wife's infidelity, and further denies that
he was the cause of the death by drown
ing of his two sons at LitchfieId, early
last June.
Orman was perfectly rational last even
ing in discussing his troubles of the past
few days, only appearing beset by the
notion that a mob had been organized
for the purpose of lynching him.

the fire. [ was away picking berries
that day, and hurried home as L saw the
fire. My children and wife were waiting
for me, and as we left the house it
caught fire. We went to the shore of
the lake and got into a dug out, and
there we remained until the fire was
over. 1t was a terrible time"
Orman then told of his wife having
gone to Hinckley with one of her young
sons, and assisted the relief committee.
lie later learned that his wife had not
remained true to him, and when he later
accused her she admitted, he says He
forgave her, but this, together with the
trying experience Of the fire, he saws.

WAGE COUNTY SEAT WARS
SOUTH DAKOTA TOWNS SHOULD BE
BUILT ON WHEELS TO KEEP
IN LINE
CAPITAL OF CHARLES MIX
Milwaukee Railroad Extension Pre-
cipitates "a Lively Contest for
It's Possession Between
Wheeler and Geddes.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Oct. 25.-(Spe-
cial. )-Several county seat fights are In
progress In South Dakota and are to be
determined by the election next month.
One of the hottest is that now raging
in Charles Mix county. The recent ex-
tension into that county of the Milwau-
kee railroad has sadly disarranged the
plans of the citizens of some of the old
towns, and in a number of instances the
old towns, which are not on the line of
the new railroad have practically been
obliterated by the removal to the near
est railroad town of most or all the
buildings. The old town of Wheeler,
however, which has for years been the
county seat, refuses to surrender to the
new towns, Notwithstanding that 1t was
not lucky enough to have the railroad
extended to It. The new towns on the
railroad are filled with ambitious men,
whose first thought was to capture the
county seat for their particular town,
thinking that when this was accomplish
ed there would be no doubt of the fu-
ture of the town. The people of Geddes
in particular are making a lively fight
to Wrest the county seat from Wheeler,
and have just concluded arrangements to
offer TO build $1,000 court house and
donate it, together with block of de-
sirable land, to the county as an induce
ment for the voters to say by their bal
lots next month that the county seat
shall be moved from Wheeler to that
place. The citizens of Wheeler are MAX
ing an aggressive struggle to retain the
county seat, and as an offset to the ar
guments of the Geddes partisans that
the capital should be located in a town
on the railroad, are actively circulating
the story of an early extension of a

profess to believe that the construction
of a branch line from Mitchell to their
town Is a certainty in the near future,

lands would be increased If the line was
built
