MERRY PARTY ON
'STUMPING' TOUR.
BUT THREE LEGS IN THE WHOLE
BUNCH.
Men from the Four Corners Of the
Country Meet Here to Be Fitted with
Artificial Limbs and Become Fast
Friends-They Enjoy Journal
''seeing Minneapolis Trip Together

The, Journal touring car which
left the building at i pm. today on its
regular trip carried the unique party
of the season.
In the group of men there were only
three sure:enough legs out of possible
twelve. The driver of the car was IN
possession of one full set. 3. II. Erlck-
son, proprietor Of the Erickson Artii-
cial Limb company, and chaperon, pos
sessed one-third of the remainder. Two
of his guests divided the other two be-
tween them.
The cripples had assembled in Min
neapolis from all parts Of the country
to get as near to nature as they could
in replacing their missing legs. Moved
by a common impulse they decided to
make the first try of their new legs to,
gether. Common timidity suggested
that a Journal "Seeing Minneapolis
car would be the best means Of loco.
motion after all for the first trip, and
so a car was chartered. ~.
The party was made up as follows:
J. P. Gingras, Montreal, Que, no lsSs'
Houghton, Mich, no legs, railway acct
dent; Lewis Allen, Clinton, lowa, one
leg, railway accident; Julius Melgord,
Everett, WASH, one leg, railway ac-
cident.
Mr.. Erickson takes such pride in the
product of his factory that he also
wears an artificial leg instead of the
one nature designed for him. It was
finally decided to take Mrs. Allen along
with her husband, and she looked SUI
premely happy as the party Of frag
ments Of humanity bowled over the
| broad avenues.
It is expected that the group viii
start some kind of distance contest
for amusement tomorrow. Odds are
given on the two men who have beer
deprived of both legs.

LURED AWAKBY !
FALSE PROPHET
FOOLISH SOUTH DAKOTANS NOW
WANT TO RETURN.
Twenty five Persons, Blind Followers Of
the Leader of a. Religious Mania,
Have Spent Their Substance and Are
Stranded in South Africa. -.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Sioux Falls, S. D.. May 11.-tFor
sale, one alleged prophets-cheap; ap-
ply to those who suffered from his false
teachings.'
Sucha notice would do to use in con-
nection with the experience of several
South Dakotans who left Union county
last November for South Africa. They
were induced to take this step by a
false prophet, who asserted ne had a
vision that if his. neighbors went to
South Africa, the Lord would provide
for them there. sa. .. ...,.
Letters have Just reached the state
to the effect that the party is stranded,
and that the members will return to
their former homes in South Dakota, II
their. friends will forward them the
money for the return journey.
There were twenty-five Of the crusad-
ers-men, women and children. Knowl-
edge Of the curious belief entertained
by them was first brought to public no
tice shortly before the departure Of the
party, thru the holding of an AUCTION
on what is known as the Eric Olson
farm, west Of Beresford.
For some time prior to the sale, there
had been an intense religious sentiment
in the community. The leader in the
religious mania was, Henry, Hendrick-
son, who was looked upon, by his fol
lowers, as osmething of prophet.
Many believed that he was in direct
communication with the lord.
Hendrickson asserted he had had a
vision, in which he was informed that
if twenty-five persons would sell their
property, and take train on Thursday
Nov. "a, 1904, for Cape Town, South
Africa, they would on their arrival at
their destination, be taken care Of by
the Lord. .H
One Of the believers in this strange
vision was Falker Hanson, who has a
large family, and was doing well at
farming.
The strange thing about the exodus
was that practically every member OF
the party appeared to be of average
intelligence. But SO earnest was theil
belief in the alleged vision that they
refused to heed the advice of friends
who urged them to abandon the intend
ed journey, declaring that if they per
sisted in their intention adm departed
for South Africa, their pilgrimag,
would end in disaster
