EASY FOR MoRPHY.
Story of the Great Chess Master anG
Celebrated Painting.

Paul Morphy, on his visit to Phila-
ielphia, was the guest Of clergyman,
the Rev. Mr.. III. On his arrival at the
minister's home the chess master was
drst ushered into the library, and his
attention was at once attracted by I
painting over the mantel, which was
4 fine copy Of a celebrated painting rep
resenting a game of chess between G
young man and the devil, the stake
being the young mans soul.
The artist had most graphically de
picted the point in the game where it
was apparently the young mans move,
and he seemed just to realize the fact
that he had lost the game, the agony OF
despair being shown in every line of
his features and attitude, while the
devil from the opposite side Of the table
gloated over him with fiendish delight
The position Of the game appeared ut.
terly hopeless for the young man, and
Mr. Fl. said he had often set 1t up and
studied II with his chess friends, and
all agreed the young mans game was
certainly lost.
Mr.. Nsrphy walked up to the picture
ard studied 1t for several minutes,
when finally, turning to Mr.. H., he
said:
~ aA win the game fer the ysung
man"
Mr.. Fl. was Of course astonished and
said, "Is It possibleT'
!. Mr.. Merphy replied, sect cut the
nen and board and let as look at it."
The position was set up, and in a
few Yapid moves he demonstrated a
sSHIfste win for the young man, and
dke aevil was eheekmated.

MRS. O'GRADY BACK TO JAIL.
Bondsmcn for the Alleged Murleress
Withdraw

The latest sensation in connection
with the case Of Mrs. Julia Anna
O'Grady. who a few days ago was held
for appearance in the stase court on
the charge of having fired the shot
which killed her husband, John
O'Grady. a pioneer resident of near
Sioux Falls, is the surrender of the
defendant by the three Sioux Falls
men who had furnished her bond in
the sum of $500.
The MEL who a day or two ago sign
ed her bond were MOritz Lcvinger, eX-
Mayor George w. Burnside and j. II.
Toohey. She had been released and
returned to the O'Grady home with
the intention of remaining there pend
ing her trial the latter part of NOvem-
ber. The action of the bondSmen in
withdrawing from her bond was pre-
cipitated when papers were filed in the
office of the register Of deeds convey
ing to Attorney Geo. w. Egan, of
Logan, Iowa. the O'Grady farm. and
bills Of sale covering all the OGrady
personal property.
It appears that Mrs. O'Grady dis
charged the Sioux Falls attorneys
whose services she engaged soon after
khe tragic death Of her husband, and
who represented her at the Coroner's
Inquest and at her preliminary hear
ing.

THIS INDIAN is UP-TO-DATE.
Isaac Buffalo Files Bankruptcy Peti-
ton in Federal Court.

For the first time in the history of
the United States court for the Sioux
Falls division of South Dakota, so far
as can be remembered, an Indian has
presented to the court a petition in
voluntary bankruptcy.
The Indian who enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the first of his race to
follow the example of many unfor-
tunate whites and endeavor to take
the Nelson cure" has two names, as
set forth in his bankruptcy papers.
He gives his name as Isaac Buffalo, or
Isaac Kebble, and states that he is
a farmer by occupation.
Kebble or Buffalo resides in Day
county and is member of the Sisse-
ton and WahpetOn tribe of Sioux In
dians. In the schedule accompanying
his petition he places his liabilities at
$2,S56.99 and his assets at $S5 The
Indian applicant appears to be very
liberal minded, for. strange as IL may
seem. no part Of his assets is claimed
to be exempt. Even at the worst, if
he succeeds in going through the
bankruptcy courts, he will be far
ahead of the game.

SALOONMEN LOSE CASE.
Council Is Held to Have Power to Re
ynEa ItrorScS

woke Licenses.
Judge Jones, Of the state circuit
court in Sioux Falls, has decided an
important case which was instituted
for the purpose of testing the powers
of city councils in revoking saloon
licenses where the proprietors of sa-
looms are proven to have violated the
provisions Of the state liquor license
law.
The case was instituted by Dillman
& Mccormick, until recently engaged
in the saloon business in Sioux Falls.
They were charged with having vio-
lated the state law, and as the result
Of a public hearing before the mayor
and city council they were declared
by the council to be guilty and their
license was revoked.
They carried the case before Judge
Jones, chiefly on the ground that no
body except the regularly constituted
courts could hold such hearing as
was held by the city council and re-
woke the license granted a saloon. 1t
was argued in behalf of the city au
thorities that the council had jurisdic-
tion under the laws Of the state, en-
acted by the last legislature, which
expressly gives city councils the right
to hear evidence and to decide as to
the revoking of a saloon license.
Judge Jones sustained this view,
holding that in the case of Dillman &
Mccormick the city council had pro-
ceeded legally and in accordance with
the state law.
