Young Girl Claimant Alleges Dual Elk
istence,


Pierce, S. D., Aug. 5.-If Miss Carrie
Bingham can make her contention be-
fore the government land department
stick the prairies of the west will be-
come ideal locations for homesteaders,
as all they will have to do is to make
a filing, then develop a dual entity"
and let the dual part of themselves
stay upon the homestead and keep
their entity at work at any particular
place and at any form of labor desired
until the time for making final proof
has come, then make the proof and
get the land on the residence made
by the other self Miss Bingham made
final proof on a Stanley county home
stead, but an investigation of the proof
by a special agent before patent would
issue showed that most of the time al
legged in the residence was put in
teaching school in Kokomo, Ind, and
the claimant was notified to show
cause why the entry should not be
cancelled, and put up the plea that her
dual entity had been upon the claim
in South Dakota while In flesh she was
teaching school In Indiana. The de-
partment will have TO interview sew
eral mahatmas and seers on that ques-
ton to get down to the bottom facts,
but the chances are all against the
claim getting past the department.

Brstow Ncb.. Aug o. Special to
The News: Charles Nicsscn has
pleaded guilty to the charge of at.
tempting to murder his brother julius
Niesscn, while at work ON the farm
of Horace Hcninn on the afternoon
of August I. The preliminary hearing
was held before Judge Holt Saturday
and the young man was bound over to
the district court under bonds of 49,.

The story told by the young man Is
that from pure domestic reasons the
young brother thought the older broth
or was giving him the worst end of lit
tie deals, and he had attempted to end
these through the attempted murder.
TO carry his plans into action he sad
died his pony and rode to the bank Of
the creek, about half mile, in n field
near which his brother wos working,
pulled off his shoes, waded into the
creek, took hiding in the cornhcld,
there waiting until the brother should
come in range in the course of his
rounds in cutting grain.
julius Nicssen Is about twentyfour
and Charles is twenty-onc. The young
man who was shot Is fast recovering
and is thought out of danger of blood
poisoning.

one and One-half miles from here, Jul
Illus Neissen, age about twenty-four
years, was shot with a shotgun in the
back by someone from ambush about
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Shots Not Fatal.
Ncissen had been working In the
| field all day, and had just turned a
corner around the field when the shot
was fired but seventy or eighty feet
from where he worked from a corn
| field opposite the grain field
| The shot scattered to such an extent
that Neisscn was not killed, the shot
however, were buried in the back OF
his head, arm and back. After being
shot, Neissen unhitched his four hors
es and drove to the farmhouse Of Mr.
Henitin, about threc-quartcrs of a mile
from the field, where he was brought
to town. DR.. Craft treated the man
and picked ont many shot.

After Nessen told his story, Mar

who did the shooting had evidently
been lying down and had changed pc

The Night Service.

The popular meeting at the taber.
nacle Sunday night brought out very
nearly capacity house, if not quite
so. The different ministers of the
city omitted their night services and
were on the platform to encourage
Evangelist Birch in his work. The
sermon was one of the strongest the
evangelist has yet delivered. The
latter part of it was particularly i'm
pressive. By repeated requests Mr..
Birch used his cornet in solo, rem
dering Nearer, my God, to Thee"
so sweetly that the almost heavenly
tones will long echo in the memory
of his thousands of hearers.
We regret that want of space for
bids our mentioning at length this
grand gathering of our people to
hear Mr.. Birch, for it was most evi
dent that ministers, people of the
churches and outsiders would re-
joice to have the meetings continued
beyond the limit fixed, Wednesday
night, out Mr.. Birch is due in some
part of Pennsylvania in few days,
and will have TO close the meeting
on that night. He announced that
the meetings. both at night and in
the afternoon, would be held in the
tabernacle as the First, Presbyterian
church cannot hold anything like
half the people who want to attend
! the services.

LARGE CROWD
OF men ONLY
Heard Evangelist Chester
Birch at Tabernacle Sun
Day Afternoon.

Mr.. Birch's sermon, "Show Your
Hand, +" was a grand call to men to
abandon their besetting sin, what
ever it might be, and turn to God.
He emphasized the fact that man
may be a good citizen and yet have
the withered hand from holding too
fast to the dollar, he may be too
much absorbed in the accumulation
of wealth, temper may have so
strong hold upon him as to cause a
man to send the knife to the hilt in
the breast of fellow man, or send
the bullet through the brain of a
friend. He also dwelt at length on
the habit of swearing and drinking,
citing instances where the love of
drink had robbed a mans family of
food and his finally giving up every
one dearest to him for the accursed
stuff. Hemade no war on the men
who sell the vile stuff, and would
not so long as towns and cities
license the men to sell. He rather
inferentially threw the responsibility
on the citiz ems who elect men who
legalize the sale of it by issuing
license.
Mr.. Birch's face to face talk to
the men present, who. he believed,
composed the better portion of our
population, received the very closest
attention and doubtless produced
lasting impression.
At the conclusion Of his sermon he
thanked the lodges and all present
for honoring him with their presence
and attention, and then called upon
those who wanted to lead better
life to go forward and give him their
hand. A dozen and half respond
ed to the call.
NOTES.
Mr.. Birch's solo, my Old Ken
lucky Home" with trombone and
piano accompaniment, was played in
way that showed his masterful use
of his instrument, his gold cornet,
given him by the ministers Of ST..
Louis several years ago.
AS trombonist Mr.. j. Hebbelu
is decided success.
DR.. C. G. Wilson, of GAINESVILLE,
who kindly came over to preside at
the piano, did his work finely, and
there was general regret t nathe and
Prof. Deadrick, of the S. w. P. Uni
versity. could not remain to the
night service.
The singing by those on the plat
form and the congregation was ex-
cellent, and no one enjoyed it more
than Mr.. Birch, who at times must
have imagined himself again leading
one of his old bands or choruses.
Prof. Deadrick is said to be fine
vocalist and was to have sung Tell
Mother I'll be There" Mr.. Birch
expressed his regret to Prof. Dead
rick at not sparing him time out of
his sermon for his solo, but had
hoped that the Professor would re-
main and sing at the night Service.
Mr.. Kincannon, the all-round sing
err and character man of the city,
sang very effectively "Will There be
Any Stars in My Crown" and was
heartily joined by the crowd in the
chorus.
