There was considerable partly cloudy

more particularly over the eastern por-

The soil is simply moist, and in some
eastern counties the rainfall was in ex-

low land too wet to be worked.
The temperature averaged a little be-

was the warmest day, the maximum
temperature ranged from 50 degrees at
Rapid City to So degrees at Mitchell.
Reports received indicate that the min

from AZ to SO degrees.
Most of the reports received indicate
that good growing conditions predom-
mated, while some others indicate that
the weather was too wet and cloudy for

KAUFFMAhS HAVE
LEFT SIOUX FALLS
Wealthy Brewer and His Wife Refuse
to Make Their Destination
Known.

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 6.-Moses
Kaufman, the wealthy local brewer,
with his Wife, Mrs Emma Kaufman,
who as the result of her preliminary
examination on June 20 was held for
trial in the state circuit court on the
charge of alleged murder OF Miss Agnes
Polreis, her 16-year-old domestic, and
who was admitted to bail in the sum
Of $4,000 by the state supreme court,
accompanied by their son Charles de-
parted for AN unknown destination.
yesterday
Charles Kaufman only recently re-
turned from Ohio. where he was at
tending college,
The destination of the accused wom-
an and her husband and son is care
fully concealed from the public. 1t is
thought, however, they will proceed to
some small and remote place in the
seclusion Of which Mrs. Kaufman, as
well as Mr.. Kaufman, can recover
from the severe nervous strain to which
they have been subjected during the
past few weeks. Their destination is
kept secret for the reason that they
want rest and quiet, free from the no.
toriety Which would result should their
destination be made public.
How long they will be absent from
they will remain away until well
towards the end of the summer or early
fall, returning in ample time for the
calling of Mrs. Kauff1nan's trial in Mo-
vember.
Other prominent figures in the alleged
tragedy, Mr.. and Mrs. John Polreis, pa
rents Of the girl for whose death Mrs.
Kaufman is alleged TO be responsible,
by strange coincidence also have tenn
porarQy changed their place of resi-
dencA Their home is near Parkston,
In tho southern part of the state. but
they now have gone to the home of Mr..
and bfrs. Joseph Schwartz. who reside
on farm near Webster. in the north-
ern part of South Dakota. The dead
girl was niece of Mr.. Schwartz. Her
parents will remain With the Schwartz
family for an indefinite period. 1t is
feared that Mrs. Polreis is becoming af-
fected through grief over the death of
her daughter, and it was deemed best
to remove her for a time to new scenes
In the hope that she would recover.

Kansas City, Kan, Executive Gets Err
ror Writ.
Kansas City, Mo-, July 10.-w. w. Rose.
mayor of Kansas City, Kan, was last
night granted a writ of error by David j.
Brewer, justice Of the United States SUI
preme court. which reverses the decision
of the Kansas supreme court and stays
the judgment of that body in fining Mayor
Rose $1,000 and demanding that he relin-
auish his office. John H. Atwood, of
Leavenworth. Roses attorney, sent tele-
gram to Mayor Rose from Hot Springs.
Ark, notifying the mayor of Justice Brew
er's action.
Mayor Rose will continue to perform his
official duties as mayor until the case Is
acted upon by the supreme court of the
United States, and it is believed his term
OF office will expire before that tribunal
decides the case.
The application for a writ of error
granted by Justice Brewer is identical
with the application denied by the Kansas
supreme court. The application charged
an infringement of the guarantee given an
pfficeholder by the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution.
