GUILTY OF MURDER.
Continued from Page One.)
Story of the Murder.


The fact that Norris Heath had been
murdered was discovered Sunday
morning, May II. of the present year
by Myrick S. Heath, father of the
murdered boy. The crime was par
ticularly cold blooded and deliberate
one, carefully planned by the youthful
slayer and executed without hesitation.
When arrested and accused of the
crime soon after it was discovered
Young Preble made a clean breast OF
the whole affair, telling the officers
just how the murder had been planned
and carried out, and later relating the
entire story to Justice Louis NJ. Full
ton at Bowdoinham, before whom he
was arraigned.
The murder was committed Satur-
day, May II, within stones throw of
the home of the victim at Abagadasset
Point, young Preble shooting Heath in
the head from behind, with a shotgun,

TEACHERS CAN
SEE THE LAVA
BOARD OF EDUCATION GRANTS
THEM PERMISSION TODAY TO
LEAVE SCHOOL DUTIES MONDAY

Teachers throughout the islands can
vacate themselves from their school
duties to witness the lava flows on
Hawaii. This decision was reached
this morning at a special meeting Of
the commissioners Of public instruction
Superintendent Rabbit explained the
purpose of the meeting. He said that
number Of applications had been re-
ceived from teachers in Honolulu, for
leave of absence to accompany the
excursion to Hawaii to the lava flows
and, as 1t was expected that a special
deck rate of $15 for the round trip could
be arranged for the teachers, it was de-
sired to grant them the desired per-
mission to view the wonder.
1t was decided that the teachers
should have permission to absent them
selves from their school rooms on Mon
day, January 81, in order to take the
special excursion. The substitute teach
ers will be furnished by the depart
ment of education.
While the requests that have been
received by Superintendent Rabbit
are from Honolulu teachers solely, this
permission will be granted to teachers
from the other islands It is hoped
that a large number Of teachers will
avail themselves Of this opportunity.
The school department does not defray
the expenses Of the teachers making
the trip however.

opening Of the Kappa and other lands
that may be applied for. The legisla-
ture will probably make an appropria-
ton to enable the survey department
to carry on the work
Pratt says that he would with the
approval Of the governor, consent to
surveys being made without delay, If
the applicants would defray such ex-
penses until after the legislature had
appropriated funds.
1t is likely that the report of the
school department will not be printed
for the information of the legislature.
There are no funds on hand with which
to meet such expense, 1t has there
fore been decided by a local printing
establishment that had the contract,
not to run the risk of the bill not being
paid. 1t seems probable now that the
honorable legislators will have to con-
tent themselves with a typewriter

PARKSTON PEOPLE.
Raising Funds to Prosecute in
the Mrs. Kaufman
Case.

Sioux Falls, May 2S-Now that it is
practically certain that the trial OF
Mrs Kaufman, Of this city, charged
with murder. will commence at Elan
dreau on June 4, the people OF Park
ston, the former home of the domestic
whom Mrs Kaufman is charged with
having wantonly murdered, are en-
deavoring to raise additional funds for
the purpose of paying the special at
torneys who have been engaged by
them to aid in the prosecution.
Some time ago the people of Park
ston raised the sum of 300 by popular
subscription for use in connection with
the prosecution of Mrs. Kaufman, but
this now is about exhausted, and the
most important period in the prosecu-
ton of the accused is near at hand.
An effort was made by Parkston
people to have the board of county
commissioners of Hutchinson county
appropriate the sum necessary for the
payment of the special attorneys, but
the board now has refused to appro-
pirate a single dollar, and the people
of Parkston will therefore have to raise
the money themselves.
The Parkstonites accordingly have
issued public notice asking the peo-
pie of that place and adjoining towns
to contribute sucn sums as they can
toward the fund for the payment OF
the special attorneys Practically all
of the money secured in this way will
