LEMONADE CAUSES TYPHOID.
Epidemic Feared in the Northern Part
of the State.

Ipswich, s.. D., July 19.-An epidemic
of typhoid fever may prove to be the
aftermath of the recent Milwaukee ex-
cursion to Evarts. Ten of the excur-
sionists from this place are down with
the disease, while reports from other
towns along the line swell the number
of fever patients to 100, with probably
as many more from more distant points
and from the country districts which
contributed victims for the excursion.
An investigation has disclosed the
fact that the lemonade which was dis
pensed al Evarts by the barrel on the
day of the excursion was made from
water taken from an old well that had
not been used in years.
Nc arrests have yet been made, but IL
any deaths follow, the authorities in
this county, at least, are determined
TO demand the prosecution of the Of
tenders.

TRAMPs HELD FOR MURDER.
Two Men, Each Accusing the Other,
CHARGED With Crime at Mitchell.

Mitchell. s. D., July 21.-Police Justice
Herbert. after hearing the testimony this
afternoon Of the principle witnesses of the
shooting OF the cripple IN the
stock yards in this city Monday night,
ordered that H.. T. williams and Herman
Edward vey, alias Dutch" and Jack"
charged with numbering the unfortunate
man, be held to the November term OF cir
cult court without bail. Williams claimed
his home to be at Los Angeles while Vey
stated his to be at st. Joseph, Mo-, but 1T
is improbable that they gave their correct
residence.
In separate written statements fromeach
OF the accused parties they admit the
shooting, but each lays the crime or the
other. The three principal witnesses for
the state. C. w. Burke. Victor Pulitzer anc
w. f.. Barnes. were also held in bonds OF
$1,000 each as witnesses. which. 1t Is said.
they will not be able to furnish, and con-
sequently will have to lay out the time be-
tween now and the first of November III
jail.
When the prisoners were first brought to
Mitchell from Fulton yesterday afternoon
and put through a very severe cross-ex-
animation by State Attorney %Spangler
they denied all knowledge or connection
with the affair. but Vey finally weakened
and made a clean breast OF the whole af-
fair, but charged Williams with doing the
shooting.
Williams refused to talk until this morn
ing when he expressed a desire to make a
statement to State Attorney Spangler, in
which ne charged Vey with the shooting.
and gave a statement OF the incident
which differed somewhat from hat given
by yey.
Victor Putzer, one OF the parties who
has given the most damaging testimony
to the defendants. has proven to be a
star witness. and testlhes that he saw the
shooting from a distance IN the twilight
and says vey fired the revolver. although
he was encouraged by Williams in killing
the cripple.
