Of Interest to Cattle Owners, important decision has been made by the supreme court touching the cattle interests in the Black Hills, A man named Holcomb living in Pennington county had a ranch house in the same county and had all branding, rounding up and’ other ranch work done there, while his cattle grazed largely on the free range across in Ziebach county. The Pennington assessors assessed these’ cattle and Holcomb appealed on the ground that the property belonged in . bach and should be taxed there. The court overruled the point on the ground that tho home ranch being in Pennington and all the ranch work beine done there and the cattle being driven there at intervals they were properly taxed the This decision does not, however, imply that cattle feeding altogether in the unorganized counties can be taxed in the organized ones, as it has been construed by many. cessful Bills, ‘[he governor has signed the following bills, which have consequently become law Refunding Deaf Mute Bonds—Mr, Ken e of the Su nedy's bill, 130, refunding $12,000 Deaf Mute | sehool bond: cent Conditional Sales—Mr. Dollard’s bill, 140, providiag that the title in conditional ‘sales shall vest in the vendee as to third parties without notice, unless contract in writing bo filed with register of deeds Fees for Abst i 6 per cent bonds at 3§ per Bennett's bill, S to turn into cts, Extending Mr. Johnson's bill, 56, forbidding the killing of grouse, prairie chickens, wild geese, ducks. snipe, brant, plover or curlew before the Ist of Septen ber, or any song bird at any time, tixtending the Quail Law-Mr. Johnson's bill, 90, the killing of quail for five venting Oppressive Garnishment—Mr, bill, 02, “providing that any person n account for collection outside the igning it to some one outside the state in order to evade the exemption laws of this state shall be liable to a fine of from £10 to &0, Also that in a suit in the South Dakota courts for garnishment of the -wages of a nonresident, the same exemption shall be allowed which obtaws in the state in which the defendant resides.
