SOUTH DAKOTA NEW8«*GATHERED FROM ALL PARTS OF THE STATE.—A Law That Lam CmbUm Short of Jwia-Arrwcel for Maniac—loarlag tho School Lands—Atata KoUa.Afltrmod the Lower Coart.The 8upr«me Court has given a decision in the case of A. H. Rision et al. of Huron vs. Ira Davenport of New York, affirming the decision of Judgo Campbell of tne Fifth District. The case involves the title to a largo number of tracts of land known as the John D. Cameron entries, and concerns many people in the vicinity of Huron. Frauds were alleged and contests instituted against the entries, the result being that the entries were cancelled and the contestants given preference right to make entry. The tracts were settled upon and have been hold and cultivated for the past oight or ten years. The Rision suit was instituted to clear the titles of a cloud upon them by reason of Davenport having made loans upon the tracts, Which loans were never paid, add to recover payment foreclosed the mortgages. Judge Campbell's decision was that the mortgages should be paid and the land was security for such payment, notwithstanding the cancellation of the entriesor the fact that final proof was irregu-i';d)larly or fraudulently made. This decision has been sustained by the higher court, but whether or not there are some provisions remains to be soon. Thore are thirty or more tracts in the immediate vicinity of Huron affected by the decision, out the holders of them appear not to bo at all disturbed, and will take advantage of any loophole that may be left for the removal of the cloud to title.
