Ble GAMES COMING
Wesleyan to Meet Gopher Aggies in
January-Games With Aberdeen
and Vermillion.

- ~A
The lovers of basket ball in Mitch
ell will probably have, both January
or February, an opportunity to wit
ness some fast games between the
University and outside teams from
other colleges. At least two of last
seasons best men have been embaras-
sed by being on the recent interso-
ciety debate, but with that obstacle
out of the way, both have promised
to be out for practice and will be
seen in uniform in the later games of
the eason
The Minnesota Aggies at Mime
apolis have written down for a game
after the holidays during a trip on
which they will swing around this
way. The matter was Immediately
taken up but nothing definite has
been done. 1t is understood that
they have a game scheduled with
the Aberdeen Normal and would like
to meet Wesleyan should arrange
ments be perfected. The Gopher team
is a fast aggregation and their pos
sible advent here should be of con-
siderable interest to the followers
of the indoor game.
Coach Young of Aberdeen, in writ
ing down for a date in January,
makes the statement that in prev
ious seasons there has generally been
some misunderstanding as to the
holder of the basket ball champion
ship, but in order that the title will
be clear this season the management
at Aberdeen is going to arrange a
trip and tentative schedule on which
they will meet Mitchell, Yankton and
Vermillion. Later they will play
Huron and Brookings, thus includ-
ing all of the principal schools of the
state. Evidently there is no doubt
in the mind of the ex-Oxford man
up north who will win out. ,
Vermillion seems very desirous of
a game this year, having written to
secure one before Christmas. This
is obviously impossible but at least
two games will be played, n in each
of the two University cities. Coach
Whittemore has a number of fast
football men who should do equally
we'll on a gymnasium floor in basket
ball toys.

Marvin Payne and Charles Daniels
Z two fellow laborers who have
been working on the ditch for
Fsnebust & Son. They have been
rooming at the Western hotel prac-
tically all of the time since the work
commenced, and they each seemed
to have confidence in the other.
Daniels, however, proved t . be the
traitorous friend, when he ROBBED
his roommate of $1.10O. which ne
had concealed in his trunk in the
hotel. This morning to Sheriff Plot
mel Daniels finally admitted that he
had touched his friend for the amount
but denied that he had any of the
money left.
The man Daniels has been laying
on from work for a little while, and
four or i've days ago he went to the
First National bank and deposited a
draft for $500 drawn on the First
National bank of Aberdeen, and one
for $500 drawn On the national bank
at Mclean, Ill, the drafts being is-
sued, In the name Of Marvin Payne.
Daniels was paid a small amount Of
money on the 5000 draft and It wal
sent 70 Aberdeen for cashing, the
Aberdeen institution being informed
not to cash the draft unless the sig
natures had been verified. It was
cashed, however, and the amount
placed to the credit of Daniels in the
FirltlNstiSnal Of this city. For q
week Daniels has been spending non

he paid $111 for two diamond rings
and paid for them by check. which
the jewler cashed before turning over
the goods. At Metcalf's Daniels late
Wednesday afternoon bought about
$40 worth of clothing, but the banks
were closed and Mr.. Metcalt declined
to cake the check and he ksrt the
goods.
During the latter part of Wednes-
day afternoon Daniels called al the
Western hotel and left So for Payne,
who did not understand that Daniels
! had any money at all. This lead to
an investigation of his own property
in the room and he discovered that
Payne had stolen the 2 drafts. The
situation was explained to Sheriff Plot
ner and he commenced investigation
and found that Daniels had bought
a ticket to st. Paul, and left On The
afternoon train, Or supposed that he
had. Payne worked in connection
with the sheriff and watched the night
trains, and to his surprise Daniels
came back to the city on the midnight
passenger from the north, and the
superstition was that he intended to
hang around here until word had
been received from the Mclean draft,
get the money on that and then ship
out for good.
When Payne saw his roommate he
nabbed him and called an officer and
he was taken up to the county .!ail.
This morning Sheriff Plotner ques-
toned Daniels about the matter and
he confessed to the fact that he had
taken the drafts, although when first
arrested he denied all connection with
the situation. When searched Dan
iels had only 90 cents on his person,
but his bank book shows that he had
1926 on deposit at the First National
and which he was trying to get rid
of as fast as possible. Daniels claims
that since he got the return of the
money from Aberdeen he has been
doing quite a good deal of gambling.
and that the greater part Of the mon
ey has gone across the green cloth in
the game Of chance.
It was something Of a revelation to
Payne to learn that his partner had
been robbing him Of his money. for
they had been more or less friendly,
and he had little suspicion that he
was entertaining any such q man.
The robbery had occurred four OF
I'VE days before there was any sus-
picion on the part of Payne. Had
Daniels not left the small amount Of
money at the hotel for Payne, the
chances are that he could have got
away with the other draft, on which
no return had as yet been made.
The examination of Daniels will
not be held until Saturday afternoon.

%!FI1zMAuRIcE ONCE AGAIN
Former Chamberlain Episcopal Min
lister is Heard From Again
This Time in Washington,

Oacoma, Dec. 21.-A dispatch of
recent date from Spokane, Wash,
stating that Judge Edward Whitson
of the United States court for the
district of eastern Washington had
denied the application for citizenship
of Maurice O. Fitzmaurice, was of
peculiar interest to the residents of
this part of South Dakota, for the rea-
son that prior to going to the state
OF Washington ~Fitzmaurice was a
resident of various towns in this reg
ion. The first known of him here
was when he arrived at Chamberlain,
across the Missori river from here,
and assumed the duties of rector of
the Episcopal church in that city. 1t
afterwards developed that he had
secured the assignment by means Of
forged papers, which he represented
to the Rt. Rev. William Hobart Hare,
Episcopal bishop of South Dakota,
who as soon as he learned of the inn
position which had been practiced up
on him, cancelled the appointment
and Fitzmaurice retired from the
ministry. His rectorship, brief as it
was was a stormy one, for it was not
long before he became involved in a
difficulty with some of the most in
f~1uential members of this flock, and
had he remained in Chamberlain a
little longer he would have during
church service addressed nothing but
the rectorship of the church at Cham
bellain was at about the time the Mil
waukee railroad commenced building
its inc from Chamberlain through
Oacoma to the Black Hills, and FitG-
maurice drifted to Oacoma, AMI later
to other towns west of here along
the new railroad. His career in the
towns in this part of the country was
a stormy one, and it was only at brief
intervals that he was not involved In
difficulties with some one. His rec
ord was so unsavory that had he re-
NAMED a short time longer he would
have been ridden out of towns on a
rail. When he left here he drifted
to Idaho and Washington and was
not in the far west very. long before
he became involved in other difficult
ties it being a matter of record that
he had been arrestel on several ser,
ious charges. 1t was because of these
charges and arrests that Judge Whit
son refused to admit him to citizen
ship. The opinion OF those mere who
knew him we'll is inst he should be
departed out of the country as a.

Mitchell Woman.
Mitchell Woman.

Mitchell Woman.
Sioux Falls Argus Leader: 7. f..
Strike, a conductor on the Omaha
road, running between Sioux Falls
and Mitchell has disappeared and so
has a Mitchell woman named Jones,
and it is understood that they have
gone together.
Strike has been a freight con-
ductor on the Omaha for a number
of years and his run of late has bean
between Sioux Falls and Mitchell. He
has had his lay-overs at the other
end of the route and there is where
he became acquainted with the wo-
man with whom it is claimed that
he has become infatuated and has
skipped out.
Last week MI. Strike Informed
Mrs. Strike that he had a splendid
chance to make a piece of money On
a real estate deal. He had no ready
money and the only way that he
could raise the money necessary to
go into the real estate deal was
through putting a mortgage on the
Strike home on South Duluth avenue.
Mrs. Strike was finally induced to
accompany her husband to Salem
where ne made arrangements to bor-
row the money. Here she signed a
mortgage on the home for $4,000.
Strike pocketed the money and Mrs.
Strike returned to Sioux Tails. Last
Friday Strike made his run to Mitch
ell as usual, and should have left
Mitchell Saturday for Sioux Falls.
When 1t came time for the train to
leave Strike could not be located and
it was later learned that he had left
the city, and it is claimed that the
Jones woman went with him.
Strikes attention to Mrs. Jones
who is the wife Of a man who has
been singing at the moving picture
shows through the state, has been
noticed for some time and fellow
workmen have warned him of the
consequences. .
"Mrs. Strike does not know where
the couple has gone, but she is maxi
ing every effort possible to locate
Them and when found she will prose-
cute both of them to the full extent
of the law"
The Argus-Leader has made a mis-
take In the name of the woman, and
although it is known to The Republl-
can there Is 20 authority for connect
ing her name with the elopment, for
nothing can be absolutely substan-
tiated.
Mrs. Strike was In Mitchell several
days last week trying to get some
trace of her husband, and endeavor-
ing to have the officers here get out
a warrant for his arrest on the charge
of adultery. Sheriff Plotner made all
the investigation possible but could
not connect the departure of the
two people with each other sufficient
ly to issue a warrant. The husband
has been here from Sioux Falls try
ing to get some trace of his departing
wife, but up to the present time he
has been unsuccessful.
When Conductor Strike left this
city he turned his morning freight
run over to his brakeman and told
him to run the train to Sioux Falls,
and the poor brakeman becomes a
loser in the elopment. When he
reached Sioux Falls with the train
it is reported that the superintendent
had an order waiting there for him to
the effect that he was discharged
from the company.
