Miss Josephine smythe Causes
Fresh Sensation at Elk
Point. S. D.
Goes to Bedside Of Father Kelly.
Who Is Accused OF Her
Ruin.
Elk Point Citizens Urging Kell,
to Renounce the Church and
Marry the Girl.

Elk Point S. d. March 20.--Miss Jo-
sephine Smythe left yesterday for Car
ryowen, S. D., to meet Rev. Father Is
J. Kelly at his urgent request
Friends of Father Kelly have advised
him to discard his robes, renounce his
vows and marry Miss Smythe, urging
that this is the only way out of the
terrible difficulty. 1t is not known
what Father Kelly wrote to Miss
Smythe, but she left for Garryowen as
soon as she could after the receipt OF
the communication.
This new complication has thrown
the community into fever heat of ex-
element and all sorts of rumors are
afoat 1t is said that Father Kelly Is
confined to his bed on account of sick
ness at Garryowen. Judge Smythe is
non communicative in regard to his
daughters last move.
1t is understood that Miss Smythe
was determined to go to Garryowen
despite the entreaties of parents and
relatives. She was inclined to go alone,
hut thru the opportunities of a girl
friend finally consented to allow her
brother, Harry Smythe, to accompany
her. They did not purchase tickets at
the station.
When it was known that Miss
Smythe had gone to visit Father Kelly
the sympathy which has been with her
until this time was partially with
drawn, and people are inclined to think
the young woman has made q decidedly
bad move unless the ultimate outcome
shall be marriage with the priest. To
Catholics this would mean a fearful
thing, for in order to be married the
priest must renounce the church and be
placed under the ban of excommunica-
ton, and the young woman would also
be subject to the same grim sentence.
The feeling against Father Kelly in
this community is still very high and 1t
has been limited that If he ever returns
here he is liable to personal injury.

Miss Josephine smythe Says She Was
Not With Father Kelly.

Sioux City, March 2O.-To w. A.
Powell, manager For the Remington
Typewriter Company of this city. Miss
Josephine Snlythe, en- route 10 her home
in Elk Point, Tuesday morning, denied
that she had been elsewhere but in Chi
cago for the past month and expressed
surprise and fearful anger when she
learned of the sensational reports con-
corning her which have been in the
newspapers and on the tongues of peo-
pie in this section of the country for a
fortnight.
Miss Smythe was on the Milwaukee
train out from Chicago and when Mr..
Powell boarded the train for trip to
Akron he was compelled to stand in the
aisle for some time. Miss Smythe was
also standing at that time, she having
given her seat to a poor, feeble old wo-
man and as they stood in the crowded
ailse Mr.. Powell made some remark
concerning the weather. This led to
other conversation and Mr.. Powell then
asked the young woman where she was
going.
II am going to Elk Point" replied the
young woman. THAT is my home
you have a big scandal up there,
haven't you?" was the next venture of
Mr.. Powell.

the reply.
Hereupon the questioner began to re-

pade. The young woman listened with

"But can you prove this?" came the
question from Mr.. Powell
II have the receipts for my board
bill there" was the reply.
Just think of these people talking
aobut me that way" she went on, her
voice breaking. 81 wish had known OF
it before
| Mr.. Powell asked the young woman
if she had been to California, and she
said she never had, altho she much de-
sired to go there.
At Jefferson, Miss Louise Brouillette
came into the train, and the young wo-
men greeted each other affectionately
with a kiss.
"Oh. Louise, you should have heard
the awful stories this man has told me
that are going around about me- and
with that the young women began to
talk in a lower tone, and the Sioux City
young man was unable to hear more.
| 1t was learned in the train that Miss
Smythe had come on from Chicago in
