PIERRE, S. D., July 12.-Governor Herried has appointed A. B. Kittredge to fill the unexpired term of the late United States Senator Kyle.

Alfred B. Kittredge is a native of New Hampshire, having been born in Cheshire county March 26, 1861. His early education was obtained in the public schools, and when 17 years of age he entered Yale university. He was graduated from that institution in 1882 and at once commenced the study of law in the office of Judge Veasey at Rutland, Vt. In 1884 he entered the Yale law school and was graduated in 1885, being admitted to the bar by the supreme court of Connecticut in June of the same year.
