Deadwood, S. D., June 18.- State Treasurer Phillips has received advices that W. W. Taylor, ex-treasurer of South Dakota, would be surrendered to the authorities at Pierre tomorrow. Governor Sheldon and Treasurer Phillips both declare that the stories so freely published in eastern papers within the. last few days to the effect that a compromise had been effected with the defaulter and his bondsmen whieh practically allows Taylor to go free and retain the greater part of his stealing-s, Is absolutely without foundation. Taylor will be compelled to mako restitution in full and no action on his part or the part of his bondsmen to this end will mitígate the degree of his crime or lessen hls punishment. The governor and Treasurer Phillips are both authority for the statement that the state will not lose a cent that property of sutncient value to more than cover Taylor's defalcation has been turned over to the state by Taylor and his bondsmen, and that notwithstanding this the case against him will be pushed with as much severity as though it had been undertaken against a les prominent criminal.
