FORMER OFFICERS TO
HOLD OVER AT EXTRA
LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Precedents Investigated in 1?
States Are Against New
Organization.

Pierre. s.. d.. Feb. 7.--There has been
considerable discussion among legisla-
tive members as to whether the organi-
Zatiop of officers OF each body would
hold over from the regular session and
hold their position for the extra session.
Some have commended that it would be
necessary to elect a new speaker of the
house. president pro tempore OF the
senate, and the other officials.
An investigation of IS different
states. and their special sessions, shows
that out of that number selected al
random nine held special sessions with
the same officers presiding as al tha
previous regular session and that they
no thought of doing otherwise.
Three of the states in the list passed
special resolutions authorizing the Of
ficers of the previous regular session to
continue. Only one state. Wisconsin,
made any new elections. In this par
ticular case, a president pro tempore of
tne Senate. speaker of the House,
chief clerk and sergeant OF arms for
each body were elected. All the re-
malning officers were included in one
general resolution and adopted that
way. without further detailed election.
The study of these states also shows
mat, almost without exception. n ger
ing just what help the session would
need IN the way OF engrossing and en-
rolilng force, Stenographers, doorkeep-
ers, etc. there being but a very limited
number OF these provided for the spe-
cial session.
A study of constitutional law shows
that there Is no provision in any Of the
STATE constitutions concerning the or
ganization Of officers for special ses-
sions. the matter being conducted
through a general following of prece.
dent.

ira session will convene. call the roll.

ness without further delay, only elect

Few things are more absurd for Il

price and ship 1t to Minneapolis to be
ground into flour. Experiences in the

Had South Dakota last year fed the
grain which she shipped beyond the
00unda-teS OF the state. we could easily
have maintained 100000 to 800. 900 more
cattle upon the farms Of 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

have the last few years. farmers have
done exceptionally well in feeding both

The register and receiver call atten-
ton to the fact that the statutory per-
iod allowed in which to submit final
proof upon a homestead entry made
prior to June 6. 1912. is years
from the date of entry. In the case OF
Trip county homestead entries mai.
in h spring of 1903 the seven-year
period will expire this spring. and the
entrymen, therefore, have not much
time left in which to take steps to
make final proof. or they will become
involved in serious difficulty.

Mysterious Convict Concealed
Identity to Shield His East

Sioux Falls. S. d.. Feb. o.-Mystery
surrounds the identity of a man known
as Tom Dare. who nearly five years
ago was placed in the Sioux Falls pen
itentiary, and who died a few days ago
He was serving an eight-year term for
attempted bank robbery at Deadwood.
To a select few it was known that the
record name was assumed.
Enough vas aScertained from Dare
during his life time to lead to the con-
clus!on 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 am of
Tom Dare was for the purpose of
shielding his mother from the odium
that might result from crimes he might
commit during his reckless and wasted
life. Therefore. the mother. back
east" of whom he often spoke. doubt
less never will know tina her son died
behind prison bars.
Dare attempted to rob the First Ma
tional bank, of Deadwood. while he was
in an intoxicated condition. His friends
always have maintained that because
Of his liquor befuddled brain he did not
realize what he was doing. The at
tempt was easily frustrated n Dare
was taken into custody.
Last August he made application for
parole. reciting that he was suffering
from tuberculosis and could not live
long, but a protest from the Black Hills
caused his application to be denied. To
riends he at the time wrote that he
wished a parole sc that he could make
a last visit to the mother back east"
