One Of the features of the meeting yesterday was the
general discussion which followed the address Of Mr

to hold the meeting at the court house. Such gather

SPRING SHOOTING
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
SENDS OFT CIRCULAR DENY
ING RUMOR OF LAW NOT
IN FORCE.

Sioux Falls, March "a mis-
leading statement has appeared in
some Iowa papers recently to the eff
feet that the department of agricul-
ture at Washington had announced a
new ruling in which it was given out
that the law against spring shooting
Of migratory birds would not be en-
forced. A bulletin has just been is
sued from the agriculture department
at Washington. and instead Of an
n%ouncing that migratory birds can be
shot in the spring it di-
rectly the opposite.
Under the federal regulations as
they now stand, the season on all mi
gratory wild fowl is closed until next
autumn throughout the United
States. Federal inspectors and war
dens are required, and others inter
ested in the protection of wild fowl
are requested to report to the depart
ment of agriculture all cases of VIC
lations Of the regulations, in order
that proper action may be taken.
The department of agriculture has
no power to suspend the law or to
pardon violations of the regulations.
Doubtless the impression
on which the newspaper statements
are based, has grown out of the PEN
dency of litigation involving the con
sti|tutionality of the act of congress
approved March A, 1913, under which
the regulations were promulgated.
The lower federal courts disagreed as
TO the validity of the statute and the
issue was carried to the supreme
court Of the United States. The case
was argued in the supreme court in
October. 1915, but has not been de-
cided.
Following the lower court decisions
congress appropriated money for the
purpose of continuing the enforce
ment of the law. The department of
agriculture is bound to report to the
department of justice violations of
the regulations if the supreme court
should declare the law constitutional.
All persons should, therefore, be
warned of the danger they incur from
failure to abide by the regulations.

CITY LOSES SUIT
MEEkER A DOBSON, CONTRAC-
TORS, AWARDED $1,34i, BAL
ANCE WITHHELD AND
INTEREST.

n Judgment for $1,344 was given in
the circuit court today to the con-
tracing firm of MeekeT d Dobson,
who brought action against the city
to recover $1,0S1, claimed as balance
due for constructing city sewerage,
and interest from September, 1914.
The total amount Of the judgment
was $1,344.
The trial was the third one held.
In the circuit court a year ago, a jury
found i'm favor of the city. Farmer
q Blewitt, counsel for Meeker & Dob
son, appealed to the supreme court,
and a new trial was ordered.
The sewer was constructed about
three years age, and ii was found
that the outlet was defective. The
contractors contended that it would
be impossible to properly regulate the
sewer without deyiating from the
specifications in the agreement, and
told that they would %relinquish their
claim on the $1,081 withheld, if the
fault could be overcome by follow
ing the specifications. The improve
ment work was done by another firm.
Meek q Dobson's claim that the other
firm had exceeded the Specifications
was upheld.
The jury was out from II o'clock
yesterday morning until last night.

tions. 1t was also denied by the de-
PENDANT that he had first met her at
the postoffice. He told that he first
talked with her on a train. With
regard to the ring. which she testi-
fled he had given her to bind their
troth, he said that he never had seer
the ring until il was produced in
court. He gave reasons why he CON
sidered the plaintiffs reputation bad.
X. j. Lyons, of counsel for the de-
Tense. testified that he called upon
her in behalf of his client, early in
the year 1915, and that she told him
she would not marry Mcdonnell If he
were the last man on earth.
DR.. S. Wooley gave evidence, deny
ing that one of the alleged criminal
operations had been performed at his
home, as Miss Leopold had claimed.
Following the noon recess, Charles
j. Porter summed up for the plain
tiff, and George r. Farmer and J. f..
Blewitt for the defense. The case
went to the jury shortly before 4
o'clock.

MORE ELK FOR PARK
Forty~one Animals Now Claim Wind
Cave Reserve as New Home.

Hot Springs, March 3.-Twenty-
five elk have arrived here and have
been taken to the Wind Cave Ma
tional forest reserve some miles from
Hot Springs, which will be their flu
ture home. Sixteen elk had previous
ly been placed in the park, making a
total of forty-one of these animals

ment of elk came by railroad from
Gardner, Mont, and were driven
overland to Gardner from the Yellow
stone National park, where they had
been part of an immense herd now in
the park. Fred M. Ollie, of Denver,
had charge of the shipment, and was
assisted by H. Z. Barber, n Of the
United States regular soldiers from
Fort Yellowstone. The animals were
in the finest of condition when they
arrived here.
