Iankton, S. D., June IA bad fire at 2
o'clock this morning destroyed the big
livery barn of w. r.. Van Epps, seven
horses and q dozen or more vehicles.
For an hour the whole town was threat
ened, as the sparks from the large build
ing, were carried by a stiff breeze all over
the business and northwest section Of the
city. Third street was impossible from
the live cinders and the town looked
doomed. The vino went down most fortu-
nately and the hrcmcn managed to save
the big lumberyard of the Loonan Lum-
Der company, which was situated only ten
feet away from the burning barn. Many
residents fled, believing their homes on
fire in the dense smoke. The Loonan barn
was also destroyed and a big cordwood
pile. The loss will reach only $4,000 for the
most part covered by insurance. Had the
lumber yard caught fire it would have
burned its way through town with no
way to stop it. The Great Northern de-
pot was badly scorched and was on fire
several times, being saved with difficulty.

EDITOR SALLETT GETS
A DAKOTA DIVORCE
Yankton Treated to a Sensation on Ac.
count Of Separation of Well

Yankton, s, D., June 7.-One of the big
rest sensations Yankton has had for some
years developed here yesterday when it
was learned that L. w. Sallett, until re-
Gently editor and owner of the Freie
Prcsse, had just obtained a divorce in
Sioux Falls from his wife, for whom he
has just purchased a handsome home in
Indianapolis, and where she is now living
with her four children.
Mr.. Sallett a month ago sod his paper
to a stock company composed of w c.
Gu5n, Herman tIllerman, John Holman
and Gustav kositzky. Domestic relations
were not Of the best in the Sallett home,
1t Is understood for the first time here, and
the divorce resulted from some long
standing troubles antedating the arrival
of the family in Yankton.
Rumor has it that Mr.. Sallett may re-
main in Yankton and will marry a young
lady who was in his employ as bookkeep-
er. The whole affair was received with
surprise and incredulity at first, so well
had the family kept it's skeleton concealed.

Nermillion, S. D.. June 11.-For a time
last night, about the midnight hour, it
was feared that three pretty co-eds
of East Hall and their gentlemen es-
corts had gone down to a Watery grave.
The six students chartered a launch
yesterday afteTnoOli and started down
the NerniliOn river on a picnic. After
going several miles the proposition of
running out into the Missouri river vas
suggested. But just as they We're leav-
ing the Nermillion river the launch ran
abreast Of q large seine. In breaking
away from the net the boats propeller
was put out of business, thus rendering
the young men poWerless to manage it.
The launch drifted down out in to the
Missouri river, and not until it had gone
down stream several miles was a land
ing effected. The young ladies and their
escorts started to walk hOrne-a dis
.ance of nearly ten miles. It was rather
slow work, but they finally arrived back
In the city az 5 o'clock q. IN.
Friends of the young people who were
keeping tab on them became alarmed
about midnight, and after talking the
matter ver decided that they would
wait a little While longer before inform
ing anyone. Another hour went hur-
riedly by, and then President Droppers
was notified. A searching party was
organized and was about to charter an
oliiar launch and go in search of the
missing when h party of six came
along on foot.
