Fault-inding is q good deal like
the drink habit. Once begun in =

to decide which Of these two vices

AGED MEN FOUND GUILTY OF
LAND FRAUDS IN PlTlFuL
SCENE.
GET-RICH-Q QUICK SCHEME
Federal Jury at st. Paul Finds w. r.
HornsneIl and Royal 3. stearns
Guilty of Fraudulent Actions In Con.
nsction With Public Lands in Da-
kota.

st. Paul, MINI, Dec. 2c.--The jury
IN the United States court, which has
been trying w. T. Horsnell and Royal
3, Stearns Of st. Paul. for land frauds
IN connection with South Dakota lands,
late yesterday afternoon brought in a
verdict of guilty. The specific charge
against Horsnell and stearns was con-
splracy to defraud the United States
out or public lands in South Dakota.
Royal B. Stearns lived in Fort
Pierre, S. D., and w. T. Horsnell for
merly ran an employment agency in
st. Paul. The plan was to get persons
to sign applications for homestead en-
tries, secure possession of the land,
and then according to their testimony,
rent 1T to stock raisers for grazing
purposes.
Horsnell secured number of girls,
whom he ostensibly engaged as stem
ographers, to make application for
land, on the promise OF receiving 500
for their trouble, they to make two
trips to South Dakota to prove up on
their claims to the land. The claims
were then to become the property of
Horsnell and Stearns. Four girls testi-
fled they signed the applications but
never received the $10U nor were they
given the free excursion to South Da.
okta promised them
Give Way to Loud Weeping.
Shortly after the jury returned a
verdict both defendants were sen
fenced by Judge Amidon, and the sen.
tences were interspersed by sensation
al charges made against the South Da
kota officials and the loud weeping OF
the two aged defendants that affected
everyone present in the court ROOM
Stearns said that soon after he, was
arrested he came to st. Paul to SEE
the district attorney. He said he was
always willing to plead guilty to hav-

and declared he never tried to get tho
lands for any other purpose.

county judge in South Dakota, he re.
1 peatedly refused to sign false papers
for people who tried to induce him tc
do so, though 1t was a common prac.
tice.
Stearns was then sentenced to ont
year and six months in the Minnesota
penitentiary at Saltwater and fined
$1,000. Horsnell was sentenced to si3
months in Jail and fined $500.

lost trans-continental automobilists,
Percy F. Megargel, Of New York, and
David F. Fassett, of Lansing, Mich,
in desperate condition, showed in,
without food or gasoline. thirteen
miles from town In few hours
longer they would have perished from
bitter cold.
Both men had managed to save
themselves from being frozen to death
by the use of gasoline to build fire.
Smoke from this fire led the rescuers
to them.
BY mere chance a squirrel had
been shot during the day and cooked
over their fire. 1t was their first food
for over thirty-six hours.
While looking for the automobiles
the searching party came across the
frozen body of logger who had been
lost for two days.

GIRL DIES
in RUNAW AY
MISS OLIVE ROSS LEAPS FROM A
BUGGY AND NECK is
BROKEN
WILD Ride AT NIGHT
Thseu Young Girls and One Man Are
Thrown From Flying Vehicle and
Death Of ons Results - Sister Of
Dead Girl Is 'nlured--Re!atives Live
In Ottun,wa.

Blakesburg, Deo, 20. .-(Special).-
Miss Olive Ross, aged Is years was al
most instantly killed last night when
she leaped from buggy in which she
was riding with three companions
near Pleasant home church, few
miles from Blakesburg. The team be-
came unmanageable and ran away and
Miss Ross, thinking to escape injury,
leaped out OF the buggy. She was
thrown with great force to the ground
and her neck was broken. Within a
few minutes she had breathed her last.
Her elder sister, Miss Tracey Ross, al
so jumped out Of the vehicle and sus-
tanned a broken ankle. Bert Brooks,
who was driving, was thrown from the
vehicle and escaped death as if by a
miracle. Miss Axle Millard. the fourth
member OF the party, climbed out of
the buggy over the back of the seat
and was not injured seriously.
Happy Gathering Saddened.
The accident with such tragic re-
suit occurred on the county road
near the Pleasant Home church at
about 10 o'clock Tuesday night. The
four young people, with number of
others, had been practicing for an en-,
terta1nment at the church and were on
their way to the residence of George
Miller to enjoy an oyster supper. Sew.
eral guests had already arrived at the
Miller home when the news of Miss
Ross death was brought to them and
the gathering that was to have been
so pleasant was turned into a relief
expedition
Bert Brooks, a we'll known young
farmer, was driving the team when the
runaway accident took place. The
horses became frightened and started
off at a frightful pace. Brooks tried
to hold them and to brace his feet
against the dash board. The latter
broke off under the strain, however
and the driver was thrown forward
upon the tongue between the madden
ed horses falling thence to the
ground. Strange to say he escaped in
jury.
The three girls were powerless
against the frightened horses and Miss
Olive Ross leaped to the ground. The
speed at which the buggy was going
deprived her of the ability to control
herself and she was thrown bodily tc
the ground, striking on her head. Hel
neck was broken and when help ar
rived she was beyond earthly aid
About hundred yards beyond the
point where her sister met her death
Miss Tracey Ross leaped out of the
vehicle. Her ankle was broken bu
otherwise she was only slightly In
jured. Miss Millard succeeded in leav
ing the buggy without sustaining seri
GUS injuries. I.
Tragedy Causes Gloom.
Miss Ross lived with her parents
Mr.. and Mrs. SAINT Ross, on farm
about midway between Ottumwa an6
Blakesburg. The family is a vel
known one, highly esteemed through
out Wapello county, and the sympath.
of the entire community is extended
to the relatives of the unfortunate
young girl. Her sister, Mrs, Bert Dick
son is a resident Of Ottum wa, residing
on Burrhus street and her uncle, P.
Ross, is also a resident of that city.
