MILITARY RULE OF INDIANS
NO LONGER APPLICABLE

Sioux Falls, S. D.. July S.-Official
advices that the United States circuit
of appeals has just disposed of a case
Of statewide interest by reversing the
decision Of the lower court in the case
have just been received by e. E. Wag-
ner, of this city, former United States
attorney for South Dakota. The case
Is hat of the United States VS.. Albert
Fisher, a South Dakotan, charged with
having removed cattle from an Indian
reservation without authority of the.
secretary of war. The decision just
rendered holds that such authority was
not necessary.
Acting under an old statute there
a V been a number of prosecutions in
South Dakota and it was one of these
the case against Fisher-that has
finally settled the matter and estab-
lished a new basis for dealings upon
Indian reservations. AS attorney for
Fisher Mr.. Wagner carried the case
through. and now has received word for
a decision favorable to his client.
The defendant was indicted in May,
1914, by a federal grand jury at Dead
wood, charged with the offense of re-
dian reservation in violation of a
statute enacted in 1865, which made it
an offense, punishable by a fine or i'm
prisonment, for any person to remove
stock from the Indian country without
first securing an order from the secre-
tary of war. A demurrer was inter-
posed to the Indictment by Fisher on
the ground hat the statute no longer
was applicable, since the military
branch of the government had ceased
to control the Indians.

JAMES. PROMISING "oASlS,"
NOW UNDER COMMANDMENT

Aberdeen, S. ID, July 6.-The tenn
perance forces have attacked James, a
small town 10 miles east of Aberdeen,
and the last remaining oasis" IN
Brown county. Papers nave been file
with Judge Thomas l. Bouck, of the
state circuit court. asking for a writ OF
~certlorari, closing the two saloons
which opened at James on July l, on
the ground that the proceedings of the
board OF supervisors of Henry town
ship, in which James is situated, were
Illegal In regard to the placing of the
license question on the ballot at the
township election ON March 2, and in
regard to the granting of the licenses,

Ladner.
II is denied that the required num-
Der OF legal ~freeaolders signed the petit
ton that the question be submitted to
a vote. OF the 26 signers of the petition,
three were members of the board of
supervisors whom the complaint claims
Were disqualified from signing such
petition. Three others, it is claimed,
were disqualified because they Were
not legal freeholders of the township
for a year last past, inasmuch as they
had not been the ownertof at least n
acre of land in the township for that
period, as required by the state law.
Another signer, it is asserted, was not
only a legal freeholder, but not a voter
in the township.

Syyerson was charged with violating

new RULING MADE ON
VETERINARY SERVICE,
TEST SUIT PROBABLE
Now Claimed Five-Year Law
No Good to Those Not Legally
Registered In 1909.

Pierre, S. d. July 5-A test case
viii undoubtedly set into the courts
on the validity of the live stock SAM
tary aw as TO regulation of licenses
to veterinarians. The 1913 law said
that those. who had practiced in this
state five years as veterinarians could
have licenses issued to them without
examination. In 1908 a law was
passed concerning licenses, and for
mer Attorney General Johnson ruled
that the mere practice for five years,
reVio to 1918, was all that was re-
CURED TO get a license without exam
lnatiop.
Some conteaaed that Their, were
practitioners who had practiced for
that length Of time, or since 1909, who
had not done so legally, as they had
not oheyed the 1909 law and had not
been properly licensed at tina time,
but that the actual practicing for five
years p~Tecedlng 1919, regardless OF such
licenses, fixed eligibility, was the hold
ing n upon it the board issued IL
censes.
Now h graduate veterinarians raise
the point that such five years of prac-
nee was Illegal in those cases where
there was no license obtained under
the 1903 law, and that, therefore, such
persons cannot legally claim exenap-
llon from examination INK secure Ii
cense under the 1913 law, because OF
continuous practice, The present at
Iorney general has overruled the for
mer holding and rules that persons
not legally practicing under the 1909
act cannot claim the exemption, and
further examination before securing
incense IS necessary. The case will have
a hearing at Pierre soon, on the SOM
~ get into h higher courts for final
settlement.

HoBoES RESCUE WOMAN
WHO TRIES TO END LIFE

Aberdeen. S. D., July 6.-Mrs. Henry
Day,.of Raymond, Mimi, owes the fact
that she is alive and well today to a
number of hoboes, who rescued her
from an attempted murder. Mrs. Day
arrived here on a visit to a ~bgofherin-
law, James Rock. at Ordway, in this
county. She had failed to notify her
relatives of her impending arrival, and
when she reached here there was no
one to meet her. The long ride on the
train and the consequent fatigue had
evidently unbalanced the woman, for
she left her belongings in the Great
Northern station. and walked into the
country, where she leaped into a pond,
evidently with suicidal intent. The no.
boes saw her and effected a pronp
rescue. The woman was unconscious
and wringing wet, with the weather
very cold for this period of the year,
and the trannps hastily covered her
with their coats while they notified the
city authorities, who took the woman
to a local hospital fc- care. She had SIS
in money, a gold watch and her we'd
ding ring on her person and all of these
We're found perfectly safe.
