gage i'm Business.

Sioux Falls, Feb. 25.-Former
United States Senator Robert j.
Gamble of Yankton will. on March 1,
become a member of the Sioux Falls
law firm of Wagner & Danforth, one
of the strongest legal concerns in the
state. The firm will thereafter have
the title Gamble, Wagner & Dan
forth.
This combination, announced from
the officers of the firm yesterday

in this city a former United States

trict attorney and a formers states
attorney. Mr.. Gamble represented
South Dakota twelve years in the
United States senate, and was sue
ceeded in 1913 by Senator Thomas

Spring immigration to South Da-
kota has commenced and every day
the freight trains bring in immi-
grants with carloads of stock and

carloads passed through Madison and
this mornings freight train from the

newcomers are bound for different
portions of the state, north and west.
The general appropriation bill has
been introduced in both houses of the
legislature. The bill totals S2,761.-
$50 for the two-year period as
against $2,461.4S4 appropriated two
years ago. The increase is due TO
larger appropriations for existing de-
partments and the incorporation in
the general bill of appropriations for
the tax commission. hog cholera, har-
dy alfalfa and other things provided
for by special bills in 1918. The bill
apportions $4,000 to the Madison
State Normal school for the ensuing
two years; Aberdeen Normal, $129.-
500; Spearfsh Normal, Sis, OOo,
Springfield Normal, S51, 900.
A Washington dispatch states that
specific legislation TO pay rural mail
carriers on standard routes $1,000 a
year was advocated by Senator Knute
Nelson during the consideration of
the ~rostoffice appropriation bill. The
bill, as it came from the house, car
ried such legislation. but the senate
committee struck it out, leaving the
matter to the regulation of the post
office department. Rural carriers in
the northwest are under great ex-
pense," declared Senator Nelson,
and they should be paid living sal
aries. They work under hard condi-
lions, particularly in winter, and my
heart goes out TO them. / don't crit
icize the p~ostofice department or

limitation, the postal deficit would be
wiped out and We would even come

WEEDS HIS
Aged Millionaire Wins His Bride
Against Younger Rivals.

Utica, N. Y, Feb. 25.-With two
ardent suitors seeking her hand, Miss
Gertrude A. Wood exercised a charm
ing woman's privilege-she took
some time to make up her mind. In
deed, it is said, she and William G.,
White of Buffalo got a license to mar
ry her last summer and went so far
as to call in a Presbyterian minister
to perform the wedding ceremony.
But the woman in this interesting
case ceased to v%acillate finally. To-
day she was married to John A. Rob-
erts, a millionaire merchant in whose
store here she has long been head OF
a department. The Rev. Howard
Hobbs, pastor of the Westminster
Presbyterian church, married them,
only members of their families being
present. Mr.. and Mrs. Roberts left
for New York, and will go to Palm
Beach for a month.
Mrs. Roberts is a handsome WON
an. perhaps 40 years old. Her bride
groom, IA years old, has been a wild
over about fifteen years. Mr.. Rob
erts' attention to his attractive en-
ploye became more and more marked
but even his intimate friends did MOI
expect him to marry again.
Seemingly the fear that she might
become another mans wife lit a mor'
ardent fame in Roberts breast. Mis-.

FROM PRISON CELL
Judge James ID. Elliott i'm Decision
This Week Gives Indian
His Freedom.

Aberdeen, Feb. 25.-That Francis
Van Moore, an Indian SEN to the
state penitentiary July 8, 1900, for
life from Stanley county, on the
charge of homicide in connection
with the death of Susan lineup. an
Indian woman, has been held in pris-
on for nearly fifteen years without
authority, is the substance of an inn
portant decision handed down by
Federal Judge James d. Elliott.
After taking the Indians case be-
fore a district court. supreme court
of the state. board of charities and
corrections and lastly before the fed
eral court, W. @. Porter. attorney OF
Aberdeen, has won a famous case.
The legal battle for the Indians
release has been waged by Mr.. Por-
ter for FIVE years. First the case was
taken to the district court at Sioux
Falls before Judge Jones about three
years ago. The case then went to the
supreme court, where a writ of ha-
beas corpus was denied.
Upon an application for pardon the
life sentence was committed to forty
years, which, with good behavior.
would have given the Indian his lib.
erty in about six years. The recon-
mendation for pardon on the part OF
the state board of charities and cor.
rection was turned down by Gov.
Byrne.
The last attempt, which has been
successful, was made before United
States Judge James ID. Elliott al
Sioux Falls. In his opinion. which
will be issued in detail on February
26, Judge Elliott will explain def
nitely in his opinion that the United
States government has absolute con-
troll over the Walking Eagle" allott-
ment, upon which the crime is said to
have been committed.
The release of Van Moore will fol-
low soon. The order by Judge Ell
lott ordering the state to give the
Indian his liberty will be issued prob
ably this week.
That the state was without juris-
diction over the allotment and the
action of the courts of the state are
null and void in this cas will be the
principal point brought out by Judge
Elliott in his detailed decision. The
United States government has always
had complete control over the allott-
ment. according to the contention OF
Mr.. Porter, and verified in the de-
cision.
The ease is famous over the state
and attracted legal attention all over
the country. Mr.. Porter, in briefs
and all through the fight. has spent
much time in an effort to give tho
man his liberty OF the ground hat he
was imprisoned without authority.
In arguments before Judge Elliott
at Sioux Falls last fall, following the
filing of the application for habea:
corpus Mr.. Porter represented thu
applicant and Royal c. Johnson o
Aberdeen represented the state.
