FoRGER WANTED AT MADISON
IS CAUGHT AT ALBANY, ORE.

Madison. S. D., March 24.-The Lake
county authorities have been notified
OF the arrest at Albany, Ore, of lobe
Smith, who for some time has been
wanted here on the charge OF forgery.
The search for the fugitive has extend
ed over a large number Of western
states. Smith for some time made his
home with Frank Kiner, a Lake county
farmer. During the temporary absence
of the farmer, Smith made his disap-
pearance, appropriating a suit Of Kin
er's best clothing. He then visited
Madison, where he made several pur-
chases, rendering in payment checks
for $50 and $50 each, to which the
signature of Kiner, 1t is alleged, had
been forged. Both checks were de-
clared worthless when they were
banked, but Smith had disappeared.
The local authorities nave been advised
that, following his arrest, he confessed
to passing one worthless check and Of
fered to pay Jack h amount secured
by him on the check If the case against
him is dropped.

CITIES IN ERROR ON
BELIEF LEGISLATURE
ADOPTED HAGEN BILL
No New Method Fixed For Go
ing Back to Old Form Of
City Government.

Pierre, s. D., March 22.-For some
unknown reason officials in several
South Dakota cities have derived the
impression that the recent legislative
session adopted a special measure to
enable commission governed cities to
return to the former plan. Watertown
and Huron citizens have been planning
on conforming to the system which
they thought had been devised, but
which has not come to light so far, In
a search OF the legislative measures
which were passed.
Senate bill z, introduced by Hagen,
OF Beadle county-the only measure
covering this subject-seems to have
been defeated In the senate and v
came up for consideration on the u
side. A search OF the records shows
no other bin providing for. this change
Of administration, al least as disclosed
in the titles of the bills.
Senator Hagen's bill was introduced
early in the session and was labeled
as AN act for cities to change from
the commission form of government to
a form of government under mayor n
aldermen"

new AUTO LAW FOUND
TO Be BADLY MIXED
ON LICENSE FEATURE
Fails to Make ANY Provision
For Secretary of State

Pierre, s. d., March 24.-Because the
Automobile license act does not say II

or appropriated, and IL uoes nos
appropriate the money from the slats

done since two years ago, excePtn
hat he shall q vouchers upon tho

urer, and that the auditor SHAH uraM

expenditures.
The law. however, either in title or
subject matter, fails to say tine money
Is appropriated" and the senate anu

with majority" vote as ordinary laws

way as an appropriation measure ana
did not pass with the necessary lapsi'
having received two-thirds vote OF the

Tor all Appropriation HedSuiSS'
The law still provides that car owners
and dealers shall get licenses and tags
and that Is per cent Of such funds re-
ceiVed shall be sent TO the state treas
urer through county ~treasurers. II also
provides cars cannot be operated with
out such licens and tags. II the secre-
tary of state cannot get the money
from the state treasurer to supply the
licenses and tags, because the new act
does not specifically appropriate II, tnen
owners cannot receive tags or Incense.
1t is not known what ruling the at
torney general will make upon the act
but laymen here, among state OFFICIALS
believe the act cannot possibly be con-
sidered an appropriation act.
The secretary Of states department
has received a ruling upon the opera
ton of the act as to license features.
in which It is held that the price OF
auto licenses, until January l, 1915, will
be SO for automobiles, 50 for motorcy-
cles, $40 for dealers. extra plates ~ per
pair, and transfer 81 each. That cars
bought after June 80, 1915, can have
half rate, and that autos in use five
years, preceding January l. 1915, get
a one-half rate. In other words, the old
law is still In effect, excepting that
dealers get half rate. or IS, after July 1.
The new law, as to cutting the fees,
will not begin to operate until January
/, 1916. though other provisions will be
operative July ]. 1915.

government has issued the proclama-
ton opening the Standing Rock In

event there are two or more applicants
for the same piece of land, then these
contestants will draw lots.

HANSEN SEES PROSPECT OF
REAL ESTATE ACTIVITIES

Pierre, s. D., March 20.-Deputy Land
Commissioner Nels Hansen has re-
turned from making land indemnity fill
lngs IN Butte county, lee Belle
Fourche. The western portion of the
state is in for large land deals this
year, as well as the eastern portion,
according to the stack of inquiries from
Interested buyers received by the land
commissioner from various sections of
South Dakota, and from outside sources
as well. Last years good crops, to-
gether with the prospect Of plenty of
moisture again this year from heavy
SHOWS, is thought to be the reason, to-
gether with the fact that people are
not going to Canada this year as in
former years. North and South Da-
kota, with other border states, probably
noticed the Canadian immigration more
than the central states.

OF a sensation was created Il Aberdeen

erto an advocate of saloon license,

spring election. The economic waste,

which event Aberdeen, by voting out
the saloons this year, would undergo

some OF the reasons advanced for the

Pretended TO help
OFFICERS IN SEARCH
Later Information, However,
Results In the Arrest Of
"Blackie" AtteIl.

Edgemont, s. D., March 20.-Posing
as an innocent bystander who desired
to aid the OFFICERS In running down
some postoffice robbers did not save
"Blackie" Pat Attell, a smooth young
man, from being arrested for being the
leader OF the three men who committed
he robbery.
After n search, extending since last
october, Attell vas arrested a few days
ago at Alliance, Neb., through III eff
forts of the United States authorities

plicated In the robbery OF the Edgemont
postoffice on the night Of October B,
last.

manned for a time in Edgemont. He
spent most of his time with the offi-
GERS, telling them a story Of how ne
had come In contact with h robbers
and apparently rendered what aid he
could to the officers in running down
n robbers. But none Of his advice
seemed to ,lead TO results. Then Attell
disappeared from Edgemont and 1t soon
ecam suspected that he was the chief
OF the band. An immediate search was
instituted for him. IND this was prose-
cuted until he was located at Alliance
a few days ago.
Information has reached South Da-
kota that Attell has served four terms
In state prisons, one in Kansas, two In
California, and in Wyoming, for
various offenses.

Simple fare In quite the rule now

long as the war Is on. Meals In he
royal household have never been SO
elaborate during the present reign as
they were In King Edwards time. King
George is not nearly 80 much Of an
epicure as his father was. He has to be
exceedingly careful what he eats, and
he avoids rich foods both for preference
and OF necessity. for he occasionally
suffers from gastritis. Both the king
and queen prefer boiled fish. and meat
cooked quite plainly, without an album
dance of cunningly seasoned sauces
which delight the heart OF a clever
French chef. A recent dinner menu at
h palace consisted mainly OF boiled
turbot, a dish OF outlets, a fruit salad,
