FOUND ON ASH PILE.
Live Baby Discovered in West Part o
Sioux Falls,

Sioux Falls. S. D., Aug. 2s.-Some-
thing Of a sensation was created by the
announcement of the finding of a living
baby on an ash pile near the foot Of
the Twelfth street viaduct.
1t was entirely nude. and although
badly chilled was yet alive.
DR.. Billion was summoned and after
an examination Of the baby which
proved to be a girl, he stated hat the
child might live.
The exposure was, however, too much
for the little n and it died during the
morning.
There is little doubt that a deliberate
attempt to murder the infant was made
before 1t was placed on the ash pile
and abandoned TO its fate. Masks on
the little throat clearly indicate that
the inhuinan person or persons who
abandoned 1t first choked the little girl
IN an effort to end it's life.
1t Is probable that the infant became
unconscious as the result of the chok-
ing. and that it was then taken to he
ash pile and abandoned In the belief
hat 1t was dead.

STAGE is CALLING HER
7orn.er Mrs. MoEineaux Takes Her
Husband and Infant and Returns
to the Footliqhts.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 3O.-The de-
parture yesterday afternoon for New
York city of Mr.. and Mrs. w. ID. Scott,
OF this city, is of more than ordinary
interest, for the reason that Mrs. Scott
was formerly Mrs. Roland b.. MOlineuX,
of New York. divorce of the alleged
murderer VINO served a priSuU term on
Il first conviction but was acquitted on
%retrial.
The departure of herself and nus
band for New York is in accordance
with plans formulated by Mir. and Mrs.
Scott some time ago, out the disposal
OF the law practice of MI. Scott and
their enanss yDresilsnes until nj the se' plesl
ent time.
About Two years ago, when Mrs.
Scott secured her divorce and was re-
married. 1t was reported that she had
decided to go upon the stage. In fact,
all preparations FOR the event had been
made, but at the last moment Mrs.
Scott, who had gone to New York for
the purpose stated, returned and pre-
pared for her ACCOMPLISHMENT.
Mrs. Scott Immediately Cancelled her
engagement and returned to her JUS
band in Sioux Falls, leaving behind not
only a disappointed manager, but a
disappointed public. The Eeen regret
caused by her withdrawal from the
agreement at the last moment is we'll
remembered.
AT that time Mrs. Scott was offered
the splendid salary of $1,000 per week.
She fully ntended to fulfill the con-
tract, had rehearsed several times with
u full ORCHESTRA and her gowns had
been ordered and made when My. SCOTS
inability to take up his residence at
that time in New York was made clear
to her and his Wife unhesitatinyly
returned to Sioux Falls.
Tempting offers have been renewed to
Mrs. Scott at various times, and in
view of the fact that her husband is
now able to become Il resident of New
York she will appear before the New
YORK pubic this season. The several
propositions are being considered by
her, but not until after her arrival in
tPe east win she reveal her plans.

practice of cattle dipping has been fol-
lowed in Stanley and other counties

county Inspector ordered general dip
ping of all cattle in Stanley county

starr d in to carry out the order, u
on account of the rains delaying the
work early in the season, many of them
now desire TO get their beef cattle on

ara willing to dip all cattle which re-
main on the range, but want to get
their beet { tile on the market as soon
as possible. In that line suit has been
brought against the county inspector
OF Stanley county by a number of cat
tie owners, and the matter is set for
nearing before Judge Carly ON the Goth
of this month. The points raised are
