REVERSES
DITCH CASE SUIT
SUPREME BODY MAKES RULING
ON ISSUE RAISED BY UNION
TOWNSHIP FARMERS.

BY the decision of the South Da-
kota supreme court, handed down
yesterday at Pierre, property owners
OF Union township won their CON
tention that they should not be fore
ed to an assessment of $7.23.90 for
benefits alleged to have been %receiv-
ed from drainage ditch No. 6. The
supreme court reversed the decision
handed down by Judge Frank b.
Smith in the circuit court of Dawson
county.
The matter vas brought into court
when the residents of Union town
ship appealed to the circuit court
against the digging of the drainage
ditch, which is in the northwest cor
ner of Lisbon township and runs to
the county line. The court denied
the appeal and the matter was car
rled to the higher judicial body.
The assessment of $7.23.90 was fix
ed by the county commissioners of
Dawson county for benefits claimed
to have accrued to the drainage of
land i'll Union township. The case
involved considerable litigation and
its career through the courts was
watched with interest.

MOST STOCK
SHIPPED YET
BRULE COUNTY FEEDERS ARE
CLOSING WHAT HAS PROB.
ABLY BEEN THEIR MOST
PROSPEROUS YEAR.

Chamberlain, S. D.-The corn +
in this locality has nearly all been
harvested with a good quality which
will all grade No. 2, with an average
yield of 16 to 90 bushels per acre.
The stock men are buying up the sur
plus at so to IS cents per bushel. Hay
is plentiful and stock never was in
better condition to go into winter
than it is at this time. Stockmen are
all stocked we'll with horses, cattle
and hogs, with a scarcity of sheep.
More hogs have been shipped out of
this county the past year than in any
other year in it's history, while the
shipments of cattle and horses are
up around the high mark. BY those
VIC know it is said that Stockmen
have cleaned up more profits the
past year than in any other year ever
known. The partial failure of small
grain the past three years will cut
down the acreage for small grain
next season which will be added to
that to be planted to corn which has
never failed here. Public sales of
stock cattle have been numerous this
fall. Cows are selling at from $50 to
SS5; spring calves from $25 to
$3.50 and yearlings at $40 to $50.

CAN'T EMPLOY HUNTER
UNDER A LICENSE

holds that it is not legal for the hold

another license hunter to hunt for
him for a consideration. He holds
that the hunting privilege is only a
personal one, and that the holding
of a hunting license does not carry
any rights for purchase of game.
1t is also held that the state game
wardens have the right to go upon
private property for the purpAse of
investigating violations of the game
