ing house on the farm of William Bone

Mrs. Bone, was taken from the city Jail

posse Of Castlewood citizens was
formed, headed by the sheriff. and the
prisoner was caught four miles west
OF Castlewood and he was brought TO
Watcrtown. BY this time the news of
the capture had spread and when the
prisoner was brought in a mob of sew

ever, TO get the man behind the bars.
About 1880 in the evening the mob
gathered and broke into the cell and
captured their victim. The prisoner
was dragged through the streets until
he was almost dead and then strung up.
This is the first instance of mob law in
this part of South Dakota.

Versal adoption Of DeeriDg binders in

member Of the famous harvest excursion

ing binders. He was deeply impressed
and after exa mining all other makes Oi
machines, reported to the Sultan that
the Deering binder wss the best made
in America. His August MOjesty there
upon signified that it was his wish tC
possess one of these machines, and tho
wires were straiVhtwaY laden with mes
sRges to that effect. AS no ordinary
RdOrnmeAt was deemed suitable for the
Royal gaze, the Dserirg people at once
prepared q binder tmbelliRhed with gilt

with a suitable dedication to his I'm
