WILL CASE
Fathers Land source of Controversy
Between His Sons.

Beresford, Jan. 16.-The first
stage in an interesting will contest
case has been determined by a de-
cision of the state supreme court re-
versing the lower court and holding
valid the will of Patrick M%errigan,
a pioneer resident of the northern
section of Union county. The will
was executed nearly twenty-five years
ago.
At the time the will was made two
unmarried sons of Merrigan remain
ed at home-Arthur and Andrew.
The will provided that Arthur should
have two quarter sections of land
and Andrew one quarter section up
on the death of their mother. Since
that time the land has become very
valuable and recently an effort was
made to have the will declared in
valid so the land could be div
more in accordance with present day
values.
1t appears that some years ago An
drew Merrigan sold his equity in the
one quarter section to a Sioux City
party for a nominal sum. Now that

the purpose of having the will of his
father declared invalid in the hope
that If he accomplished this he might
have a chance of yet securing a por-
ton of the property left by his ia
Their.
His brother Arthur resisted the
suit to have the will declared void
and by the decision of the supreme
court continues to hold title to 800
acres of the old homestead. 1t is said
that at the time of disposing of his
equity TO the Sioux City party An
drew was not in condition to trans
act business of such importance.
1t is understood that he will not
abandon his efforts, and that he may
institute another action to have the
transfer of his equity declared void
so he can again secure possession OF
the quarter section of land willed
him by his father. Attorneys say
that the fact that so long a time
has interviewed lessons his chances
although he may yet win out.

ago. 1t is believed the old weapon
was driven into the tree by some OF
the warlike Sioux Indians, who in the
early days were accustomed to way

entered the Black Hills In search of
gold. Parkinson also found near the

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED By THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, Jan. Especial: Ger
man success in driving the French
across the Aisne, east of Scissors, is
the most important victory either
side has won In the western war area
since winter began. Its present sig.
~nificance is negligible, but if the
Germans can maintain their position
on the south of the river they will
have a permanent crossing for future
operations towards Paris.
Whether the spring campaign viii
so develop as TO permit a new drive
on Paris cannot be known TO anyone
now. But certainly this possibility
exists. and in il is a warrant fol-

sons offensive. The kaiser. recovered
from his recent illness. seems to have
selected the Aisne front for his con
valescent visit TO the firing line
which in itself suggests that more
than casual Importance is attached by
the Germans to the seizure of cross
ings over the Aisne.
At no other place have the Ger
mans secured a Judgment south oil
the Aisne. If they hold their newly
won positions. they will be able to
threaten the rear OF the French com
m~unications at Scissors and. if a Sc
rious German effort is made TO reach
Paris once more. the difficulty of the
allies defense of the Aisne positions
will be much increased.
The effort to attribute the French
defeat to the flooded condition of tht
Aisne is inappropriate. III the flood
destroyed French bridges and made
il impossible to send reinforcement
across the river. similar obstruction
ought TO have prevented the Ger
mans crossing the stream.
1t is probable that the prime rea
| son for the French defeat was the ex
| istence of "A weak spot in the French

The LEGISLATURE
SENATOR URDAHL INTRODUCES
BILLS ON NEPOTISM AND
STATE HOUSE MAN
AGEMENT.

Pierre, Jan. 16.-Senator Urdahl
submitted an antinepotism measure,
prohibiting any state official from
employing. in his official capacity
his wife or relatives.
A bill is being prepared by Sena-
tor Urdahl to switch the control Of
the state building from the secretary
of state to the governor. His base Is
that the governor is held responsible
for whatever is doEe or not done
about the state building, and that Sc
long as the general public holds him
responsible he should have the con
troll of affairs and be made respons-
ible in fact.
That the demand for appropria-
tions will be up TO the usual stand
ard is shown by the requests of the
state board of charities and correc'
tions for a million and a quarter dol
lars. The board of regents of edu'
cation will have a long list and this
| with the special appropriations which
| will be asked for will crowd over the
estimated revenues of the state foi
the biennial period.
Senator Peckham has prepared
bill amending the mothers pension
act of the state, to allow divorced
mothers with dependent children the
same privileges as those granted to
widows, holding that the divorced
mother who has to care for children
is as much entitled to the provisions
of the act as is the widow.
The free text book bill, as approx
ed by the state educational associa-
ton. was introduced in the house by
Anderson of Clark. The measure
| provides that each district buy its
| own school books, but contains a
proviso making it optional with the
| school districts whether or not the
plan be adopted.
A bill was introduced by Thomp-
| son of Minnehaha appropriatine
ls125,484 for buildings and improve
| ments at the state penitentiary In
Sioux Falls. 1t is stipulated that q
! part of the money shall be used fol-
the purchase of quarry lands and ar
/, addition to the Irvine plant.
Another move in regard to the
Springfield Normal school is being
shaped up. This Is simply to abolish
that institution SO far as any state
normal is concerned and to give thu

OLD TRAGEDY
Prospector Finds Mute Evidences In
Pennington County.

Rapid City. Jan. 16.-While pros

creek, in the western section of PEN

found an interesting relic of pioneer
days in the Black Hills. In the form
of an old scalping knife, which was
sticking in a tree. The bark of the
tree had grown around the blade un-
til it covered it for several inches,
