Sioux Falls Is Getting Tired Of Divorce

zine George Fitch writes about the
divorce colony of Sioux Falls, South

yet very informing. Following is Mr..

Sioux Falls about the matter:
"As a matter Of fact. Sioux Falls Is
getting pretty tired of the divorce last

wasn't particular about the tune. bn'
the city has grown up In the past le"
years. There are other buildings
lnow taller than the Cataract Hotel
There are citizens richer than the
ldivorsays. who have automobiles
of their own and who spend money
which isn't so odorous. There are
Iother ways of getting rich and other
sights more instructive than naughty
OF bustrdu familiars. The d.
vorsay is stin a sight and diversion
but she Is also a nuisance. Strangers

NIGHT providers PERSIST
Repeated Visits Are Paid to Premises
of Dr.. A. A. Kerr on East
First South.

Persistent night providers have caused
a great deal of uneasiness at the resi-
dence of DR.. A. a. Kerr of 754 East First
South street.
DR.. kerrs house was visited by thieves
twice during the past week and three
times during the past six weeks.
Six weeks ago burglars forced their
way into the kitchen of the house. They
were frightened away before they had
succeeded in opening the door which
leads from the kitchen to the other parts
of the residence. The next morning marks
of a jimmy upon the door showed how
the providers had labored to get into the
interior of the house. Nothing was
taken from the kitchen. This indicated
that the thieves were after more valua-
BILE plumber than food and cooking uten-
sis.
Last Tuesday night the chicken house
in the rear of the Kerr place was Wis
tied and q hen was stolen. The noise
made by the startled poultry awakened
the family andzthe thieves ran away.
Providers were on the premises again on
Wednesday night. On Thursday morning
d key was found in the wash house door.
The providers had attempted to open
the door with the key. IL became fast
ened IN the lock. The thieves were IN
able to Withdraw il and apparently aban-
doned the attempt to enter the place.
