FARMER CAPTURES THIEF,
Turns Him Over to Police and Recov-
ers Stolen Money.

BY acting as his, own policeman,
John LogeS, farmer residing near
Elkton, succeeded in capturing
smooth crook, who represented him
self as harvest hand.
The prisoner states that his name is
Charles G. Taber. He admits that he
is from New York state, but refuses
to say what city or town he halls from.
Taber is young man, is good look
ing and wears good clothes. He posed
as a harvest hand in search of en-
ployment, and was engaged by Loges
to work on his farm. Loges took him
to his home, arriving there about
noon,
Loges found awaiting him note
stating there was box of freight
for him at the EllSton depot, and, after
the MONDAY meal, hitched his horse
to his buggy and started for town.
The harvest hand, after the departure
of Loges, stated he wanted to change
his clothing and was permitted to go
into Mrs. Loges private room for the
purpose.
The young man soon reappeared,
and, after leaving the house, asked a
young son of Mr.. and Mrs. Loges If he
could direct him to place where the
swimming was good. Replying that
he could, the boy and the stranger
started out together. A few moments
later Mrs. Loges made the discovery
that her room had been robbed of $50
in cash.
She lost no time In starting for town
to inform her husband, whom she met
on the road on his return home. Mr..
Loges, when informed Of what had &C.
Cured, said:
II guess I'll go for swim, tool"
BY driving rapidly he succeeded in
overtalling the harvest hand and his
son, who had not yet reached the old
the farmer they clint ed into the bug
gy, Loges stating that they would all
hunt for water together.
However, instead of hunting for
swimming place, the farmer drove to
town. When on the outskirts, the
harvest hand, doubtless suspecting the
purpose of the farmer, expressed
desire to walk up town so he could
get smoke" He was informed by
the farmers that if he would hand over
the $50 he the farmer) would con
slider the proposition of letting him
alight from the buggy, so he could go
for his smoke.
Denial was useless, and, after few
words, seeing that he was neatly trap
ped, the harvest hand turned over the
money, at the same time pleading
with Loges to let him off and say
nothing. But the farmer instead of
complying with his request, drove to
town and surrendered the young man
to an officer.
AS the result of his preliminary ex-
animation before justice, the pris-
oner was held for appearance at the
next term of state circuit court. The
theft, amounting, as it did to more than
$40, under the statutes of South Da-
kota, constitutes the crime Of grand
larceny and subjects the young man
to term in the Sioux Falls peniten-
tiary.

The annual address was made at the
morning session by Judge Alton B.
Parker of New York, the Democratic
candidate for president two years ago.
Judge Parker's subject was over-legis-
lation, which he regards as an evil.
Among the causes for the passage of
unnecessary laws Judge Parker gave
the failure to enforce laws already on
the statute books and general hysteria.
Judge Parker took occasion to express
his opinion, not complimentary, Of the
power over legislation exercised by
presiding officers of legislative bodies
and of executive influence over legisla-
ton.
The address of Thomas j. Herman
of Baton Rouge, La, at the evening
session was on "The jurisprudence Of
Lawlessness. Mr.. Herman discussed
the "unwritten law" the claw higher
than statute" of which SO much has
been heard lately, particularly in con-
nection with the scandalous New York
murder.
