throw him into the well.
Mrs. Hadley is a widow woman. Her
husband was killed very suddenly
three years ago, and there was some
at the time that Lou Hunt
who was living with them at the time
had killed him. 1t was afterwards
decided that he had been kicked in
the head by a mule. Mrs. Hadley
dedies being present when her brother
was killed but will admit that she
had promised to help screen Harlan.
Each Nieee ofeyidence, from Harlan's
own mouth 20 that OF his accom-
pice tends to weave strong chain Of
evidence about him that may yet
prove TO be one of the foulest Of
murders.
AS IL appears now the SLAYER of Lon
Hunt will get aspeedy trial.and judge
nent.

The Unions theatrical reporter

evening to witness the production OF
the "Banker's Child" which has
been advertised considerably lately
He remained nearly through the
first act, which was all he could
stand. He thinks the company are
a lot of ''ham-fats" who n enabled
to exist solely because Of the remark
able talent displayed by the little
child who plays the part OF the
daughter. 1t is also his opinion

Mrs. C. L. Wood was an arrival
this week from Seattle, Wash,
where she has been visiting relatives
several weeks. She reports Seattle

the climate, which is q little too
moist to suit most South Dakota
people. Mrs. Wood met a number OF
former Rapid City people, whom
she reports as doing we'll and are
happy. Roy Frank, her on. who
left here with her, will soon enter
the law department of the state uni
versity there. Mrs. Wood and the

that a change of time is contem-
plated by the Northwestern, which
