TRIES TO KILL
CIRCUIT JUDGE
Ex-convict Arrested for Max
ing Bad Threats.

Winner-Sheritf Hertz an d
and Chief Deputy Houston, ac-
companied by a number of depu-
ties of Gregory county, arrived
in Winner Wednesday evening
in search of John Gregory, an
eX-convict, who was recently re-
leased from the Sioux Falls
penitenGiary. 1t is claimed that
the order of arrest was made by
Judge Williamson, who in 1910
sentenced Gregory to the peni-
tentiary for horse stealing from
Gregory county At the time
the sentence was imposed upon
him Gregory made the statement
that when he got out he would
kill the Judge and James Flana-
gan, one of the chief witnesses,
against him. About ten days
ago Gregory called at the livery
stable owned by Flanagan in the
town of Gregory and in the alb
sence of Flanagan interviewed
the employees. He stated that
he would return after he had
gone to Oacoma and seen Judge
Williamson.
1t is claimed that he went to
Oacoma, but the Judge was not
there. Since that time nothing
has been seen of the man until
it was learned that he passed
through Winner this week afoot
carrying a Winchester rifle.
Thursday morningSheritf Dwyer
and deputies of Tripp county,
and with two automobiles filled
with an armed posse, the officers
took up the trail in the direction
.of Winner. They came upon the
man nine miles north of that
place, heaoing toward the White
river. When the autos overlook
him he was covered by rifles and
while seemingly greatly surpriS-
ed, offered no resistance. He
was disarmed and brought back
to Winner, where he was formal
ly turned over by Sheriff Dwyer
to Sheriff Hertz of Gregory
county.
Gregory, it is claimed, has
served % years out of the past
30 in the penitentiary. 1t is said
that 25 years ago he kill a man in
Missouri and served time in that
state for the crime, 1t is not
known what specific charge the
Gregory county authorities will
place against him, and so far as
he has only made threats upon
the lives of Judge Williamson
and the witnesses. Gregory looks
to be about 35 years of age, but
has a rather desperate appear
ance. He is an intelligent talker
however, and regaled the officers
with tales of escapades in his
younger days. Sheriff Hertz
and party left for Fairfax with
their prisoner Thursday after
moon.

ALFALFA SHOW
Ortonville Making Prepara-
tions For a Big Time.

Arrangements for the big Corn
and Alfalfa Show, which will be
held in Ortonville, October IA
and Is are rapidly being complet.
ed and every minute detail to
make this show the greatest

The Ortonville journal says:
There is nothing being left un.
done, and everything that labor
and money can do to make the
show a grand success is being
done by the hard working COM
mittees. Nearly 5000 programs
and premium lists have been
mailed out to the farmers and
business men within the aSsOcia-
tions's territory and in South
Dakota, and if anyone is missed
they are requested to drop a
card to the secretary. Arthur
Woodman, and he will Immediate
ly furnish them with literature
explaining everything in detail.
This is a great opportunity for
Big Stone county to make great
showing, and everyone in the
county should feel that are under
obligations to assist in helping
entertain the people of Minnesota
and South Dakota, and be in at
tendance every day. All the
school children of the county
should be here on the first day,
which has been designated as
tri-county and rural school day.
The greater part Of this day will
be taken up in welcoming visitors,
departmental session, and in the
afternoon fine address by Dean
Perisho, of Broolsings, S. D.,
who will speak upon The United
States in Its World Relation
ship" Mr.. Perisho is very
forceful speaker, whom everyone
will love to hear. In the evening
drainage problems will be dis
cussed by prominent speakers.
But this is not all that will take
place on the first day. There
will be something doing every
minute. There will be 100 In
dians here who will execute their
various tribal dances and other
wise assist in entertaining.
There will be ten fine vaudeville
and musical artists who will
furnish an unlimited amount of
t1ne entertainment. The fact of
the matter is, you will have to
come early and stay all three
days to see all the attractions.
There will be no wasted time
every minute will be occupied.
Commence to make arrange
ments now to be on hand early
the first day for that is to be the
big day for this county, and
above all things, don't forget to

new JUDICIARY
ELECTION Law
Provisions of New Non-Par-
tisan Judiciary Law.

Few are aware that the next
election of supreme court Judges
for South Dakota will be held
under a new law which differs
radically from the law under
which the judges have been elect
ed in the past. Acting on the
suggestion of the State Bar as
sociation the last legislature
passed what is l1nownas the nom
partisan judiciary law.
In response to a request for
an explanation of the new law,
George H. Marquis of Water
town, former circuit Judge,
and who it is understood is like
ly to become a candidate for the
supreme bench at the next cleo
tion of supreme court judges has
submitted the following:
THE last legislature, acting
upon a recommendation of the
South Dakota Bar association,
changed the method and manner
of electing Judges of the supreme
and circuit courts of this state.
Hereafter they will be elected
upon non partisan ballot. The
law provides that in the petition
for nomination, and in the ballot
itself, no reference shall be made
to the party at1iliation of the cam
didate. The ballot will be sep
arate and will be headed ''Non-
Partisan Judiciary Ballot. " If
there are but two candidates in
a supreme court, district court;
or circuit court circuit, they will
not be voted upon at the primar-
les, but if there are more than
two candidates in the same dis
trict or circuit, they will be voted
on at the primaries and the two
receiving the highest number of
votes at the primaries will be
the only candidates for the Office
to be voted upon at the succeed
ing fall election. There can be
but two candidates for the same
supreme court district or circuit
court circuit at the fall election,
and one object of the law appears
to be to secure two candidates at
the fall election so that the voters
mao exercise choice, and not
find. as has so frequently been
the case, that there is but one
candidate who can be elected by
his own personal vote, and who
will, therefore, consider their
votes merely complimentary. OF
course, anotherand the main OBJ
ject of the law is to remove the
judicial offices from political and
partisan strife, and make judges
independent of political machines
and bosses.
The state is divided into five
supreme court districts, in two
of which the fourth and fifth
there will be vacancies upon the
supreme bench to be filled by
election in November, 1916. y

TEN MILLIONS
FOR SCHOOLS.
Aggregate Expense of Con-
ducting Schools of State.

Pierre-Ten million dollars
year is the approximate cost of
maintainance of the schools and
counties OF South Dakota, as
shown by the figures of reports
prepared for the fiscal year end
ed June 30, last so far as coun-
ties are concerned. and for the
previous yeara as to schools, the
later tiures of such expenditures
not being available, but with the
general increase for the past
ten years the total will go fully
ten million. with the showing of
figures available at 50, 429,O99.
This is a jump from 3,397, ,626
for the same comparative items
in 1905, or ten years ago. The
school maintenance is S5,4l3, OS4,
and the general county main
tepance is S4.0O6,432. Two of
the items which show a heavy
advance is that of teachers wages
a nd highway expenditures.
Teachers wages have advanced
from S955, 4O4 in 1905, to $780,.
s5l in 1914, as one OF the heavy
increases in educational expense.
Highway expenditures went from
S274 ,4S2 in 1905 to 81, ,217, 800 i'm
1919. The country figures of
81, ,s61 ,OO7 in 1894 and S4,OO6, 432
in 1918, are simply general main.
tenance figures, and do not in
clude bond or interest payments
nor the figures of school loans
which go as expenditures in .
general statement. The schoo
figures of 81, ,536,619 for 1905, and
50. 4l3,O64 for 1915 both contain
the item of interest on bonds.
Expenses
In the same period, the eXpen-
Ses of maintenance of the state
Tor the same period shows that
the expenditures for 1905 were
81, ,2l5:952, and the same COM
parative figures for 1916 show
$3.50, ,94s.
Probably no subject has been
/ given greater publicity in the
state the past few years than
the increase in public eXpendi
lures, and i'm the discussion as it
has been carried on, this has
been charged largely to state
expenditures but the cold figures
are shown by official reports in
dictate that there has been a ma
terial change in local expendi
lures as well as i'm state eXpen.
ditures, in fact the ratio of in.
crease appears to have been
larger for local purposes thar
for state pu rposes.
