his right name.
Krominga was in q hurry to leave
Presho, and it was not convenient for
Brooks to pay over all the money just
then, but he gave Kruminga 5000
down, and was to deposit the balance
in the bank, subject to krominga's
call or demand.
Then the clippers quietly took the
night train west.
The next day Mr.. Brooks read the
account of the elopement and a de-
scription of the clippers. The descrip-
ton Tailed. He wired the deserted
husband his suspicious and followed
up the wire with a letter of particu-
lars.
The officers dropped the Pierre and
Fort Pierre line and took up the line
west from Presho.

down there awhile in the fight.
So the chief of police of that place

Sure enough, On Wednesday after
noon, Sheriff Tucker and Deputy
Shank got a hot wire from Iro o.
Fisher, chief of police at Idaho Falls,
that he had been arrested Amos

%enroute in the figlt long enough to
sell or mortgage lis land south OF
Fort Pierre to raise money to make
the run to greener fields and &c
found a new home somewhere in the
wild and woody west.
This proved true and gave the clue
to their route and lighting.
About Tuesday noon on the 4th,
when the Lennox officer and her
brother were hot on the trail here at
Parker, the woman and her para
mour were in hiding a few miles west
and preparing to take the early after
noon milwaukee, westbound passen-

They quietly took the train west.
When they reached Presho, the Mil
waukee railroad town nearest his
land, they stopped off and registered
at the hotel as Mr.. and Mrs. Meier.
The next day, Krominga Cor Krum-

of the land dealers, but did not sue

Rev. d. Hartzell, of Chicago, pas
tor Of South Park Avenue Methodist
church, Is in some danger of losing
his position. DR.. Hartzell has been
displaying some interest in matters
pertaining to the good influences
which he thinks should surround the
community In which he lives. He
has commenced a war on driving
the music out of saloons, making the
saloons run on some basis of decency,
and insisting that the laws be COM
piled with in reference to running
the saloons. He realizes the futility
Of closing up the saloons but insists
that they do not dominate everything
they come In contact with. An alder
man Of the city is on the official
board Of the church and he has start
ed q movement to GUST DR.. Hartzell
from the pastorate. He has called
an illegal meeting of the church
board, which took action requesting
the removal of the pastor from the
church. One member of the board
attempted to secur the passage of a
resolution endorsing the work of
Dr. Hartzell In his efforts of moral
ity and decent living, but the other
omcers declined. to pass it, and the
righteous member of the board re-
signed, declaring that he would not
associate withsa set Of alleged chris
tian men who would refuse to pass
. resolution endorsing the; work in
hand. The fight has only begun, and
It will doubtless be carried up to the
Rock River conference of the church.
DR.. Hart1ell's supporters in the
church declare they have sufficient
strength to prevent any such action
and that when the time comes they
Will be there in full strength.

BURKE's FARsEEING PLAN.

Congressman Burke has made a
wise provision In a bill that he has
introduced in the house for the open
ing of a half million acres of land on
the Rosebud reservation, by which
the land is not thrown wholly open
to the benefit of the settlers but that
the public's interests are provided
for In the way of parks and school
that have heretofore been thrown
open to settlers there has been no
provision for public grounds, except
In the ase of the usual sections be-
ing provided for. But when it came
to getting grounds for a park or for
schools they have had to be purchas-
ed. The plan of Congressman Burke
is thus outlined in a Washington dis
patch:
Representative Burke introduce
ed a bill for the opening of a half
million acres of land in the Rosebud
reservation and Senator Gamble Of
fered q bill for opening Pine Ridge
reservation. The Burke bill includes
all the Rosebud reservation in Meyer
and Washabaugh counties north of
the tenth parallel and south of the
Big White river, except Indian al
lotments.
"Mr. Burke has included as a new
feature of his bill the provision that
townsites shall be chosen by the gov
eminent before the state makes its
selection of lands, and that ten acres
of each townsite shall be reserved
for school, park and public purposes.
He also provides that 20 per cent of
the net proceeds from the sale of
land shall be set apart for school
houses and other public buildings
or In the Improvement of townsites.
Another new provision Of the Burke
bill requires the state to select two
other selections in the same township
II the original selections are lost by
allotment. The Burke bill has the
appToVdl Oh Tie lnuldHS, duu III Us Dc
lieved the interior department will
favor it as acceptable to Major Nc
Laughlin.
mr.. Burke has just been advised
by the geological survey that it ex-
poets the report from the three geo.
logists now looking into the mineral
landa in Rock and Chew
enne River reservation to be filed by
July 1. BY the early withdrawal of
mineral lands from settlement it is
certain these two reservations will be
open for registration in the fall and
for filings next spring"

Bright Outlook for
 City of Good Will

After trip of nearly three months during which time he visited num- Der Of the most important cities of the east in the interest of the proposed "City of Good Will" for consumptives northeast of Phoenix, interested scores of prominent parsons in the work and secured pledges aggregating s20. 900, Rev James Allen Geissenger, pastor of the First NJ E Church, returned to Phoenix last evening.
 The Gazette saJs:
 Regarding the general tuberculsr situation, MT Geissenger said today that all the cities oi the east are spending a great deal of money to fight the disease, but there is . general recognition of the fact that climate is an important factor in ombating the great white plague. Physicians and others who have made a study of the subject realize that, all other things being equal. 6 mild and agreeable climate is . great advantage. It is also generally recognized that it is senseless to send consumptives to Arizona without means of support or in the lsst stages of the disease.
