There seems ~ be blood on the
neon within nasionai guard circles In
South Dakota. SO far SIS q few officers
are concerned.
Capt. J. Wright Tarbeli. assistant
adJutaast general, IL charged by Max
Boyd Wsles, of Howard, With using
language unhccouaing al officer in q
letter addressed by capt Tarheil to
the major. No Official action has yet
been taken beyond the filing cf the
charges. and officers Of the guard who
| were In session In Watertowu Satur-
| day expressed the = that the diff
ference would be bly, adjusted
through an apology fsoTa the captain.
The latter. however, has not yet as
| scented 10 this method of settling the
| affair.
The trouble arose through a report
| which Mai Wales made to the adiu-
taut general. The major vas I'm COM
mand Of the section OF thu national
! guard on duty during the state fair
week at Huron 10 maintain order The
regiment band WIS also there under
| contract with the fair association The
band. 1t appears, did not consider it,
self under military orders. although no
friction developed during the fair
week. But Maj Wales, IN his report
to this adjesant. criticised the band for
what he considered the lack Of mtli-
tary bearing and military ncatness OH
the part Of some Of Its members. Por-
lions OF this report We're made public
at Aberdeen before II was officially
| perused by the adJutant. Some mems
beers of the band took n~fpbrage. Capt
Tarbeii, as assistant manager Of the
band. wrote a rather canstic letter 10
Mai Wales, eritscising the majors re-
port and intimating bias ON the ma
tor's part.
Maj. Walese at n conference with
the adiutant general. expressed regret
that he had inadvertently permitted
his report to get into the hands OF
newspaper men before IL cache the
adjutant's office. but gave a satisfae-
tory excuse. which has been accepted
by the adjrtant as an apology.
Now It's up To Capt. Tarbell TO offer
an apology or suffer the consequences
Of a courtmartiaI. whatever the re-
cult of that may be.

ing at the urgent request of h Rus
sian government, ordered that no eff

missing girl.
Since Miss Laponkhin disappeared
the governess has received a note in

cincts OF a theater.

John l.. MorFow. former postmaster
at Rudolph. Brown county, appeared
before Judge Garland, Of the United
States court. and entered q plea III
guilty to an Information charging him
with irregularities In his accounts
with the government.
This precise charge against Morrow
was that he made a false return on
the amount of postage stamps. stamp
ell envelopes. postal cards and news
paper and periodical sales OF his office.
in order to increase his compensation
as postmaster. Morrow gained very
little from his scheme To have his sal
