BENTLEY'S BURDEN
Some Little Inaccuracies in His
Explanation that Does
Not Explain
The Defendant will Please
Take the Stand for Gross
Examination

The grave charges against Mr..
Bentley, published two weeks
ago, were purposely made at that
time in order that Mr.. Bentley
should have plenty of time to re-
flute anything untrue, and in last
weeks Review Mr.. Bentley
essays an explanation, but his
explanation fails to explain. He
attempts to show how little title
Mrs. Rabek had to the property
in dispute. Now the people of
Grant county are not interested
as to how much of an interest
Mrs. Rabek had in the farm the
title to which the jury in the case
asserted in their verdict was OBJ
tanned by L. H. Bentley through
fraud. The fact that she had
some interest in the property
was admitted by Bentley when
lie attempted to obtain from her
a quit-claim deed. She certainly
had an interest sufficient to in
duce him to seek to procure from
her a deed. 1t was the fraud
ulent manner of procuring this
deed Mr.. Bentley is called upon
to explain. If he was not aware
of any fraud why did he send
Terpena instead of making the
bargain with the woman himself,
and above all, why did he 60 to
the trouble of drawing off a quit
claim deed with typewriter to re-
semble as closely as possible the
affidavit instead of using the
regular blank form to be had in
any lawyers or conveyancer's
Office?
Mr.. Bentley in his Review
article says:
l had no knowledge that there was
any claim of unfair advantage until
the deed had been on record for a long
time, and had ample opportunity, be-
fore the action, to deed the property
to some third party had I suspected
that there was any fraud, or had I
purposed to commit any fraud.
The facts in the case brought
out in the evidence are that as
soon as the husband of the wo-
man returned home that day and
learned what had happened he
Immediately suspected some
thing was wrong and set about
an Investigation, and before
twenty four hours had elapsed,
papers had been served estop-
ping Bentley from transferring
the property. This was the
"ample opportunity he had of
deciding the property to a third

Bentley, or some one acting for him?
The verdict of the jury was
YES"
If that verdict was an injustice
to Mr.. Bentley because the
was a woman and one of
the defendants a foreign corpora

to Mr.. Bentley because the
plaintiff was a woman and one of
the defendants a foreign corpora

to a court where these things
would not be entertained, but
the court records show that he

nesota, a corporation,
Jennie Rabek, of said county. being
first by me duly sworn, deposes and
says, that she is the identical Jennie
Rabek mentioned as, and who was.
plaintiff in the above entitled action.
That the said case is now settled. the
said plaintiff receiving and accepting
seven hundred and fifty $3.50. OO) dol
lars for her interest in and to the
premises involved in said suit.
JENNIE RABEK.
Subscribed and sworn to before me
this It'll day of April, A. ID. 1902.
JOHN WILLIAMS,
Notary Public, Day County, S. D..
This clearing of title which
Mr.. Bentley attempted to secure
for $40 through Terpena by de-
ceiving the woman, was secured
by the settlement of the case for
$3.50.
Mr.. Bentley probably thinks
that he has been peculiarly un-
fortunate in his political aspira-
tions. He has, but it is Just such
matters as this Rabek trouble
that have proved a continual i'm
pediment and will continue to
serve as an impeachment to his
election to any place of honor in
Grant county. The sooner this
is understood the better it will
be for all concerned.

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
Symptoms of av-ry Common Trouble

Symptoms Of aV-ry Common Trouble?
There is no disease so common in the
United States as catarrh. because it ap-
pears IN SO many forms and attacks so
many different organs.
1t is common mistake to suppose that
catarrh Is confined to the nose and throat
Any Inflammation Of the mucous mem-
brane wherever located, accompanied by
abnormal secretions, is catarrh. Catarrh
Of stomach or bladder or intestines is
nearly as common as nasal cataarh and
that stomach catarrh and catarrh OF
o,aer internal organs is the result of
neglected nasal catarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which, so far as tested, seems to be re-
markedly effective in promptly curing
catarrh. wherever located. The prepara-
ton is sold by druggists generally I'M
der name of Stuart'S Catarrh Tablets and
In addition to being very palatable and
convenient. possesses extraordinary merit.
in many cases giving immediate relief
from the coughing. hawking and con-
slant clearing Of the throat and head,
those symptoms with which every one
is familiar who has ever suffered from
colds in the head and throat.
Catarrh is simply a continuation Of
these symptoms until the trouble be-
comes chronic and grows gradually
worse from year to year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are composed
Of Blood root. red gum and similar an
tiseptics and catarrh specifics. from
which it will be seen that no secret is
made Of the ingredients. and also that
no mineral poisons are used, as is the
case with many vel! known catarrh med
icines.
For catarrh of the nose. throat, bron-
chial tubes. for catarrh OF stomach. In
testines or bladder no preparation is SO
safe and gives such rapid and permanent
results as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at SOC. for full
sized package. You can use them with
assurance that you will not contract the
cocaine or morphine habit as the res,.Hs
from this catarrh cure are apparent from
the first days use III AS
