From Danger by Making an
Expert Revolver Shot.

Chamberlain, S. D., June l1.-Mrs,
William Schrader. who with her nus
band resides on a homestead in Lyman
county, by a display Of Workmanship
which can be ~equalled by few men. has
gained the distinction of being the
champion woman marksman of the re-
gion between the Missouri river and
the Black Hills, in western South Da-
kota.
Mrs. Schrader succeeded at a dis

CASH ON HAND
SIOO Per CAPITA
Bank Deposits Keeping Pace
With the Remarkable
Increase in Population.

Pierre, S. D., June 12.-The bank de-
posits in South Dakota are approx
mately 500 for each resident of the
state. While there has been a decided
increase in population the past year,
the deposits have been practically
keeping pace with this increase. The
banks at the Tine of tn. last call had
individual deposits TO the amount of
$53.6S SIS. There are a far greater
number OF state banks than nationals,
and while the latter carry greater de-
posts for each bank han the average
state bank, the states hold by far the
largest amount of deposits. That class
of banks had $34,125, $50 at the time of
the March call, an increase OF nearly
SO, 900, 900 from the date of the Deem
Der call. The nationals with SIS, $50
929 showed a decrease OF a million and
a third dollars for the same time, leav-
ing a net gain for the state of about
81, 500, 600.
While the state has for years held
the record for the greatest per capita
production of new wealth, it is also
holding it's own in it's bank deposits.
The report of the state treasurer for
the close of business on May 81 showed
s total in all funds of $715,5S7. Out
Of this $2S6,02 is the income fund of
the state land department and will be
distributed among the schools of the
state on the 18th. The capital building
fund has been reduced to s94,52s. but
as O large acreage Of the capital lands
will be upon the market this month.
il will likely go above 100000 again.
The irvine plant fund continues TO in
crease, being up 10 S167,552.

WIFE OF MILLIONAIRE
ASKS A DIVORCE

Sioux Falls, S. D.. June 10.-From
wife of the president Of the ship-build-
ing trust and Of the Trust Company of
the Republic in New York City and a
life of luxury in the most exclusive So
ciety set Of the metropolis. Mrs. Daniel
Leroy Dresser has come to Sioux Falls
to obtain a divorce and fit herself for
a position as s~tenographer.
From her mansion in New York
City, Mrs. Dresser has come to live in
the famous divorce house" of Sioux
Falls, a comfortable but not elegant
home on Grange venue
Shortly after her arrival in Sioux
Falls, May l, Mrs. Dresser applied for
admission to the Sioux Falls Business
college and has been in constant at
tendance there ever since.
She is one OF my most apt pupils"
said Prof. CT. c. Christopherson. IT
have beCr surprised by the quickness
with which she picks up her work. 1
did not know who she was when She
applied. She has never told me wheth-
er she wanted TO be a s~tenographer.
but by the earnestness with which she,
is learning shorthand n typewriting.
l Judge that is her intention"
Mrs. Dresser's presence in Sioux
Falls was discovered accidentally.
Her name has been kept out Of the
telephone book, she gets her mail in a
box at the postoffiCe and she has not
made acquaintance, all in the hope of
keeping her presence from becoming
known.
A reporter had called at the home of
Mrs. w. Barley Henry of Philadel-
phia, another very prominent divorce,
here. He saw talking with her on the.
porch a handsome woman attired in
an elegant blue lace coat. When she
left she carried Mrs. Henry's two-year-
old baby girl a block, huggin6 n
kissing the youngster all the while.
That is my only friend in Sioux
Falls" said Mrs. Henry. She is Mrs
Dresser of New York. Why don't you
go to see her"
And a moment later she recalled hat
Mrs. Dresser was avoiding publicity
and would say no more about her.
Mrs. Dresser attempted to obtain a
decree Of separation from her husband
at New York in 1907, but did not press
the case. Her husband failed trying
to float the securities of the American
Shipbuilding company. He is a broth

York, Becomes Ill in the
Canadian Woods.

Greenwich, Conn, June 13.-Charles
p. Geddes. OF the New York house of
Smith, Gray & Co. has arrived in
Greenwich i'll with typhoid, after one
OF the strangest n most trying trips
ever endured.
He has travelled more thar seven
hundred miles in an almost dying con
dition. twenty miles on n stretcher
through the woods. fifty miles in a ca
noe and the remainder by rail.
Mr.. Geddes and several prominent
New York sportsmen were taking an
outing with the Laurentian club, at
Lake I4apeche, Canada. He became Sc
riously Ill, and as there was no chance
whatever OF obtaining medical aid his
friends made haste to convey him to
some place where he could get treat
ment.
Placing him on a stretcher borne by
eight Indians they hurried him along
! the rough trail through the thick woods
| until Three Lakes was reached. A part
of the time Mr.. Geddes was delirious,
and IL was feared he would die before
reaching Cultivation.
Arriving at the lake shore he was
transferred TO a canoe n padded fif-
ty miles until the main camp of the
club was reached. From a point near
| there he was taken by rail to Montreal,

He insisted, however, on being taken
to his home, and was therefore put

BURGLAR DROPPED
BY BULLET WOUND

Pierre, s. D., June 10.-Early Satur-
day morning a clerk named Guy Moul-
tin was awakened by noises in the
store of Hatch & Fisher, which is next
door to the building in which he sleeps.
Feeling that such noises were a little
unusual for that period of the morn
ing, Moulton crept put of his own
room and peering through one of the
windows in the rear wall. saw a figure
moving rapidly to and fro in the store.
The night police was called and the,
robber surrounded. The fellow be-
lieving that the early morning dark
ness would give him sufficient cover
IN which to make his escape, made a.
bold dash for his liberty. The night
policeman was not to be cheated of his
catch and followed the thief with bull
lets singing around his ears. A last
and well-aimed shot from the revolver
of the policeman caught the flying rob-
Der in the back of the neck. He
dropped and was taken to the city jait
for medical attention. Later reports
lave 1T that he will live to pay for his
crime of larceny.

RUMORS OF TWO
new SEES WITHIN
LIMITS OF STATE
Rapid Growth of Catholicism
Calls for Creation of Two
New Bishoprics.

Sioux Falls. S. D., June 13.-Much
has been caused In eccleslas-
lea circles throughout the state by
the well authenticated report from
Washington, d. c., where Bishop
O'Gorman is at present sojourning, that
in the neal future two new Episcopal
sees will be created within the present
diocese of Sioux Falls. One of these.
according to his rumor, will be located
at Aberdeen, the other at Mitchell. A
division of the diocese has been con-
templated TO. some time, though until
recently the erection of only n new
see city was in prospect. The rapid
growth of Catholicity in the eastern
portion of the state for the past few
years puts the creation Of two new
bishoprics instead of one within the
limits OF the probabilities. AS yet moth
ing definite is known as to the prob
able candidates for the high offices. 1t
is believed, however, that Rev. J. j.
O'Neil, of Beresford, will prove the
most likely candidate for the Aberdeen
e~piscopacy. 1t is recognized that he is
peculiarly fitted for the office, and his
work as chaplain Of the chapel a has
brought him prominently to the notice
of leading ecclesiastics in the east n
west.
AS to the occupant of the proposed
Mitchell see there is no question but
that the Very Rev. Dean Shea. the,
present pastor of the parish. will prove
the most available candidate His
learning and eloquence, his long years
of labor within the diocese. together
with his work in connection with the
erection OF a magnificent new church.
soon to be dedicated, make him the
most logical candidate of the priests in
the southern portion of the diocese. ,
In connection with this report, and
from the same source. comes the ru-
NOR that the Very Rev. E. A. Bouska,t
of Tabor, is destined for the b%ishopric
of the Lead diocese, soon to be vacati
ed, 1t is believed, by the transfer of
Bishop Stariha. the present occupant,
TO the Cleveland diocese, rendered va
cant by the death of Bishop Horts-
mann. 1t will be remembered that
Father Bouska vas prominently men
toned as a candidate when that do
cese was first created a few years ago.
AS he speaks several of the modern.
languages fluently he would be pecul-.
iarly fitted TO minister to the various
n~ationalities comprised within the bor-.
ders of this new diocese.
