ter would not so. Resort was then
made TO an old statute and a warrant
was issued charging Half with child
dcsertlon.
District Attorney Jerome sent a glad
lator in the person of Detective Charles

Sheriff Jones, acted quickly, had things
arranged to spirit Half away to fore

fight were incidents of the mixup. This
delay has permitted Haff's counsel to
apply for a writ of habeas corpus to
take the prisoner away from the New

CHURCH MERGER
IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Baptists and Presbyterians
Unite for a Six-Months' Pro-

Suggestion Prompted BY Neoessit
Growing Out of the Death OF
the Presbyterian Pastor
A Novel Plan.

Aberdeen, S. D., Dec. ga merger
of the Baptist and Presbyterian
churches has been effected here. 1t was
agreed to try it for six months and
if successful 1t will become a permanent
arrangement.
The Presbyterians nave been without
a pastor since the death of DR.. j. w.
Campbell, but in spite of this fact, ser
vices have been held every Sunday,
with a pastor from some other church
invited to fill the pulpit. At these SER
vices unity of thought n feeling has
been manifest, and it needed only thu
suggestion of G.. NJ. l.. Erwin, an ELDER
OF the Presbyterian church. to awake
the congregation to the possibility n
the ~desirability of uniting two church,
es. This suggestion Elder Erwin made
to Rev. c. f. Bronson, pastor of thu
Baptist church, after hearing DR.. Bron-
son speak at one OF his services.
Idea Declared a Good One.
The minister agreed hat it would be
a good plan If the congregations could
come to such an agreement. Meetings
were held by the trustees of both
and the matter submitted 20
The two congregations last night. Both
congregations were found to be unani-
mously In favor of il. Then, led by
Rev. Bronson, the Baptist congregation
to the Presbyterian church, where
q union service was held, and the Wis.
itors were welcomed by the latter
church members singing Onward
Christian Soldiers" Rev. c. f. Bron-
son was then unanimously requested to
take charge of the entire flock.
The first service under the new ar
rangement will be held at the Presby-
terrain church on January 6, at which
church all future services will be held.
