Pierre. S. D., March 3e.-Attorney
General Caldwell holds in reply to al
inquiry from the states attorney of
~Bonhonarne county that chapter 259.
laws of 1913, mean five miles in plain
language and not con~structively.
The provision of the law prohibits the
licensing OF a saloon within five miles of

the holding is hat it covers an area of
FIVE miles in an air line from the limits
OF such a town in all directions; that
any license granted within this area is

granted in violation of his provision is
Illegal and it is the duty of the states

ANONYMOUS THREATS
ASSIGNED AS REASON
FOR LEAVING ARMOUR
Former Wealthy Merchant Gave
Out Letters Threatening
Violence to Him.

Armour, S. D., March 27.-Threats Of
personal violence against J. c.
Cantonwine, for many years one of the
best now residents of, Armour and
Douglas county, are claimed by him
to have been responsible for his having
and acquired q section Of land three
miles from Clark, Clark county, to
which the family will move at once.
Cantonwine has, had a spectacular
career. Last year he completed a term
IN the federal penitentiary at Leaven-
worth. Kan, for alleged perjury and
attempted to conceal assets in a bank
ruptcy case instituted against him by
a number of his creditors. The case
was n of the most notable in the his
tory of South Dakota.
Up to the fall of 1906 C~antonwine
was regarded as one of the substantial
merchants of the state. His implement
and vehicle establishment in Armour
was one of the most extensive of its
kind In South Dakota. He accumulated
large areas of farm land and other
property.
He became involved in financial diff
hculties, claiming that on the night Of
september IS, 1908, he had been robbie
OF SS5,S00 In cash. He alleged that at
the time of the robbery he had in the
little safe in his store $780, 600 in bills,
$4,000 in gold and $500 in silver, and
that the safe was burglarized and the
money carried away.
As the result of a hearing before the
referee in bankruptcy it was ruled that
the story Of the burglary was untrue
and that the claim Of robbery was part
of a conspiracy on the part of Canton
wine and his wife to conceal the money
for the of d%efrauding creditors.
Cantonwine afterward was tried n
convicted on the charge Of perjury.
Recently Cantonwine gave out
threatening letters sent to him In
Armour, these being signed: "a lot Of
Citizens in Armur,'' and warning him,
to keep still and not say anything if
he wished to live in Armour. Following
the making public of these letters came
the announcement that C~antonwine had
acquired the land in Clark county and
would move there.
