Richmond, Mo-, Sept. S.-Mrz. n.
j. McGruder, a sister of DR.. Fraker,
arrived here this morning from At
lanta, Mo, and went at once to the
County Jail and promptly identified
Sheriff Holman's prisoner as her
brother. All doubt as to the iden.
tity of the prisoner was dispelled
by the meeting Of the two, which
was affecting. She bears strong
facial resemblance to the prisoner.
She denied the PUBLISHED story
that she had offered to refund to the
insurance companies the money she
had received, and said she had not
yet decided what disposition to
make of it.

There is absolutely no reason for a
Dakota farmer sending outside these two
sister states for a farm paper so long as
the proprietor of the Dakota Farmer,
Aberdeen, S. d., keeps his publication at
its present high standard. 1t is filled
from cover to cover full of good farm
matter, mostly contributed by farmers
and specialists who are daily lahoring
Dakota farms. 1t is the ambition of
the editor to have every line applicable
to the Dakotas and as many as possible
by the farmers themselves. Among the
recent changes and Improvements made
is the addition Of market page, a"Short

Of a second Governor Hoard of the dairy

Brule county, and have perfected arrange
