Was Good Cleanup.

The fall cleanup of the Pittsburg
Mining company at Placerville, is
very satisfactory to all concerned. 1t

Man Charged With Double
Murder Admits to it
When Called.
he WAS READY FOR TRIAL At FORT PIERRE
He Murdered Wm. Toney and Chas.
Simmons Near Kadoka Threw
Bodies ia Deserted Well.

In the circuit court for Stanley
county at Fort Pierre Tuesday Isaac
McCoun changed his plea from not
guilty to guilty on the charge of muir
dering William Toney and Charles
Simm ons, OF Sioux City, near Kadoka
last June, while travelling through
the country in a wagon.
There was no confession on the part
of McCoun. When arrested last une
McCoun admitted the killing, but
claimed self defense, regardless of the
fact that both victims were killed by
having the back of their heads crush
ed with an ak or some like instru-
ment. Since that time he has made
no statement in regard to it. When
taken into court on Monday he refused
to make any plea whatever, but sat
looking at the floor. He was given
until the next day to make plea and
then pleaded not guilty. Tuesday he
was brought into court for the trial
and changed his plea from not guilty
to guilty, but made no further state
ment.
M'CoUN's STORY OF KILLING.
McCoun was captured several days
after the dual murder at Cottonwood,
S. d. For some hours after being
captured he would make no state
ment, but finally told the following
story about the killing: Simmons and
Toney owned breaking outfit to-
gether, and ON the 26th of May he
bought them out. Simmons came to
town and upon returning got into q
quarrel with McCoun and grabbed a
neckyoke and started for him, but
McCoun got club and knocked him
down. Then Toney, seeing the trou-
BILE, came over where they were and
chased MCoun around the wagon with
q pitchfork, when the latter struck
him down and killed him with an ak.
He then wrapped Toney in blanket
and threw him into the well and Sim
mons in on top. The ak with which
he did the deed he threw into the
creek near the well.
HAD CHECKERED CAREER.
McCoun's career after leaving Ka-
doka was rather checkered and tinged
slightly with frenzied finance. Sim
mons had bank account in bank
at Sioux City, his bank book showing
a balance of $780, This McCoun is
alleged to have raised to $4,000 and
checked against 1T in Simmons name.
He made a start by purchasing $40
acres of land adjoining town, a build
ing used for pool hall and a harness
shop, all of which he paid for by
check. He sold a team and wagon
and took note and mortgage for the
same, and loaned party 800. In all
his purchases amounted to over 81, 900.
He also had been to Quinn and se-
cured a aquantity of new harness which
Simmons had shipped there, it being
Simmons intention to start a shop
there later.

THE DRAWING CHNCEs.

"! u! aturday night the registration for
1 Lnces to draw farms of 100 acres
4 6h from the $4,000 farms which
lcle Sam has to distribute among
mesteaders in the ceded portions of
Cheyenne River and Standing
bck Indian reservations came to an
ID, the date for the registration hav-
g been fixed by proclamation of
( resident Taft from October to %.
r. Instead of 100000 persons register
hg as was originally expected in some
uarters, the number is about $4,000,
but this will result to the benefit Of
$bose who have registered, for they
stand a better percentage winning
arms when the drawing takes place.
The falling off in the number regis
atering is due to several causes, one of
kthem being the comparatively high
sprice which home seekers who draw
farms will have to pay per acre for
5the land embraced in the farms to be
distributed.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
The drawing took place in the audi
storium at Aberdeen, and sips were
Pdrawn by little Josephine Burke and
Miss Jeanette Hedger. A hugh plat
form was erected in the auditorium
upon which all envelopes containing
names we've. placed and thoroughly
mixed. The drawing commenced at
10 o'clock in the forenoon and is be-
ing done publicly. The two little
girls designated for the purpose take
| their places in the huge pile of enyel-
kopes, and the envelopes are selected
Islngly and indiscriminately and open
led as selected, and the applications
Econtained therein are numbered in
the order in which the envelopes are
selected. The numbers thus assigned
fix and determine the order in which
the applicants will be permitted latel
TO select the lands they desire and pre-
ssnt their filings therefor. As fast a
the envelopes are drawn they are op
ened and the name contained thereir
annohnced to the assembled crowd b!

loaded was found in his breast. His
mother explained that in her excite
ment she had removed the revolver
and placed the wrong weapon on her
sons body. FrCm an adjoining room

1t is not absolutly true that
manners maketh man." but it is
true that they make him better,
more agreeable and more influential
for good. Yet there are many peo-
pie, both men and women, who are
sadly deficient in manners, especial
ly in that courtesy and considerate-
ness which acts as a gracious lubri-
cant in social life. Perhaps in most
cases it is matter of thoughtless-
ness rather than Of intent, but all
the same it is responsible for much
friction and pain.

WEALTH TO POVERTY
NO MONEY IN SIGHT, AMERICAN
KILLED HIMSELF.
Had Been Living in Affluence, But
the Tide Turned and When Wife
Refused Help, He Died.

Refused Help, He Died.
There is a sad story behind the
suicide at Versailles, France, OF Ed
ward Sandford, well known lawyer
ward Sandford, a we'll knowl lawyer
of New York. AS a young man ne
married Ella. Hoffman, daughter OF
the late Gov. John T. Hoffman, OF
New York.
From the beginning his married
life was unhappy, and several years
ago ne came to Paris, where for a
time he was one of the leaders OF
the American colony. His brother
Lewis, lived here with him. Edward
Sandford often rode in the gentlemen
races at Longchamps and he was one
of the founders of the fashionable
Laboulie Golf club.
Mrs. Sandford was rich in her own
right, but the couple were unhap-
Nv, and several years ago Sandford
secured a divorce and obtained the
custody of his daughter. Since that
time he had kept up appearances, but
he led a more or less precarious ex-
istance.
Mrs. Sandford, who resumed her
maiden name and who is living in
Paris, has claimed that Sandford
pursued her for money, while Sand
ford alleged that his former wife,
who is said to enjoy an annual in
come of $4,000, did not keep to
the arrangement by which she was
to provide for the daughter.
The daughter is at present at
Wiesbaden. Of recent months, Mr..
Sandford had been living in seclusion
in the hotel at Versailles where ne
killed himself. In providing for
himself and his daughter his re-
sources had become completely ex-
hausted.
A few days ago the proprietor OF
the hotel, to whom he owed $3.50,
threatened to put hi mout into the
street unless he paid. Appeals were
made through third parties both to
his former wife and to his brother,
Lewis, but no response came, and
is is presumed that in fit of desper-
alton Sandford decided to take his
own life.

JUDGES OPINION.
Railroad Mileage Regulation Upheld
by Hines.

Upon the request of the Georgia
State Railroad Commission, Special
Attorney James K. Hines has given
an interesting opinion in regard to
the complaints made by the travelling
public as to the exchange Of mileage
book coupons for straight tickets
at railway agencies. Attorney Hines
holds that the railroads regulation
for the preservation and exchange of
coupons for mileage is entirely rea-
sonable.
Attorney Hines was asked by the
Commission to furnish an opinion up
on the right of common carrier
to expel a passenger, who had failed
to comply with it's regulation, re-
quiring the exchange Of mileage cou-
pons for ticket.
Attorney Hines says that carriers
of passengers may eject from their
| conveyances all persons refusing to
comply with reasonable regula-
tions. He says that the present
mileage book arrangement is rea-
sonable, because the purchaser en-
ters into a contract with the railway
company selling the mileage book
One of the terms of the contract is
that coupons from these mileage
books will not be honored on trains
except at non-agency points or at
station agencies not open for the
sale of the tickets.
The purchaser, says Attorney
Hines, gets reduced rate and he is
bound by the terms of the specia
contract. He says in conclusion thai
the arrangement has already beer
submitted to and approved by the
State Railroad Commission.-Atlants
