successful only in regions where

This is Dream of South Dakota
Inventor of New Kind of
Boat.

PIERRE S. D., March 7.-(Special.)-
The 'aquaplane, with which S. M Howard
OF Gettysburg, expects to revolutionize
navigation on the rivers Of the country,
is now all ready to launch as soon as the
ice goes out of the river, and Mr.. Howard
expects to make a trip to Pierre from For
est City, as soon as he can safely get his
craft in the river. He says his present
model is a small one, and he does not ex-
pect to be able to make more than sixteen
miles an hour with 1t. but 1t is suffi-
cient to test his theory of water transpor-
tation. If the model makes good his belief
is that a boat OF larger capacity and
greater power will far exceed it in speed
and even get up to- sixty miles an hour.
Mr.. Howard, who is president Of the
Gettysburg Commercial club has been at
work on his model for a long time, n
believes he has thoroughly solved the mat
ter Of water transportation. That IL his
theory OF water propulsion is sound, he
can carry passengers or freight from
Pierre to st, Louis in thirty hours by river
which would exceed railroad time, and
would allow their transportation at a much
lower rate than by railways,
Mr.. Howard will be at the river meet
ing here the last OF this month with his
boat, and win show what It can do in the
way of travel. The principle on which he
depends IS the stern paddle" wheel, re-
inforced by a series Of small paddles on
an endless chain running under the hui
of the boat. These paddles carrying the
boat along on the surface Of the water
instead Of attempting to force It through
the water causing friction and loss OF

The matter in the maIshafs office had
consumed less than five minutes e.
When Or. Hyde appeared before Judge
Latshaw, Attorney Walsh waived the Uead-
Ing Of the Indictment Then a discussion
Of tho trial date was had Both sides
said they were ready TO begin within a
week. April II was soon decided upon
and Prosecutor Conkllng said that all

The court was not satisfied to accept
the old bond Of $4,000 and he ordered that
the prisoner be taken TO jailuntl 10 o'clock

He said that he would mark Lillis for
life il he did not let his family alone. That
was some weeks ago, and those who knew
both men were not greatly surprised at
what happened Sunday night.
II do not think that Mr.. Cudahy lacked
confidence in his wife in any way. He only
seemed to resent the attitude Of Mr.. Lilis.
Lillis is a man OF wealth and a bachelor,
and some think that he was just 'butting
in"
The Kansas City club men were not UNI
prepared to hear of the affair, according to
Mr.. Written, who is in touch with that
circle.
General and Mrs. John c. Gown, parents
Of Mrs. John p. Cudahy, left for Kansas

Cudahy had been filed in the prosecutors
office.
Maid Describes Scene.
John Moss. the Cudahy chauffeur. who
was with Mr.. Cudshy during the affair
last night, was not to be found today.
A maid was the only one who would ap-
pear at the Cudahy home in answer to
rings at the door bell. She said she knew
nothing Of the whereabouts of Moss.
The maid. telling Of the affair, said she
came down the stairs on hearing the noise
Of the scuffle in the parlor. She saw a
man stretched out on the floor with a rope
about his neck and about his feet. The
mans body was nearly stripped Of cloth
ing, she said. His body was bare from the
waist down. Just as the maid arrived at
the foot OF the stairs Moss, she says. was
pulling on the rope about the neck of the
man on the floor and as soon as Moss saw
her standing there he came and pointed
a revolver in her face. She then, she said,
ran back to her room and saw no more.
Mr.. C=aaHy nLu o. SATURDAY evening, the
maid said, signtfied his intention Of going
up town to attend a political meeting. Mr..
Cudahy left the house, but returned, ana
with his chauffeur remained about the
yard, both having removed their shoes.
Bryan Underwood. the patrolman who re-
sponded to the call to the Cudahy home.
and who later accompanied Mr.. Cudahy to
the police station, declined to talk of the
case today.
Frank F. Snow, acting chief Of police,
made public Underwood's report as made
to him. Underwood told of being called
to the Cudahy home at 1880 Sunday MORN
ing and of finding Lillis lying on the floor,
bound and, wounded. Cudahy had ex-
planned Lillis' condition, the officer said.
by saying that Lillis was an intruder in
the Cudahy home. Lillis was partly dis
robed and a part of his clothing was lying
on the floor near him. DR.. Samuel Ayers,
who reached the house ahead Of the off
GER, had said that Hills was not danger-
ously wounded.
