CIRCUIT COURT
OPENS TODAY
FORENOON SPENT IN SELECTING
A JURY In THE CASE OF THE
STATE VS.. MRS. AMAND
WOOLEY.

Although Judge l.. L. Fleeger and
stenographer arrived in the city
yesterday from Villas, little was done
towards taking up the work except
making preparations for actions that
were to come before the jury today.
At 10 a. m. the case of the State of
South Dakota VS.. Mrs. Amanda l..
Wooley came to trial. 1t required
the entire forenoon to question and
test the jurymen who were called to
sit in this criminal action. The de-
fendant, who at the preliminary hear
ing held some time ago was bound
over to this term of court on charge
of murder, appeared in the court
room today with her attorney, Joe
Kirby, of Sioux Falls, and also Rich
ard Lyons as assistant to Mr.. Kirby
The prosecution is being conduct
ed by States Attorney Geo. r. Far
mer, also his SON, Walter Farmer,
and Attorney Ira F. Blewitt.
Shortly after o'clock the COM
plaint was read and Judge Fleeger
addressed the jury on matters relat-
ing to the rendering of verdict ac-
cording to the testimony by sworn
witnesses. Following this, testimony
was submitted by Drs. r. s. Westaby
and d. s. Banghman who attended
Miss Cora vanderberger whose death
1t was alleged, was caused by a GRIM
inal operation committed by said
Mrs. Wooley.
There is no doubt that this case
will occupy the attention of the court
for at least several days.

Pierre, Oct. 12.Back In the days
before prohibition was enacted as a
state policy, or before. 1t became a
national policy. there was lot tpf
regulatory laws enacted in this
state. In which the liquor interests
were vitality interested, and they gem
orally secured notifications of bills
introduced by agreement to accept
the new regulations II they contain
ed such changes. and allowing the
new act to 60 through the legisla-
ture without contest.
In 1913 the liquor interests were
licensed. and those paying license
were not at all favorable to. the ac-
tivities OF the blind pig'' element,
and on their agreement search and
seizure provision was inserted In
the act up for consideration at that
time, and this has been = part OF the
law Of this state from that time. and
is the law now, a. It has never been
repealed BY any prohibition statute

RURAL CREDITS
BUREAU ACTIVE
THUS FAR $27, 100000 HAVE
BEEN LOANED TO 1000 FARM
ERS In SOUTH DAKOTA.

Pierre, Oct. 12.-Seven thousand
farmers of South Dakota have se-
cured benefits Of the rural credits act
since it became law.
Every county in the state is in
cluded in the benefits, and to date
1000, 900 has been loaned to farm
ers to assist them in development Of
the state, by one of the boards,
which 1t is being preached over the
state Is an unnecessary waste of
money to support.
The rural credits bosrd is one of
the busiest organizations in the
state. and has done more to help de-
velop the state than any other = Or
ganixation since South Dakota has
set up in business.
The department has secured mon.
ey for loans at the lowest possible
rate, and up to the time Of the pres
ent financial situation forcing ur
rates, the loans have been made al
a rate of five and 2 half per cent,
but even with credits being limited
generally the department has been
able to help out farmers at rate ol
$500, 900 a month, and Ii In shape
by q new loan to carry on at the
same rate or better for another si1
months.
Twenty million dollars was placed
at the low rate. and $7,O0O.0O0 at .
rate slightly higher, and this. rate
will need be maintained until money
can be secured at figures which vii
allow . reduction.
While the policy from the star
was one Of development, since the Il
nancial stringency the efforts Of tn
board have been devoted to makini
loans to farmers who have mortgag
ca coming due. which they must car
for. and which on account Of the con
ditions and low price Of stock the!
could not meet.
This policy along with one Of US
