The ease was originally set for
trial last fall, but when it was called
.affidavits were produced by physi-
clans in Sioux City to the effect that
the defendant had been injured so
severely i'm an automobile accident
as to prevent his appearance at that

which was furnished by a Sioux Falls
surety company.

AFFINITY TROUBLES
OTHER MAN PuMNEIED, Ar
RESTED AND FINED
DIVORCE.

Clear Lake, March 14.-lmposi-
ton of a fine Of $500 upon Fred Al
bright. of Gary, in the state circuit
of Deuel. county, and the grant
ing of a divorce by Judge Sherwood
to Charles Greene. of Clear Lake,
from his wife, Lydia Nj. Greene, are
the concluding chapters in a sensa-
tional marital case.
The first knowledge the public had
of the case was when Greene and
some of his friends waylaid and pun
meled Albright n night several
weeks ago soon after his arrival in
Clear Lake, presumably for the pur-
pose of visiting Mrs. Greene. After
receiving a beating, Albright was or
dered to leave town, which he did.
The next development was the COM
mencement of a criminal action
against Albright in the state circuit
court, and an unusual feature was
that Mrs. Greene was the complain
ing witness. Whether or not she was
forced by her husband to start the
criminal action against her alleged
affinity has not been revealed.
This, however, did not save her
from a separation from her husband,
who was granted the divorce on the
grounds of cruel and inhuman treat
ment. Judge Sherwood also gave the
father the custody of their only child,
a little daughter, and ordered that
the mother be not permitted to visit
or associate with the child.
In addition to being fined the $40O
Albright was also sentenced to a term
of one year in the Sioux Falls peni-
tertiary, but the prison section OF the
sentence was suspended by Judge
Sherwood on condition that Albright
abstain from intoxicating liquors in
future. and that he make a report to
the court whenever he is required to
do so.
Albright paid the fine of $500 and
furnished a bond of $1,000 for good
behavior.

Wins FIRST CASE
TRIAL or ONE OF VIENNA SA-
LOON CASES COMPLETED
SATURDAY.

Vienna, March 1.-THE effort to
close the two saloons in Vienna, the
only ones remaining in Clark county
met with success in the trial of the
first case which was completed in a
special term of circuit court in Clark
Saturday. In the case Of the state OF
South Dakota VS.. Christ Carlson and
T.. A. Baldwin, Judge Sherwood de
cided in favor of the state, holding
that the saloon in question, is a pun
lie nuisance and should be abated.
Attorneys for the saloon men and
for the state and prohibition forces
waged a hot legal battle from start
to finish of the trial, and the court
room was filled at every session in
which the case was taken up. A large
delegation of the w. c. II. u. of vi
emma and many others interested in
the case was i'm attendance.
The testimony tended to show that
Intoxicating liquor was sold to boys,
drunken men and habitual drunk
ards; that large and disorderly
crowds congregated in front of the
saloons and used loud profane Ian
guage, which could be heard for
some distance. 1t was alleged by the
plaintiff that women were nearly
crowded off the sidewalk by drunken
men and sometimes insulted by them.
Conditions i'm and about the saloon
became particularly Objectionable on
rainy days, Saturday nights. at clos
ing time. and on all sports days or
gala occasions, it was claimed.
An absolute denial Of the allega-
tons Of the plaintiff was entered by
the saloon men. Their testimony was
TO the effect that they did not know
ingly sell anything to minors, drunk
en- men or men in the habit OF becom-
ing intoxicated, and claimed that
their place was conducted in an or
derby manner.
In giving his decision, the court
declined to grant the usual stay in
execution Of the judgment, because
such stay would entirely nullify the
proceedings.
The saloon men announced Their
intention to appeal the case to the
supreme court and the outcome will
De WdlIlIGu Win diAh2Go
! all parts of the state. AS far as Is
known, this is the first instance IL
South Dakota of an attempt to close
a saloon under the statute relating
TO public n~uisances. The difference
between this procedure and the usua
action to close saloons by prosecuting
the proprietor for failure to observe
the liquor laws in a jury trial, 1t Is
explained, is that the complaint IL
this case, was directed more agains'
the institution than against the mel
conducting the saloon. 1t was ar
gued that the saloon was a nuisance
because it afforded the place to coz
nit crimes complained of.
The trial OF the second case, sim
liar in many respects to the first, vii
be taken up tomorrow. Those famll
lar with the proceedings anticipate
harder fight in the second case thar
in the first.
