors does not invali-
date the election. That the elections
were a full and fair expression of the
will Of the voters, who took no part
in the errors but voted, without any
other resource, on the ballots furnish
ed them. The statute was held to be
directory only to the auditors with no
prohibitory clause. n that under a
well established rule of law in such
cases there could be no setting aside
of the election. The judgment applies
to both Springfield and Centerville.

dore Roosevelt was nominated for
president on an Independent ticket in

Roosevelt was said to be chiefly for
the purpose Of effecting a temporary
organization. Beginning tomorrow,
when a call is to be issued for a state
convention in Illinois. the work OF
organization will be pushed forward
rapidly, state by state. Later, prob
ably early in August, it is intended
that a national convention shall be
held.
Col. Roosevelt, in accepting the
nomination, said he did so on the I'M
derstanding that he would willingly
step aside If it were the desire of the
new party, when organized, to select
another candidate.
A speech nominating Col. Roosevelt
was made by Controller P~rendergast
of New York, who was to have pre-
scented the colonel's name to the con-
vention. William Draper Lewis, of
the University of Pennsylvania law
school, who was to make one of the

dress which he had prepared for the

Victims of the Tragedy.

Trinidad, Colo, June 21.-Wednes-
day nights explosion in the new mine
Of the Victor-American Fuel company
at Hastings sent II men to their death.
The disaster occurred shortly after
midnight. The mine Is Is miles north
of Trinidad and belongs to the Vic.
tor-American Fuel company.
The first body was recovered short
ly before four o'clock, and later four
more were taken out. All were burned
badly. Among the bodies recovered
were those Of John Thomas, fire boss
and Pete Miller, the only Americans
killed. The other e victims were for
eigners. 1t is thought there may be
more dead in the mine.
The main slope caved In and res
cuers We're hampered in their work
Rescue equipment vas rushed to the
mine from Trinidad.
Mine officials believe the explosion
was caused by a windy shot" which
set off a quantity of gas. The explo
sion took place in the new slope OF the
mine 5000 feet from the mouth Of the
mine. where development work is IL
progress. The men who were in the
night shift were shot-f1rers and entry
msn
The explosion took place lear the
face of some new workings. No con
cussion was felt even in the vicinity
Of the mine and the first warning OF
the disaster came when a night watch
man saw smoke issuing from the
mouth of the new slope.
Superintendent Cameron and party
succeeded in locating a number OF
bodies behind heavy falls. Those not
killed outright died soon after, Came
ron believes, from suffocation. The
mine fan Is not damaged and the
wrecked slope is slowly being cleared
Of poisonous gases.
Rescuers who entered the mine re.
turned soon afterward with a Greek,
who was burned severely. According
to the mine superintendent who came
out after a hasty Investigation, both
the main slope and the new air course.

The Hastings mine is one of the
largest producerc in the southern Colo
RADIO fields. The main portion Of the

crops in Fine Condition.

Sioux Falls.-James B. Veitch, a
well known Sioux Falls implement
man, who has returned from a bust
ness trip to Chamberlain and points
west of there clear through to the
Black Hills, brings an encouraging re-
port of crop conditions in that part of
the state. Recently that entire region
has had two soaking rains, with the
result that there is a large amount Of
moisture in the ground and crops gen
orally could not be in better condi-
ton than they are at the present
time. Last year that part of the state,
as well as the eastern section, had a
shortage Of moisture during the fore
part of the season and crops were
affected. This season, however, the
prospects for a big crop could not be
brighter, and it is expected the newer
region west of the Missouri river will
be as prosperous as the older por-
sion East of the river.

OBJECT TO PAYING.
Rapid City viii Fight Suit to Recover
S1S5. 200.


Rapid City.-Rapid City has been
sued by Henry d. Dinet of Chicago for
the sum of 1856, 900. This startling
statement came to light when the sum-
mons and complaint appeared OF rec
ord in the district court in Sioux Falls,
and a copy was served on the city Of
ficials here.
The claim is on the bonds issued
May 1, 1891, in the sum of $4,000,
which amount, with interest accrued,
now totals $1S5,290.
The issue in question is better
known as the VIM. T. Coad bonds, and
were in the sum of $156,425.69 Eighty
thousand dollars worth Of bonds were
disposed of, and the balance were re-
called and burned by the city officials.
The bonds were issued at the time I'M
der the pretext of r%efunding an old
Indebtedness. when, as a matter OF
fact, only $4,000 worth of the pro-
ceeds from the bonds sold were used
for such purpose, and the balance OF
$4,000 worth were gratuitously turn
ed over to William T. Coad to aid in
the construction of the Dakota & Wyo-
ming (Crouch Line) railway.
The city has heretofore refused pay
ment of the bonds on the ground that
on December "a, 1906, an injunction
was granted by the circuit court of
this county, restraining the city from
paying either the principle or interest
on said bonds, and for the further rea-
son that the bonds were illegally is
sued on the pretext of paying off an
old Indebtedness, when, as a matter
of fact, only $4,000 of the issue was
so used. On these grounds and 9TH
ers, the : precent city officials pro-
posed to fight the issue.

book (vol. 81 which has just appeared
in Brookings. For this book Prof. Sol
berg and his engineering students
drew the maps of auto highways from
Fargo to Sioux City, and from Man
kato in Minnesota to Sundance in wy
oming, and other short lines. This
work has placed South Dakota on the
official highway map with routes for
through travel both north and south,
east and west. From the standpoint
of tourist travel as well as for adj
vertising purposes, this will be OF
great benefit to our state, and partic-
rularly to the Black Hills country. This
work is directly responsible for the
great impetus given the good roads
movement in the state, through the
good roads convention held in Dead
wood last February.
