HUNGER KILLS A VONANS AFFECTION
She Alleges That Her Wealthy Husband Allowed He
Only Fifty Cents Month Spending Money.

Judge Jones of the state circuit court
in Sioux Falls, after a trial extending
over several days, has rendered a de-
cision in the divorce case of Della
Whitman VS.. Joseph H. Whitman, a
real estate dealer of Sioux Falls, who
Is reputed to be worth about 100000.
The plaintiff is now a resident of
Chicago, DR.. Burroughs, a well-known
physician of that city, being her
brother.
The suit was one of the most stoutly
contested divorce cases ever tried in
the local court. Mrs. Whitman herself
took the witness stand. She testified
ly, and that although he was wealthy
man he never gave her mbore than so
cents to 81 a month for spending
money.
She testified that she loved her hus
band when she married him. but had
not an atom of affection for him now.
When asked how long her love lasted,
she said:
well, it didn't last long. Starvation
soon drove love out of the door"
In the course Of her testimony she
stated that an attempt had bene made
poison her. She alleged that on one
occasion she was abducted and taken
into the country at the instance of her
husband, where she was strapped to
bed and men tried to force her to take
poison with the object of getting her
out of the way.

IRRIGATION PLANS IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Belle Fourche Project Is Officially Discussed
Other Practical Plans Under Consideration.

c. Fl. Fitch, who Is in charge of irri-
cation Investigations in South Dakota,
In his official report just submitted,
says the diversion of the Belle Fourche
river by large canal below the mouth
OF Red Water creek and a short dis
lance from Belle Fourche, is contem-
plated. The line of survey crosses
Crow creek and follows the river close
~ Tor a distance of about eight miles,
then by a cut thirty-eight feet deep
turns to the north and northwest,
crossing Dry, OWL Indian, Horse and
other small creeks as far as Willow
creek. Reservoirs for storage are nee
essary. Near the cut between Belle
Fourche river and Dry creek is Dry
Cree kreservoir. Here 1t would be
necessary to run two distinct canal
lines, one above the reservoir and the
other from the lower end Of the reser-
Volr. A second reservoir is located in
townships s and 9, range east, Black
Hills meridian, designated as Wilson
reservoir. 1t Is a lake bed Both will
hold water ,as the soil is gumbo.
The canal survey has been completed
TO Willow creek. The survey of the
reservoirs is in progress. The quantity
OF land which may be irrigated is not
ascertained.
On Owl, Indian and the larger creeks
other reservoirs mbay be filled by the
flood Of the Belle Fourche. It may also
be crossed without difficulty by the
canal twenty miles below its head. in
order to water lands upon the south
which are not reached by the Red Wa
ter canal, now operated by private par
ties. About 10000 acres of good land
could thus be reached.
According to rough estimate 1OO.-
GOO acres can be irrigated, and a con-
tinuation Of the survey on the north
side of the river will develop addition
al available land, but it is more q
question of water (food, flow and stor-
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1904-01-28

age) than Of land which will restrict
the size Of this project.
In Western South Dakota the north
fork Of the Cheyenne river has consid-
cradle food discharge and is subject to
sudden rises caused by rains. If the
floods could be impounded all the agri
cultural land along its course could be
reclaimed, but there is little oppor-
tunity for storage. Possibly 10000
acres could be reclaimed on both sides
of the river with reservoirs of sufficient
cvapacity. Only one reservoir was
found, on Pass creek, above the Bur-
lington railroad. Those on Dry creek
and Moss agate creek are of small Ca
pacity.
Lower on the south fork of the Chey-
enne, 10000 acres of bench land might
be reclaimed by a dam seventy feet
high, covering about 1000 acres and
backing the river up seven or eight
miles. 1t Is a good site, and with
plenty Of sandstone in sight, but the
cost would probably be excessive.
In the western part of the state two
possible reservoir sites were found on
French creek. which would water
about $4,000 acres of land On Battle
creek there is one, three miles west OF
Hermosa, under which there are about
10000 acres of land in private owner
ship. One at Spring Canyon pass, on
Spring creek, would water about Co.
900 acres of land. One above Rapid, on
Rapid creek, is unavailable because all
the land Is cultivated and occupied by
the Indian school. The water in Rapid
Greek canyon can probably be diverted
by canal ten miles long to a reservoir
on Boxelder creek, on which a dam
could be constructed near Black Hawk
covering 1000 acres, which would wa
ter a large quantity of land.
On Elk creek there is a possible res
ervoir about three miles below Pied
mont.

At the close of her testimony the at
torneys for the defense tried to have
the case dismissed on the ground that
her evidence had clearly proved her to
be insane.
After most Of the testimony had
been submitted the parties in interest
effected a settlement and Judge Jones
granted Mrs. Whitman a divorce on
the ground of desertion. Whitmas was
also required to pay the plaintiff ali
mony in the sum OF s10,25S. The Gus
tody of their little son was awarded to
the father during the school term, but
during his vacations the mother is to
have him in her charge.
Witnesses in the case did not sub
stantiate he charges of either cruelty
or nOn-support made by the plaintiff,
and the defendant, while willing for
the divorce to be granted, was opposed
to the decree being granted on these
grounds.
Several months ago, after the d.
vOrce suit had been instituted, Mrs.
| Whitman created a sensation by coming
o Sioux Falls from Chicago and Sc
curing her little son, who was in the
custody of his father. She was accom-
panied by her Illinois sister, and the
two women completely deceived Whit
man as to their purpose in coming to
Sioux Falls.
He afterwards applied to the courts
and Mrs Whitman was comnellad IN
return the child to him.

WILL TRY TO RAISE WINTER WHEAT
Humber of Brown County Farmers Will Give 1t a
Thorough Trial During the Coming Season.

farmers in many other portions Of
South Dakota will experiment on a
small scale this season with winter
wheat.
One incentive which leads the farm
ers of the state to take an interest in
winter wheat is that it natures from
three to four weeks earlier than the
spring variety, and thus would be out
of danger before the setting in of the
customary excessively hot weather
which South Dakota experiences dur
ing the latter part of June and fore
part Of July.
The farmers who will experiment
with winter wheat have been very
careful in selecting seed, and expect
their experiments to result success
fully.
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1904-01-28

A number Of farmers residing in
Brown county will during the coming
season experiment with winter wheat
raising. They recall that Nebraska
farmers used to swear by spring wheat,
and that it is only within the past few
years that they have tried the winter
variety of this cereal. with the result
that Nebraskas reputation as a wheat
growing state has increased wonder
fully, both the acreage and the yield
per acre having increased to a notable
extent.
The success of the Nebraska farmers
has awakened interest among the
farmers of South Dakota in this
wheat. In addition to the experiments
on a large scale in Brown county, the
