Taken From the Daily Register OF
July II, 1927

Baron Won Harry Williams, OF Paris,
France, arrived here this morning to
look after his property interests in
this section. He came round by way
Of China where he opened a new bank
ut Che Foo.
That truth 10 oitimes stranger than
fiction is illustrated in the wonderful
career OF Baron Williams. Born and
raised in Bookings, he was here
educated and subsequently for years
q teller in the Bank OF Brookings.
In the GUNNER OF 1907. on a vacation
trip, he visited the Grand Canyon OF
Colorado, and while there Was the
means OF saving the life OF q young
lady at the imminent risk OF losing
his own. As a result OF this exploit
he wal visited by the young lady's
father, who besides being profuse in
his thanks, offered the young man
several thousand francs. The money
Harry spurned, informing the old
gentleman that he wal out there
simply to get away from the stufi-he
was tired Of seeing it around. This
lead TO explanations and when APP
priced Of the fact that u subject was

lighted, for he was none other than
Baron Rothcbild, the head OF the
French house OF these extremely rich
and we'll known financiers. To make
. long story short the young people
fell madly in love and were married
the next June ut the brides home,
Castle de Coin, at Versailles, just out.
side OF Paris, and Harry was given
the management OF one OF the Roth
child banks. His success was re-
markable and upon the death OF the
Baron he succeeded to the title and to
the French business Of the family and
is today one OF the richest and wisest
guys in all the world. The Baroness
was unable 70 accompany him on this
trip and the noses OF our first families
are somewhat ont Of joint Vt losing
this opportunity OF hobnobbing with
royalty. AS is we'll known the French
are great lovers OF frog legs and the
Baron will take with him several
dozen American frogs which he will
turn loose on his estates across the
pond and raise HE own frog legs.
He will yemain shout ten days.

Talked Strawberries

Prof. N. E. Hansen returned Thurs
day from . trip TO Minneapolis, where
he attended q meeting at the Mime
sofa experiment station. Strawberries
was the main topic discussed, and
Prof. Hansen gave an address upon
the work in this line he is doing at
the college. He had something like
ninety new varieties this year, most OF
which are q great improvement over
the berry from which they were de-
veloped. They are the result Of cross
ing the wild native berry with the
tame plant, and they combine the
hardness of the wild plant with the
sire and flavor OF the tame variety.

The iail register bears an entry made by Town Narshal Moore Thursday night, to which is at tachcd tale of human suffering and woe that is almost incredible. The entry reads "Wonan and Two Little Babies"
 Officer Moore relates that after midnight he was called to the phone by we'll known citizen who called him to his house, and there he found a Mexican woman with q little girl about two years old and d baby in arms about fifteen days old, who stated that with the little tots she had walked from Orc Blanco to Nogales, a distance of forty-two miles, in two days. The officer took her to restaurant and gave her supper. which she ate with a nervousness that suggested that she had made the terrible trip without anything to eat; and to provide shelter he took them to the jail.

INDIAN PENSION ACT
Survivors Of the Raids BY Red Men
oa Want Better One.

A number of the veteran imam fight
ers of the famous Indian outbreak who
participated in thei defense of Hutchin
son from Little Crows bana of savages
met i'm 3tilat city this week to formu-
late a Plan Of action ii regard to the
state Indian pension act which was
passed by. the state legislature at the
session of 1905.
The act passed at the last session of
tie legislature requires that in order
to be eligible to a pension the appli-
cant must show proof of some injury
or disability suffered during the time
he was in the state service in 1862. The
injury or disability might have been
ever so slight, but if the applicant can
establish the fact he is eligible to pen
sion, while his comrade, who went
through the same hardships and dan
gers, suffered the same privations, but
who can not prove any injury or dis
au.llty incurred, is ineligluie.
The law is believed to be unfair and
it is the purpose OF the veterans who
met in Hutchinson to ask the legisla-
ture to amend the law. and they invite
other veterans of the, Indian war to CO.
operate with them i'll the enort.
