FAKE EASILY PROVED SUCH.
Announcement of Engagement of Ex-
senator Pettigrew's Daughter.

Sioux Falls, s. D., June 11.-Eastern
newspapers recently telegraphed here
In reference to the rumored engage
ment Of an alleged daughter OF ex-
Senator Pettigrew and William II. La
Pointe, OF New York city. In addition
to inquiries from them, the Associated
Press has sent here the original letter
which gave rise to the rumors OF the
alleged pending wedding. The story
proves to be one OF the greatest fakes
OF the year. The letter, which the AS
ISOLATED Press was wise enough not TO
print until an inquiry as to its accu-
racy had been made, is as follows:
Jamaica. N, Y, Wednesday, May 29.-
City Editor. Associated Press: ! beg to
ask would you kindly publish the follow
ing announcement:
The engagement Is announced OF VIII
liam II. La Pointc, OF State Norma
school, jamaica, New York city. to Miss
Eraena Semmes Pettigrew OF South Da-
kota. Mr.. La Pointe Is II young society
Ing recently published Natures Study
OF Methods" by Werner & Co. lie is
also n member OF the Tuxedo club, the
Brooklyn Dining club, the Authors club,
Hcrlart COUNSEL OF America, New York
Hunt club and the Maphattun Riding
club. Miss Eraena Scmmes Pettigrew Is
a daughter Of United States Senator Pet
tigrew of South Dakota. a society leader
OF the middle west. and an author by
profession. Miss Pcttigrew won many
prizes at the last Chicago and New York
horse shows. Miss Pettigrew was a close
school friend OF Miss Virginia Fair be-
fore her marriage 10 Mr.. Vanderbilt. Miss
Pettigrew Is closely connected TO mem
bers OF the English nobility and the Rus
sian court. Miss Pettigrcw has recently
been divorced from n millionaire. She
Is worth about $6,oo.00 and is a pros
porous mine owner. The wedding will
take place next winter In New York city.
Hoping you will publish the above, and
trusting you Will forward bill for same.
l remain, Douglas La Pointe,
Jamaica, L. |.
The facts In the matter are that ex-
Senator Pettigrcw has no daughter at
all, and neither himself or any MEM
Der Of the Pettigrew family In South
Dakota know OF any girl by the name
given In the above letter. The purpose
behind the writing and mailing OF the
letter to the Associated Press for pub
is a mystery which may never
be solved.

ConIdn,t Wear Shoes.

Sumpter, ILL.,, June 10.-Mrs. j. b
Flanagan Of this place had suffered
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She
was so very bad that for the last three
years she has not been able to wear
her shoes. She had doctored all tho
time, but was gradually getting worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for some
medicine at Mr.. J. ]. Dale's drug store
In Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded him 10
have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and he bought six boxes. His wife
used five out of the six, before she was
entirely cured. She is now as SOUND
and well as ever she was, completely
restored to health, and free from any
symptom whatever Of Dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan Is pleased
at her wonderful d~ellverance does not
half express her feelings, and she n
Mr.. Flanagan are loud In their praises
of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and or MT.
Dale for recommending this wonderful
remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such a severe
cos Of Dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked of remedy ever known in White
County.

Trio of Victorious Des-
pcradoes.

Toronto, Ont, June t0.-Of the three
men. Fred Lee Rice. Thomas Jones and
Frank Rutledge, extradited from Chi
cage to stand trial for robbery OF a
bank In Aurora, Ont, Rice Is the only
living survivor of the trio to serve out
the twenty-one years Imprisonment to
which he was sentenced yesterday.
Two tragedies lave just put Jone and
Rutledge beyond reach OF the law.
Jones died from bullet wounds received
In a desperate attempt to escape from
the officers who were transferring the
prisoners from the court house to the
Jail last Tuesday. and Rutledge COM
mitted suicide by jumping from the
gallery in the Jail to the stone court,
thirty feet below.
The first tragedy which startled the
citizens OF this city was the result Of
the daring attempt made by the three
prisoners TO escape from the constable
on Tuesday night. While the carriage
containing Rice, Jones and Rutledge
and two constables was proceeding
from the court house to the Jail an ac-
complete threw three receivers through

they acted promptly. Securing pos
session of the revolvers, the three men
opened fire upon the ~constables. Coun-
ty Constable Boyd was shot and killed.
The officers returned the fire, and
Jones was wounded in the groin and
arm. He died at the hospital. A street
car conductor whose car the burglars
attempted to board struck Rutledge
over the head with q piece of iron,
knocking him senseless. Rice surren-
dered.
Yesterday Rice and Rutledge were
sentenced to twenty-one years I'm
prisonment in Kingston penitentiary.
Rutledge was being taken with an
other prisoner in charge Of of the
fail guards to dinner about 3 O'Clock.
Suddenly he made a dash and springfns
up the stairway mounted to the gal
lery running around inside OF the Jail,
thirty feet from the floor. Climbing
over the railing, Rutledge Jumped. He
fell head foremost on the stone floor,
fracturing his skull. He was immedi-
ate'y taken to the hospital, where he
died without regaining consciousness.
