SHOT SISTER and HIMSELF
South Dakota Man Thus Avoids g
Threatened Arrest.
SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS EXISTED
Woman Was strung Up TO Rafter and
Shot by Her Brother, Who
Then Ended His own
Existence.

MITCHELL s. D., May iS.-(Special Tel
eeram. .)-Suspending his sister, Miss Edith
GRAY aged forty years, to a rafter in an
attic bed room with stout piece of cloth,
w. c. Gray, aged 45. shot her in the ear
and instantly killed her. Gray then turned
the gun on himself, the bullet taking effect
behind the ear. and ended his life
The PARTIES lived on the south side Of
town In a small house. and with them were
living three chaldren of the man. Neigh
bors living in the immediate vicinity of
the house have been complaining of the
immortal lie that. Gray and his sister have
been leading for tine last four years, the
woman being in delicate condition before
being killed.
A complaint was lodged with the officers
and. this afternoon, Sheriff Planter and
states Attorney Herbert went over. TO the
residence to make an investigation. Gray
was plowing in the lot near the house and
when he saw the officers approaching he
went TO the house. When they asked to
see his sister Gray refused to permit them
to enter the house. The officers came
back to the city to secure warrant for
their arrest on the charge of incest, and
sent another officer to watch the house.
The officer had barely reached the place
when he heard two shots fired in the
house. Going in. he found the woman
hanging to the rafter and the man lying
on the bed, both dead, There we're no
evidences of a struggle on the part of the
woman and the supposition is, that fearing
arrest meant exposure and term in the
penitentiary. they resolved to die. The
woman was not hung with the idea of sus-
pending animation in that way. for the
cloth did not press on her throat

GAME LAW IN
FORCE JULY |
ReferenderS Lacked 1000 Names
of Having Enough

Watcrtown, S. D., June 8.-The
attempt to hold up the game law
passed by the 1909 South Dakota leg
islature has failed.
With the close of business IN the
office of the secretary of state at
Pierre this afternoon, the time limit
for filing referendum petitions ex-
pired. The petition which had it's
inception with mythical organiza-
tion in Watertown, did not arrive.
1t is understood today that it lacked
about | 900 names Of coming up to
the law requirement of 5 per cent
of the qualified electors of the state.
J. B. Troeh, leader of the move
ment, was asked whether or not he
had sufficient names and whether or
not the petition had been sent to
Pierre. He would make no reply.
The spOrtsmen of South Dakota
find much satisfaction in the out
come of their effort to sustain
game law whose chief object was to
preserve the game through an ade-
quate stop to pot and market hunt
ing. Watertown was the center of
an effort to knock out the law, and
the movement here was Strenuously
opposed by the better class of sports
men.
The influence of the action of the
Watertown hunters spread rapidly,
and without doubt was largely in
strumental in rendering hundreds of
referendum petitions sent out over
the state ineffective. In most Sec
tions of the state public sentiment
became aroused. and the "referen-
ders" could make no headway.
w. F. Bancroft of this city, who
has been appointed game warden
under the new law, will now take
steps to enter upon his duties July
/. For several weeks passed mat
ters pertaining to the office have
been daily referred to Mr. Bancroft,
bit he has been unable to do any
thing because the Office does not
actually exist until the law becomes
effective.
