S|GNER DEAD
TOWN OF DAVIS BECOMES DRY
BY COURT RULING.

Davis. Nov. 2O.-Because one of
the signers OF the petition asking
that the saloon question be voted on
by the voters of Davis died, Davis
has become a dry town under a de-
cision of the state supreme court,
Notwithstanding that license carried
by a small majority at the April cleo
ton.
The death of one of the signers of
the petition left the petition one
name short of the number required
by law, and this technically was suf-
ficient TO render the vote invalid and
the opportunity to place Davis in the
dry column was not neglected by the
vigilant temperance forces.
The one saloon in Davis. having
been granted the necessary license on
July 4, has been doing business since
that time. pending a decision of the
courts on the legality of the license
election. Now that the supreme court
has sustained the contention that the
election was invalid because the pc
tition lacked the necessary number of
signatures of freeholders of the town
the saloon has been closed, thus add
ing another dry spot to Turner
county.

INHERITANCE TAX
IMPORTANT CASE INVOLVING
THE RECOVERY OF $4,000
FROM DEERING ESTATE
IN COURT.

Canton, Nov. 21.-During a term
of the state circuit our for Lincoln
county, which will convene in Canton
this week, an important case inyolv-
ing the recovery by the state of an
inheritance tax a%ggregating $4,000
will come up for adjustment so far
as the lower "a can adjust the
matter. Regardless of what action
the lower court may take in the case.
il Is expected the litigation ultimately
will reach the supreme court OF the
United States.
The state of South Dakota through
the county treasurer of Lincoln coun-
ty, and the state tax commission,
started the action for the purpose of
recovering the tax in the sum stated
from the estate of the late harvester
millionaire, William Deering, whose
estate has inventoried over $4,000
000. including hat part of the estate
which is in South Dakota.
At the time OF his death, Mr.. Deer
ing was the owner of certain personal
property, consisting of obligations in
the nature of promissory notes given
by persons residing in South Dakota
and secured by them by mortgages
upon their real estate situated Who'll
ly within the state of South Dakota.
Ii is further alleged hat at the time
of his death Mr.. Deering was the
owner of certain interest bearing
bonds issued by municipal corpora
tions located within South Dakota,
the amount of the principal and in
terest of his property in South Da-
kota at the time of his death being
estimated at s2,s21,s13.1O. Under
the inheritance tax laws of South
Dakota this would entitle the state
to $4,000 inheritance tax from the
estate.
The heirs of the Deering estate
contend that the domicile of William
Deering was in the state of Illinois
that his personal property was not in
South Dakota: hat TO impose a tax is
TO take the property of the defend
ants without due process of law and
would constitute a violation of the
state and federal constitutions.
ON the other hand the state claims
hat the part of the estate claimed 10
be within South Dakota really il
within the state and therefore sub
ject TO the amount of inheritance tar
claimed.

Holbrook Ball Tossers Lose

The Holbrook base ball club played two games of ball last Saturday. both of which the club lost.
 In the forenoon a game was played with the Taylor Club on the Taylor grounds. This game resulted in score of 10 to 5 in favor of Taylor.
 In the afternoon a game was played with the Snowflake Club on the Snowflake grounds. This resulted in a score of 10 to 1 in favor of Snowflake.
 Some of the strongest players were unable to accompany the Holbrook club and the defeat of the club was not surprising. Al so the members of the Holbrook club were not in condition to play two games on the same day. They gave a good account of themselves in the game with Taylor. but they were tired in the afternoon and their defeat by Snowflake was easy.

New Postnaster at WinsIo1u

In it's issue of March IA. the Arizona Republican stated that Sam Proctor of Winslow will undoubtedly be a candidate for corporation commissioner. This fact was decided upon yesterday by prominent democrats, when the news reached here, that Will liam Daze of Winslow had been recommended by Congressman Hayden for the postmastership of that place.
 Proctor has been candidate for the place. He was violently opposed by William Kelly. and Hayden had about decided to re- commend the latter for the job, Charges were filed against Kelly. and as compromise Hayden re- commended Daze. Proctor thus being thrown out of the running there, will be a candidate for the state office. At least this is taken for granted by his demo- cratic friends, who know that Proctor is bound to get some kind of an office.
 The appointment of Daze came as distinct shock to WinsIow citizens in Phoenix. According to them. he IS a very young man, with little or no record in politi- cal circles. His father has been a prominent railroad man for some time, and it is thought that his influence swung the appoint ment.
