Otherwise the exploring party has
been successful. Large tracts of un-
known land have been mapped out

Greenland has been charted.

taken by the snowstorm. The foe
drifted out to sea. The provisions
of the explorers soon became exhaust

SCENE OF HAPPY REUNION.
Descendants Of Lord Chesterfield Meet
in South Dakota.

III oOoNu O0NOSa
Two grandchildren Of the famous
Lord Chesterfield of England were the
principals In a remarkable reunion
which has just taken place at Mont
rose, northwest. of Sioux Falls.
The principals in the reunion were
a brother and sister, Miss Rachael
Chesterfield. a prominent Young Wom-
ems Christian association worker OF
New York city, and Edward Chester
field, who since childhood had been a
resident of Nebraska and South Da-
kota. Their plans for the future are
not definitely known as yet. but 1t is
believed the brother will accompany
his sister to New York n in the fu-
ture reside with her.
The reunion was the elimination OF
a search which had been prosecuted
by Miss Chesterfield many years.
When she and her brother were chill
dren and resided in New York city
their parents, as well as themselves.
were stricken with typhoid fever. The
parents died, but the children slowly
recovered and were taken in charge
by an orphans society. Young Ches-
terfield, when only abo five years of
age. was sent to a home In Nebraska,
where he remained for some years.
A few years ago he drifted to South
Dakota. finally appearing at Montrose,
where he was given a position by DR..
Spencer as a general utility man. He
has been known as Ed. Chester, the
'field' having been dropped from his
name, and this handicapped Miss
Chesterfield in tracing him.

MRS. DRESSER TO POUND KEYS.
Shorthand and Typewriting Stunt for
Former -Four Hundred' Leader.


Once among the leaders Of New
New York's 400" n%eighbor of Presi.
dent Roosevelt at Oyster Bay, and
used to all the luxuries that wealth
may buy, Mrs. Daniel Leroy Dresser,
who secured a divorce in Sioux Falls,
will begin life anew DIS a stenographer
earning her own way in the world.
All the wealth she possessed was used
in an effort to save something out of
the wreck Of her husbands financial
ventures.
During the year and a half that Mrs.
Dresser has been separated from her
husband, who is a brOther-in-law of
George w. Vanderbilt and uncle of
John Nicholas Brown, she had studied
stenography in order to earn a living.
She declares that her entire fortune
was spent in order to prevent the col
lapse of her husbands finances.
A suit for separation brought by
Mrs. Dresser over a year ago was the
Ia - ~ SllI ~
drama which had long beer hidden.
1t was then learned that Dresser, fear
ing that his wife planned to run away
with the two children, Susan and Dan
iel, Jr, had sought an order to pre-
vent them leaving the state.
Shortly before the separation there
was a story scene following which,
it was related. Dresser picked up his
hat and walked out of the apartment
at 80 Central Park, saying. "Goodby,
I'm through with you"
Recently Mrs. Dresser made a Wig
orous denial that her husbands bust
ness failure had anything to do with
their separation.
In June, 1907, Mrs. Dresser took her
two children TO England. where they
resided until she established her resi-
dence in Sioux Falls FOR the purpose of
securing a final decree.

TOWNS RA|DfD
Lowry and Alaska Are Fired by
Band of Mounted Masked
Men.
BUILDINGS ARE DESTROYED

Aberdeen, S. D., Aug. 26.-Revenge
horse thieves is believed to be the
cause of the raid of the towns of Low.
ry and Alaska by night riders at an
early hour yesterday morning. Both
towns narrowly escaped being wiped
out by fire.
All the buildings are frame struc'
lures and furnished good fuel for the
flames. Both towns are in Walworth
county, on the river extension of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis railroad and
only a few miles apart.
Lowry was the first town ralded.
Herman's general store was fired by
the raiders and the flames spread rap
idly to adjoining buildings. Seven
masked men were e riding away,
but no attempt was made to follow
for the town vas in danger of being
destroyed.
Alaska Asks Aid.
While the citizens were fighting the
fire a telephone message was received
from Alaska asking for aid and stat
ing that the town had beer fired by
raiders. Similar messages were re-
ceived at Hoven and other nearby
towns.
In the meantime the sheriff had
been SEN for and ne arrived at
Alaska this afternoon. 1t is reported
that the authorities have a clue which
ma lead to arrests.
The hotel at Alaska is one of the
burned buildings, and the loss can
only be estimated at this time. 1t
will reach about 100000; fully COW
cred by insurance.
Laid to Horse Thieves.
Later advices stated that six build
ings We're destroyed at Alaska n a
like number at Lowry. The raid is be-
lieved to have been inspired by the re-
cent activity OF the authorities of the
two towns against suspected horse
thieves. The sheriff OF Walworth
county is Investigating.
The fires were first discovered at
Lowry and at $3.50 a. m. at Alaska.
Both fires were undoubtedly the work
Of the same band.
