Billy held it as almost a certainty
that this was note which had been
dropped by the man who had been
hurt. Probably it had been dislodged
from his pocket when he fell and had
remained caught in his clothing while
he dragged himself to the curb. So far
as Billy could Judge, it was precisely
in the right spot to fit this hypothesis.
He put the note into his pocket and
the next moment had forgotten it. & s
Sundays papers contained no men
ton of the accident to Mr.. Mousoud.
The city directory did not contain his
name. In Monday mornings papers
Billy placed small advertisement
among the "Lost and Found" but
there was no response. AL inquiries

of the vehicle had been opened got in
unassisted. Cabby mounted to the box
and drove away.
It was only few blocks from that
spot to Dorothy's house. At the door
she said, "You have my purse, Billy"
But alas, he hadn't it.
'Never mind" said she cheerily.
'"There was next to nothing in it. Good
night" IS.
Billy said "Good night" and walked
down the street
II must have dropped it where that
fellow was hurt" said he to himself,
and the recollection that the purse was
gray, the tint of asphalt paving, gave
him absurd encouragement. So he re-
turned to the scene Of the accident,
praying for a miracle, but he did not
find the purse. Instead, he found a
sealed envelope, set up against the
curb as if by design and most excel
lently placed to avoid observation.
There was nothing either printed or
written upon the envelope except this:

l&adoka Tragedy

Tuesday morning. w. +. Law
renee, kadol<a liveryman. killed
his housekeeper. and then, turning
his revolver upon himself COM
mittel suicide
Back of the tragedy is story
dramatic with human passion. \
tale of a cultured Southern wom-
al> who came to South Dakota for
the purpose of securing a divorce:
who became the housekccpcr of
prosperous business man, we'll
nigh old enough to be her grand
father: who became the object of
her employers love, and accented
the presents and money he lavish
ed upon her; who finally refused
to marry her suitor and fell in
love with another: and who met
death at the hand Of the man she
rejected. Moreover it is the tale
Of a man who in jealous rage kills
the woman he loves when he finds
her slipping away from him for
ever, and then takes his own life.
Both victims of the tragedy
were we'll known here. The
woman had kept house for Law
renee for over a year. Recently
she announced her intention to re-
turn South and marry the man
she really loved. This brought
trouble. Lawrence threatened her
life, and she sought the protection
of an officer.
Tuesday morning as the woman
was on her way to the train, Law
renee met her, shot her twice, took
hold of her arm, fired again, and,
turning the weapon, killed him
self, falling forward across the
dead body Of the woman.
Lawrence leaves several grown
children older than the woman
he killed-and she leaves two chill
dren and her mother, who at the
present time reside on Il claim
near Kadoka.

The editor of the Quinn Courant

cuse for the Quinn ball team in the
following manner and form: The
ball boys played in hard luck at
the Philip Carnival. The game
with Philip Tuesday was called 5
tie but our boys feel that with
proper decisions by the umpire
they would have had the galte.
Wednesday was warm and natural
ly the boys drank a great deal Of
water, which made them all sick.
Thursday both of their pitchers
were disabled and all of the rest
of the boys we're suffering from
the effects OF the water and were
in no condition to play. The
result was that they were slaugh-
tered SO badly that the game was
called off at the close of the fifth
inning. Aside from the rank
decisions of Umpire Hess, the
boys have no complaint. They
expect to have a game with Philip
here soon, when they expect to
make better showing"

Gardening Suggestions.

The main cabbage crop may be trans
planted during June or July, and a
crop of millet or Hungarian grass may
be put IN if desired. In some sec
tons the sweet potato crop does not
get fully transplanted before June.
Carrots, beets and parsnips should
always be put in the ground early, yet
it is not too late to make good crops
of them In June, provided rain falls
during the time the seed is In. The
turnip crop is one of the most import
ant, and the putting in of the seed may
be deferred until any time after a
good rain, but farmers must prepare
their lands well for late crops, espe-
clally If the seeds are fine or Of a
kind that does not terminate quickly.
Good preparation is one of the essen
tias to good growth and capacity to
Withstand drought.

Handy Barn Device.

The illustration shows a device for
hay box, which should be in every
stable. This box may be made of any
dimensions desired and reaches from
the loft to just above the manger in
the stall below, placing it at height
so that the horse can get at the hay
readily. AS shown in the cut the box
should be wider at the bottom than
at the top to prevent the hay from
lodging. The open space below should
be fitted with two or more light iron
bars to prevent the animal from pulling
out too much of the hay at a time
and wasting it.
In the lower part of the drawing is
shown the Slated bottom, which is
used in this box SO that the chaff and
dust may sift through. The top of the
box, in the loft, should be covered
with a heavy Slated arrangement for
the purpose of ventilation. It should
be made of Stats sufficiently heavy to
bear the weight Of q man If he should
step on it accidentally, and he hinged
