Und derwood. New York;

What? Do you think I would try to take
mans life from him? No sir. While Attorney
General of the state had to serve as prosecutor
but l would never in my private practice take
a case against a man or woman whose human
life was at stake. Twice in my career could
have been appointed United States District At
torney, but both times I declined the offer"

missioners.

that if he had TO carry a musket many months

he reappeared with his medical certificate Com
missioner Cathcart asked the doctor if he
thought Mr.. Whyte worth SS a month and

value estimated as it was by the doctor in four
words:

Dell Rapids, s. D., Jan. 30, 1906.
Reporter and Farmer,
Webster, S. ID.
Dear Editor:
/ understand that Miss Olivia Dahl,
of Christians, Norway, is going to
appear at the opera house in Webster
next week aud / would like to say to
the people of Webster and vicinity, that
they should give Miss Dahl a packed
tuil house, she deserves it, and the peo-
pie will think SO when they have heard
her sing.
You see, that | regard Webster as my
home town, and therefore more or less
interested in the welfare of her people,
in fact / am almost ready to say: There
is nothing too good for Webster, but for
fear, that might be misunderstood
here. am cheerfully obliged 20 add,
that that is also true of Dell Rapids and
and that may account for the fact that
Miss Dahl has sung here twice in three
months, once at the church and once at
the opera honse. yet, though we gave
a good house each time, | think / am
fare to say, that u people feel that
they got more than what they gave.
With kind regards,
am,
Yours truly,
j. f. Haugen.

Upon Bella Davis-Other
Notes from Court.

The case of the Northwest Thresher
company vs.. q. o. Bailey occupied the
attention of the court Tuesday and was
a holly contested legal battle. +. w.
Taylor appearing for the plaintiff and
Sears & Potter looking after the defend
ants interests.
The jury found for the defendant on
all the issues. Attorney Taylor moved
for a stay of proceedings for 90 days
pending an appeal. The motion was
granted except as to taxation of costs.
Immediately after court was assem-
bled Wednesday morning Charles
Alberts and Bella. Davis were brought
into court to receive sentence.
The court asked the usual question,
"Have you any legal reason why SEN
tence should no be ~pronounced?"
l.. I'll. Woodwork, attorney for
defendant, Alberts, made a plea for the
ciemency of the court calling attention
to the youth of the prisoner and stating
he had always been of good character
and industrious, reading several letters
and "a certificate of good character com
ing from his old home in Michigan and
purporting to be signed by a dozen or
more of the leading business men and
citizens.
The court sentenced Alberts to a term
of four years to the ~penitentiary a
Sioux Falls.
j. H. Lund acting for the defendant,
Bella Davis, resisted the verdict on the
grounds that the jury by their verdict
failed to find the defendant guilty OF
any o~ffense, and asked for the discharge
of the prisoner.
The court denied the motion to dis
charge the prisoner ruling that the
verdict was in conformity to the
instructions of the court.
Attorney Lund then made a plea for
mercy, reading a number of letters
from the defendants old home in
Michigan. Several of the writers
offering to furnish dispositions as to the
good character and standing of Bella
Davis in that community.
Several statements regarding both
prisoners were subscribed and sworn tc
by the atlantis.
The court then sentenced Bella Davis
to the Sioux Falls penitentiary for 9
term of fifteen months and informed her
hat upon good behavior she would b,
discharged March /, 1907.

Aberdeen News, Monday.
Talk about good times, well, if the
marie d folks of Webster aud vicinity
did not have it last night at the dance
in the Kading hall there has never been
one in Webster. The gathering was
called the "old folks Dance" but if
there were any old ones present, they
did not act the part last night, but each
one demonstrated that no one is any
older than they feel. They were all
married folks-or about to be-and the
way they tripped the light fantastic toe
to the splendid music furnished by the
Star orchestra demonstrated couclusively
that no one grows old in South Dakota.
There was no foot race to get in some
special set at this dance, to use the
words of the humorist, "every person
present was just as good as his neigh
Dor and a dam site better" A good
substantial lunch was served about 100
o'clock. When the next "old folks
dance is given there is not a hall large
enough in the city to hold the crowd
that will be present. o. X. Olson, DR.
@ +. Brooks, VIM. Rich and Chris
Nelson as callers added much to the
pleasure of the evening.
The Sioux Falls Argus Leader, in
speaking of Mitchell meeting of the
South Dakota Retail Merchants asso-
citation, says: 81. CT Levoy, of Webs
ter, again got the floor and proved nm
self TO be quite an orator. He had sew
eral criticisms TO offer on the way the
association was being conducted, aud
also of the methods which many of the
the jobbers use in selling TO the mail
order houses. Mr.. Levoy's speech was
just what the association needed and he
was successful in stirring up much
action. He stirred up the secretary a
little, who asked Mr.. Levoy how long
he had been in South Dakota, and he
replied twenty-five years, and when he
was asked why this was his first attend
anne at a meeting, he replied that sew
eral years ago he received an invitation
to attend a meeting of the South Dakota
Retail Merchants association on station
cry printed in Sioux City, iowa, and he
thought he didn't want to come. The
secretary replied that this was many
years Ago., and that he regretted that
such a thing ever happened, and that it
was not while he was in office"
