UNABLE TO GET TRIAL.
Governor Vessey Asked to Act in Case
Of James c. Langstrom.

Pierre. S. d.. Aug. 2O.-Fred Huston,
l.. l.. Lloyd, ]. ID. Hacker and w. j.
Hooper, were a party of Gregory coun-
ty people who were here for a con-
ference with Governor Wesley in re-
gard to the case of James c. Lang
strom, Gregory county citizen, who
is held in Arkansas on a charge of
murder. He was taken to that state
by detectives, who were hunting the
murderer for large reward which
was offered, and who claim to have
the evidence to convict Langstrom of
the crime.
1t appears that the parents of the
accused man, with a brother are liv-
ing on claims in Gregory county, and
have asked assistance. The murder
with which he is charged was com
mitted in Arkansas on March 8, and
the Gregory county people claim that
Langstrom was at Dallas on the
evening of that day, and attended the
Masonic lodge at that time; that he
was not only at Dallas that day but
had been there for several days before
and after the date. In June applica
ton was made to Governor Wesley
for a requisition in regular form, and
as there was no request for an appear
ance, the detectives went to Gregory
county, and secured their man, hurry
ing him out of the state.
Since that time the Gregory county
men claim that they have had repre-
sentatives in Arkansas at several
times to testify for Langstrom, but
have not been able to get his case
before the grand jury, and they asked
the assistance of the governor in help
ing to get hearing.

To Save Life of a Boy.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Sullivan, en-
route from Minot, n. D., to New Mex

over bad roads. The couple have
their three children with them, two
sons and daughter. Johnny Sulli-
van, the 11.year-old son, is suffering
from tuberculosis and it is for his life
the trip is being made. The physl-
clans two years ago gave up all hope
of saving him and gave him but two
weeks to live. AS the last resort MT.
Sullivan took to outdoor living and
in this way kept his son alive, but the
long winters in North Dakota forced
him indoors and he is now slowly
making his way to New Mexico where
he believes he can keep his son alive
by continuing outdoor living.
Little Johnny is we'll taken care Of
by his mother. He is fitted out with
a soft berth on the floor OF the coy-
cred wagon and when seen lying on
his soft bed, he looked comfortable.
His younger brother was also en-

Bankers Face Germs.

While much has been said about
medical students being in danger of
disease and illness from the effects
of dissecting and probing germs to
| further medical science, it is said by
one Norfolk physician that bank cash
! iers and clerks who handle money
are in just as much danger. Scarlet
fever, diphtheria. smallpox, boil and
Carbuncle germs find a haven in
much of the paper money and those
who handle it are subject to these
diseases, it is said. The scarlet fever
germs have been known to exist and
live in one place for seventy years, af-
ter which a. produced an epidemic,
says this physician.
On the counting table of the Ne.
braska National. the Norfolk National
and the Citizens National banks of
! this city, can be seen most every day
large bundle of mutilated silver
and gold certificates and national
bank notes. These the cashier has
picked out of the paper money
brought in that day.
After about $500 worth of it has
accumulated he sends it to the bank s
correspondent at Omaha or to the as
sistant secretary f the treasury in
Washington, to be exchanged for new
money. This mutilated money, say
the bankers, carries most of the
germs. 1t has been everywhere and
worn on almost every part of the
human body.
Look at this bundle, will your
said L. p. Pasewalk, cashier of the
Norfolk National bank yesterday.
Isn't it an awful dirty looking thing ?
It's lot of money, but isn't it dirty?
Ten minutes after | handle it, l never
fail to wash my hands with some
good germ killing soap.
1t was a dirty" looking bundle
about $500 worth of one, two. five, ten
and twenty dollar notes, some torn
in three and as many as four pieces,
and some worn so thin that they
could almost be used for window
lights. Others were so dirty that the
signature of the bank official could
not be read.
At the Nebraska National, Cashier
w. P. Logan exhibited bundle
equally mutilated and looking just
as able to hold an equal number of
germs. How it got that dirty every
one knows. 1t was hid away in an
old sock under a mattress for many
years, then up in a chimney or buried
The last bundle which arrived at the
Norfolk National, however, had a
more interesting experience. 1t was
brought in by cowboy from the west
a few days ago. The cowpuncher had
it neatly wrapped around his leg
he had ridden for many miles horse
back, and to save himself from being
robbed, should he meet a "holdup,
he tied it that way. "A .LghwaymaI
