of Mr. Jones and found. it saturated with |
arsenic. This being the case, 1T was |
deemed unnecessary to carry the investi- |
cation further, and 1t Is probable the re- |
port Of Professor Haines will definitely |
dispose Of the poison theory.
AS the result Of their preliminary exami-
alton, Mrs. Alice Crawford and Ezra Par
ker of this city ghaNe been held to answer
to the charge Of having committed stat
utory. .offense. Complaint was made by
A. Crawford, husband Of the woman.
YANkTON, S. D.-The term Of court
which convened yesterday is one of i'm
portance Two persons will answer to the
charge Of murder and in several other
cases state prison offences are charged.
Elmer Brown and Charles Carter are held
for the murder Of L. G. Thrane last Sep
tember Thrane was assaulted and robbed
as he was leaving the negro dive kept
by Ruth Smith and died a day or two
later Brown and Carter were held for
the crime. The evidence is mostly Of a
circumstantial character.-Among other
important cases are those of Ira Gill and
Milo Austin, charged with adultery. The
Gill case will probably be dismissed as 1t
is doubtful if the complaining witness,
Mrs. Gill will testify. The most important
OIL the OLNeE c1lullIldI cases are lllOSe III
which Michael Wagner, Dave Donaldson
and Carey & Walsh will answer to the
charge of running saloons without legal
licenses. Peter ,Steftin will also be tried
for keeping his saloon open on Sunday.
Frank Culligan's case will doubtless at
tract some attention as he has the reputa-
ton of being very smooth swindler. He
will be tried for defrauding Mrs. Rain.
The civil calendar contains little of any
general interest.
LEAD, S. D.-Much complaint is being
made by farmers and others residing near
the head of Little Rapid creek that the
state game laws are being violated by
hunters almost daily, and deer are sub
jected to Wanton slaughter. 1t is as
serted that three persons from Rockford
killed twenty deer, where the law
limits the number one person is allowed to
kill in a season to three. Many persons
are said to be hunting without legal au-
thority, and to be. killing deer for the
market. The attention OF the game war
dens has been called to the condition, and
it is likely an example will be made. It
is alleged that some Of the hunters have
been seeking revenge from ranch men who
have informed on them by killing or Grip
ping their cattle. In this way they have
intimidated so many persons that 1t is
difficult to obtain satisfactory evidence
against them.

oughly agreed on a course Of action and
meant active cooperation. 1t was I'M
! POSSIBLE to secure details of the business

an open one but the reports were more
| than satisfactory to those interested anu
all were surprised at the proportions the
movement has assumed.
