Delinquent Tax lists Printee
This E all Were Smallest IN
History OF State.

Sioux Falls. : j., Jan. 2.--The OK
celenr financial condition of the people
of South Dakota is aptly shown by
the fact that the delinquent tax lists
printed this f,ll IN the state news

If not ,he smallest IN the history of the
state
But further evidence, particularly
upon thr financial condition Of the
farmers of that portion OF South Da-
kota lying east OF the Missouri river,
is given by the record of farm loans in
the region indicated A loan agency
OF Sioux Falls has about s2000,000
loaned Ia thai part OF the state. The
81 coo 600 represents loans to about
l 500 farmers scattered IN all portions
of eastern South Dakota
Upon this vast sum all the interest
has been paid bat about $500, and this
will bc adjusted within the next few

During October, November and De-

ARRESTS COMING IN
S. %. MURDER CASE

Henry, D., Jan 6-Two months
have passed since the murder of f. NJ.
Brown the wealthy hermit The cor
oners inquest brought out but little n
any facts or circumstances which might
lead to the arrest OF suspects. But aft
er he funeral was held the investiga-
tion began to take shape and the
superintendent of a Minneapolis de-
tective agency has been on the ground
for several weeks making a personal
investigation.
The detective has discovered and pho
tographed footprints leading from the
cabin Of the murdered man. and has
also photographed the footprints OF a
suspect, which correspond There is
positive evidence that Brown was first
shot and then strangled: there is evil
dence to prove that the suspect pur-
chased a 32-Caliber gun and ammuni-
tion The detective has money In his
possession which was known TO have
been in the hands Of Brown, he also
has evidence which shows that Brown
marked his money, and has some of the
marked money which has been passed
by the suspect There is every reason
to believe that an arrest will be made
within a few days.
