COURT SAYS BOARD ACTION
FINAL ON COUNTY DOCTOR

Aberdeen, S. D., Feb. 2O.-In state
circuit court Judge Bouck ruled In the
case brought by the states attorney on
petition of II taxpayers, seeking to set
aside the contract made by the con
missioners with DR.. f. w. Freyberg as
county physician. that the action of the
commissioners had been legal in all re-
spects, and dismissed the case. The
only question left for decision was The
matter Of determining the compensa-
ton of the county physician. Both the
states attorney and E. B. Harkin. rep
~resenting DR.. Freyberg, agreed that the
compensation of the county physician
should be based upon bills presented
after h service had been rendered n
as this is the system now being fol-
lowed by the board, there was little left
to the case. The court held the board
Of commissioners was the court of last
resort so far as the contract for a III
ty physician was concerned, and that
the circuit court had no jurisdiction in
the matter,
The suit was brought when the coun-
ty commissioners awarded DR.. Frey
berg the contract as county physician
at a salary of SIS a month and SO
cents a mile mileage, one way, al
though DR.. j. O. f. K~raushaar had Of
fered to do the work for $40 a month
and Is cents mileage.

PROPOSE STRAIGHT SALARY
TO COMPENSATE SHERIFFS

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 20.--Taking away
from sheriffs their present fee and
mileage privileges, and giving them a
fixed salary with actual expense allow
hnces, is proposed in II. B. 279, intro
duced by Representative Thompson, of
Minnehaha. Salaries range from 5000,
In the smallest counties, to $4,000 in
the largest. Mileage is only allowed
for overland travel, and all railroad
fare n other expenses are to be for
actual money paid out as shown by
vouchers. All fees are to be turned
into the county treasury. Board for
county prisoners will be paid for on
a basis of actual cost. The sheriff is
allowed no per diem or mileage for con-
Veylng prisoners to penitentiary or in
sane persons to hospitals, receiving
only remuneration for his actual tx
penses.
Figures which Mr.. Thompson has
collected show that counties are spend
ing large sums in fees to sheriffs in adj
dltlon to their regular salaries and he
belleVes a great saving will be effected
by having these fees turned into the
county and cutting u extra charges
for transporting prisoners and insane
people.

Venice, (via London), Feb. 22.-The
hungarian newspapers contain vivid
accounts of the struggle in the Car
pathians. where a gigantic battle has
been in progress for so days along the
whole line of mountains some 300 miles
in length.
Nc true picture car be painted of the
general situation, since it changes from
day to day and from night to night. In
the first of the engagements. the troops
were moved with machine-like forma-
ton. but now individual heroism finds
free play.
Vicious attacks are made to gain
heights or sheltered positions. These
attacks are repealed with reckless
abandonment. Some times a position
will be gained and lost again three
times within "a hours. There is one
height on the front which has been
stormed 100 times and even now either
side a claim to hold it. No sooner
is 1t won and the victors installed On
1t han the vanquished gather new
forces and storm it again.
Meanwhile the Russians are gather
ing immense additional forces in the
