dren from the Mysterious Siumber
and Death Is the Resu!t-One
Case This Week.

Boncstecl, S. D., Oct. "A mystcri-
ously fatal bed, responsible already for
the deaths of three children, has just
come to light in the home OF George
Yesser. seven miles southwest of his
place.
Last week Mr.. and Mrs. Julius
Schroeder, living southwest also. ven
TO the IesSer home to visit. They
placed their 9-months-old babe on a
bed in an ordinary sleeping room of
the house and left it for a nap. Two
hours later in the afternoon, when they
went to awaken the child, they found
1t sleeping the slulnber OF death.
Mr.. and Mrs. Yesser said that two
other children had died in the same
mysterious manner on that bed. The
children had been left on the bed to
take Il nap. When it was time to arouse
them, they had, Il few months apart,
been found dead.
The mystery of the fatal bed has not
been fatholned. The dying Schroeder
child was brought to DR.. kenaston for
treatment at this place.

ORIGINAL POLICY GOOD.
Fraternal Insurance Paper Payable to
the First Beneficiary.

the TlFSl OeheTlCfafy.
Sioux Falls, S. D.. Oct. 6.-Of con-
siderable Importance to benefici"rieS IN
fraternal societies is the recent de-
cision of the state supreme court in the
case OF Foss VS.. the Modern Woodmen
and Peterson VS.. the Modern Woodmen,
A policy for the sum Of SO, 900 was in
Volved in the suit. The policy original
ly was issued to Gustave Peterson, a
resident of Sioux Falls. and was made
payable to a brother living in The old
country.
Peterson was taken sick and finally
died. During his illness and up to the
time Of his death he was cared for by
MIR. and Mrs. Charles Fo1, of this city.
while lying upon his dNthbed, Peter
son changed his insurance policy. MAX
ing $1,000 payable to another brother
who resided in Sioux Falls, II the
other $1,000 payable to Mr.. Foss.
The case finally reached the state cir
cult court, where it developed thai
Peterson had not signed the application
for Il change In policy, his Sioux Falls
brother admitting that he had signed
the name of his dying brother to it,
but at the request of the brother.
Judge Jones. of the state circuit
court. when The case came before him
for decision. decided in favor of the
original beneficiary III ordered that
the full amount of the policy be paid
to the brother residing in the old
country. This was largely on the
ground that the dying man was not in
fit condition mentally or physically to
make the change in the policy, and
that in any event Foss, not being a
relative of Peterson. could not, under
the laws of the Woodmen order, be
made a beneficiary, benefciaries being
limited to relatives of the po%licyholders.
The case was appealed to the state
supreme court. which has now affirmed
the decision of Judge Jones and the
policy stands as it originally was.

JOKE ON POLICE.
Raided a Club Room at Lead to Find
Evidence of GAMBLING,

Lead, S. D., Oct. 3.-The recent ac-
ton of the authorities in putting a ban
on all forms of gambling in Lawrence
county the other day gave some prac-
tieal jokers an opportunity to have
some fun at the expense OF a squad Of
policemen and a number of the So
riety women of Lead.
AS the resul of the work of the prac-
ii al jokers the entire police force was
called out to suppress What had been
represented to them as n tlagrant viola
ton OF the ORDER prohibiting gambling
in any form. In what they believed TO
be the discharge of their duty the Of
ficers raided n of the most popular
ZONE in town. When they entered the
parlors they found between twenty and
thirty of the most popular matrons and
sweetest women In the Black Hills con-
gregated about the tables playing six
tN-three.
The chief Informed the astonished
ladies thaI they We're all under arrest
and gave his men instructions to secure
all the evidence they could. For n
moment the woman was dumfounded,
and for a short time they did not real
iZe what it all meant, but when 1t did
dawn upon them they got mad, and
the name in which they chased the
policemen out of doors vas a revelation
to the officers.
DioolllS, cildlfS ana anything they
could get their hands on were utilized
by the angry women in driving the in
E2dinS policeman from the house.
Some of the blows which fell upon the
heads of the luckless policemen We're
not love taps by any means. Officer
WoolcoX lost his helmet in the melee,
and after the trouble had been ad-
lusted and the officers had promised to
be good, he could not be induced to
again enter the house, but had his hat
carried out to him.
The officers all bore marks which in
dicated they had been in a riot, and all
of them declare they will resign from
the force before they again tackle what
they term Il :mOh Of angry woman
