INVESTIGATE SOLDIERS' HOME
HInek 11111m Senntorn-Klcct Visit Hot
SprliiKi for Infor
mation. HOT SPRINGS, S. D., Dec. 25. (Speclnl.)
Tho Illack Hills senators-elect visited
Hot Springs this week and, with Senator
Ilurko of this place, examined Into tho re
quirements of tho soldiers' home for tho
coming two years. Tho membership of
tho homo Is constantly Increasing, now
having nbout 250 upon tho rolls, thus re
quiring a larger opproprlotlon than over
before. Tho senators dined with Com
mandant Linn nnd looked over tho Insti
tution thoroughly. Tho visitors wcro:
Senators Georgo H. Dennett of Rapid City,
O. A. Cooper of Whltewood, L. P. Jenkins
of Lend and J. P. Chcescman of nolle
Fourche. Among other matters discussed
by tho Hills senators whllo together was
tho advisability of advocating a short ses
sion of tho legislature nnd they enmo to
tho conclusion that they would favor n
thirty-day session. They bellovo that there
Is not much legislation needed beyond the
rcgulur appropriation bills and perhaps n
few changes In tho rovenuo law.
While not talking for publication con
cerning tho United States senatorial ques
tion, the senators from tho Hills may all
bo put down as sttolght-out Gamble sup
porters and they nre Incllnod to tho opinion
that there Is moro talk nbout tho opposi
tion to Gamblo than thero Is nctual, active
concentrated effort against him. The
opinion was expressed that there worn
doubtless a tow prominent politicians In
tho stato who would like to see Mr. Gam
ble dofeated, but that tho republicans ot
the stnto generally regarded Mr. Gnrable
as Senator Pottlgrew's principal opponent
during thu campaign and that tho sentiment
had not materially changed; that tho fact
that Mr. Gamblo would havo been unani
mously renominated for congress hnd be
not decided to stand as a republican can
dldnto for United States senntor showed
his popularity nnd strength with his party
nnd was a virtual endorsement of him for
senator.
('oiliest Over Old Warrant.
SIOUX FALLS, S. D Dec. 25. (Special.)
A utilquo caso has Just been decided
In tho stnto circuit court nt Plahklnlon, In
volving tho pnyment of n warrant Issued
by Whlto Lako township, Aurorn counly.
P. II. rirennon sued tho township for tho
payment of an old wnrrant Issued by the
township when Joseph Ryan was treasurer
of tho township. This wns many years ago,
Rynn disappeared, leaving a shortage, and
nothing has slnco been heard ot him, The
warrant In question was Issued to H. M
Miles In payment for sinking an artesian
well, The warrant wni presented by Miles
and not paid for want of funds, Afler
Ryan's flight ono ot his bondsmen enme
out from Illinois and left tho money for
Ihe payment of tho warrant. Miles drow
tho money and Indorsed tho warrant
which, It was supposed, was stamped, paid
and filed away by the treasurer of tho
township. Nenrly two years later tho war
rant ngaln turned up, being presented by
tlrcnnon for payment, ho claiming that he
had purchased It from Miles. ( Payment
was refuged nnd lirennon Instituted suit
against the township for tho nmount of
the warrant. Tho township contended thnt
It had been paid nnd should have been
canceled. Judgo Smith Instructed the Jury
that whatever might be the legnl stntus of
tho claim, It was nullified by tho statute
of limitation, tho wnrrant having become
outlawed, and n verdict for tho defendant
was accordingly rendered. The plaintiff Is
not satisfied with tho verdict of tho Jury
and It Is probable thnt the case will bo
appealed to the slate supremo court.

conies the report from almost every sec

men had anticipated early In tho fall thnt
no ono Is kicking In tho least. All sorts
of prophecies for a severo winter were
universally nccopted everywhere on tho

whatovcr. Every stockman was scared to
death nnd In some Instances small herds
of cnttlo wcro shipped to market at n
great sacrlflco rathor than face n hard

of stock; censequently nearly everyone on
tho rnngo Is In condition to withstand n

yenrs, but It Is not materializing. The
winter so fnr has been an Ideal ono for
cattlemen. Just n few snowfalls to make
molsturo everywhere nnd no cold Bnaps
yet of any consequence. Thero Is, of
course, plenty of time left yet for bad
weather, but up to dato thero has been
no cnuso for alarm In nny quarter."
Tho Stock Journal, which Is In touch
with men from nil over the rnngo nnd l's
