PRESHO STARTS FIGHT FOR
COUNTY SEAT OF LYMAN

Pierre, s. D., June 24.-Another west
river county is promised a county seat
contest at the November election by
the circulation of petitions in Lyman
county for a vote on the question of
removal of the county seat from Ca
coma to PreSho. The petitions are
said to be receiving numerous sigma
lures In the western part of the coun-
ty. 1t is practically SIS miles from the
west end Of the county to the present
county seat at Oacoma, and the
Presho people think they have a chance
to capture the honor which Oacoma
has held since the organization of the
county many year ago. Several years
ago an attempt was made to divide the
county and create the county of Jones
of the western part the Murdo boom

fore oil lands were moi excepted from
the grant. furthermore, the railroads
contended that the exception was void.
under the law governing realty.
The government took the position
that it could show at m time. even
after the issuance of the patent that
the lands were oil in natur and thus
prevent their remaining in the hands
of the railroads.
Basis of Contention.
Previous to the government suit, a
~three-cornered nature of the contro-
versy was emphasized by Burke and
others laying claim to a portion of the
oil lands, under the placer mining laws.
They contended hat the Southern Pa
cic had no title to the lands on much
the same grounds as the government,
and asserted affirmative title for them
selves.
The Northern Pacific obtained leave,
because of its indirect interest in the
litigation, to present an argument in
the case. 1t contended that other land
grant railroads would be affected
vitality by a decision UNFOLDING Burke's
claim.
The value of the property at stake
has been emphasized by showing that
it is more han the valuation placed
upon both real and personal property
for taxation in. either Louisiana, Rhode
Island, Virginia, North Carolina, or
Nebraska, and nearly as great as that
in Georgia, Kentucky or Oregon. The
value is said to be seven times as great
as all the gold coin in the United States
and about three times the combined
public debts of the various states.
