FEW CATTLE
Nevertheless Farmers Are Complying
with the DIPPING Law.

Gam Valley. S. D. May lS.-Stock-
men are complying readily with the
provisions OF the new state law requir-
ing them to dip their cattle. Nearly
1900 head have already been dipped
at the Gann Valley dipping tank and
another tank in the north part of the
county will begin operations in a few
days. But very few cattle are found
10 be infected.
Stock is going onto the pastures in
excellent condition. There We're prac-
tically no losses during the winter or
early spring, Many stockmcn have in
creased their herds of cattle through
shipments from the Sioux City stock
yards.
Railroad developments are being
eagerly watched in This vicinity. The
probable route of the Milwaukee en-
tension from Armour to Orient, now
being built. is through Buffalo county;
also the Great Northern from Huron
to Chamberlain. for which articles of
incorporation are filed. is likely to pass
through Gam Valley and Buffalo
ty. Both roads are confidently expected
at no very dist9 . day.

O ALMOST $4,000.
Former Auditor of srule County Is
Much Behind in Accounts.

Chamberlain, s.. D., May 16.-The
committee selected by the county board
to check up the books of James H.
1orash, the d~efaulting auditor of Brule
county, has concluded its work and
finds his are short $4,000, in
round numbers. OF this amount the
county or his bondsmen will be short
about $1,000, and various stationery
and record Dol companies at Sioux
Falls, Sioux City, St. Louis, Chicago
and n or VI other points will lose
about $1,000. All this money and about
$4,000 of his own was blown in against
the many gambling games tina have
been openly run in this city for the
past three years.
In getting these sums out of the
county he sometimes had the county
board allow the same bill two or three
times. No one here believes that the
chairman, who signed the warrants,
received any of the returns In cash
that came to the county auditor, or
that any other member of the board
did, but these sums were sneaked
through and allowed because of the
i1competency of the majority of the
board to protect the people. The loss
is a heavy one, and the information
that follows the man who is inveigled
into gambling will make James H.
Yorash a fugitive from Justice for life
or a mar scorned and condemned by
all decent citizens.

YELLED MURDERESS DEAF
Carries the Secret of Her Identity to
the Grave.

Newburgh, N. Y, May 17.-Mrs. Hen
rietta Robinson, SO years of age, who
was known as the yelled murderess, is
dead at MatteWan state hospital. She
was convicted of the murder of Tim
othy flanagan and Catherine Lubee in
Troy, n. Y, in 1858. During the trial she
wore a heavy veil and said that she
would rather have any verdict pro-
nounced than to remove it. AT the
close of the trial she drew the veil for
an instant and smiling to the Judge
again drew it. She was sentenced to
be hanged on June 10, 1858. Her SEN
tence was afterward committed. She
was sent to the Auburn state hospital
for the insane in 1873 and later trans
ferred to Mattewan.
When a few days g it was certain
she must die the physicians e~ndeavored
to nave her reveal her identity, which
she had kept hidden since her commit
ment. She refused, saying she had
kept the secret for fifty years and might
as well let it die with her. Only once
in her long confinement did she ever re-
veal anything abou herself, and then
she told a physician that she came
from the English royal family. She
refused to say anything further.

FRED M. HANS ACQUITTED
Jury at Ainsworth Finds Him Not
Guilty of Murder.

.Ai,sworth. Neb.. May 1T.-After being
out all night the jury yesterday returned
a verdict of not guilty in the case of Fred
Nj. Hans, charged with the murder OF
MAJ id q. Luse. of Brown county, on April
9. 1901.
In the year 1901 and just prior to that
time several horses belonging to different
uersons had been shot on what was known
as the David Luse range anu Suspicion
strongly pointed III the direction of Luse
as The guilty one. One DuGuctte under
took the task of solving the mystery, ana
presently reported seeing David o. Luse
shoot and kill a horse belonging to Zacn
Foster, a ~neighboring ranchman. MI.
Foster came TO town and swore out a war
rant in Judge Potter's court April s., 1871,
charging Luse with the crime.
Fred NJ. Hans, who was a well known
detective in the employ of the Chicago and
Northwestern railway, was IN
on that day and was given the warrant to
serve. Trouble was expected in arrest.nS
Lusc, and Hans had a reputation for fear
ilessness, nerve and Quickness.
Hans Was an Officer.
In ompan with several others Ham
started for the Luse ranch, eighteen miles
north Of Ainsworth, but darkness over
taking them Hans thought best TO defer
making the arrest until the following
morning, which arrest he did attempt, go
ing to the house alone, with the resul.
that Luse was shot twice by him.
A coroner's jury was called and an in
quest was held, a verdict being eturned
generating Hans from any blame.
Nothing further was heard of the case
until the people of Brown county were
apprised that a grand jury was to convene
in Ainsworth on May is, 1903, or over two
years after the murder was committed.
This grand jury was in session several
days and finally found a true bill for muir
der in the second degree against Fred M.
Hans for the killing nf Luse.
He Gave Himself Up.
The defendant, upon hearing of the in
dictment, returned to Brown county and
gay himself up to the proper officials,
and after several attempts by his attor-
reys was finally given a trial and found
guilty as charged and sentenced to the
renitentiary for life. A stay of execution
was secured pending a review of his case
by the supreme court and bail bond fixed
at $4,000, which was furnished.
About a year ago the supreme court
passed upon the case, sending it back on
error for retrial.
The state at the recent term of court
elected to file a new complaint, charging
Hans with murder in the first degree,
Judge Westover sitting as a reviewing
magistrate. The evidence was considered
sufficient to sustain the contention and
the defendant was ordered committed to
jail without bail.
The second trial of the case, charging
murder in the first degree, occupied all
last week. The judge Saturday instructed
the jury that it must find a verdict OF
murder in the first degree or acouit.

gineer.
The South Dakota Central last fall

Only Fake Stockholders.
Mr.. Hill alleges in his complaint that
the directors did not open books for
subscription, as required by law, and
that they did not sign or agree TO take
any stock in the corporation, and are
not stockholders, but only pretended
stockholders 1t is further alleged
that there was delivered to each of
the defendant directors $4,000 of par
value of the said bonds or obligations
of the corporation, being 81 900 in eX-
cess to each of the defendants than
they were respectively entitled to, and
a like sum less than they subscribed
for or paid for or agreed to pay for,
making a total want of consideration
to the corporation of $4,000, and to
the extent of this sum is not real but
on the contrary is fictitious and void.
1t Is lnsoIvent.
Mr.. Hill alleges that the corporation
els insolvent and now operating at a..
loss He asks that certain stock is
sued to the defendants be delivered up
and cancelled; that bonds delivered to
the defendants in excess of 10000
each be delivered up for cancellation,
and that the railroad company and the
Western Surety company be enioined
from issuing, delivering or certifying
any other or further bonds.
He further prays that an injunction
be granted pending the suit restraining
the issuing of stocks or bonds. or the
certifying of the same by the Western
surety company, or the payment of
salaries or moneys to the direcors.
Mr.. Hill applies for the appointment
of a receiver to take charge of the
railroad and its income that the same
may be rightfully d~istributed.'
Judge Garland of the federal court
has fixed May 23. at 10 o'clock a. M,
as the time for the hearing in the case.
AT that time the defendants will be re-
CURED to show cause why the applica-
ton of the plaintiff should not be
granted.
Pending the hearing Judge Garland
granted a temporary restraining order
as prayed for by the plaintiff.
