NEW COUNTY OF JACKSON TO
PUSH GOOD ROADS CAMPAIGN

kadoka, S. d., May 1.-The people
cf jackson county are very much alive
to the value of good roads. A move
ment Is now on foot to build a turn
pike across Jackson county from STAN
ford on the east to interior on the west,
a distance of about So miles. The own
OF Kadoka started the ball rolling" by
%turnpiking the n and a half miles of
the Scenic highway within its corporate
limits last year. Wall township has
recently laid out a new road across the
entire width Of the township lying
along the south side of the Milwaukee
track. Weta township has selected a
route to join the Wall township line
and making a direct route from Kado-
ka to Weta. Weta township and inter-
Tor townships will no doubt be able to
open a new short line between their
respective towns this summer. Belvi-
dere township Is alive on the east and
expects to open a short line between
there and Kadoka. A strong effort is
being made to have Kadoka township
grade and turnpike the line from the
town limits to the Belvidere township
line. Without doubt this line will be
very much improved and a large part
of 1t graded in good shape before fall.
Part of the route is already marked
n the balance will be attended to in
the near future.

DANFORTh ACTION JUST
DEMAND FOR ENUMERATION

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 29.-It Is
seldom that an attorney demands an
investigation of his professional acts,
but such is the case with reference to
George j. Danforth, an attorney of
Sioux Falls. Last winter the son of a
former client of Mr.. Danforth, laboring
nder a misapprehension of the facts,
tiled a complaint with the state SUI
preme court against Mr.. Danforth. Sub
sequently the man who filed the COM
plant filed an affidavit withdrawing
the charges and completely generating
Mr.. Danforth. However, not satisfied
with this, Mr.. Danforth recently de-
manded that the matter be fully inves-
tigated so he could be legally cleared
from all reflections on him as an at
torney, and the supreme court now has
appointed Philo Hall, Of Bookings, for
mer congressman from South Oak ta,
to act as referee in the investigation
demanded by Attorney Danforth.

FORMER EGAN RESIDENT -
SURVIVES WAR SERVICES

Egan. s.. D.. April ga letter re-
cetved by Mr.. and Mrs. Relf, of Egan,
from Albert Bourne, a former South
Dakotan, was the first definite infor-
nation that he had lived to serve out
his time with the British artillery on
the western line in Belgium and north
ern France. He was one of the first to
go to the front. A few months ago he
wrote his friends in South Dakota that
his term was about to expire, but fail
ure to heal from him since caused fears
that he had been killed during the clos
ing days of his active service.
In his letter Bourne states that only
11a per cent of the men who accompan-
led him to the front yet are alive, hnv-
ing beer. killed during the II months
that expired from the time Bourne and
his comrades went to the battle line
up to the time of his honorable dis
charge. He now has returned to his
wife and children IN England.
Early in the war Bourne was badly
wounded and spent some time in a
hospital at Paris, to which he was ta-
ken from the battlefield. He was COM
PEELED to remain in the hospital for
several weeks, but, as soon as he was
able, and without attempting TO secure
his discharge from the army. he re-
turned to the front.

POLICY %EXONERATED
OF K|RBY'S CHARGES
Not Shown That Accused Jus
tice Even Received Money
For Campaign Funds.

Pierre. S. D., April 29.-The referees
In the disbarment case against Justice
5. C.. Policy, of the South Dakota SUI
preme court, closed the hearing last
night and promptly decided that no
cause of action had been presented.
This report will be made to the SUI
preme court, Mr.. Policy not sitting, and
undoubtedly will be promptly affirmed
by that body.
The charges had been that Mr.. Policy,
when secretary of state, had received
a gratuity of 500 from Win Bailey. of
Pierre, for an appointment given to
the latter. When the case was heard
yesterday, the prosecution tried to add
three lew charges, only one of which
the referees considered had any ele-
ments making it pertinent in his pro-
feeding. 1t also was refused considera-
ton since the referees decided no evil
dence had been given showing the main
charge va substantiated This new
charge was that in 1901 Policy, as
states attorney Of Lawrence county,
mad dismissed a suit when the parties
he had brought it against made him a
present Of a set of books.
r. 0. Richards when called as wit
ness made his discussion partly politi-
cal. The case was brought by Joe
Kirby, of Sioux Falls, based upon let
tiers from Policy to Richards, and fur
nished to Kirby by Richards.
Bailey testified that at the solicita-
ton of O. S. Basford he paid a cam
paign assessment of $40 to ]. L. Wing
held, but never any amount to Policy.
No other testimony as to payments was
produced.
Attorney Kirby, complainant in this
case, has been somewhat "crosswise,"
at the supreme court. Last fall he was
cited for contempt and for disbarment.
The disbarment charge was dropped,
but he was assessed $500 on the con-
tempt charge. This grew out Of criti-
cisms made by him Of the supreme
court members in an interview given
to a Pierre newspaper.
