cases instituted against the members

GHOST uPSETS A TOWN
l1aunts Schoolhouse and Disappears
When Cornered-People Are
Frightened,

Fort Scott, Kan, Jan 3.-This city is
IN an pro- over the remarkable do
ings of q ghost. This ghost does not
wait for nightfall, but goes abroad by
day also. Its most frequent appearance
has been at a window of the MuSgrave
school house, where a strange face,
peering out, has frightened many timid
The same thing has occurred
after dark, and although soothing neigh
boris have tried to capture the ghost or
person in the school building, it has
eluded their efforts, n the affair is as
much a mystery today as ever.
A group of awestricken spectators
We're watching the windows of the
school house one night when the face
appeared plainly visible in the noon
light. Former Policeman Lyman was
in the crowd, and undertook to inVesti-
gate at close range, but when he APP
preached the window the unknown per-
son or thing threw DOWN missiles from
an upper window. This material evil
dence of ghostly malignity was too
much for sons of the crowd, and they
took fight.
The majority remained. however,
backed by the policeman's assurance
that it was some crazy person. When
he ~telephoned for Anderson, of the reg
ular force, it was believed that at last
the ghost would be captured. The po-
llcefnen again approached the entrance
to the building, but this time the ghost
threw down a heavy iron ball and a
barrel of waste paper, narrowly MISS
ing Mr.. Lyman. The crowd strength
ened their guard around the building,
watching every window and door, while
the policemen entered the building and
pursued the spook through the cor
ridors and upstairs. They could not
catch sight of the ghost, but plainly
heard its footsteps.
Nearing the garnet the men We're
dumbfounded to see that a ladder lead
ing up into the garnet had been drawn
up. Positive that the ghost was COR
Hlered at last, one man remained on
guard, with y revolver iii each hand,
while the other obtained another ladder.
officer Anderson then Dol his lantern
in his teeth, q revolver in one hand, and
climbed the ladder into the garret.
There lay the other ladder which had
been drawn up, but not a trace Of the
ghost or person could be seen. The floor
had no hiding places n the skylight
vas fast on the inside. Mr.. Anderson
says he felt his hair rise under his hat
when his scared of the garnet proved
the building was empty. The guard
outside was equally positive that no
person could have escaped.

NOTORIOUS BAD MAN
HAS Been CAPTURED
Joe DeMarche, Wanted fol
RustIing, Bound Over to
Circuit Court.
WAS a CLEVER ARREST
Officers Found 1t Impossible to Locate
Him Until Statutory Limit. Had

Became Too Bold.

Oacoma, S. D, Dec. 30.-The motor
ious Joe DeMarche, for years one Of.
the most noted cattle rustlers living
FWest of WestoVer in Lyman county,
twas bound over to appear at the Jan,
iuary term of court to be held at this
place. A warrant has been out for him,
for years for rustling, but the officers
found it impossible to locate him until
the three years statutory limit had.
expired, when he became more bold
again and Ventured to show himself ast
formerly.
While in this un]suspecting mood he
was arrested by Sheriff Pickett on a..
charge of s~ubOrnatiOn of perjury.
After some difficulty, the state sue,
ceeded in getting Andrew Night Pipe
out of the state penitentiary at Sioux
Fails to testify as the star witness in,
the case.
The case against DeMarche grew out
of the arrest and conviction of Andrew
Night Pipe two years ago last June on,
4 charge of larceny.
Night Pipe has at various times since,
his conviction been telling things out Of,
court and declared he was willing toi
come back to Lyman county and testify
against the parties who were %respon-.
Sible for getting him into trouble.
In order to protect Night Pipe, Mr.
DeMarche is accused of fixing up al
statement for the benefit of witnesses
and to which they hould all swear.
The witnesses testified as told by De-
Marche, as is now alleged, and as a.
result DeMarche finds himself up
against a charge of subornation of per-
Jury. The case created a sensation as
everybody had about concluded that
DeMarche had succeeded in GLIDING
punishment for his alleged misdeedsi
and few believed that States Attorney
Williamson would be able to bind him
bver.
The state, however, had carefully
prepared its side Of the case and put up!
a vigorous fight against a most stub
born opposition by former States At
forney Bartine. 1t promises to be a.
fight royal in the circuit court as it is
learned that Mr.. DeMarche will be de-
tended by three of the ablest lawyers,
in the state.

BIG GRAIN
County West Of Missouri River Shows
New Record,

CCunIy WEST OF MISSOURI hiVeT SHOWS
New Record.
Reliance, S. D., Dec. 30.-A year ago
the wide extent of country between the
Missouri river and the Black Hills, in
the. heart of which this place is sit
uated, did not have a single grain buy
er, the country being occupied almost
wholly by the sheep tlocks and cattle
herds of sheepmen and cattlemen. The
extension of the Milwaukee railroad
westward from Chamberlain through
reliance n on toward the Black Hills,
with the Pacific coast as its ultimate
destination, has changed all this and
farmers are now occupying all of this
vast domain. That the farmers who
settled in the region surrounding Reli-
ance did not waste their time during
the last su1nme is indicated by the
grain shipments which have been made
from this n other points on the new
railroad extension. During this fall a
single grain buyer at this place has
purchased over ID, 600 bushels of grain
from the farmers of this vicinity, for
which he paid a sum aggregating more
than $1,000. Manyfof the farmers kept
their entire seasons crop for seed next
year. The acreage devoted to crops in
this region next year will be the great
est in the history of the country since
the 11,00 900 acres lying between the
Missouri river and the Black Hills was
ceded by the Sioux Indians and opened
to white settlement on February 10,
1890.

CHASED BY WOLVES.
Man Near Holmquist, Unarmed, At

HolmQuist, S. d, jan. 1.-The resi-
dents of this part of Day county were
greatly alarmed when Howard Rasmus
drove hurriedly into town n reported
that while or the DAD some distance
out he had been chased by a pack Of
wolves. Aiming himself with a rifle
land a plentiful supply of ammunition
he left town for the purpos of ami
hilating h alleged pack of wolves.
But no trace Of the animals could be
found. They evidently thought pru-
bdence the better part of yalor and de-
parted for q new field of operations.
Notwithstanding that the wolves have
disappeared, tinid residents of the
country for miles around hardly dare
venture out of doors after dark for fear
of being attacked by the animals,
(which Rasmus represented to be of an
unusually fierce character.

A scientific commission which has
been investigating the peculiaritics OF
the Mediterranean or Malta fever has
come upon evidence which shows that
the infection of the disease may be
transmitted by goats. Dr. Dammit and
Major Horrocks found the specific Or
lganism of the fever in the milk or
goats that were apparently healthy.
The blood or several of the goats gave
a reaction which is peculiar to the
fever. This finding is not only i'm
portant for Malta, but for many other
places within the Mediterranean area,
Gibraltar is one of these where this.
fever is very prevalent, and goats are
almost the only source of the milk sup
ply.
