YANKToN, OAK: Mention is made
in newspapers of six statesmen of
North Dakota, residing abroad, who
will come back 10 the old sod in time
for the political round up in the fall.
These gentlemen claim that they have
never forfeited their Dakota residence,
though some of them lave been away
for years, residing in Minneapolis and
Washington. These tactics would
not work in South Dakota and it is not
probable North Dakota will kill the

Loved His Admitted paurhter.

A sad-faced, handsome woman, poorly
but neatly clad, was seated on Il bench
ut the station house yesterday, saws
the Memphis -acdldncAe. She held an
infant i'll her arms, and was weeping in
a silent, hopeless sort of way.
A reporter drifted in, and after some
questioning, the woman told her story.
Her name is Mrs. Bette Slaughter, and
she came from near C~ollieryille, in this
county. Her maiden name was Me-
Cord.
During her girlhood she met and
loved q farmer named j. Franklin
Slaughter. They were married on Janr-
airy 10, 1882, and dwelt together peace
fully and happily.
ton, a pretty orphan child 1Oyears old,
came to them and asked for a home.
The Slaughters were poor, but they
took the. girl in and cared for her as
best they could.
Sallie grew rapidly and developed
into q fine girl. She found favor in her
fo~ster-father's eyes, and Mrs. Slaughter
noticed that J. Franklin was fond of
caressing the buxom Sallie.
About a year ago he said he would
find Sallie a better home than he could
give her, and he and his adoptel
daughter started for Memphis osten-
siblY.
Neither of them returned.
After time the truth dawned on the
deserted wife, and, trying to forget her
false husband. she set about irving to
make a living forherself and two small
children and her invalid mother. She
met with i'll success. Her health was
delicate and she was unable to do rough
work. But for the kindness of neigh
bors the family would have starved.
About a week ago Mrs. Slaughter re-
ceived news of her runaway husband.
He had killed himself in a fit of mad
ness caused by the fickleness of the
girl he had ruined.
Slaughter and the girl were living in
Kentucky as maj md wife. She had
admirers and encouraged them. and
Slaughter objected.
She pleaded innocence for a time.
but her lovers became more marked in
their attentions, and o violent quarrel
took place between Slaughter and the
girl.
She threatened to leave him.
Confronted with the prospect of los
ing the prize for which he had aban-
doned home, wife, children and honor.
Slaughter put an end to his miserable
existence.
He owned a revolver, and a ball from
it crashed through his brain and left
sane Afta again Haa. without 10 ia a protector.
Mrs. Slanghterd edtocome to Mem
phis and seek employment. She
brought her children with her, but left
her mother to be cared for by neigh
bors.
Mrs. Slaughter has no money, and
wants employment. She said that she
was willing to do any sort of work.
