man could be traced. The body was

SEEKS COURT
FRANK GOOD LANCE, AFTER
SERVING 80 DAYS, FILES JUST
LIKE WHITE MAN.
GOSSIP OF THE STATE HOUSE
A Review 9: the Work Of the State
Government at the Capitol and
at the Various State
Institutions.

Plerre.-
The contention that the state legis-
lature Of South Dakota had no author
ity to attach any part Of the Pine
Ridge Indian reservation to any or
ganized county Of the state for publ
cial purposes has just been upheld in
an important test case by Judge Nc
Gee, OF the state circuit court for the
Fall River-Pennington county circuit.
This decision was rendered in a
case of an unusual character arising
on the Pine Ridge reservation. Re-
Gently Frank Good Lance, a Pine
Ridge agency Sioux, was arrested by
the chief Of the Indian police on the
charge of wife beating, and when TAX
en- before Judge Thunder Bear of the
Indian court, was found guilty and
sentenced to serve 80 days in the
agency Jail. Good Lance served the
term, and upon his release instituted
in the state circuit court Of Fall River
county a damage suit against the chief
OF h Indian police, the judge Of the
Indian court and the United States
Indian agent in charge OF the reserva-
ton, by which he sought to recover
$4,000 for unlawful arrest and impris-
onment. This was the first damage
suit of the kind ever instituted by an
Indian in the United States.
The federal government. through
United States Attorney Robert P.
Stewart, demurred to the complaint of
Good Lance, the contention of the
United States attorney being that the
action could not lawfully be instituted
in the state circuit court, and that the
state legislature had no authority to
attach the Pine Ridge reservation to
Fall River or any other organized
county for judicial purposes.
Judge McGee, after a hearing in the
case, sustained the contention of the
federal attorney, thus leaving Good
Lance without any standing in court
SO far as his damage suit was con
cerned.
There are rumors that an appeal
will be taken from the decision OF
Judge MCGEE. but as to this nothing
definite has yet been announced.
