EGAN SHOWN UP.

Much stir is being caused by the an
nouncement throughout the State that
the disbarment of George w. Egan, can
didate for Governor, was on the O'Grady
case instead of the Kaufman case as has
been generally believed. The Supreme
Court records bear out this state ment
and show that Egan was disbarred
through an action started by the Bar As
sociation of his home county, Mime
haha, stating that Egan had secured a
deed to farm property and other sscur-
tiles to the value of $4,000 from Mrs.
O'Grady when she was bis client and
mentally unsound.
The Supreme Court record which We
have carefully read states this case plain
ly and leaves no room for doubt.
Egan strongly opposed the appoint.
ment of a Guardian for his client bu,
failed, and Guardian was appointed.
Egan's defense was that he had con.
tract for payment to him by Mrs.
O'Grady of $4,000 as his fees for hand.
ling her case and that the $4,000 was
part payment. That is true but such q
contract and conveyances seem TO have
been taken when the woman was moi
mentally responsible and in the Office oil

with two other men present but nc
friends of the woman, when of course
she signed all papers offered her. Egan
his greed not yet appeased, took $50.0C
in money from the unfortunate woman
and she walked out penniless with nc

of one of those who ask the highest hon

SENATOR GAMBLE.

Senator Gamble is now nearing the
end of his second term in the United
States Senate and is a candidate for re-
election. His twelve years of service in
that body have been of finestimable value
to the people of South Dakota. Perhaps
some Of us have not always agreed with
him on some of the problems that have
come before him for consideration. This
is possibly more prominent in the Lori
mer investigation matter than any other.
Had Mr.. Gamble sought to play for
favor with the voters of South Dakota
he would unqnestionably not have voted
as he did. He was fully aware of the
sentiment in this State and it must have
taken considerable courage to vote in ac-
cordance with the evidence as submitted
to the committee under such conditions,
and he should be commended rather
than condemned for voting according to
his convictions. His ability and ex
perience have placed him in the fore
front of that distinguished body. He is
chairman of the committee on Indian
affairs and member of several other
important committees. If he were de-
feated, his successor as chairman of that
committee would be Senator from
some other state. Do the voters ol
South Dakota realize what it means to
the State to have man in the Senate al
the head of that committee to look after
the interests of the homesteaders anC
the reservation lands? The history o

DIGaToE CoRsoN,
Candidate for Judge Of the Supreme Cour'
From the First District.

From the ftrst District.
The Deadwood Pioneer-Times, pub
lished at Deadwood, Judge Corson's
home city, in discussing Judge Corson's
candidacy for Judge in its issue of May
4th, 1912, says:
"He was the presiding judge of the
State Supreme Court at the time of its
organization, and his decisions appear
in every volume of the Supreme Court
reports, beginning with No. l and con-
tinuing through to No. 20.
"The Court consisted of three judges
up to April lst, 1909. Since then it has
been composed of FIVE members. Since
the Court was increased to Ave Judges
52S decisions have been handed down.
OF this number 100, slightly more than
one-fifth of the total, were written by
Judge Corson. The reports of the State
also show that while the Court consisted
Of three judges only, the decisions writ
ten by Judge Corson were more than
one-third of the total number rendered.
"The quality of Judge Corson's work
is of the same high standard rs is its
quantity. His opinions command the
respect not only of the bar of the State
but OF the courts of sister states. They
are on par with the best courts of any
state east or west. They have been a
most potent factor in giving the dignity
and high standing to our supreme judi
cial tribunal which it enjoys throughout
the west. They are clear, logical and
direct. The difficulties of a case are not
lodged or evaded but are squarely met
and as squarely determined.
"In addition to all this, the Judges
mind is virile; his department dignified,
his manner unfailingly courteous.
"What more could be asked in judge
of the highest court in the land2"
The sentiment on the other side of
the State is well illustrated by the fol-
lowing excerpt taken from the Clark
County Courier in an article discussing
the candidacy of fjudges at some length:
"Who would for a moment consider
the advisability of exchanging Judge
Corson, the Nestor of the bar of this
State, for a man without experience up
on the benchP Judge Corson has served
upon the supreme bench since the State
was organized, and with such eminent
legal ability and judicial fairness that
not only the members of the bar but the
people of the State in general have ap
proved and endorsed his opinions and
decisions. During these years he has
served the people of the State with an
industry and integrity of purpose rarely
equalled and never excelled. We have
yet to meet a member Of the bar or a
well informed citizen who questions
Judge Corson's success at the primaries
and election"

Three Supreme Court judges are to be
selected at the election this year. and
the candidates for the places to be Sc
lected at the primary in June. Under
the law these candidates are selected
from specific districts, but while the Sc
lection is confined to such districts 30
far as the individuals are concerned,
when it comes TO voting, they are voted
for all over the state. The mere fact
that county is located outside Of the
boundaries of the district in which the
selection is to be made, does not put it
outside of the "voting district" for the
selection of such officials. At the elec-
ton two years ago, when Judges Smith
and Mccoy were elected from the fourth
and fifth districts, the County Auditors
of the counties of Aurora, Beadle, Fall
River, Harding and Potter counties, none
OF them in the districts in which the
judges live, placed their names on the
primary ballot, evidently under the ap-
prehension that they did not so belong.
In Marshall county, the name of Judge
Mccoy alone was presented, and that Of
Smith left OFF, Marshall being in the
district in which Judge Mccoy resided.
At the November election the names
were both left off in Fall River county,
aud that OF Judge Smith in Marshall.
As matter of fact the vote for Supreme
Court judges is state wide, just as for
any other officer, and they have a place
on the ballot in every county, regard
less of location of the county, or the
district from which the judge is to be
selected.

BUFFALO PARK AT WIND CAVE
An Appropriation for It's Establish
ment Included in the General
Appropriation Bill.

Washington, May 29.-The conferess
having the agricultural appropriation
bill in charge have agreed to include in
an appropriation for the establishment
of a buffalo reserve in the Wind Cave
National Park in South Dakota. The
bill was originally introduced as a state
measure by Representative Martin, of
South Dakota. 1t was afterward made
an amendment to the agricultural bill
by Senator Gamble. The action Of the
conferees of the House and Senate prac.
ticaly assures its enactment.
1t calls for an appropriation of $32, 100
to be expended in acquiring additional
land TO insure the water supply and in
fencing to prevent animals from stray
ing. The American Bison society, of
New York, will donate a herd of male
and female buffalo to the Government,
which will be placed in the Park. This
society has been much interested in pre-
venting the entire determination of the
few remaining buffalo, and with this end
in view agreed to donate the herds
should Mr.. Martins proposition be en-
acted. 1t will require q small annual
for maintenance.

Thought Him Beast
In Field.--ShOt Him

Thomasville, Aug. 20. - Because
he was mistaken for some sort of
a four-legged animal, Joe Burns
was shot to death bv Dan Mung-
er on Saturday night and his
body found yesterday morning.
Munger. who lives over in the
Merrillville district of the county,
heard something making a noise
in his cornfeld and, looking out,
saw something black between the
rows which he thought was a cow
or large hog. He called. but there
was no reply, so he decided it
could not possibly be a human
being and, accordingly, he got
his shotgun and fired at it. It
disappeared and he supposed ne
had killed it or frightened it of.
as he heard no more Of it. On
going into the field the next
morning he found, to his sorrow
that he had killed . man, his shot
being fatal. Both men were Ie-
groes.

with the bicycle cops on his heels.
It is an interesting coincidence
that the auto bandit has made his

police department for the FIRST

meet him on his own ground. The
