punishment for deceiving a young
woman of Sioux Falls will be swift and
sure. When taken before Judge Waits
the prisoner waived his preliminary
hearing and was held for the neXt term

ing seen, II she readily identified the
! prisoner as the n.an who had deceived,

of the Presbyterian church, and also
of the Baptist church.

Wis, stenographer in the Sioux Falls
Savings bank. the leading financial in
stitution of the city. He at once COM
menced to pay court to the young lady,
and on October 5. last. this eliminated
in their marriage. They lived happily
together and Mrs. Lyons was nearly
Frustrated when on December % her
husband mysteriously disappeared.

weeks that she became satisfied a

to justice, and opened a correspondence
with every book bindery in the country,
Lyons being a book binder by trade.

ried three times before he married her

KIEFER SHES AT
MENTION OF OFFICE
Declines to Be Candidate for
Anything-Ross Clark Sug-
gested for Comptroller.

Col A. r. Kiefer, frequently spoken
Of for some weeks past as a prospec-
tive candidate for mayor on the Re-
publican ticket, and more recently sug-
gested as a candidate for city treas
urer, yesterday declared to a commit
tee of Republicans that he would not
be candidate for any Office this spring
under any circumstances He decIar-
ed his decision to be final.
The committee which called upon
Col Kiefer yesterday represented the
Republican advisory committee, and
was made up Of S. Pope Spates, S. P.
Crosby, Nels Ness, Michael Goss.
Charles Mobery and G. E. Hamilton.
1t was the committees purpose to
secure Col. Kiefer's promise to become
a candidate for city treasurer upon
the Republican ticket, but the colonel
could not be induced.
Il have made up my mind not to
become a candidate for any office this
spring" said Col Kiefer and he said
he desired to make it plain that he
would not and could not be induced
to change his mind.
Col Kiefer received the committee
pleasantly, however. and made some
suggestions regarding the makeup of
the city ticket this spring. He sug-
gested that a Scandinavian be select
ed from the First ward to run for
comptroller and that a German from
the Eighth be decided upon for city
treasurer.
In suggesting a German from the
Eighth, Col. Kiefer is said to have had
in mind W. A. Gerber, president of the
Mckinley club, who has already been
mentioned for the place.
In the daily search for an acceptable
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for comptroller Republican lead
ers are said to have come into contact

of value. The exhibits received from
the graded schools are, as whole, of
an excellent character. Some of the
work of the pupils in the lower classes
is remarkable, especially the handwrit-
ing.
Drawing and water color illustrat
ing are also unusually good. We have

painting that appear to have been done
by trained artists, so exact are the de-
tails and so correct are the coloripgs.

The penmanship accompanying the
painting is remarkable for a child of
that age.

COLD WAVE COMING GOES MAD IN A JIFFY
John johnson Becomes Dis.
traught With Religion.

John Johnson, Swede, twenty
eight years old, went suddenly mad at
the gas company's plant on East Sew
enth street at midnight Friday night,
and dropping his tools dashed out into
the street with a cry Of terror.
His fellow workmen ran out after
him and after a chase of several blocks
succeeded in capturing him. He was
possessed of the idea that they wished
to kill him and fought violently to free
himself.
He was taken to the home of his
brother-in-law Charles Peterson, 765
Minnehaha street, where he stops, and
DR.. H. L. Stolpestad called to attend
him. The doctor diagnosed his case as
one of sudden madness brought on by
over of thought on re-
ligious subjects and suggested that he
be sent to an asylum.
While confined in Peterson's house
yesterday he succeeded in getting out,
and without hat or coat ran down the
street, closely followed by Peterson.
He ran to a shoe store on Payne ave-
nue., lodged around and ran out again,
and fled to a mission house on Mime
haha street, several blocks away,
where he attempted to force his way
in. The door was securely fastened,
however, and he did not succeed. Pc
terson finally caught him and took
him back to his home
Yesterday evening he attempted to
choke himself to death with the aid of
a handkerchief, but was discovered in
time to prevent his death. The Mar
garet street police station was notified
and the man removed to the county
jail, where he was placed in a strait
jacket and confined in a padded cell.
