BIG ESTATE GOES
TO "FRESNO DAN"

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 3.-"Fresno
Dan" the California seeker for a share
in the $4,000 estate of the late Daniel
Russell, OF Melrose, is declared the
rightful claimant in the report filed in
the supreme court today by Gilbert A.
Pevey, master in the case. who listened
for eleven months to the testimony.
FRESNO DAN" a the master. is un-
doubtedly Daniel Blake Russell, long
lost son Of Daniel Russell.
Dakota Dan," the rival claimant
from Dickinson. N. D., is declared to be
the mental. moral, physical nor intel
lectual characteristics Of the Russell
family, says Mr.. Pevey.
The master calls the courts attention
to the testimony given by W. witnesses
for the Dakota claimant, which he said,
was grossly false.
The report of the master settles the
case so far as the facts are concerned
and any appeal must be based on
questions of law.
The Russell will case has been before
the Massachusetts courts for four years
and has occasioned two unusually long
hearings, first in the probate court,
from the adverse decision of which the
North Dakota claimant appealed, and
second. before Master Pevey. 1t was in
the midst of the probate hearing that
the claimant now declared to be the
rightful heir jointly with William G.
Russell, another son of the merchant,
was discovered at Fresno, Cal. He was
accepted by the Russell family.
Counsel for the Dakota claimant fled
with the court IS objections to the
masters findings and asked that Mr..
Pevey be required to report in full the
evidence pertaining to the various OBJ
jections.
The principal objections relate to the
finding of the master that the Dakota
is not the son of Daniel Russell,
that William C. Russell is not mentally
deficient and that the intimation that
two of Dakota Dams witnesses COM
mitted perjury.

RICHARDS MAKES REPLY
: TO BYRNE SHOWING

Huron, s.. D.. Nov. 1.-R. o. Rich
ards has issued a reply to the recent
criticism of Governor Byrne, In which
he insists that the figures given out
by him in relation to state xpens
are official and accurate. He denies
the governors assertion that the com
pilation was made with deliberate in
tention to deceive and comfort.
Taking up each, item of his original
circular, he submits a specific query
as to the accuracy of each item listed.
The burden of his effort is to make
a showing that the low tax levy made
will not cover expenses and that it
will De necessary TO issue emergency
warrants.
Governor Byrne declared that the
/ mill levy will care for the state
financial condition for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1914, and that the
same levy will be adequate for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1915.
Mr.. Richards ignores the fact the
governor has little or anything to do
with the question of creating state
expenses. as every dollar In that line
Is directly due to legislative appro-
priations. Further, he is dealing with
affairs prior to the Byrne administra-
ton, which did not ommence until
last January.

M|xUP N BOUNDARY
LINES DESCENDING
COUNTY OF DEWEY
Tangled Survey Conditions
Found to Leave No legal

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 1-According to
evidence brought to light in a recent
research there are no legally estab-
lished outlines for Dewey county.
which was established under the sNes-
sey administration two years ago.
The original Measure establishing
Rusk county, to which Dewey is the
successor in name, provides the fol-
lowing outlines: Beginning at the

section with the 18th guide meridian,
thence south on said guide meridian to
the fourth standard parallel, thence
cas- on said last parallel to the Mis-
souri, river, and thence up n channel
of said river to the place of starting"
The mixup is Tue to the fact that the
fourth n sixth standard parallels and
the 18th guide meridians. used In this
description, never were established in
the territory affected.
AT the time Rusk county was created
there was no survey west OF the Mis-
souri, river and the, Legislators assumed
that the same system Of standard par
allels and guides prevailing east Of the
other side. However. h discovery
Of gold led to a demand for an early
survey of the Black Hills region and
an Independent base and guide vas es-
tablished out there. Later the Black
Hills survey was extended to all points
west of the Missouri.
Dewey county came onto the map
merely as a change in the name of
Rusk county, with some of the territory
being clipped off to establish Corson
county. It is now discovered that there
is no legalsdefiuition of Dewey county
