Findings
l. Concerning the first charge, two
witnesses testified that several years
ago c. w Elliott in a farewell talk,
at the close of a pastorate in Airing
ton, S. d., plead poverty OF his family
with the motive of preying upon the
benevolence of the congregation. One
of the two witnesses was a member
of the Arlington church and the other
was a member of no church
Three other witnesses, members OF
the church, testified that such a plea
with such a motive was not made, but
that G. w. Elliott stated the incOn-
veniences and privatiOns which he
and his family experienced in the
work of Evangelist
In the judgment of the committee
the testimony in no wise sustained
the charge.
=. Concerning the second charge
the testimony developed that G.. w.
Elliott while enGeavOring as an evan
gelist to constitute church at Brook
ings. after he gathered about forty
disciples and after they We're cove
nanted in fellowship and worship,
caused to be printed in a BroOkinSs
paper that there was a church o.!
of Christ in Brookings. The prosecu-
ton alleged that officers had not yet
been elected and for this reason there
was no church there, and further. for
this reason the aforesaid publication
constituted falsehood
In the Judgment of the committee
the prosecution relied upon mere
technicaity. that there was no motive
of deception in the publication and
that the publication was such that any
Evangelist might have justifably
made.
3. Concerning the third charge af-
fidavits of r. K. Miller and l.. Sasse,
both deceased, were submitted in
which both alleged to have had bust
ness dealings with G.. w. Elliott and
that in their judgment he was unfair
and dishonorable. A second affidavit
of r. X. Miller was presented in which
he denied everything in the former
afiidavit. The testimony further de-
veloped that said Sasse had been in
dicted many times for illegal sale of
liquor and that said Elliott was a pro-
motor of the sentiment that indicted
said Sasse. Many affidavits were in
troduced from reputable business men
OF DeSmet alleging an honorable bust
ness character in G. w. Elliott.
AS to the dishonorabe use of the
subscribers of the S. ID. Oracle, it was
alleged by one J. A. Seaton that at a
certain state convention he subscribed
hve dollars to this paper for which he
was not credited.
The testimony developed that in
stead OF subscription to the paper.
said J. A. Seaton had made a sub
scription to a literary fund and that

Yesterday. the midwinter sunshine do
ing good service In removing the slush
from tho streets and sidewalks. The
Sunday morning parade on Franklin
street started out bruvey, leaving
wraps behind but the Lee District
crossings and the sidewalks on Monu-

shorten the walk. Apparently, no Eff

Hky clouded over somewhat, and the
weather continues warm.
The warm. bright day brought out
large congregations at the Richmond
churches yesterday, in spite OF the
slush underfoot. In the nearby conn-
try. however. the roads are almost i'm
passnble, and in many country congrc-
cations tho services have been suspend
ed until the dirt roads dry out.
Rev. James Buchanan. OF the Citizens

which he has been supplying for some

Mr. Buchanan reported that there had
been very few special calls for assist
ance at the association building yes

ton well in hand and had anticipated
all ordinary contingencies. Having the

All the institutions have on their

in mild weather there is constant call
on their resources.
The conditions In Richmond this win

man. woman or child need 40 hungry
as there Is an abundance OF employ

excuse for street begging under pres
