BANK RoBBER sURRENDERS,
Young Man Gives Himself Up After
Confessin0 the Crime.


Custer, S. D., Sent. 26.--Young William
Lawrence of Deadwood walked into the
sheriff's office here and surrendered
was II of the BAN robbers who had
looted the Custer county bank on the
night of September 3. About So, 600 in
cash was taken at that time. When
Lawrence was put in a cell and queS-
toned it soon became apparent
thing was wrong. His stories did not
hold together, and he was ignorant of
certain facts which he must have
known if he had had a hand in the
robbery. Telephone advices from Dead
wood state that he had been employed
In a cafe in that city for several weeks,
and that the proprietors could prove an
alihi for him, as he was working at the
time the robbery was committed. They
further stated that his actions for the
past few weeks had been peculiar and
that he is believed to be mentally un-
balanced as the result of cigaret smok-
ing. It is thought that he brooded over
the subject of this robbery until he ac-
tually convinced himself that he had
had a hand in it, or else that an I'M
healthy desire for notoriety prompted
him to the step. He finally admitted,
after being questioned for some time,
that he was not one of the robbers, but
that he had met n of them at Edge
mont. The officers held him as a matter
of precaution until further inVestiga-
ton could be made. He is about 90
years of age and is said to have served
a term in the ~Plankinton reform school.

Deadwood, S. D., Sept. 26.-The Ira
Yelling County fair for the Black Hills
commences operations when a large
baggage ear filled With the products
of this section leaves for a six weeks
trip in the east. The exhibit goes cut
over the Northwestern railroad and
will take in main points of interest in.
Nebraska, Iowa, eastern South Dakota,
Wisconsin and Illinois. People in gem
eral will expect to see the fine samples
of ore and the representatives from the
different mines of the Hills, but what
is not expected is the splendid showing
made by the farmers and fruit men.
Over 100 apple orchards within the
boundaries of the Black Hills are rep
resented, one of which, embracing 100.
acres, is the largest orchard in the en-
tire state. Mr.. Thompson, who is the
owner of this place will sell this fall,
at least 1920 bushels of the very best
apples. Vegetables of all kinds includ-
ing %squashes weighing from 40 to SO
pounds, pumpkins big enough for Gin
derilla, and onions and potatoes which
uphold the reputation of the Hills are
in evidence.
One of the great agricultural exhibits
is that of small grains. The BLACK
Hills a beat any record on the
amount of wheat and oats produced to
the acre. Here in the car are shown
samples of wheat from one of the small
park farms. which yielded 10 bushels to
the acre. Another farm with 100 acres
OF wheat gave up the remarkable crop
OF 5000 bushels. One hundred nineteen
bushels of oats to the acre is not an ex-
~aggeration.
Fully fifty mining companies are rep
resented and gold ore from 81 to $50 in
value helps to fill the center of the car.
a fine case of specimens is the con-
tribution of the state school of mines
at Rapid City. Gold, silver, tin, copper,
galena and tungsten ores are among
those represented.
Captain Gardner, one of the old
timers of the Black Hills. and G. A.
Wiiksnson,M.of Belle Fourche, will ac-
company the car and proclaim to all
the people the great possibilities of the
Black Hills country.
