BANKERS OPTIMISTIC
ON DAKOTA PROSPECT
OF MORE PROSPERITY
PEOPLE a Little More Conser'
vative But Money is Plentl-
full and Outlook Good.

Huron, S. D., Feb. 12.-Concernlns
monetary conditions in South Dakota.
the gentlemen here attending the re-
cent meeting of bankers were very pro-
nounced in the belief that the real
"~stringency" was not because of a lack
of funds, nor confidence, but because
people generally saw the mead of more
economical living and instituted a sys-
tenn of frugality not heretofore appa-
rent in this section of the northwest.
While in a few limited localities there
will be demand for money with which
to provide seed for the coming seasons
crop, the people are not seriously in
convenienced, and are far from being
discouraged, in fact all are in happy
anticipation of a splendid crop year,
and ample seed will be provided for all
the acres needed. A majority of those
who came here a yea ago to make new
homes nave sufficient means to provide
seed grain and feed for stock till an
other harvest, but many of them will
be obliged to ask holders of paper to
carry interest another year.. In short,
according to the sentiment expressed
farmers and the people of the state
generally are in much better condition
than most people realize,

HELD IN NATIVE LAND
FOR SERVICE IN ARMY

Aberdeen, S. D.. Feb. 12-Sam Todor-
off, a young Bulgarian, formerly a resi-
lent of this place, has returned to
Aberdeen from his native country II
is very glad to get back. Todoroff was
employed by the Milwaukee railroad
here for a number of years, and then
was persuaded to go to New York to
take up the study of this English Ian
guage, in order to become an 1nterpre-
ter for his c~ountrymen who come to
this country. After staying for a time
in New York, he decided to return to
his native country for a visit. He took
his savings, amounting to several hum
bred dollars, to the old country with
him, but was unpleasantly surprised
upon his arrival there, by being
thrown into Jail on a charge Of leaving
h country without having performed
h compulsory military service re-
quired Of all Bulgarians. After lying in
jail for several months and paying a
heavy fine, which nearly exhausted his
financial resources, Todoroff was re-
leased and lost no time in sailing for
America. He landed In New York
stranded, but Aberdeen riends sent
him transportation, and he returned
here and resumed his position with the
Milwaukee road, thankful to be again
in his adopted home.

JUDGE LEWIS RULES
CHAUNCEY WOOD WAS
RATIONAL AT DEATH
Widows Claim to Property
Against Sons Upheld Pend
ing Further Action.

Rapid City. S. D., Bep. l3.-Judge
Lewis, after hearing the arguments in
the petition brought by George F.
Schneider, administrator of the estate
of the late Chauncey M. Wood, to de-
termine the validity or some assign
ments of rents Of real estate to his wife,
Bessie Wood, said that in his opinion
Mr.. Wood was Of sound and disposing
mind at the time he made the assign
ments and continued to be so up to
within a few hour of his death.
The signatures" said Judge Lewis,
are bold and the instruments are
valid for what they are worth. L can
arrive at three conclusions of law in
considering the evidence as submitted.
"First-That the assignments are a
transfer to Bessie Wood of all the
rents and profits. This I do not believe
was the real intent of Mr.. Wood. He
was capable at the time Of signing
these instruments of making a deed
with all the formalities surrounding
such a document. This he did not do.
Secondhand the assignments are void
as against the statute of perpetuities
IN the state of South Dakota. Third
tnat the assignments convey the rents
due and those which may become due
at me uale Oh the
Il shall adhere to the latter con-
clusion and instruct the administrator
to pay over to Bessie Wood the rents
accrued. at the date of the assign
ments. That he IN the future hold the
rents accruing under present leases.
pending a compromise between Mrs.
Wood and the heirs at law of Mr..
Wood, which involves having Mrs.
Wood execute a quit claim deed to
the administrator of whatever interest
she may have in the real estate of her
deceased husband by virtue of the
three assignments. If she accepts this
then the rents accruing from the pres
ent leases shall be paid over to her,
from the date of the assignments.
IF this compromise Is not effected
by March l then / instruct the admin
istrator to bring suit in the circuit
court to have the validity of the leases
determined and the rights of the par
ties eterInined."
The amount Of property involved Is
about $25, 900 n It's present income is
$40. One lease of $50 per month has
Ave years to III and another of $25
per month has two and a half years
to run.

SIOUX FALLS CONCENTRATES
ADOPTING MOON LAW PLAN

Sioux Falls. S. D., Feb 13.-After an
exhaustive investigation the Good Gov
league has made a report in
reference to the saloon question in
Sioux Falls. in which several impor-
tant recommendations are made. The
league suggests that in view OF the fact
that working mems pay checks are
cashed in saloons on Saturday nights
that the banks lake turns in remain
Ing open for a period of an hour or
two each Saturday evening for the
purpose of cashing these checks. AT
present Sioux Falls has 80 licensed sa-
looms. The league recommends that
on July / mex this number be cut
down to 20, and that not more than 90
licenses per year be granted until the
population of the city reaches $1,000,
when an additional saloon may be Ii
censed for each 1000 of population. The
league further suggests that arrests of
drunken men be suspended for a time
as an experiment, and that instead a
few OF the saloon men who sell to in
toxicated men be prosecuted. 1t is fur
ther recommended by the league that
the city provide a first class loafing
place for all men who desire to AXE
advantage of 1t.
