new COUNTIES TRYING
TO REACH AGREEMENT
ON POINTS AT ISSUE
Legislature Failed to Provide
Division of Indebtedness
For Stanley County.

Kadoka. S. D.. June 4.-As the last
legislature, because Of the intricate
questions involved, failed to enact leg
~islation for the adjustment of differ
ences between the counties of Stanley,
Haakon and Jackson, representatives
Of the three counties are holding q
series of meetings for the purpose OF
striving to arrive at a settlement of the
matters at ssue.
Haakon and Jackson counties have
been carved from Stanley county,, n
the chief question to be determined by
the representatives of the mother coun-
ty and the two offspring is as to what
proportion of the indebtedness of Stan
ley county shall be assumed by the W
new counties. A settlement now Is In
a FAIR way to be made.
The total Indebtedness of Stanley
county is approximately s131,000. By
the terms Of the settlement which now
is about to be concluded Haakon coun-
ty will assume $4,000 of this indebted
ness and Jackson county's share of the
Indebtedness Of the mother county Will
be about $4,000. If a settlement on
this basis can be reached, as expected,
all three counties will be in good
financial condition and non Of them
will have enough Indebtedness to u
worry to any Of the residents.

so general interest in this part of the

w. Martin, Gus Kellar and other local
men against the Homestake Mining
company for possession of the water
right in the III Carbonate district, west
of here, known as the Moore-Lardner
water right.
The water right, is is claimed, was
originally located by Lardner, Clark
and Moore in 1877. the Homestake
buying it from them and for about 35
years using it. Some time later, it is
alleged, the late George w. Hoshier To-
Gated a mining claim in the district
which covered the water right, n
then sold these claims to the plaintiffs
in this suit.
The latter charge that the Home
stake built a dam and stored the water,
which they allege rightfully belonged
to them. The Homestake denies their
right and claims the possession and
use u~ndisputed of the water right. for
so many years gives them full title.
Many of the old timers who have not
been in town for % years are here Is
witnesses, and the suit promises to
drag out quite a while. The Home
stake is said to have paid originally
over $4,000 for the water right in
question,
