SAD TRAGEDY IN BLACK HILLS
Jensen, a Young Rancher, Strikes Down His
Sweetheart and Then Cuts His Own Throat.

After numbering the girl Jensen
wrote three letters, all of which were
to the effect hat he was in love with
her and that she had promised to
marry him, but hat she teased hin,
all the evening and he became angry
and killed her. Jensen cut his throat
with a 1azor, which was found lying
beside the bed. His sufferings must
have been intense, for he had walked
about the cabin, evidently for the
purpose of getting a shell for his gun
with which to put an end to his suffer
ings, as bloody tracks led up to a box
containing some empty shells. But
there was no evidence that a shot was
fired. An empty shell was found In
his shotgun, but it is believed it was
placed there after he had cut his
throat.
The last time Jensen and his sweet
heart were seen alive was on the even
ing before the day their bodies were
discovered, when they departed for the
purpose of attending a dance in the
neighborhood.

are not being nearly so badly treated
IN the matter of prices for macaroni
wheat as they have imagined. | have
looked into the matter very thorough
ly recently, testing the prices of vari-
Gus "heats on an export basis, and |
md that the macaroni wheat never
has sold in Minneapolis and Duluth at
a price that would be more than about
III cents on the outside below No. l
Northern, calculating prices on an ex-
port basis.
Tt should be kept In mind always
that the macaroni wheat has no COM
parison with other wheats as to price.
1t is an entirely Independent crop,
standing upon its w merits as to
supply and demand for the price it may
bring. Hence if the ordinary wheat
goes up 8 or 10 cents it does not fol.
low by any means that the price of
macaroni wheat should advance pro-
~pOrtionately.
THE public has yet to learn the
value Of macarOni -four for bread.
Many who have tried it prefer it to or
binary -four. In the opinion of those
who have investigated the matter, if
it were placed on sale where Other
ho"rs are sold, it would come at once
into general use"

AGENT SHOT HUSBAND.
South Dakota Widow Again Sues iii.
nois Central Railway.

Katie E. Bowen, the widow of Frank
Bowen, until his death a prominent
resident Of Ben Clare, a town situated
on the Illinois Central east Of Sioux
Falls, has, by her attorney, Joe Kirby
Of Sioux Falls, instituted a suit in the
United States court in that city
against the Illinois Central Railroad
company for damages in the sum OF
$4,000.
The husband Of the plaintiff was
shot and killed Feb. q last by Henry
A. Steagald, agent of the Illinois Cen
trail Railroad company at Ben Claire.
Steagald was tried in the state circuit
court, but was acquitted on the ground
that he was mentally irresponsible.
He was afterwards sent to the state
hospital for the insane at Yankton.
Mrs. Bowen alleges in her complaint
that by reason O fthe loss of her hus-
that by reason of the loss of her hus-
her for support that Steagald was of a
dangerous and violent character,
subject to violent fits of ange and
with a general disregard for the per-
sons and lives of others, and was o a
man fitted to have charge of the sta
ton house, but was wholly untitled
and incompetent to occupy such posi-
ton, all of which was at said time we'll
known to the defendant"
She further alleges that at the time
of the murder of her husband he en-
tered the station house in pursuit of
his business with the railroad COM
pany, and that Steagald, while Bowen
was in the discharge of his legitimate
and lawful business with the company,
shot and killed him.
In addition to the $4,000, the plant
if asks that she be awarded the costs
and disbursements of the action.

RANGE CORN.
Cattle Belt Raises Forty Bushels an

SSi
Dan ~BieIwagon, a rancher from Les
lie, who has tried farming with stock
raising the past year, reports corn
which will go forty bushels to the acre,
and has brought in fine samples of that
grain, and with it potatoes which will
weigh two pounds apiece, and onions
which will weigh over a pound each.
Mr.. Bierwagen was a former Doug
las county farmer, and is raising as
good crops at Lesline, in Stanley coun-
ty, as he raised in Douglas county.
There has been a rush of cattle to
the market from Pierre the past two
weeks, about 700 cars going out in
that time. 1t is estimated that the
shipments this year will be Is per cent
in excess Of last year, which was the
heaviest shipping year up to that time.
Many Of the ranch owners are COM
PEELED to reduce their herds on account
of the settlement of the range country,
and are shipping as close as possible
this year. There will be another ship
ment the first of the coming month,
which will about close the work Of
