Sioux Falls Press: The arrest OF
Banker King, now confined in the
county Jail in this city, has stirred
memories OF senastion in which the
banker was concerned about three
years ago and which had almost been
forgotten. 1t seems that the banker IS
wife entered the Scotland institution
one afternoon, extracted some f3, SOC
flom the safe, and took the first train
out of town. Later the husband dis.
covered the missing money and the
missing wife at about the same time,
and telephoned down the road to Elk
Point, where officers boarded the train
when it arrived and placed Mrs. King
under arrest. The money was found in
her possession in q hand bag and was
restored to the banker and Mrs. King
was taken back to Scotland. 1t devel-
oped that che had wanted to travel
more than her husband would permit,
and chatting under the restraint she had
taken the money and started out to see
the world, with the intention of going
abroad. After this had blown over,
Mr.. and Mrs. King continued to live
together in apparent harmony, and the
incident had almost been forgotten.
MIS- King is now with her parents in
Dixon, ILL.,, having with her the four
year-old child. Another child aged six,
is Ia Scotland with Mr.. Kings father.

SO anxious to drink before breakfast
that they had to wait their turn to be

strange that these men should want to
drink. The cooking in their homes Is
so vile that these poor, wretched fell
lows have to drink. They are so ex-
hausted with the battle of life that
they have to do something, however
foolish, however mistaken, to keep up
their bodies for fresh exertion. Thus
they create a predisposition to tuber-

their poorer sisters to cook they would
be doing much to prevent tuberculo-

DR.. Huber also spoke of the dread
full cooking" Of the rural districts as
cause of tuberculosis there. although
other conditions are unfavOrable to the
development of the disease.
Speaking of the fear of the consump-
tive that has become so common of
late years, DR.. Huber said 1t was very
cruel, un-Christianlike and unneccssa-
ry, there being no danger of infection
so long as few simple rules are OBJ

PRAIRIE DOGS.
English Lords Would Plant
Western Rodent for Hunt
Purposes.

Huron, April 27 Securing contract
from English lords, holding estates in
Ireland, for 1000 prairie dogs to take
the place of the exterminated rabbits
and hares for sporting purposes, Mrs
Nellie Madden of Waukon, Wis, re-
fuses to place any valuation upon her
land situated four miles north of Huron
and has taken it from the market
The land is overrun with prairie dogs,
which have made it wholly unfit for
farming or grazing purposes, and has
always been considered practically val
ueless
Much money has been spent in vain
in the attempt to rid the county of the
little beasts, and the prospect of their
expectation will therefore be hailed
with delight by the farmers of the vi
cinity. How the dogs will be captured
for shipnent is as yet a problem, but
this will doubtless be accomplished by
means of a net, for when one becomes
entangled it's loyal brothers rush to it's
assistance and become themselves
caught in the meshes

cally worthless still c. c. Issenhuth. a
real estate dealer of this city, wished to
list it for sale. and to that end wrote
the owner, receviign the following let
ter today in reply:
"Will say, that my land north of
Huron is not for sale. have never
seen this land. but understand there is

Evidently the foreigners are expect
ing certain species of dog ABOUT the
size of an ordinary canine, and as the
'prairie" naturally implies wild they
are anticipating rare sport in running
down these willy natives of the western
plains. The ordinary prairie dog is
about as large as an overgrown rat,
and as they live in towns where the
holes are as thick as in a clibbage
board and all connected by under
ground passages, the dogs seldom got
more than Elk or eight feet from shell
ter. They are saucy but very imid.
1t is hard to shoot them, as they sit di-
rectly over the mouth of the hole and
when wounded will drop back into it,
or failing to fall entirely out of sight,
the other dogs will drag the unfortun-
ate one to safety. There is simply no sport
in shooting them, and they are with
out doubt the worst pest that has ever.

ticular piece of land.

SHOW OF FORCE NECESSARY
Steps Taken to Suppress DisloyaIty In
India.

lnuia.
Lahore, British India, April 90
Rifles and twenty rounds of ball cart
ridges have been served out to the
local volunteers In consequence of
signs of marked unrest among the
Hindoo student elements. The pub
lication of inflammatory and seditious
articles In the native newspapers, In
citing race hatred against the Euro
peans and demanding native control
OF the government of India by means
Of an elected parliament, has been
followed recently by riots at Lahore
and elsewhere in the Punjab and by
attacks on Europeans. Professional
and political agitators are now foment-
ing strikes on the railroads and the
government has concluded that It is
time to suppress the rioting by force
full means If necessary. The authori-
front will speedily end the outward
signs of disaffection, especially as
they have the unanimous support of
the great Mohammedan population,
who at numerous mass meetings have
emphatically condemned the anti
European movement. Recent events
have given a remarkable impulse to
enlistment In the volunteers. The re-
cruits include five judges of the SUI
preme court, the directors of public
instruction, university professors, high
government officials and leading bank
ers and merchants, all Of whom have
entered the ranks of the privates.

SELLING STEAMERS To
AVOID PAYING DAMAGES
Attorney Costello Declares
Company Anticipates
Adverse Verdict
CAPITAL is REDUCED
If Judgment Is Recovered in
Mitchell Suit Collection
Is Difficult
CAPITAL is REDUCED

For the purpose of evading the pay.
ment of Judgment in case the $4,000
damage suit now pending in the Su-
perior Court should be adverse to its
interests. the California and Oregon
Coast Steamship Company has disposed
of the greater portion of it's property,
according to a charge made yesterday
by Attorney Stephen Costello.
Costello is the attorney in the suit
brought. by James Mitchell to recover
$4,000 from the California and Oregon
Coast Steamship Company for the
death of his son in the explosion which
took place on the steamer Dispatch on
December s, 1905, and he declares that
in case his client RECEIVERS Judgment
against the company he will at once
bring action TO collect by other means
should the defendant company en-
deavor to avoid payment, as he be-
lieves it will. -
According to Costello, the company
has now but one of it's fleet of vessels
left, having disposed of all the re-
mainder. He declares that the Dis
patch, the steamer on which the fatal
explosion occurred, was sold to the
Pacific Coast Lumber Company on De-
cember of last year. just exactly one
year from the date of the explosion.
and that the Aberdeen was sold to the
same company on November and the
TIeHlisS w DeCelnpsl 81 ne diso
says that the Hobbs. Wall Company
purchased the Navarro on October %,
F. Luderman the Gualala on October
4 and Robert Tyson the Fulton during
October.
Costello says that these sales have
all been made since the Mitchell suit
has been pending and that the Nome
City is now the only property in the
possession of the company. He charges
that the capital stock of the company
has been reduced from 100000 to s50.-
900 for the same purpose and that
the funds derived from the sales have
been distributed among. the stockhold-
ers of the company. so that the COM
pany actually. has at the present time
only $4,000 or $4,000 worth of prop
erty.
