DR.. WALKER DIVORCED,
After a Merry Chase Wealthy New Yors
Physician Gets a Decree at
Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls, S. D., April Z DIR. VIII,
liam A. Walker, a prominent physician.
late Of New York where he figured
quite extensively in sensational pro-
,ceedings, has been granted a decree OF
absolute divorce on the grounds Of de-
sertion.
It is understood thai DIR. Walker Is
only clearing the way for his marriage
to the divorced wife of William ii.
Kline, a drug manufacturer OF New
York who suicided in Chicago last Feb
ruary, because Walker had practically
stolen Mrs. Kline from him.
: DR.. Walker secured a decree Of di-
vorCe In Brooklyn in 1901, but Mrs.
Walker didn't propose to stand for 1t,
and after a ard fight In the courts. and
a desperate struggle over the former
home of the couple, succeeded In having
the decree set aside.
At this time Ii was love for Mrs.
Kline that induced DR.. Walker TO go
wrong, and Mrs. Walker as well as MIR.
Kline was aware OF that fact. Trouble
occurred between the W women, and
Mrs. Walker finally sued Mrs. Kline
for $40, 600 for alienation OF her hus-
bands affections.
DR.. Walker is widely known through
out the east and stands high in he
medical profession. The couple have
only one child, Harry. about IA years
old, who has been living with his
father.
Mrs. Kline Is the daughter Of Mrs.
Ashbury Lester of New York city. Her
self and william II. Kline were married
about twelve years ago. They had two
children, both girls, who are now be-
ing educated In a convent In New York.
Early last year Mrs. Kline divorced her
husband and latter caused the trouble
between DR.. Walker and his wife.

JACK cH,Nh
He Horrible Language Drove Several
Cincinnati Ladies Into Hysterics.

Cincinnati, o., April 7.-Colonel Jack
Chinn, OF Kentucky, well known poll
tician and turfman, met defeat at the
hands of a burly constable today at his
room In the Gibson house.. During the
melee the colonel was relieved of two
big six shooters n a bowie knife. .
: The trouble occurred when Constables
william Critchell and Charies Timber
lake entered the colonel's room while he
was eating supper attired In his under
clothing only. MI. Chinn had purchased
a bill of goods from Burkhardt Bros.
amounting to about s75 and toll them
he would settle the bill later. The firm
evidently feared the colonel would for
get and sent q messenger to the hotel
to collect the bill.
This angered Chinn, and he, I'm his
bluff talk, frightened the messenger
away. The firm then brought proceed
ings In a squire's court and the con-
stables were started to the hotel with
attachment papers. When they entered
the room and made their business known
Chinn flew into a rage and dashed at
them to put them out. Critchell. a pow
.erful fellow, with a well-directed blow
knocked Chinn down. He arose quickly
and dashed for his pistols. They were
two quick for him and while Timber
lake held the Infatuated Kentnckian,
Criticized took the two si~x-shooters n
knife. They threw the knife on the
floor and held the shooters to satisfy
the claim.
During the struggle Chinn's under
clothes were torn o, the bed broken
and general havoc done. Chinn's ter
rible threats and his language fright
ened lady guests In adjoining rooms and
their hysterical screams added color
TO the occurrence.

MYSTERY AT FORT MEADE.
Veterinarian GeIston is Mysteriously
Absent.

Sturgis, s. D., April There Is
much uneasiness w the sudden dis
appearance of Veterinarian Samuel +.
Gelston OF the Third cavalry, tenn
porarily stationed at Fort Meade.
Tuesday night of last week he came
up from the post and put his horse in
a livery barn. He stayed in town that
night, arose at Z o'clock in the morn
ing, got his horse, rode to the post, put
his horse In the stable, went to his
quarters. exchanged his uniform for
citizens clothes and has never been
seen since.
The case is a queer one. Gelston
was a southern gentleman who seldom
drank intoxicants. He was quiet and
well liked by all. A theory OF suicide
has been advanced, but 1t seems hardly
probable that a mar with his pros
poets would commit q deed of that sort.
When he was stationed in the Philip
pines he had q sunstroke, and the cir
cumstance may have had a tendency
to make him temporarily irresponsible.
He has always wanted to be trans
'erred to the Philippines.

WOULD RESTRAIN
MOUNTAIN FRESRETS
Black Hills Man Would Run
Spring Torrents Into Table
Lands and Arid Districts.
MUCH WATER Is WASTED

Streams and Send the Water
Into System of irrigation
bitches.

Deadwood, S. D.. April 7.-Hon. A. }.
Plowman, formerly judge of the Eighth
judicial circuit of South Dakota, OF
fers a suggestion that may be of value
to the United states geological survey
In carrying out the provisions of the
national irrigation law. Judge Pow
mans plan is to run levels from the
various streams where they emerge
from the Black Hills and other noun
tain ranges and ~excavate canals Tor
carrying the flood waters of the stf
out over the table lands and fiat re
gions, instead of allowing them to es
cape
This would be the means of X
the land and repienishing many OF the
water sources, and in many instances
could be utilized to supply storage
reservoirs, whereas at present the wa
tiers of the freshet season rush away at
great velocity, swelling he
for q time and cutting away great
gorges, and in a few hours are out OF
the state, without working any benefit,
some of the streams drying up entirely
There are numerous water courses In
western South Dakota that do not con-
tain any water except in the spring OF
the year or after heavy transforms, ow-
ing to the waste system that now pre-
walls.

Q OF PICKENS.
YaIe's Prize Orator Was a Colored
Ferry Boy in Arkansas,

New Haven, Conn, April 7.-Yale's
colored orator, William Pickens, the
member of the junior class who cap
tured the Ten Eyck prize of 500, TAX
ing the honor from our bright speak
ers, earned the first money for his edu-
cation as a ferryman OF the Arkansas
river. He went through the high school
at Little Rock, where his home Is.
When he got through the high school
he worked his way through the ITALIA
dega college in Alabama. At this time
he was completely strapped for money.
He worked in stores n In shops, and
when he could not find anything else
to do he went to work as a laborer on
a railroad just outside Chicago. Then
he got employment in a Chicago ma
chine shop, and when he had made
enough to pay his fare to this city he
started for Yale. He washes windows
now for money enough to pay his ex-
penses. No colored student had ever
before captured a prize at Yale.
