Commissioners
Appoint New
Go. Auditor

Last Thursday evening just be-
fore adjourning the Board of Cou-
nty Commissioners accepted Athe
resignation of Otto c. Sharon as
County Auditor and appointed Mrs
Viola Cummings to fill the balance
of the term until March lst, 1923.
Mr.. Sharon resigned the position
of Auditor to take charge Of the
local postoffice to which place he
was commissioned some time ago
and took over the duties of the
office on April lst. Mr.. Sharon
has been Auditor of Jackson Cou-
nty for over four years and dur
ing that time has made a most ac-
eeptable official and it is with
leep regret that the people Of the
county see him leave this rcspon-
sible place in their service.
The appointment of Mrs. Cum
nings will meet with the approval
f the citizens throughout the
ounty as she is in every way cap
able of handling the duties of this
office. being at the time of her
appointment and for some time
previous a deputy in the Office,
nd having a keen insight into the
luties and work of this important
,lace. Prior to coming to kadoka
Mrs. Cummings also had exper-
'encc in the work of the Auditors
,tfice and these years of exper-
ience will give to Jackson County
capable official to step into the
place made vacant by the resig-
Iation Of Mr.. Sharon. The appoin
ment of Mrs Cummings with her
experience in the office will save
he county p Wreat .dedH 'of time
md help hire as would be needed
| the training of an uneXperienc-
ID party into the duticS of the
rtiice. The appointment made by
he Commissioners was wise olAe.
md they are to be congratulated
'pon being able to secure the SER
ices of one SO capable as Mrs.
Cummings.

Town Officers
And Bonds To
Be Voted. On

The Annual Town election will
be held next Tuesday at the Town
Council Room and at that time
the town officials for the coming
year will be elected, and there
will also be submitted the quest
ion of issuing bonds for the install
ling of a waterworks system. But
one ticket has been placed in nom
ination for the election and the
interest will center in the proposed
bond issue. The ticket placed for
the voters approval is nearly all
composed of the present office
holders. The Trustees being Otto
c. Shartn, Earl B. Davis and c. A
Craven; M. X. Easthouse for Towr
Treasurer; w. ID. Gilchriat fol
Clerk; J. H. Dithmcr for Towr
Assessor; and B. l.. McNally ano
Scott Wellman for Justices Of the
Peace.
The bond proposition to be sub
mitted calls for the issuing OF
bonds not to exceed FOrty-five
thousand dollars at an interest rate
of not to exceed six and one-four-
the per cent, to install system OF
water works according to the plan:
already drawn and on file. The
plans as drawn takes the water tt
practically ali parts of the towr
and as soon as installed would re
suit in a revenue income for tho
town that would finance the upkeeI
and operation of the plant. The
installing of a system of water
works at this time means that il
can be done at a cheaper price
than heretofore, and that the cost
of installing such system will
Increase from now on, rather than
decrease. 1t is needless for us to
give reasons why water should be
brought into our homes and the
many desirable features that are
connected with such a system, but
the Press believes that the install
ling of a waterworks system means
the difference to Kadoka of keep
ing it in the forefront of the
towns of thes tate, where it stands
today, or permitting it to slide
back into the "whistling post
class. Think the matter over care
fully between now and next Tues
day and we are convinced that
your ballot will be cast in favor
of the bonds. which will carry by
a huge majority.

Teams In The Field

Belvidere last week held a meet

TO + the coming season with the
election of X. G.. Vanderbilt as
manager, and will endeavor to open
their season the coming Sunday
with a game between the regulars
and a has-been team headed by +.
c. Barth. Belvidere will again
this year go through the season
with an all home team, and the
Times states that they expect to
win at least seventy-tive per cent
of the games they play. Belvidere
certainly has the material for n
fast team and last season were
readily given recognition as one of
the very fastest all home teams
in the entire state.
Murdo has organized. for the
coming season, with the selection
of Carl Lang as manager and five
business men have general super
vision over the team, and they
will put fast semi-pro team in
the field. Philip will have a team
again this coming season, as will

Novel Advertising
Scheme To Be Used
By Custer Highway

The Custer Battlefield Highway
Association will again this spring
use novel advertising scheme
to bring this popular route to the
attention of the tourist. AS soon
as the settled weather arrives a
stage COACH drawn by four horse
team will make the trip over the
Highway from Sheridan, Wyom-
ing, to Omaha, Nebraska, and all
along the route will distribute adj
vertisinC mater for the highway
and the many important and see
mic places to be visited while max
ing a trip over the best roads that
lead to the National parks in the
west. Last year White Eagle an
Indian scout, made trip clear
back to New York on horseback
and great deal of publicity was
gained for the Highway from this
trip, and it is believed that the
stage coach ODE used this year
will bring as much attention to
the Highway as that created last
year by the Indian.

Good Collection OF Medals
Given To State MeuSeum

Pierre, April 1lth-The State
museum in he state historical de-
partment has received collection
of medals of great value and has
placed these on exhibition. In the
collection is a Washington medal
of 1889 found in possession of the
Yankton Indians some time ago.
It's history is unknown, but it is
medal of great value. Then there
is a medal of solid silver present
ed to Shakehand, the Yankton
chief, by Lewis and Clark in 1904
and James Madison medal given
to Smutty Bear, chief of the YAM
ktons in 1915 closing up the rela-
tions during the war of 1912.
These medals were loaned by Will
liam Taylor of Springfield.
Another interesting medal is
pierre Chouteau" medal of 1881,
struck by the upper Missippi out
fit of the American Fur company.
There were only three of the med
ais struck by the company before
the government prohibited the
business and there is every reason
to believe that the medal now in
possession of the state is the only
one of the three extant.
These medals are exhibited in
an ingenious case constructed for
teh purpose by Ed Pickering of
the Capitol force of workmen and
is designed to show both sides of
the medal.
In the case with the medals is
exhibited a good sized fragment
of the shell from the German big
Bertha" which was projected sew.
enty-five miles into Paris on Coco
Friday of 1918 and which destroy
ed St. Gobain church and killed
81 worshipers. This fragment OF
she'll was presented by Chaplain
Guy Squires.

Supreme Court Rules
On Sale Of Chattel
Mortgage Property

Sale of mortgageg property with
)ut the writers consent of the
mortgagee even though it can be
proven that oral consent to the
sale has been granted, constitutes
felony punishable by three years
imprisonment according to de-
:ision handed down by the state
upreme court. This interpreta-
ton Of the statute governing mort
Taged property is the most dras-
ic ever made in this state, attor-
leys say.
B. |. Shoemaker was convicted in
he circuit court of Hanson coun-
y of having traded mortgagcd
automobile for another machine
If a different make. 1t was grant
ed at the trial that the defendant
had traded the car, but, the de-
fense claimed, and offered evidence
tending to prove their claim, oral
lssent to the trade had been OBJ
aimed by Shoemaker. This offered
violence of proof, was objected to
the objection was sustained by the
court and the testimony excluded.
Error, assigned upon this ruling
was given as the grounds in mo-
Ion seeking new trial, but the
notion was overruled. Appeal was
then taken.
In affirming the lower courts
decision, the state supreme court
declared that "the statute is a
harsh one, but it's language is plain
and unmistakable, and this court
IS without power to modify it by
judicial construction or interprc-
tation.'
To this view Justice Charles S.
Whiting, in one of his last Off
cial acts before his death. wrot
the following dissention:
Under the majority opinion even
though the mortgage was pre-
sent at the sale of mortgaged pro-
perty and orally consented thereto
yes, even if he should buy the
property himself, Of the mortgag-
or with an oral agreement that he
should, and he afterwards did, ap-
ply the purchase price to the mort
gage debt-if such sale was not
preceded by the execution by the
mortgage of a written consent
therefore, the mortgagor, by sell.
ing such property, would commit
felony and might be sentenced
to states prison for three years
| cannot and will not subscribe to
any ruling that can lead to such
monstrous result"
The law has been on the statute
books of South Dakota for MANY
years but has never before beer
taken to the supreme court. 1t i,
believed that an effort will be
made at the next session Of the
legislature to introduce an amenr
ment modifying the phrasing ot
the law.
