VERDICT AGAINST U
South Dakota Farmer Awarded Dam.

South Dakota Farmer Awarded DAM
ages for Bad Oil Explosion.
B%ritton, S.. d., Nov. 20.-A jury in
the United States court for South Da-
kota has returned a verdict of far
reaching Importance. which ii followed
by juries elsewhere in the United
States will materially reduce the prof
its of the Standard Oil company.
Carl Ogren, a farmer living in this
l(MarshalD county, instituted a suit
against the Standard Oil company on
behalf of himself and minor children,
by which he sought to recover from
the oil company damages in the sum
OF $1,000 for the death of Mrs. Ogren,
which was caused last November by
the explosion of a kerosene lamp.
The suit originally was instituted in
the state circuit court for Marshall
county, but later was transferred to
the United States court. The plaintiffs
based their claim for damages on the
ground that the oil in the lamp was
adulterated with gasoline, resulting in
the explosion which caused the death
of Mrs. Ogren.
After hearing the testimony in the
case the jury awarded the plaintiff a
judgment for $500 against The stand
ard Oil company. .

Great Northern railroad, was arrested

cunt. He maintained a watch over
Stacey's place of business until he had
secured evidence which warranted his
arrest, rs stated, and every effort will
be made to secure the conviction of the
defendant when the case is tried.

INDIAN BELLE ELoPED.
But the Pearl of Her Eye and Herself;
Were Put in Lookup.

Chamberlain. S. D.. Nov. 2O.-Society
among the Sioux Indians on the
'Gankton and Crow Greek reservations
have been scandalized by the elopement
of az Indian beau and belle. which was
out with all the picturesque
features which distinguish the elope-
ment of white persons.
> The principals in the Indian elope-
ment were Blanche. daughter of a
Sioux warrior named Old Man, whose
home is on the Crow Creek reservation,
and Robert Spotted Eagle, a young
warrior who belongs to the Yankton
reservation. Blanche is the wife of a
brother of the warrior With whom she
eloped, but becoming tired of her hus-
band recently instituted an action for
divorce, in approved White style.
In her divorce suit she asked that she
be restored to her maiden name.
Blanche Old Man. The elopement of
the girl n her brother-in-law took
place While her divorce suit was pend
ing, she doubtless believing that rs long
as h had commenced action she was
freed from her matrimonial bonds.
All three of the parties directly CON
cerned in the elopelnent, the two prin-
cipalS n the deserted husband, re-
sided in Charles Mix county at the time
of the elopement. The clippers made all
haste to Buffalo county, where they
took refuge on the Grow Creek reser-
walton. @#
Acting III accordance with i~nstruc-
tio.:s from the authorities of Charles
Mix county, Sheriff Gebhart. of Buffalo
county, after an all days drive, located
the clippers n placed them under ar
rest. They will be returned to- Charles
Mi: county for trial in the state circuit
court of that county.
ne clippers are of the younger gener-
alton of Sioux Indians, and both speak
Ell Slish f1uently. having been well ed
,ucated in the government schools. They
are between 20 n 25 years of age.
They apparently were not worried by
the predicament in which they found
themselves, and while in the Buffalo
county Jail spent hours making goo goo
eyes at each other through the grated
'steel bars of the separate cells.
