Wednesday afternoon .-ed-
ge Lyman T. Boucher sitting
in a special term of Circuit
: Court for Stanley County
rendered decisions on the
I county division cases, finding
jfor the petitioners in all three
factions and granting the
writs of mandamus compell-
ing the County Commission-
ers to submit the question of
dividing Stanley county to
the voters at the November
election.
count v petitions was called
vVedi sday morning and the
testimony of the parties who
circulated the petitions was
introduced and the defense
did not attempt to any great
extent to win their case.
Wednesday afternoon the
Jackson county case was
taken up for trial and was a
hard fought case from start
to finish. The testimony of
the parties who circulated
the petitions was introduced
and the legality of the signa-
tures passed unquestioned.
States Attorney Johnson
was positive that the propos-
ed Jackson county did not
contain the amount of terri-
tory required by the laws
of South Dakota, while At-
torney F. W. Grogan appear-
ing for the petitioners was
equally positive that it did
and introduced the testimo-
ny of County Surveyor R. H.
Townsend was introduced.
The hearing on the propos-
ed lowa county petitions was
held at Fort Pierre last Fri-
day, but the Judge reserved
his decision until after the
other two were tried.

States Attorney Johnson,
appearing for the defendants,
the county commissioners,
sought to win his case on the
grounds that the petitions
for the proposed Jackson and
, Sterling counties were filed
with the County Auditor
( first and for that reason had
prior right and the lowa pe-
| tition conflicted with the oth-
ler two. In making his de-
cision the Judge said that
I there was nothing in our laws
the filing of peti-
tions, except for county divi-
sion, that they should be fil-
; ed on or before the first Mon-
day in July. He also stated
that but two supreme court
decisions, covering similar
cases, could be found. One
was a decision by the Su-
preme court of Nebraska
which gave a priority right
to the petitions filed first,
I the other being a later de-
cision by the Supreme Court
jof Michigan. The Supreme
Court of that state held,
though by a divided court,
that as the laws did not pro-
vide for a priorityright both
i petition should be submitted
ito a vote, and that in this
¦ case ho would follow the pro-
/ of the Michigan
court, as it appealed to him
to be the just and correct
course. An attack was also
made on the validity of the
signatures on the lowa peti-
tions and in ruling on this
matter the Judge said:
“In the case of the peti-
tion for the organization of
lowa county, there is no
question raised but what the
proposition embraces more
than twenty-four townships,
and the evidence, while not
entirely satisfactory as to
whether or not the men who
signed those petitions were
all legal voters, yet the evi-
dence stands practically un-
disputed, and there is enough
evidence there to make it, I
think, obligatory on the court
to find as a finding of fact
' that a sfficient number sign-
ed the Detition.”
A
The hearing on the Sterling
Mr. Townsend testified that what
appeared to be only fractional town-
ships along White river on the South
edge of Jackson county were in real-
ity. according to government survey,
congressional townships, and N-r.
Grogan introduced Supreme Court
rulings to the same effect. The court
was satisfied with the showing'and
granted the mandamus as nrayed.

The brick walls of the new school
house are now completed. We are
constrained to compliment Mr. Han-
sen upon the excellent work he has
put into these walls. They will be
the pride of the citizens so far as
architecture is concerned. Built upon
the highest point in the village, they
will be seen at a great distance from
every direction and upon a nearer
approach anyone will be struck with
the beauty of the outlines and face of
each elevation. Mr. Swan assures us
that a very short time willnow be re-
re<r.iir"d to complete the roof and the
inside work of the building, as there
is nothing to delay him now but the
plastering, which is not a very slow
job. Our' Township Board is to be
congratulated upon their good taste
in the choice of a model for our pub-
lic school building and its situation.—
