MISS RYBERC'S
 DEBUT IN NOME
A Rare Combination of Drama, Music, PathOS and Capti.
 vating HumOr.

Miss Elma Ryberg, an experienced and successful reader and impersOnat- or, who comes to us highly recommend ed by the oratorical, educational and ChatauQua circles of her native state, will make her first public appearance in Nome at A. B. hall tomorrow even- ing. There can be no doubt that Miss Ryberg is endowed with an unusual amount of histrionic talent, otherwise she could not at such an early age have gained the recognition of the press and the foremost readers and educators. It was as dramatist Miss Ryberg began her career at college, easily taking the the highest hOnors among large class of talented people. But her versatility makes it difficult indeed to choose be- tween the respective merits of her diff ferent lines of work. Her work is con- spicuous for nothing so much as that charming naturalness which is coming to be considered the height of perfec- tion in art.
 Miss Ryberg will have as her able assistants Mrs. Loda Frazier Hays, a soloist, who comes to us with an envi- able reputation, Mr. John Henrick Lam- pc, violiniSt of rare genius, and other musical talent of Nome.

 On the claims around the mouth of Patterson there has been great deal of activity this fall and winter. Large dumps have been taken out, and they all expect a big cleanup in the spring.

THREE or THEM DID IT."
Find That Murdered Mennonite Girl
Spoke Words When Divine.

Find That Murdered Mennonite Girl
Spoke Words When Dying.
The details OF the murder of a young
woman in the Mennonite colony near
Yankton slowly are being gathered.
The story was told to William Jasper,
farmer of West Yankton county, by
Sam Kleinseser, a member Of the Bon
homme Mennonite colony. The won,
an who was assaulted and murdered
was widow named Hofer, and the
scene of the crime was on the lands of
the GAINESVILLE colony and not in the
Bonhomme colony's precincts. This
places the crime in Yankton county.
The reticence OF the Mennonite has
made it almost impossible to get at
the facts of the crime The original
story of the finding of the woman Is
entirely substantiated, except that she
was still alive when found and was
able to utter the words, Three Of
them did it" before she died.
No complaint has been made to Off
cials Of Yankton county and no action
has been taken by them, as they have
been under the impression that the
crime wa3 not committed in that
county. The time that has elapsed
since the murder has been sufficient
to allow all traces of the guilty par.
ties to be lost.
