TOWNS BURY OLD GRuDGEs
ON JOINT LIGHTING PLANT

Miller. S. D.. Nov. 27.--The strife that
began between Miller and st. Lawrence
SO years ago over the location Of the
county seat of Hand county, now
has been blotted out, and the two
towns are linked together with wires
Of friendship that send light into the
homes of both cities. But St Lawrence
was not content to light it's homes and
streets from the electric power OF its
long time rival, so one of the st. Law
renee citizens bought the old historic
city hall a. Miller and hauled IL over
near tho eat side town, where 1t will
be used in the future. In this pioneer
hall many OF the county seat battles
of the early days were planned 1t has
associations attached to 1t that cannot
help but remind the early settlers of
its new surroundings of the early days
of the county when they gaze upon it.
AS both towns are now largely COM
POSED of people who have come on, or
grown to manhood since the strifes OF
these pioneer years, the citizens gem
orally OF st. Lawrence are happy that
they can enjoy the Miller light, and
they hold no graudge against the old
town hall that has been moved near
them, and Miller is glad and pleased to
sell the light and hall to her east side
neighbor, so there is general good feel
ing.

RICH GOLD STRIKE MADE
IN BLACK HILLS REGION

Rapid City, S. D., Nov. 27.--As the
development OF the rich placer mine
struck near Terry Lodge on Rapid
creek, 80 miles west of here, proceeds,
old miners decline to say what the re-
suits will be in case the bed rock
proves to be roughened in surface
when finally exposed Their estimates,
however, will run in eight or nine fig-
ureS.
Eddie Mitchell. who is sinking the
tunnel on the property, had bean haul,
ing out the black dirt without knows
ing its value. This Is shown to be
worth at least 5000 per cubic yard,
and 1t is estimated that Mrs. Nellie
Miller, owner Of the claim, has at least
100000 worth OF gold in the dump.
Old miners recall immense fortunes
made in strikes in the vicinity of this
claim between 1878 and 1885. At Cam
yon City, eight miles from the Miller
property, $4,000 IN gold was taken
out in "a hours, This property Is now

courts, made enough during their

NOT YET DETERMINED
If ADAMS0N'S DEATH
CAUSED BY VIOLENCE
Relatives Insist That lnvesti.

of Strangulation.

Huron, s. D.. Nov. 27.-The inquest
into the death OF Melvin Adamson.
whose death under suspicious condi-
tions is puzzling the authorities, has
been adjourned for a few days. The
stomach and part OF the lungs have
been sent to the state laboratory for
examination, and the coroner's jury is
waiting for a report on the analysis.
1t is evident to the jury that there
had been no external violence suffi-
cient to have caused death. There were
abrasions Of the skin on each side Of
the head and on one side OF the throat.
These might indicate a little light
handling, such as could have been In
flicted in a scuffle. There were no
broken bones, deep cuts or internal I'M
5uries. A theory exists among those
endeavoring to unravel the case that
Adamson, in his semiconscious condi-
ton, might have strangled himself
during an effort to relieve his stomach
of an undigested mass, his head be-
ing partially twisted under his body.
The congested condition OF his lungs
indicated suffocation.
There is a feeling among the in
quisitors that this case was neglected
by the police, who picked him up and
locked him in the Jail without inves-
tigating the cause Of his condition.
Friends and relatives of the dead
man feel that he was the victim OF
mistreatment that was responsible for
his death. His brother, @. w. Adam
son, Of Bookings, and other relatives
are here, and have employed an at
torney to act for them.

BOARD CANNOT REPAY
EVEN WHEN IT KNOWS
COLLECTION IS ILLEGAL
Railroad Company Forced to
Go Into Court For Refund of
$16.75 Road Taxes.

Plsnkinton. S. D.. Nov 27.--As the
result of suit which has been insti-
tuted in the state circuit court here
by the Milwaukee Railway company,
the next legislature doubtless win be
asked to enact legislation which will
give county commissioners of the va
rious counties of South Dakota au-
thority to refund road taxes which
have been Illegally assessed. The
Milwaukee company institutes the ac-
ton for the purpose Of recovering
$16.75, road taxes, which the company
last year paid under protest.
The suit also illustrates the atten-
ton 20 the smallest details. which Is
the practice of the great railway cor
porations OF the country. The amount
sought to be recovered represents the
road tax levied against the railway
company within the limits OF the city
of Plankinton.
The suit is based on recent ruling
or the attorney general of South Da-
kota, holding that road taxes cannot
be levied against property within the
limits of city. A ruling of the state
tax commission prevents county COM
miSsioners from refunding such Illegal
taxes, and, therefore, IL was necessary
for the railway company to institute
the action in the circuit court. The
county Is willing to refund the amount,
but cannot do so until the court orders
It done. 1t will be necessary for a
Judgment to be awarded against the
county treasurer at costs much great
er than the original sum sought to be
recovered by the railway company.
The enactment of law by the next
legislature giving county commits
sioners power to refund such taxes
will save the various counties heavy
court costs in such actions.
