CATTLE man shot
Wealthy David G. Mckenzie Slain
by Former Employee.
KILLED By"BUD" STEPHENSON
unarmed Victim, Who Was One Of
the Best Known Stockmen of
the Southwest, Shot In Cold
Blood at Lebeau, s. D.

Lebeau, s. d. Dec. 13.-David G..
Mackenzie, son of former President
Murdo Mackenzie of the National
Live Stock association and one of the
wealthiest cattlemen i'm the country,
was shot by bud" Stephenson for
merly employed on the Matador ranch
of which Mackenzie was manager.
Stephenson was arrested shortly after
the shooting and later taken to Selby
to prevent threatened violence to the
prisoner.
Just what led up to the shooting is
a mystery and Stephenson refuses to
talk. The two men met in a saloon
and almost without word being
spoken Stephenson opened fire on
Mackenzie. The first bullet entered
A4acKenzie's lung and being unarmed,
he started for the door. Stephenson
fired two more shots, one of which
pierced the arm and the other the
heart. The victim died within a few
moments.
Stephenson, who Is So years old, re-
fused to talk of the affair. 1t is known,
however, that considerable feeling ex-
listed between him and Mackenzie
because of former difficulties. Steph-
enson has been away from the Mata-
dor ranch for some time and has lived
by doing odd jobs about the town.
When they met in the saloon, hardly
a word passed between them when
the shooting began. Several friends of
both men attempted to intervene but
had no opportunity.
An inquest resulted in verdict
which held Stephenson to the grand
jury ON charge of murder. MacKen-
zie came here from Trinidad, Colo,
where he was well known. Aside from
his own large cattle interests he has
managed the business of several 9TH
er wealthy live stock men and was
probably one of the best known men
in that business in the country.

Commissioner H. r. Wright declares
that there is no such organization in

as to regulate the price of butter and

Commissioner Wright claims that

there is not enough money in the milk
business to warrant an attempt to
form a trust.

NO PLACE LIKE IOWA.

The New Sharon Star tells a good
story about man who died and went
to heaven. Being naturally curious,
he wanted to see all, of this country
he had heard so much about and was
accompanied on his rounds by one of
the angels. They came In their walk
to several people wearing heavy balls
on their ankles, which fact seemed
very strange to the man, and he asked
the angel why 1t was. The reply was
that they were all good people, but
they were from Iowa, and it was nee
essary to keep them chained or they
would return.

MOTHERS DAY.

Most gracious, indeed, was the act ion of Head Consul Talbot in issuing q proclamation asking all Modern
 Woodmen of America to observe May
 10 as "Mothers' Day." To no one person is there due more love and more kindly remembrance than to the mother who gave Us birth. And vet many grow thoughtless, careless, ev n unkind. The old mother, whose form has been bent working for her children, is many times neglected, simply because, in their own busy struggle for livelihood, perhaps. with children of their oWn for whom they are striving. they become care less and do not realize how the old heart is acLing because of this ne glect. In commenting on the head Consul's thoughtful act C. F, Broughton, managing editor of the Daily Bulletin of Fon du Lac, Wis, says in his paper: mead Consul Tal- bot, of the Modern Woodmen, will commended for his proclamation setting aside May 10, as Mothers
 day, and urging upon all members of the order to wear | white flower, and if the mother be alive, to either visit or write her. This should not only be commendable in the eyes of the Modern Woodmen, but among the people of tie whole world

RHEUMATISM RECIPE.

A well-known authority on Rheu- matism gives the following valuable, though simple and harmless prescrip- tion, whicl any one can easily pre- pare at home;
 Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon. one ounce Compound Syrup Sarsaparilfa, three ounces.
 Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime.
 He states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good prescrip- tion pharmacy at small cost, and, be- ing of vegetable extraction, are harmless to take.
 This pleasant mixture, If taken regularly for a few days. is said to overcome almost any case of Rheu- matism. Inc pain and swelling, ii any. diminisnes with each dose, un- til permanent re5Llts ne obtained and without injuring the stomach.
