a dance at Pukwana. Sysinger began
circulating bad stories about the young

Attorney Wall, to kimball Tuesday

When Sysinger found that he could
not gain access to the hotel he sought
the aid Of his wife also. but both were
refused, Whereupon Sysinger went to
the passenger train, ostensibly for the
purpose of going to Chamberlain to Sc
