ROSS AFFINITY
CASE TERMINATES
IN ENFORCEMENT
Editor Of 500 Critic Holds All
the Cards and Wins Her
Freedom.

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 19.-After a
series OF sensational exposures of the
wholesale affinity business propagated
by her husband, j. A. Ross, at one
time prominent in the councils OF the
democratic party in this state, Mrs.
Maggie M. Ross, present editor OF the
500 Critic, has been granted a divorce.
The case acquired considerable no
toriety through the publication by
Mrs. Ross in the Critic of letters from
q former school teacher in the state
to her husband, accompanied by a pic
ture of the affinity, both the letters and
the picture having been secured from
j. A. Ross inside vest pocket or some
other questionable place of conceal
ment which was not proof against
the sharp eyes of a jealous woman.
Letters from another affinity also
played a part in the wreck of the
Ross household idols. In the latter
case the writer asked Ross to desert
his wife and family n let her care
for him until he could return the
compliment and car for her.
Ross has been conspicuous by his
absence the past six months and has
proceedings.
In addition to notoriety gained
through her incessant warfare with
George w. Egan, the disbarred attor-
ney, who was connected with the
Kaufman case, Mrs. Ross has recently
had the experience of having her dues
to the local w. C. #. u. returned to
her with the statement that she could
not be retained as a member of that
organization. This matter has not yet
been settled.

onds was made today by Glenn H.
Curt1ss In his aeroplane over the Hem
stead plains course for the cup Of

There was no fog this morning. but
the breeze was too strong for ideal con-
ditions and 1t ~freshened as the day adj
vanced. The speed Of the long flight
was comparatively slow, about % miles

This flight is not only Curtiss' best,
but the longest made with an aero,,
plane in America this year. The cup

fered for the longest flight of his kin
during the current year.. the only con-
dillon being that the winner must COW

quired distance, but the judges decided
that he had complied with all the terms
of the competition.
He will win the Scientific American
cup, which he also captured last year
at Hammo-ldsport, N. Y, unless his
fight is excelled before the end of the

Colony With Picaninny Pilot

Sioux Falls. 8. D.. July 2o.--With a
little negro urchin casting the MY
shadow along their pathway, w. F.
Porter, OF Chicago, and Miss Mabel
;Deane, OF Cedar Rapids, Ia, after es-
Gaping the social demands Of a public
wedding, made their way to the court
house here after buying a wedding out
ut IN a downtown store and were mar
,ried by the county Judge.
There was no parental objection to
the marriage, but, on the other hand,
there We're dresses galore and invita-
tons almost without number. with a
church ceremony planned and a pub
lie reception and dinnerss and lunches
and showers" and a round aof
'~fatiguing gaiety in prospect. The
young people saw no avenue OF escape
except through an elopement, and nat
urally concluded That the place where
divorces are issued while one waits

without waiting. In this city they were
not disappointed.
Tho little negro boy happened to
glance knowingly at them as they
aitghted from the train; they seized
MIN as a mascot" and it was he who
plotted them to the dress emporium,
to the court house, to the grill room
OF the hotel, and was photographed in
the group with them just before they
left for a visit at Iowa Falls, Ia.

MAY BE MURDER
INSTEAD OF SUICIDE

Aberdeen, S. D., July 17.-The be-
lief is expressed by the police here
that Tim Thomas, who died Thursday
evening from a revolver wound in the
stomach, may have been murdered in
stead Of shooting himself.
Thomas survived the shooting two
one-half hours and was conscious
part of the time, but said nothing to
lead to the conclusion that he had been
murdered.
The range of the bullet causes the
police to believe it could not nave been
self inflicted and there were no DOW
der marks on his clothing as would
probably have been the case had The
man shot himself.

HERDER
IS MYSTERIOUSLY
KILLED ON RANGE
Victim Is Shot in Two Places
and Wagon Burned-Was
Stranger in Community.

J Edgernont, S. D., July 17.-Albert
Gordon. a herder for Ross Lambert,
was shot and killed some time on Mon
dav, and the wagon in which were ms
supplies was burned to the ground.
mber heard of the burning OF the
wagon. and went out to see his herder.
He found his sheep scattered, ana upon
driving them to the feeding ground dls-
covered the body of the herder, wv
yards from h wagon.
A posse was organized and went out
from town at night: The coroner was
sent for and found a bullet hole In
Gordon's body, running from the right
side to the left. A bullet was also found
In his left elbow.
The theory is that Gordon saw the
wagon burning and went to see who
had started the fire, and was then shot
down. No clue has been found so Tar.
rho ~coroner's jury returned a verdict
Of death from bullet wounds, lnf1lcted
by unknown persons.
Gordon had only worked for Lambert
eight days, and was a stranger to ev-
cry one. III murder is classed as a
most cowardly one. The sheep were
grazing on government land, n there
were no farms very close. h au-
thorities are close mouthed, and the
sheriff is hunting clues that will prob
ably lead to an arrest 1t is expected
the county will offer a big reward.
The murder is supposed to be a re-
newal of the old feud between sheep
and cattlemen, but there vas no evil
dence submitted at the c%oroner's in
quest that would throw any light or
the affair. The wagon had been put
in it's place or Monday, hut the ground
was so dry and hard that tracks could
not be seen, and the wind was blowing
a gale at the time.

REvOLvERS FOUND
WHERE BURIED BY
The ACCUSED MAN
Victor Gives Information That
Leads to Finding of Guns
Used in Murder.

Aberdeen, S. D., July 2i.-Two re-
eolvers whose whereabouts We're re-
vealed to the officers by a prisoner con-
fined In the county Jail with Emil Vic
tor. the accused murderer of the Chris
tie family, were found a mile north of
Mellette, 20 PAGES from the mile post,
where they had been buried in a and
kerchief.
One of the revolvers is a 41-caliber,
which is the size with which the shoot
ing was done; the other is smaller and
has been partially identified as the
property of Mr.. Christie.
With the finding of the r%evolvers and
the information said to have been given
by Victor to his fellow prisoner, the
chain of evidence against Victor is
practically complete.
The caliber of the revolver supposed
to be the one with which Victor shot
his victims corresponds with the size
of the exploded shells found in the
house where the two women were
killed.
