Der OF promising material before him.

and have a husky bunch of players
averaging between 1875 and $50
pounds.
The team this year is equipped
with several pieces of %up-to-date APP
paratus for practice purposes among
which is a new tackling dummy and a
charging sled. Mr.. Polling announces

COUNTY AUDITORS
CASE THIS WEEK
ACTION in THE FEDERAL COURT
FOR ALLEGED WOLF BOUNTY
FRAUDS is READY FOR
TRIAL.

Deadwood, S. DIN the United
States court here today. John c. Jor-
dan a wealthy merchant of Gordon,
Nebr., was indicted for selling cattle
which had been unlawfully removed
from the Pine Ridge Indian reserva-
ton, by Louis X. Mousseau, a half
breed. An indictment was also return
ed against the latter and he appears
as a witness against Jordan. The in
dictment alleges that 1876 head of
cattle were thus disposed of, in bun
ches of 18 to rs, during a period eX-
tending from January to June, 1910.
The case against John Fall, auditor
of Pennington county, his brother
David Fall, deputy auditor, and F. G.
X. Hewlett, a hide and fur dealer of
Rapid City, indicted for using the
United States mails in connection
with a conspiracy to defraud, will be
tried this week. The alleged conspir-
acy resulted in the collection of thou
sands of dollars of illegal bounties on
wolves and coyotes. A motion to
quash the indictment against Hew-
lett. on the ground that he had APP
peared as a witness before the grand
jury against the Falls, was denied by
United States Judge Elliott.

ELLIOTT VISITS
HISTORIC SCENE
UNITED STATES JUDGE GOES TO
SHERIDAN WHERE FIRST
FEDERAL COURT in THE
BLACK HILLS WAS
HELD.

Deadwood, S. D.-Accompanied
by a party of Deadwood friends Judge
James ID. Elliott of the United Stat
es district court now in session here,
took an auto trip to Sheridan, in the
heart of the Central Black Hills, and
visited a historic building. In 1877
the first term of federal court ever
held in the Black Hills, was held in
this building at Sheridan which is
now used as 4 store.
This old building has housed many
of the states noted men and it has
been the ambition of Judge Elliott
to see it. When the first term of fed
eral court was held at Sheridan the
late G. G. Bennett of this city vas
the presiding judge, while the late
Judge Frank j. Washabaugh, form
erly and then of Yankton, was clerk
of courts. John r. Gamble of Yankton
was acting United States attorney
and it was in Judge CANDLES office
that Judge Elliott first studied law.

Der of free street attractions have
also been secured and these will be
seen morning, afternoon and even
ing.
Mitchell's Paved Streets
Mitchell has made a big improve
ment this year which will add mater.
tally to the success of the corr pal
ace. The main street of the city, ex-
tending from the Milwaukee to the
Omaha depots, a distance of eight
blocks, has been paved with concrete
and this will insure "a dry street in
case there should be a rainfall OF
heavy proportions during the week,
which has been the case in former
years. The paved street will per-
NIT all the street attractions to be
carried on and will afford a much
larger place for the great crowds to
wander about. Before the corn pal
ace opens the boulevard electric light
system will be Installed and will give
the street the appearance of the
great white way.
Make Political Speeches
Efforts are being made to secure
the presence of one or two of the
presidential candidates., and 1t is be-
lieved that either Governor Wilson
or Colonel Roosevelt will speak. 1t is
practically assured that William Jen-
nings Bryan will give al address.
Run Excursion Trains
The Milwaukee and the Omaha
railroads will run special excursion
trains into Mitchell during the en-
tire week, and at least twenty spec
ials will carry the people here. while
the regular trains will afford splen-
did Accommodations for the visitors.
The fare for the round trip will be
low, and that with the days of the
train service will be announced later.
Palace Dates Later.
The dates for the palace this year
are a trifle earlier than last, and will
cover the period from Sept. 23 to rs
With the the harvest eX-
cursions on at about the same per-
iod the information from the
east that many expect to make the
trip out to South Dakota at the same
time, for the cor palace county eX-
hibits will give them a fine opportun-
to see what has been produced.

hyde VERDICT IS
APPROVED BY THE
| Appellate COURT
Pierre Millionaire :. Or
dered to Serve PriS-
on Term q
--
RAUDTHECHARGE
Claimed That He Misrepre-
sented Conditions in
Pierre to Sell Lots

Deadwood, S. D.-A telegram has
just been received by United States
Attorney Il. ID. Wagner, who is at
ending court here stating that the
case of the United States VS.. Charles
L.. Hyde of Pierre has been affirmed
by the circuit court of appeals.
MIR. Hyde was ordered to surrend-
er himself to the United States mar
shall within thirty days after the fill
ing of the mandate in the district
court. A3a%xI
Hyde was given a prison sentence
after one of the most sensational
cases in the history of the state. Mr..
Hyde is not only president of the
American Exchange bank of Pierre,
but an extensive. property owner in
the capital city. He is generally
classified as a millionaire. His most
recent improvement in Pierre is the
st. Charles hotel, one of the best
buildings of its kind in the state.
1t was charged against Mr.. Hyde
that he had sold Pierre real estate by
fraudulent use of the mails. 1t was
said he represented that Pierre had
street car lines and many other i'm
aginary improvements and that the
lots in the suburbs and hills there
about We're already valuable and
rapidly becoming more so. Accord
ing to the governments case, he sold
to teachers and ministers and wage
%earners, people who could Ill afford
a loss of their savings.
The defense was a denial of any
intention to defraud and an insistent
declaration that the representations
of the future of Pierre were no
more fraudulent than have been
made by many other enthusiastic
real estate dealers.
An attempt, no doubt, will be made
to appeal the case to the United
States supreme court, but whether or
not that tribunal would entertain the
appeal cannot be stated.

ASKED TO HOLD UP
JUDICIAL ELECTION
Claimed Judges Can

NULL BRINGS SUIT
Two Justices of Supreme
C A. f
NULL BRINGS SUIT
Two Justices of Supreme
Court Are Affected by
the Action

Pierre, S. D.-The sensation Of the
campaign was sprung here today
when Attorney T. II. Null of Huron
appeared before the supreme curt
in behalf of William Heeley and ask
ed for an order from the court oro-
hlbltlng the secretary of state from
certifying any judicial nominations
to the county auditors to be placed
upon the ballot this fall. Null's hold
ing is that the constitution fixes the
judicial elections at the beginning of
statehood as all other elections, but
gives the legislature permission to
change such elections to other han
general elections. This was done in
1890. This he claims ended the grant
of power to the legislature and that
they We're never given power to
S1tdlSc tI6 judicial elections DdCk 10
the general elections after having
taken them from that list. He there
fore says that the act of 1901 which
again placed judicial elections at the
same time as the election of other
officials, was unconstitutional aud
void.
The court has set September 10th
for the hearing of the application.
This would affect the election of
successors to Judge Haney and Cor
o of the supreme court, who we're
defeated for denomination in the
June primaries, ard also all nominees
for the position o: circuit judge.

The Sunday services at the First
Methodist church We're we'll sustain

Basis of Brotherhood The choir
gave special music numbers and Miss
Renter sang the offertory in her
usual charming manner. The pastor
preached to than three hundred
in the evening Notwithstanding the
intense heat and the service was
successful. The splendid improve
ment in the new pews for the rear
OF the auditorium was noted. The
bulletin announced two new mem
bers as joining the church and also
the meeting of the Official board in
the ladies parlors tonight at s
o'clock.
A postoffce building inspector was
in the city recently. Postmaster Wells
has asked for several improvements
among which are more large size box
es; the cutting of an additional door
into the boiler room and the widening
of the driveway on the south of the
building. 1t is hoped thai this latter
will be enlarged sufficiently to en-
able the rural carriers to tie their
horses while they are working the
mail. An effort will also be made to
get the driveway paved. These i'm
provements have already been reco-
mended to the department and the
inspector here recently came for the
purpose of planning them. 1t seems
evident that they will be allowed
DON
The paving crew will leave the
work on Main street, and will put in
the work on East First avenue north
of the Widmann hotel as o o as it
is in shape for them to work on. The
new water mains will be laid on that
street as soon as the weather per-
mits, and by Thursday or Friday it is
expected the paving crew will be at
work on it. This will get First ave-
nue. in good shape by Corn Palace
week, SO that it can be used for con-
ceSSiOnS.

SAYS ELECTION
WILL BE HELD
NOMINEE FOR SUPREME COURT
SAYS EVEN If SUIT WINS,
VACANCIES MUST BE FILL
ED BY ELECTION

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Commenting on
the action brought in the state SUI
preme court yesterday to prevent the
election of supreme court judges this
fall the thereby continue Justices
Haney and Corson in office, Attorney
j. Howard Gates of Sioux Falls, nom
mated for Haney's place, said today:
THE constitution of South Dakota
fixes the term of Office of judges of
the supreme court at six years, but
provides that for the purpose of hold
ing judicial elections at a time differ
ent from other elections the legisla-
ture may extend or abridge the term
not more than six months.
mir. Null's contention is that the
act of 1901 extending the term of the
judges then in office from six years
to six years and six months, and eX-
tending the term of their successors
from six years to six years n six
months is void because in violation
of the constitution. He contends that
the term of Office of the judges elect
ed in 1892 expired in January, 1906,
instead of in July 1906, and that the
term of Office of the judges elected in
1904 expired in January 1912, in
stead of January 1913, and that the
election should have been hold in
1911 instead of this fall. He then con-
tends that there can be no election
for supreme court judges this fall
and asks for a writ prohibiting the
secretary of state from certifying the
names of the successful candidates
at the June primary upon the bal
lots.
"Without expressing an opinion on
the merits of the constitutional ques-
lions, there is, in my opinion, no
ground for prohibiting the election of
supreme court judges this fall, be-
cause section s, chapter 100 of the
law of 1909 provides:
In case of any vacancy occurring
in the office of any of the judges of
the supreme court the governor shall
appoint a %uccessor, who shall imme-
ment, and at the next general cleo
ton held for state and county Off
GERS thereafter a successor shall be
elected who shall qualify on the first
Monday in January next after such
election, or within twenty days
thereafter, and the person so elect
ed shall hold office for the %unexpir-
ed term
"In any event, therefore, the cleo
ton must be held this November, and
the only question would be whether
those elected this fall will hold their
Office for five years OF six years."
