RUSSIAN PRINCE
AFTER DIVORCE?
Served in Late War on Personal
Staff Of General kuro-
patkin.

Watertown, 8. D., May 27.-rWater-
town Is entertaining a Russian noble
man. Prince Alexander l.. +. Koslovskoy
who this morning renounced his royal
title and all allegiance to Czar Nicholas
and took out declaration papers prepar.
atory to becoming citizen OF the
United States.
Mr.. Koslov, as his name will be In
English, Is a graduate of the national
military school of Russia, and has been
in the army all his life. He is now but
"a years old, but at the time of his leav-
ing Russia was captain of the great
general staff and saw service through
the whole of the Russian-Japanese war
as personal aid of General Kuropatkin.
Trouble With Grand Duke.
Returning from the war he was
drawn into a personal encounter with
one of the grand dukes and had to fee
the country, landing in New York with
only $4,000 saved from his ancestral do
main. .
The ex-prince has striking person
ality, and his splendid education, wide
experience and travel make him an in
teresting conversationalist. His plans
for the future are not very definite ex-
cept as to his determination to cast his
lot with the American people and start
his career again, perhaps In South Da-
kota.
AS is the inevitable in South Dakota,
gossip has already said the prince was
here for divorce, but there are no tam
gible evidences yet that that is his mis-
sion here.

GIRL WINS DOUBLE
EAGLE And BOGUS
HUSBAND AT ONCE
Maggie Bernard Wed Romec
Williams as Result of Bet---
Now Divorced.

Deadwood. 8. D.. May 2S.--Judge w.
@. Rice, OF the state court, has just
annulled a marriage which was con-
tracted as the result OF a bet.
The principals in the unique wedding
were Romeo williams and Miss Mag
gle Bernard, both residents OF this city.
The marriage took place on the night
Of January 81 last. .
Williams and several friends were
discussing with Miss Bernard and
some Of her friends the subject Of mar
rtage. Williams made the remark that
the girl was not game to get mar
ried." Williams offered to bet $40 the
girl would not marry him. She ac-
cepted. The stakes were placed in re-
sponsible hands and a justice Of the
peace summoned, who made williams
and the girl man and Wife, and the
stake money was used to defray a part
Of the expenses OF the wedding cele-
bration, in which q number OF the
friends of both parties participated.
Williams absolutely refused to live
with his bride, and the wife in name
only finally had to resort to the divorce
court to free her from her bonds, She
claimed she had suffered great mental
anguish by reason OF her Romeo's re-
Cusal to live with her; that her nerves
were completely shattered, and further
more, that the defendant wholly neg
lected to contribute to her support.
compelling her to rely upon friends in
her hour OF need.

MUST WAIT UNTIL FIANCE
COMPLETES PRISON SENTENCE

Pierre, s. D.. May 2S.-Miss Mantle
Hall, of Atkinson, Neb.. left this city
for her Nebraska home, disappointed In
the hope that she would soon be able
to wed the man Of her choice, Roscoe
Moore. Her hope was shattered by the
refusal Of the state pardon board to do
anything toward shortening the SEN
tence which Moore Is serving in the
state penitentiary on a larceny charge.
II appears that Moore Is q Texan,
who drifted into the north country,
landing at Atkinson, where he stayed
for a time and won the affections Of
Miss Hall, resulting In their engage
ment. But before the marriage bells
could ring Moore went to Butte county,
where he was accused Of larceny Of the
class which prevails In the range coun-
try, evidently feeling that he needed
the money which live stock properly
disposed Of would bring him, and the
court in November, 1904. sent him to
Sioux Falls for term of three and a
haR years. OF that time he has served
two and a half years, with less than
another year to run in case he Is
granted any good time. During this
time his Atkinson sweetheart has stood
by hun, and one Of the reasons given
Tor asking the pardon was their desire
to wed and settle down. But the par
don board was not satisfied that this
was sufficient reason for clemency and
has refused to take any action IN the
case.

PASSED OLD GEORGIA
CURRENCY; GO TO PRISON

Redfeld, s. D., May 27.-In the cir
cult court James Morris and Charles
Decker were each sent to the peniten.
ttary for one year on conviction OF
obtaining money under false pretenses
The crime consisted of passing old state
of Georgia currency, issued in 1850. BY
pressing two bills together they were
made to resemble very closely the ma"
tional bank notes of the present day.
1t was ascertained that other parties
were furnishing these bills to be passed,
but sufficient evidence could not be OBJ
tained to warrant an arrest.
Leo Archer was sentenced to one
year, having been convicted Of criminal
assault. Archer was employed by w.
E. Linenfelter, who was drawn on the
Jury for this term of court, and the
assault was an attempt on Mrs. Linen
felter during her husbands absence at
court.
Edward Gorden and John Will
liams were sentenced to fifteen
months each on the charge of grand
larceny.

LIFE PRISONER SAWS
BARS AND ESCAPES

Sioux Falls, s. D., May 29.-Ed Will
son, a life prisoner. escaped from the
penitentiary here last night by saving
the bars. using a blanket to let him
self to the prison wall, and from there
he used a rope to get outside.
Wilson has been in the hospital ward
for ten months, suffering from rheuma-
tism, and it is not thought he IS in con-
dition to get very far. He has. how
ever, told the guards from time to
time that II he ever got away they
would never take him alive.
How he secured the materials and
time, unobserved, in the hospital ward
to saw the bars is a mystery. The
nurse is @ "trusty,"' but denies all
knowledge of the means of escape.
Wilson has served fourteen years for
the murder OF a man named King in
Moody county. The men were members
from little spree in town when Wilson
wrench and robbed him OF $65. Next
day he appeared and tried to collect
Kings wages and was arrested. "A
change of venue was taken to Lincoln
county and conviction resulted in life
sentence. Several attempts have been
made to secure pardon for Wilson,
but the Moody county people have pro-
tested SO vigorously against such action
that no pardon was ever issued. Will
son is considered a desperate man.
That he had aid in getting away is GER
tain, and he is expected to be found
fully armed for a fight, If he is ever
oYertaken.

TEN DAYS FROM
CRIME TO A CELL
IN STATE PRISON
Justice Gives Short Shrift to
Leo Archer in South
Dakota.

Sioux Falls, S. D., May 29.--Leo
Archer, aged 95, who has just been
lodged in the Sioux Falls penlteniiaTy
to serve one year for attempted Grim
inal assault committed in Sphinx coun-
ty, has reason to know that justice oc-
casionally moves with unusual swift,
ness.
Archer's attempted crime was COM
mitted on Wednesday, May 10. He then
stole a horse and attempted to make
his way out of the country, but was
overhauled in Hand county. This was
on Friday of the same week of the as
sault. The following day, Saturday, he
was taken to Redfeld, the county seat,
and that same evening had his prelim-
mary examination and was held for APP
pearance in the state circuit court,
which at the time was in session.
He was arraigned on Monday OF last
week and entered plea of not guilty.
His trial commenced on Tuesday, and
on Wednesday the jury returned a ver-
dict of guilty. On Thursday Judge
Whiting passed sentence,
Archer is comparative stranger in
South Dakota, and only few days be-
fore getting into trouble was en-
ployed by w. Z. Lienfelter, a Sphinx
county farmer. Lienfelter was drawn
as a juror to serve during the term of
court at which Archer was a few days
later tried and convicted, and had ar
ranged with Archer to look after his
farm during the time he was on jury
duty. '
Three days after Lienfelter's depart
ure for Redfeld to enter upon his du-
ties as a juror, Archer attempted to
assault Mrs. Lienfelter. She fought
fercely and managed to escape from
her assailant, taking refuge at the home
Of a neighbor. Archer then attempted
10 make his escape from the country,

Alexander Fraser. OF Lead, ID one Of
the most interesting figures in the
grand lodge meeting of the workmen.
He Is an engineer for the famous

esting facts in his report. Within the

$4,000. Among the recommendation
of Grand Master Simmons is one sug'
gesting that steps be Immediately taken
to provide a Workmen's rural home fol

der and to this end asked that pro-
visions be made for the purchase OF
a section of land centrally located and
easy of access from all parts OF the

indicates shall be established. He also
urges that the premium fee for new
members be abolished and that tho
charter fee be reduced from $25 ia
$40 and believes IL said reduction il
made, 1t will result in greatly increas'
ing the number Of lodges; that the
certificate fee Of 81 now charged mem,
bers, be abolished. Another important
recommendation is that the grand lodgi
commence at once to create q reserve
fund, contending that under the pres
ent plan OF assessment and that bi
centralizing the various funds Of thu
order and Investing the same in Soutl
Dakota real estate mortgages, that
reserve fund of at least 100000 cal

The Klondike country proper-that is,
that portion of the Yukon territory in
the vicinity of Dawson--as far as the
individual miner Is concerned, is on a
rapid decline owing to the immense
area OF ground being acquired by

and Hunller and has bonded consider
ably more on Dominion and other
creeks. This has practically depop-
