TRIAL BEGINS.
jury Completed, Indictment
Read and Witnesses Called
in Kaufman Case.

Flandreau, June Sat last the real
trial of Emma Kaufman of Sioux
Falls on the charge of the murder OF
Agnes Polreis, sixteen year old Hun
garian domestic, in Sioux Falls on
June 1st, 1906, has begun
| At O'Clock this afternoon, when
Judge Smith went in the atmosphere
of the court room was ominously busi
ness like 1t was understood that the
counsel in the case were satisfied with
the jury as it stood, and all looked
unmistkably grave.
lowed Lawyer Egan arose to read the
complaint of the state against Mrs.
Emma Kaufman and to read his open
| ing address. AS he began reading it
was apparent the PaIkston people who
had retained him knew why they had
asked him to act as their advocate in
this important case.
Every word of his indictment came
full, crisp and clear from the lips of
this orator The spectators and all In
the court room hung on the words and
the manner of their deliverance. 1t
was impressive-an eloquent statement
made out of the regular stereotyped
form of indictments.
During this powerful arraignment by
Counselor Egan, in which he repeat
edly pointed his finger directly toward
the defendant as he portrayed in most
vivid lang uage the awful circun-
stances, acts and conditions with which
the state expects to surround her and
finally send to the eallows or the peni-
tentiary, Mrs. Kaufman writhed in
her chair. She worked nervously for
ward to its very edge.
A. A. Snashall, the funeral director
and emblamer of Sioux Falls, was the
first witness. He described going to
the Kaufman house and taking Agnes
Polreis to the Sioux Falls hospital, and
going back to the hospital again the
same day after the girls body. Wit
ness described the embalming and ex-
humation of the body on June sth.
Miss jeanette E. Larson, superinten-
dent of the Sioux Falls hospital; Miss
A. M. Thornberg, head nurse In 1905,
and Miss Fayola Coures, nurse, de-
scribed the terrible wounds on the girl
her appearance, and what she said In
German. Miss Larson testified that the
girl said, my head aches, my stomach
aches-I ache all over. The nurses
also testified that the girl was In a ter
ribly helpless condition. Miss Thorn
berg said what surprised her most was
the clothing the girl wore, referring to
her being in mans old outing night
shirt. The girl was badly emaciated.
In the course of their examination
the nurses told how when the hair was
cut from the head of the girl it was
found to be matted with blood from
six scalp wounds The largest of these
was about a half inch in length. The
testimony of Miss Larson was consid-
e1able elaboration of that given at the
preliminary hearing,

CONFIDENCE MAN.
Neatly Trapped by Madison
Ladies on Train in
Nebraska.

Mrs. VIM. Fintzel and Misses Maud
and Hortense Lewis who left Madison
about ten days ago for Stratton, Col. -,
to live on government land claims In
Kit Carson county. caught confidence
man on the train red handed and had
him arrested at Lincoln. Neb The
ladies demonstrated that they are
shrewd enough to travel anywhere on
earth and not only take care Of them
selves but protect unsophisticated fell
low travellers as we'll.
On their travels through Nebraska an
old man sat next seat to them. A
young man came into the car and ask
ed the privilege of sitting in the same
seat with the elderly gentlemen. The
older man was going to Nelson, Neb.
The younger man said he was going
there also and became very friendly
with the old man. Miss Lewis called
Mrs Fintzel s attention to the conver-
sation. As the train was nearing Lin
coin the younger man asked the elder
to give him Thirty dollars on check,
which he reluctantly did. At Lincoln
the young man said he would 60 out
into the other coach and get his bag
gage AS he left the coach Miss Lewis
and Mrs Fintzel followed him out to
the platform and while one kept him
under surveillance the other told a
man who called q railroad detective
and as the thief was boarding a street
car he was arrested When the train
got to the next station the ladies were
interviewed, their names and addresses
taken by the Rock Island officials and
they expect to be called to Lincoln
within the next thirty days to testify
against the confidence man.
Mrs Fintzel is native boin Lake
county lady and Misses Lewis have
for several years been teachers in the

COUNTRY ROADS.
Defeat of Good Road Law May
Cause Serious Incon-
venience.

Aberdeen, June s. When the good
roads bill was up in the last legislative
session, the opposition which killed it
came from the counties in the southern
and eastern part of the state The
members from the northern and west
ern part generally supported the meas
ure, but were outvoted by the larger
membership in the part of the state
which opposed any such. law. Now it
is proposed by the government to send
a road inspector out over the rural
lines, and to discontinue free delivery
over lines in which the roads are not
in shape to give good service. There
are but few rural delivery lines in the
northern and western part of the state,
but some Of the counties in the south
ern and eastern part are so closely COW
cred by these routes that practically
every resident of the county gets mail
delivered at his door. If any of these
lines are cut off on account Of bad
roads, the residents can thank their
legislative members of last winter for
using their votes to continue the old
slip-shod method of woodworking, in
stead of the adoption of the better
method which is beginning to prevail
throughout the eastern states.

SPOTTED FEVER.
Epedemic at Armour Much
Alarm Among the
People.

Armour, June San epidemic of
cerebrospinal meningitis, which has
caused four deaths since last Saturday,
has struck terror to the hearts of the
residents OF Armour Many people
have moved away temporarily, and
some merchants are preparing to close
up their places of business and depart
for mole healthful climes.
Physicians of Armour, who had not
been certain as to the nature of the dis
ease, yesterday called into consultation
DR.. Van Buren Knott, of Sioux City.
After investigating some cases and
performing an autopsy upon the body
of one of the victims DR.. Knott has no
hesitation in pronouncing the disease
to be cerebrospinal meningitis.
Eight cases OF the malady, some of
them Of milder form, exist in the
town. Acute attacks have been fol-
lowed within a period of twenty four
to forty eight hours by either death or
a speedy recovery. When the disease
beomes chronic ii may endure for
weeks, the outcome depending upon
the physical condition of the sufferer.
The peculiar nature OF the infection,
which makes the disease battling to the
medi cal profession, is the fact that it
inheres in the locality. and proximity
to or contact with the sick does not
seem to increase exposure. That is
why the citizens of Armour do not feel
safe within its borders while the germs
are in the air
Spotted fever, as the disease some
times is known, was epidemic In
Sioux City some thirty years ago, caus-
ing a number of deaths and a great
deal of alarm.

SATURDAY, MARCH e

The attraction offered by Profess
sor Warner at Carr EFT opera house
Saturday evening comes heralded as
being without exception the highest
priced and most artistic cornbina-
ton ever offered by any entertain
ment bureau. Marc, himself, is
without a peer in his particular
field, and is able to entertain alone
an audience. The following plo-
gram will give an idea of the YER
satility of his genius:

wilderment and humorous situations

Part IL. "'Maro as Musician,
Artist and Shadowgraphist." 1t is
during this part of the program,
probably, that Marc illustrates most
\ forcibly his wonderful versatility
first by introducing various musical
instruments, including "Maro's
Great Saxophone Quartette" and
an cart Seance, during which
Marc, with a few bold strokes of
color, draws and paints large and
realistic pictures of the impression
istic school. "Gogglepeg, con-
ceded by all to be the most volum-
inous toned stringed instrument
in the world, is introduced.
Part Ill Maro's very latest sem
sation, Magic of the Orient. "
During this part of the program
Marc will don the costume of the
ancient sorcerers or high priests of
India, and give a most realistic
and wonderful exhibition of mag
ic, as performed by the famed fax
irs of India. His entire company
will assist by introducing music of
the Orient, produced with genuine
East Indian musical instruments,
making altogether a most weird
and fascinating performance.

in bed, but apparently not very i'll.
The physician left the house, but
had not proceeded more than a
