seems not generally known that a
special session Of the territorial leg
islature was held April "a, 1871 called
by Governor Burbank for the purpose
of authorizing the famous Yankton
county bonds in aid OF the Dakota
Southern railroad. The legality OF
this special session was tested in the
case of Treadway VS.. Schnauber. In
this decision Judge Shannon held the
governor had no authority to convene
the session and that its acts were null
and void. The case was appealed to
the supreme court of the United
States, but meautime an act of con-
gress was secured ratifying the action
of the special session of the legisla :
ture. Other question were involved
in the appeal The United States su-
preme court decision reversed the
state supreme court, and held the vote
of the Yankton county people was
validated" by congress, and, there
fore, the action of the special session
was in force. There are no journals
available of this special session, and

TOM DARE FAILED TO

Mysterious Convict Concealed
Identity to Shield His East

Sioux Falls, s. d. Feb. 5.--MysterS
surrounds the identity Of man known
as Tom Dare, WHO nearly five years
ago was placed In the Sioux Falls PEN
itentiary, and who died few days ago.
He was serving an eight-year term Tor
attempted bank robbery at Deadwood.
To a select few IL was known that the
record name was assumed.
Enough was ascertained from Dare
during his life time to lead to the con-
clusion that he had a mother living,
and that Boston, Mass, was his home
before he wandered to the west. He
evidently was the black sheep OF the
family. and his assuming the name OF
Tom Dare was for the purpose. or

FEEDING LIVE STOCK ON
FARMS rs ROAD TO PROFIT

Mitchell, s. D., Feb. Tone Of the
best methods Of rescuing themselves
from losing grain market situation is
for South Dakota farmers to raise more
live stock and grow less wheat" said
President r. c. Perisho, of state col
lege, before the Live Stock Breeders
association at Mitchell on Wednesday.
President Perisho asserted that farmers
got 81, Zoo, GOO, 900 less for their products
last year than did the middlemen; that
although there is much talk OF build
ing terminal elevators to break the
power controlling the wheat market.
yet the farmer can do most for himself
by growing less wheat and more stock
Few things are more absurd Tor
state like South Dakota than to grow
a big wheat crop, sell Ii at a small
price and ship 1t 70 Minneapolis to be
ground into flour. Experiences in the
past show that our farmers get the
smallest price possible for the grain
and then, worst of all, they lose the by
products OF the wheat.
Zone OF the most disastrous results
OF this method of growing grain and
shipping It out OF the state arises In
our inability to keep stock on the farm
Had South Dakota last year fed the
grain which she shipped beyond the
boundaries Of the state, we could easily
have maintained 100000 to 100000 more
cattle upon the farms or the state.
When you stop to think what this
means to the wealth Of the state, there
can be no argument Of shipping grain
and not raising stock. With cattle and
hogs selling at the price which they
have the last few years. farmers have
done exceptionally well in feeding both
steers and hogs.
ESMOND-The farmers OF this vicinity,
as the result of a meeting held here, have
organized q club, and will hold meetings
at intervals, at which various improved
methods OF farming will be discussed. The
following officers were elected: President.
RoIIo Clendenning; vice president. L. X.
Baird secretary. Miss Esther Martin:
treasurer, T.. r. Grotta.

Summary Docket" Assign

rant Extended Argument.

Pierre. s. d., Feb. 9.-Dispatches
nave been sent out from Huron tnat
the supreme court of the United states
has advanced for hearing the case IN
volving the repeal of the Richarus
primary law. This statement Is only
partially true. What the United STATES
court has done is TO place this case on
what is called the summary docEet.
This summary docket" is provided Tor
by subdivision 6 of rule or the Su-
preme court, which contains the toI-
lowing clause:
Although the court, upon considera-
lion of a motion to dismiss or a mo
ton to affirm, may refuse to grant the
motion, 1t may nevertheless, II the
conclusion is arrived at that the case
Is Of such a character as not to JUSTIFY
extended argument, or the cause trans
ferred for hearing to summary
docket. The hearing OF the causes on
such docket will be expedited, the court
providing from time to time for such
speedy disposition Of the docket as the
regular order OF business may permit
and on the hearing Of such causes one
half hour will be allowed each side TOT
oral argument.
Although no motion to dismiss or 10
affirm has been made, the United
States supreme court evidently has ar
rived at the conclusion that the case
Is OF such character as not to JUSTIFY
extended argument, and hence instead
Of granting the motion to advance the
cause and hear at an earlier date, mas
placed same upon this summary docket
for speedy disposition.
The court has set April 3, as the date
| for the final disposition of the matter
which IL after the time set for the pri-
mary under the Richard law. There Is
no possibility, therefore, of the Rich
