The arrival of Mrs Molineaux in
South Dakota nearly three years ago
speedily set tens of thousands of ton.
CUES wagging and aroused the Deep
est interest throughout the country.
When her period of six months
residence in the city had terminated
and she had under the law become
legal resident of South Dakota,
efforts were made to ascertain where
she would institute her divorce action.
1t was generally believed the suit
would be commenced in some county
in the interior of the state However,
steps were taken by her attorneys
to suppress and keep from the news
papers all information concerning
her divorce suit and the place where
it had been instituted.
These efforts were so successful
that even after 1t was admitted by
her counsel that she had been grant
ed a divorce not the slightest informa-
tion could be secured as to the place
where the decree was granted.
Mrs. Molineaux was then married
to Scott and at once moved into the
fine residence which Mr.. Scott had
built in accordance with plans ap-
proved by his prospective bride.

To Kill Coyotes.

An effort is to be made to rid Mon
tana of coyotes by means of infec-
ton, and the first experiments in
that line are now being started in
Teton and ChOuteau counties. State
Veterinarian Knowles, under whose
direction the experiments are to be
made, has sent a NANCY coyote into
both of these counties. They will be
turned out on the range by men who
will endeavOr to watch results ana
make report of them.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture an appropriation was made for
the purpose of making an expert
ment in killing coyotes and wolves
on the ranges by inoculating them
with the mango. Several months ago
DR.. Knowles secured seven young
coyotes. During their confinement
two died, but the others are husky.
They have all been inoculated with
mango, the two that have been sent
to Teton and Chouteau showing the
disease in a pronounced form. Two
of the three that are still in con-
finement show the disease in mark
ed way, but the third. while inoculat-
ed appears to be immune so far.
Under the law the animals are to be
turned loose in different parts OF the
state.
"The matter is an experiment"
says DR.. Knowles, "and hope it will
prove a successful one. MY only
fear is that the infected coyotes
turn out may not get hold Of poison
before they get the chance to spread
the disease. l have been feeding
them meat and they will not be SO
sharp about letting poisoned meat ON
the range alone as are the wild ones.
Still, l have hope. as this is the
breeding season, that my diseased
animals will get around some before
they meet death by the poison route.
II they live four weeks they will
spread the disease to such an extent
among the other coyotes in their vi
cinity that the experiment will gel
q good start"

believing that those growers who are
open to fair offers, all things consid-
cred, will have a chance to sell befol e
long. There are some who will un-
doubtedly prefer to wait for the mar
ket, and it is just as certain that 9TH

either way, but it will be remember
ed that not one of those who con-
tracted last spring lost any money

fair offers will bring out a lot of

Sheep Very Active.
Lambs are practically out of the
market, but sheep are in active de.
mand at good prices. During the week
Senator ]. D. Waite sold 5000 head
at $3.50. OF these, 5000 were weth'

Why Japan Made Concessions.

Portsmouth, Aug. 31.-The following
statement of the Japanese argument
which governed their decision to
waive the indemnity can be accept
ed as authoritative:
Japan realized fully she was max
ing a sacrifice for peace but she was
looking to the future. 1t was not a
question of whether the war could be
successfully continued, but of whether
peace was not now more advantageous
to Japan.
Japan had already gained all she
fought for. 1t was only the 'spOils
of war that remained, and having
achieved the real objects of the war
she could afford to forego the spoils
rather than be placed in the position
of fighting for money. While Japan
believed she was entitled to the spoils
she felt that her position was so
strong, her success so complete, that
she could yield without detracting
from the force of her victory

WILL TRY STAGE.
Divorced Wife Of Roland Molineaux
Hankers for a Career.


Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 31.-The
departure Monday for New York city
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. D. Scott, of this
city, is of more than ordinary inter-
est, for the reason that Mrs. Scott
was formerly Mrs. Roland B. Molin-
eaux, of New York, and after resi-
dence of nearly three years in Sioux
Falls is returning permanently to
Gotham, where Mr.. Scott will engage
in the practice of law, and Mrs. Scott
will take advantage of one OF the
alluring offers that have been made
her to appear on the stage.
Mr.. and Mrs. Scott and their little
con will proceed direct to Long Is
land, where they will reside until cool
weather, and where Mrs. Scott will
complete the preparations for her ap
pearance on the stage.
The departure of herself and hus
band for New York is in accordance
with plans which Mr.. and Mrs. Scot
formulated some time ago. but tht
disposal of the extensive law practict
of Mr.. Scott and the birth of theil
little son delayed their change Of resi-
dence until the present time.
| The removal to New York and tn,
acceptance of stage engagement
needless to say. is not due to neces
sity, as Mr. Scott, whose legal attain
ments have pushed him to the fore
front of attorneys of the state an
northwest, has for years had one q
the most lucrative law practices q
any attorney in South Dakota, an
has accumulated fortune of suff
cient size to provide comfortably 70
his family during the remainder {
their lives.

Fergus County argus., 1905-09-01

Witte and Baron De Itosen returned
to the hotel for luncheon. The ia
panese had remained at the conference
hall to lunch with Mr.. Pierce. The
news that peace had been concluded
had preceded the Russian plenipoten-
tiaries and such scenes of wild re-
joicing have never before been wit
messed in the state of New Hamp-
shire as greeted them upon their ar
rival at the hotel. NJ. Witte, dazed
at the sudden and happy termination
of the conference, was fairly over
powered by the tremendous ovation
he received. He could only express
his gratitude by shaking the hands
of everybody, and in response to the
volley of questions fired at him as to
the terms, murmured
I'VE pay not kopeck and we get
half of Sakhalin.''
Witte congratuIates Himself.
Later. in his room, when he had
partly recovered himself, he declared
that he could not have dreamed of
such victory, for that he regards
the result a diplomatic triumph of the
first magnitude he makes no attempt
to conceal, and that is the general ver-
dict here tonight. The Russians are
OverjOyed as to the result.
I'VE have had our Liao Yangs and
Mukdens on land" they say, land
our Tsushimas on sea, but the Japan
ese have their Portsmouth
ovation to Witte.
Not until NJ. Witte reached the ho-
tel with Baron De Rosen, shortly af-
ter 1 o'clock, and received one of the
most remarkable ovations ever ac-
corded a foreigner in this country
did the guests in the hotel know the
terms of peace, which the Associated
Press had bulletined few minutes
after the adjournment of the morning
session. For half an hour the crowd
awaited the arrival of NJ. Witte. Word
had come that he and Baron De Ros
en- were returning to their hotel for
luncheon. but that the Japanese mis-
sion would remain at the navy yard
BY the time the big automobile
bringing the Russian peace makers
dashed up I'd the front Of the Russian
Headquarters the veranda was crowd
ed with 300 persons. The crowd met
the ENJOYS before they reached the
veranda, and began the mighty cheer

GIVE PRAISE
TOROOSEVELT
DUE TO HIM THAT PEACE Is RE.
STORED IN THE Or
lent.

Oyster Bay, Aug. 29.-Late tonight
President Roosevelt received the fol-
lowing telegram from the Russian en-
voys:
Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 29.-The
President: We have the honor to in
form you that We have reached an
agreement with the plenipotentaries
of Japan. To you history will award
the glory of having taken the gener-
Gus initiative in bringing about this
conference, whose labors will now
probably result in establishing a
peace honorable to both sides.
"WITTE.
"ROSEN."
To this telegram the president sent
the following:
"Oyster Bay, Aug. 29.-Witte and
Rosen, Portsmouth: l cannot too
strongly express my congratulations
to you and to the entire civilized
world upon the agreement reached
between you and the plenipotentiaries
of Japan, and upon the fact that
thereby peace has been secured, just
and honorable to both sides.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.'
A similar response was sent by the
president in his reply to the dispatch
received this afternoon from Baron
KOmura.
President Roosevelt said tonight that
in the near future he expected to
make a formal statement regarding
the work of the Washington confer
ence. He felt it would not be wise
for him to issue such statement al
this time.
The presidents desire to secure
peace was so strong that he brought
to bear every article of the power
he wields to prevent a rupture of the
conference. That his efforts were
crowned with success was due in 9
measure to the sincere desire of botf
belligerents for peace, and to the
magnanimity of the conferees.

STUDZINSKI MURDER.
Another Arrest is Expected Within a
Few Days.

The status of the StNZinski MUIR
der case is practically the same as 1t
was last Tuesday, so far as develop
ments made public are concerned.
The officers are still hard at work,
and every clue is being run down
with varying results, the majority
of them leading to nothing, but a
few have tended to throw light on the
mystery. 1t may be said that the
original theory connecting Coyle and
Dennison with the crime has been
rather strengthened. ii anything, anu
another arrest is likely to be made
before another issue of the Argus ap-
pears. Hatch and Smith, who were
arrested after Coyle and Dennison
were taken in custody. are ,still in
jail, but aside from general sus-
picion. there is nothing against them.
These two men will probably be re-
leased shortly.

Of Killing Mike SINNERS.

Governors Letter.

Hugh Lackey, who on March 26,
1902, was convicted in the district
court of manslaughter for the killing
of Mike SINNERS near Kendall in Oc-
tober, 1901, and who was sentenced
by Judge Cheadle on March 20, 1902,
to seven and half years imprison-
ment, has been pardoned by Governor
Toole. This action was taken upon
a strong petition sent to his excel
iency from this county, and the an
nouncement of it came in a letter to
Lavid Hilger received last evening.
Gov. TooIe's Letter.
This letter reads as follows:
To Hon. David Hilger.

relative to the case of Hugh Lackey.
an applicant for pardon. On the
29th inst. granted a pardon in this
case, transmitting all papers in the
case to the State Board of Pardons,
among them being a recent letter
from Judge Cheadle, to which you re-
fer in your letter.
have this day referred your let
ter to the State Board of PardOns
for the consideration Of it's members
in connection with the case. Yours
truly, J. X. TOOLE, Governor.
The matter will be taken up by the
Board of Pardons at Helena on Sept.
II, and it is expected that the gov
ernor's action will be confirmed.
History Of the Case.
1t appears that on Oct. 8, Lackey
and SINNERS were engaged in getting
out some logs near Kendall. The
former was driving a team up the
hill. and the men had some sort Of
an alteration, and Lackey went to
the cabin near which the men were
working and got a heavy handspike.
With this in his hand he said, "If you
want any of that I'll give you some,"
and started after SINNERS. The lat
ter ran around the wagon, but the
latter overlook him and struck him
two blows over the head, which felled
him. He then said, mike, for lit
tie, I would kill YOU SINNERS, who
was lying on the ground, replied:
"You needn't mind, you have already
done it."
After this SINNERS was able to get
up and walk on to Kendall, and al
though he was in very bad condi-
ton, he drank freely. Later he was
taken to the poor farm, where he
died on December 20. The physicians
testified that the mans skull was
fractured. Death was due to blood
clot caused by the breaking Of blood
vessels at the time the fracture was
| inflicted.
The Defense.
The defense made an effort 10 show
that SINNERS suffered an injury pre-
| vious to the time he was assaulted
by Lackey, and there was some tes-
timony to show that he fell down IN
a Kendall saloon subsequent to the
time he was struck by Lackey. The
Jury, however, concluded that death
resulted from the blows inflicted by
Lackey.
