ENLIGHTENMENT IS CHARGED.
Railroad Foreman Nabbed on ACCUSE
ton Concerning Former Job.

The Fidelity and Deposit Company
Of Maryland caused the arrest of Hen
ry Wagner of WATERFOWL, the COM
plant charging ENLIGHTENMENT of funds
Of the Atlas Elevator company. doing
business at Henry. Wagner has been
in the employ OF the company for the
last five years. Recent Investigations,
1t is alleged, show shortage of his
accounts, the bond company claiming
TO have been required to put up some
sL100 to cover shortages. Wagner
claims there are no discrepancies
made on his part, and if any appear
the mistakes were made during the
time he was confined at his home on
account of sickness. Shortly after
his recovery, early In the winter, he
severed his connection with the Atlas
company and accepted a position as
foreman of the construction crew for
the Minneapolis & st. Louis Railroad
company, with headquarters at Water
town.

To Hold Gas Festival,

At a meeting OF the board OF trade
ct Pierre, after a full discussion, it
was decided at once to begin arrange
ments for gas belt festival to be held
In that city this fall at some date
which will not conflict with other fall
entertainments In the state. The plan
Is for a general exhibit OF grains and
agricultural products Of that section
of the state. and coupled With 1t, gen.
sral carnival which will be arranged
for the entertainment of all visitors
TO the city. Another feature will be
exhibits OF gas-propelled machinery
and devices of all kinds, for which
space will be provided. Committees
will be appointed at once to begin the
necessary preliminary work. and the
FIRST festival will be made as success
fM az possible, that 1t may help the
following years along.

TO PASS ITS DIVIDEND.
siomestake Fire Causes Cessation Of
Monthly Disbursements.

For the first time In twenty-eight
years, practically for the first time in
the history OF the company, the Home
stake will miss a dividend. This en-
nouncement has just come from the
companys Offices in New York, and
Is made by means of letter to the
stockholders. This is done because
the fire in the mine has prevented
operations and the taking out of ore ;
also because the mills are all closed
so that the water may be used for
flooding the mine. which is now filed
almost to the 500-foot level. Finan-
cialfy the company is in the best Of
condition, owing nothing, but it has
been believed advisable to maintain
the strong financial position by pass
Ing temporarily the monthly dividend.
Dividends for some time have been
so cents. amounting monthly to S109,-
900. The company during it's history
has paid out in dividends over $780,
100000.

SELL CAPITOL LANDS.
Offerings in Hyde County Bring Az.
craze of $40 an Acre.

The spring sales of state building
lands now are being made, and the
offerings will continue until the end of
the month. Commissioner Dokken
made the first offerings in Hyde coun-
ty, where 900 acres were sold at an
average of $40 an acre. 1t appears to
be the policy of local real estate deal
ers to discourage these sales as much
as possible. While as a matter of fact
the acreage of capitol lands in most OF
the counties is small, offerings OF it
will keep coming along until all is dis
posed of.
At the sales Of capitol lands in Hand
county all that class of lands in the
county were disposed of at an aver
age sale price of $12.05 an acre, one
tract going at $3.50 per acre. II the
sales in the other counties hold. up to
the record already made, the fund will
be largely increased.

State News of Interest
cowsoYs RESCUE CATTLE.
"Punchers" Drive OF Bankers Who
Guard Animals.

A number OF bankers, their clerks
and employees, mounted on bronchos
and with lanterns in their hands, stood
guard all night over a bunch OF 800
cattle, which they laid claim to by
right of chattle mortgage, but lost pos
session OF them after an exciting
brush with cowboys working in the in
terest of the man who claims TO own
the cattle.
The incident is a chapter In ro-
nance which involves section of
Gregord county land known as the
Doc" Lewis ranch.
Kiva LamoreauX was a beautiful In
dian girl who twenty years ago mar
ried Lewis and relinquished land
braska. When Gregory county was
opened the woman appned for two sec
tons of land just east of Herrick.
Through the efforts OF Register and
Receiver Sanford Parker Of O'Neill,
who is her brother-inlaw, a special
act OF congress was enacted, giving
her and her four children the two Sec
tons OF land. Mrs. Lewis, to assist
her husband, gave him a deed to one
section of the land and he In turn sold
It to the Bank of Spencer, through its
president, F. w. Wilder of Corning,
Iowa. Lewis then bought $4,000 worth
OF cattle, giving the bank a chattel
mortgage on them. Mrs. Lewis then
brought suit against her husband and
the bank to secure the recouyeyance
OF the land TO her.
The bank attempted to take the cat
tie and lock them in a stock yards at
Herrick. The cattle were driven to
the yards and the bankers. clerks and
employees stood guard over them.
Lewis began an action OF replevin and
late at night cow punchers went to
the stock yards, drove off the bankers
party and again secured possession OF
the cattle, which are now at his ranch.
The bank has telephoned for legal
assistance and long drawn out law
suit probably will ensue.

WHOLESALE LICENSE.
Needed by Brewers from Outside the
State.


Judge whiting, OF the ninth judicial
circuit. has handed down All important
decision relative to the right OF brew
ing companies located outside OF the
state to solicit orders for selling beer

Cured a wholesale license. The Con-
rad Seipp company last fall sold a
carload OF beer to Redfeid saloon
keepers, and on suit being brought for

illegal, having been made without a
Wholesale license being taken out by
the company. Judge Whiting directed
a verdict against the plaintiff on the
ground following the case OF state a.
gainst Delmater, which has recently
been affirmed by the United States
supreme court. Sterling & Clark APP
peared for defendants and n. p. Brom.

THREE ARE INDICTED.
Grand Jury Finishes Its Work at
Pierre and Is DISCHARGED.

The grand jury which was called
for the circuit court now in session in
Pierre, was discharged after little
more than two days consideration OF
matters presented to them. A number
OF cases were dismissed without ac-
ton, not being considered OF enough
Importance to bring them into court.

OF the cases brought before them, one
being in the case brought before them,
one being in the case of Doc" Bridge
man, the negro being held at Pierre
on a charge of iail-breaking; another
against II. J. Hebron, on grand

w. Wright, on a charge of assault with
a dangerous weapon. All OF these
were reported in court and as ali the
parties were either in custody or out
on bonds, their cases will come up
for hearing at once.

WILL MAY BE IN SECRET pAwsR.
II No Requests Have Been Made State
Will Get Wealth

With no known relatives to claim
her estate, and with no known will ex-
listing, the wealth of the late Mrs.
John R. Wilson of Deadwood, mem
Der of the lady board of managers of
the worlds fair, graduate OF a New
York law school and one of the most
beautiful women in the State of South
Dakota, probably will pass to the
state and become an asset OF the
school fund of this state.
The condition of this estate is al
most unique in the annals of the
state. In January last Mr.. Wilson
died leaving. aside from his own re-
sources and liabilities, heavy life in
surance which went to his widow and
which could not be touched for the
debts of his estate. Mrs. Wilson sur
vived him only three months, and died
without making a will As the insur-
ance which he left had become part OF
the estate, it could not be touched for
the debts OF his estate. and, in the alb
sence of relatives and of a will, the
money needs must go to the state.
A curious feature of the case is
that, short time before her death,
Mrs. Wilson told relative of her hus-
band that in the new part OF her house
was concealed a secret closet or draw
er. She even went so far as to desig-
nate where the key to this hidden re-
cess would be found, but still gave no
inkling as to the location OF the closet.
Since her death, believing that IL there
is a will. it may be found in this So
cret drawer, a thorough search OF the
house has been made in an attempt to
locate this hiding place. The house
is an old one, to which extensive adj
ditions have been made. One of the
carpenters who built the last addition
was located. He said that another car
penter, who since has dropped out OF
sight, would be the only man who
would know II such a place existed.
He, however suggested three places
in which a secret drawer might have
been put. Thorough search. however,
thus far has been futile. No trace OF
the hiding place can be found; and it
is thought that this statement OF Mrs.
Wilson may have been one OF the de-
lusions OF her illness.
The beautiful furnishings OF the
house have been sold at public sale
and are being scattered about the
country. Another unusual and inter
esting feature has arisen. 1t was
Mrs. Wilson's custom TO keep an ac-
| count in New York bank, and at the
time OF her death she had several
thousand dollars there. This has been
levied on, according to the law con-
corning Inheritance tax In that state,
and the amount coming to the school
fund will be short several hundred
dollars.

CITY IS ENJOiNEO.
Yankton Must Not Stop Telephone
Work, Court Says.

A temporary restraining order has
been granted by Judge Garland Of the
United States court in Sioux Falls, in
the case OF the Northwestern Tele-
phone Exchange Company against the
city authorities Of that place. Judge
Garland heard the arguments in the
case some days ago and has just rem
dered his decision. The telephone
company asked that temporary in
junction be granted restraining the
city authorities from interfering with
the extension Of the system. 1t is
contended by the city that the fran
chise of the telephone company has
expired, and that it cannot extend its
system until 1t has first applied for
and secured a new franchise from the
city council. The court will hear on
its merits the question OF extension
TO streets not now occupied by lines.

CLAIM BIGGEST FOURTH"
Rival Towns Advertise Programs for
Celebrations.

In the days OF settlement east Of the
Missouri river quarter of a century
ago the supreme test as to the ability
Of any Of the ambitious towns to keep
up with the procession was the kind OF
3 Fourth Of July celebration they
could put up, and none Of them would
give way to rival on that particular
occasion, whatever they might do on
any other disputed point. The new
settlements west of the Missouri are
showing an indication of emulating
the acts of the settlers east of the
river. Every new town is getting
ready for the Fourth. Each Is promis-
Ing to make the eagle scream a little
louder than any of the others, and all
are inviting the people far and near
20 attend 'the best celebration in the

Timber Sells Rapidly.

The bug infested timber which Is
being sold In the Black Hills by the
forestry officials is going rapidly. Last
months sales were approximately TO-
100000 feet, the majority Of the tim
Der sold being in Pennington and Cus-
ter counties. 1t will be used chiefly
for railroad ties and rough timber. 1t
IA expected that the sales this month
will be even greater than for the pre-
ceding month. This timber is being
disposed of In an effort to combat the
iaroads being made b. the bark beetle
upon the forests OF that section.

Johnson, the evangelist. who is Gre

date In Pierre in January, the commit
tee having the matter in charge not
being able to secure his services be-
fore that time. This movement was
taken on the part Of the trustees OF
the Methodist, Baptist and Congrega-
tional churches, in Joint session. To
secure the evangelist they must agree
to prepare a tabernacle with seat
ing capacity OF not less than 1000,
and have it ready for the occasion.
Church committees have been APP
pointed to look after that part OF the
plan. and they will. IL possible, work

ings to be arranged to answer for both

CELL DOOR OPENS FOR sIoAMlsT
"Rev." Charles A. Lyons Finishes
Four-Year Term.

The release from the penitentiary
OF Charles A. Lyons, after having
served four years for bigamy, recalls
a famous case OF its kind.
Lyons first appeared in Sioux Falls
between four and five years ago. He
had formerly been minister, and was
known as Rev Charles A. Lyons. and
one of the local churches. He met
and fell in love with a highly respect
ed young woman of the city, whom he
married
Then he mysteriously disappeared
after a short married life, and there
were circumstances which, for time,
indicated he had been the victim OF
foul play. Not the slightest trace OF
him could be found after a persistent
search.
But the deserted wife, who at first
was firmly OF the opinion that the
missing man had been the victim OF
foul play, finally became convinced
that he was a villain and had yolun-
tarily deserted her She then, single
handed, commenced a search for him
which after several months, resulted
in his capture in the Twin Cities.
Knowing he was a bookbinder by
trade, she wrote personal letters, with
a description OF her supposed hus-
band to all the bookbinders in all the
leading cities OF the United States,
and through this means he was To-
Gated.
It was not long after she COM
menced her search before she became
aware that Lyons was alive and well,
and that she was no wife at all. az
Lyons had one or two other wives
living from whom he had never been
legally separated.
After having completed his term in
prison. Merle Dodge, wisconsin man,
who pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging him with having mailed an
Objectionable letter in the postoffics
at Groton. S. D., has been released.
Dodge also was fined, but escaped
payment by taking the poor debtors
oath.
