AGED MAN LOSES way
AMONG ROUGH BREAKS
NEAR HIS HOMESTEAD
Dead Body Found In Deep Gulch
After Long Search-He Was
Former Iowa Man.

Inland, s. D., April 19.-B. r.. Titus,
SO years Of age, and somewhat DEF
mented, wandered into the rough and
broken Mud Buttes district, In this
county. and died from exposure while
a searching party was securing the
region in search for him.
Mr.. Titus had been staying part Of
the time at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Ed Peregrine. although he had a
claim m claim shack of his own, not
far distant. He went to the ON OF
his son, lei Titus, and from there
started for his own claim shack, on an
adjoining quarter, but out Of sight
from the Ben Titus home.
After leaving his sons home, 1t Is
supposed Mr.. Titus took a notion to
go to the home OF Noah Bingham, some
distance away and that he lost his
bearings In the rough breaks.
Ben Titus discovered his fathers
absence about 5 o'clock in the after
noon and at once instituted q search.
Several neighbors joined with him and
the son spurred activity by offering a
reward of $50. The senior Titus dis
appeared Tuesday afternoon and II
was not until Thursday morning that
Pat Short and Noah Bingham found
his dead body In q deep gulch in the
Mud Buttes region.

JUM5LED RECORD ON
SENATE BILL NUMBER POP

Pierre. s.. D., April 17.-Does a bill
become a law when the printed journal
fails to show any roll call for or men,
ton of final passage, and the bill
clerks record says 1t was indefinitely
postponed, and still a later page in the
journal shows that Il vas correctly en-
crossed and enrolled and signed by the
speaker, and later given to the COVER
nor and there properly signed and filed
with the secretary OF state.
This has happened to senate bill No.
202, which IL a bill prohibiting more
than 10 per cent in the, aggregate for
interest n commissions TO be charged
upon any real estate loans. introduced
by John c. Stoner, of Perkins county.
The bill passed the senate in good or
der, and the house journal OF February
rs shows first and second readings in
the house. h bill clerks record OF
postponed, but the house journal C
OF March s a no mention OF any final
disposition Of the bill. However, at
page 1916 Of the journal of the house
of March 5 is shown the report that II
has been correctly engrossed and en-
rolled, the same journal, at page
1925, shows that 1t was signed by the
speaker. The bill was given to the
governor and signed by him.
The question is whether the records
showing no mention Of final passage of
h senate bill in the house, is defective
as a law Of South Dakota The senate
journal Of March 5 contains a message
from the house saying the bill had
passed the house without change.

GOVERNMENT CONCESSION
BOOSTS TOURIST PROSPECTS

Deadwood. S. D.. April 21.-Through
h passage by the last congress of a
new law, the summer tourist business
in the Black Hills is expected to be
greatly increased. The law provides
that anyone may select a plot of ground
not to exceed five acres at n point
in the national forest, where they may
erect a summer residence and may
lease the land from the government at
q nominal rate for a term Of years.
The forestry officers are required to
select such available sits as they deem
wise and survey and plat the same,
or an individual may select what he
wishes and a the officers survey
and plat it for him. He is also per-
United to use sufficient timber to erect
q dwelling n necessary buildings. 1t
is expected that this law will result in
many summer homes being established
here by people in the eastern part Of
the state and in other adjoining states.
The commercial clubs are preparing to
assist all such persons who desire To-
cations for hummer homes.
