EXILED FROM STATE
Miss Russell Who Confessed to Arson
Must Quit State

Sioux FallS--Recently when j. ii.
Hillard, formerly of PipestOne, Minn,
entered a plea of guilty TO the charge
of arson in connection with the burn
ing Of his restaurant at Howard, 5.
d., and was sentenced to term OF
four and One-half years In the Sioux
aFlls penitentiary, where he now is,
it was a matter of considerable spec
ulatiOn as to what would be done with
Miss LonZa Russell. who confessed
that she set fire after Hillard had
promised to pay her SIS and purchase
her a new dress. At the time it was
believed that she would be leniently
dealt with in view Of the fact that she
made a full confession and thus prov
ed that she was simply tool in the
hands of another.
This has proven to be the case, for
on the advice of States Attorney Grua
of Miner county, who with State Fire
Marshal Craft succeeded in securing
the confession. Miss Russell was re-
leased from custody and eXilcd from
South Dakota. She was told to i'm
mediately shake the dust OF the state
from her feet. and this she did with
out delav. Her release and exile was
on condition that she would be ar
rested if she ever was caught on the
soil of South Dakota. IIillard is a
thoroughly repentent man and as
cribes his downfall to whisky and
women. AS an act Of atOnement he
has transferred al his property To his
wife, who yet resides at PipestOne.
