''Many OF your readers will recall the ex-cOn-
vict and ex-PlnRertOD detective e. q. Summers,
who was arrested in this city a few months ago
by his employer, William Pinkerton, and whom
he tried TO kill at The lime," said L. b. Miller Of
New Orleans at the Palace yesterday. 1T is
now supposed that he is in Honduras as il Is
believed that he succeeded in getting away
on an outward bound ship through the infu-
ence Of friends. The criminal history OF this
man Is remarkable one. 1t was ne who. In
company with another detective named Jackson,
figured in the killing OF tran-robber Bunch
who robbed the Southern Express Company in
sensational manner some time ago. Summers

lished. Tie explanation is not without humOr,
although quite simple. The people residing al
the new station first asked that The postoffice
be named 'Byam.' but there being posioffice
of that name in North Dakota it was deemed
unwise 10 establish similar office in South Da-
kota, and new name was requested. The
community. IL seems. is made up almost en-
tirely OF Germans, and they jokingly suggested
the name OF Beer The department again OBJ
Jectcd, and the next suggestion made was that
the town be called by the South Dakota appel
lation for beer, that State being prohibition.
AccOid dinghy Tea was adopted, that being the
South DAKOTA name for beer, and the name APP
pears to be entirely satisfactory"
