ed In Sturgis announced the death at
Greeley, Colo, from cancer, Of Mrs.
Nellie Mcmahon, who was tried here
in 1910 for the killing of ATTORNEY

insanity plea and that the evidence
was false.

spectacular appeals to the court for
her release. Later she was given
over to the custody of her friends.
She returned to Sturgis. was again
arrested and charged with insanity
and while awaiting a hearing escaped
to Colorado, where she remained UNI
til her death.

PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY
WORK OUT FEW DETAILS FOR
Isl. ANNUAL JANUARY SEES
SION.

impetus will be given the corn
growing movement among the boys
of South Dakota, according to plans
worked. out today by H. E. Dawes, of
Fultons of, the South Da-
kotag Corn Growers association, and
Prof A. N.nHume, of Bookings, Sc
cretarysofsthe organization, Mr.. Daw-
es was passing through; the city and
DR.. Hume was a speaker today at the
Dakota Wesleyan institute and the
two conferred over the meeting to be
held in Mitchell the last week in Jan
uary, 1915.
1t was decided to offer $40 in gold
to the boy in each of the three dis
tricts in the state who raises the best
corn in the various commercial club
and the bank contests now in pro-
gress. The local contests are being
carried on all over the state and priz-
es will be given to the boys getting
the heaviest yield of corn. The prizes
at the state contest will be awarded
on the basis of quality.
Another feature of interest decided
upon today was the engaging of Sam
Jordan of Missouri, to be one of the
speakers. Mr.. Jordan is afspeaker of
national repute and is one. of the
most popular speakers who has ap-
peared in South Dakota. His appear
ance on the platforrhiissa guaranty
of profit and enjoyment to his hear
ers. He has been in Mitchell attsthe
state meetings the past two years.,
The corn growers will meet in Nit
chell at the same time of the state
sessions of the live stock breeders
and the state poultry association.
The three simultaneous meetings are
regarded as the largest held in the
city each year.

received notice that the rules OBJ
iected to have been withdrawn, and
will not go into effect the first of
July as proposed by the roads in
terested. One of these rules espec-
tally objected to was that the car
riers would not guarantee any partic-
ular service or time or connections
OF any freight; and. another that
they would not guarantee nor be re-
sponsible for the contents of cars
of %perishable freight on account of
varying weather conditions. natural
characteristics. or physical condi-
tions. The objection to these rules
by the South Dakota board were on
several grounds, principally that in
connection with the two, the roads
refusing to guarantee time of deliv-
cry, and refusing to stand any dam
ages to shipments, left the shipper at
the mercy of the roads, with no re-
covery regardless of neglect ON the
part of the ccmpany.

VASECTOMY LAW
HELD TO BE VOID
JUDGE MCPHERSON DECLARES
UNCONSTITUTIONAL THE
STERILIZATION ACT OF
IOWA LEGISLATURE.

Keokuk, lathe Iowa vasectomy,
or sterilization law passed by the last
general assembly, was declared I'M
decision filed by Judge Smith Nc
Pherson of Red Oak, Ia, United Stat
es district judge of the Southern dis
trict of Iowa, here today.
The decision, which was written by
Judge Mcpherson, and affects similar
laws in other states, grants the writ
of temporary injunction applied for
by Rudolph Davis, an inmate of the
state penitentiary, enjoining the
members of the board of parole, the
warden and the penitentiary physi-
clan from causing the operation of
vasectomy to be performed upon the
complainant.
In the course of his opinion, Judge
Mcpherson says:
las. of course, all persons concede
that it would be better for society if
some men did not beget children;
diseased, deformed, mentally weak
children and criminally inclined are
brought into the world, oftentimes to
their own shame and against the in
terest of the public. But are they not
in the minimum? And must the mar
riage relation be formed under these
newly-conceived laws based upon the
b%rutaliies of many centuries since and
be allowed to take the place of the
marriage relation formed along the
true lines? Must the marriage rela
ton be based II enforced by statute
according to the teachings of the far
me- in selecting his male animals tc
be mated with certain female animal:
