Attempted Kidnapping

What is believed to have been an
attempt to kidnap the nine-year-old
daughter of James Haskill, was frus-
trated at Washta by friends of Has
kills who learned of the plan in time.
Haskill and his wife are estranged, the
child living with the father on claim
near Wall, east of Rapid City. A
strange woman giving the name of
Mrs. Brown; and saying that she was
from Iowa, rented an automobile at
Rapid City, and was driven to Washta
where she had learned the child had
been taken by friends of the father.
The machine ran close to the little girl
and her guardians and the woman tried
to snatch the child away but was
bested in the ensuing scuffie and
ordered the chauffeur to take her to an
attorneys Office. Later it was learned
that the woman represents the mother
and that a habeas corpus will be
applied for and the question of the
care of the chicd left to to the court.

Kicked by a Horse.

Charles G. Waller, a prominent
Jerauld county farmer, died from
injuries received when he was kicked
in the forehead by horse. The force
of the blow fractured the skull and
drove pieces of the bone into the brain
substance. A physician succeeded in
removing some small pieces of bone
which had been crushed into the brain,
and this left cavity in the forehead
of the unfortunate man four inches
long and one and one-half inches wide
at the largest place. For time after
the accident Mr.. Waller was conscious
and talked of the accident. He suffered
terribly before death came to his relief.
He was AZ years of age and is survived
by widow and five children.

Bullet Found in Sock.

Excitement was created in the farm
ing community southwest of Java Fri
day by an attempt made by Adam
Oster, prominent farmer, to end his
life. Brooding over financial troubles
and during temporary fit of insanity
he shot himself with revolver. For
tunately the bullet struck a rib and
glanced downward, inficting wound
which is not serious. A curious feature
of the attempted suicide was the fact
that the bullet was found in one of his
socks, where it evidently had dropped
after glancing from the rib and leaving
his body.

limited States Court

At Sioux Falls last week a federal
grand jury returned an Indictment
against John H. Conway of Belle
Fourche, and p j. Walsh, of Mime
apolis, on the charge of entering into a
conspiracy to cover up assets in con-
nection with bankruptcy proceedings
instituted in the federal court for
South Dakota against Conway by the
creditors.
After the Indictment was returned,
an attorney representing Walsh filed a
demurI er to the Indictment. This was
based on the allegation that it did not
seth forth specific statements of facts
in connection with the alleged con-
spiracy. Judge Garland sustained it
and ordered that the ease again be pre-
sented to the grand jury, and that
Walsh be kept in custody. Walsh was
arrested in Minneapolis some weeks
ago, and was brought to Sioux Falls
soon afterwards, having since been
kept in Jail there pending action upon
his case by the grand jury.
The grand jury also returned indiet-
ments against several residents of Bon
Homme county on the charge of hax-
ing sold liquor to Indians. There are
seven of these defendants, James

pany them and remain during the win

A lighted cigar and a waste paper
basket at the Office of the Dakota Lum-
Der Company created some excitement
Thursday. A stool and the desk were
considerably scorched and few papers
burned. This is an argument against
using waste paper basket.

One Hundred Years Old

1t is not generally known that the
Black Hills has a resident who is over
100 years old, and yet such is the case.
The individual who bears this distinc-
tinction is Hiram Hart, an interesting
character who lives in the Cold Springs
country, who recently passed through
Mystic on the way to Lead for visit.
He was born Ma rch %, 1910, and is
remarkably well preserved for man
of his age. In fact, he is as spry and
active as many men half his age. He
remembers many interesting occur
ances of the early part of the last
century and is an very entertaining
man to listen to. He has been a resi-
dent of the Cold Springs region for
many years. The old man bids fair to
live five or ten years longer, as he is at
present and in the past has enjoyed
good health, having been sick scarcely
day in his life.

A Blow to Papers

Papers published IN the homestead
country" west of the river claim that
from this time on, under new rulings
of the land department, there is moth
ing further doing in the way of COM
mutation of homestead entries. That
the claimant who takes a homestead
from this time on must reside upon it
and improve it for five years before he
can secure title. This will prevent
many from making filings; but will
assure more permanency to the popu-
lation which does settle down to secure
tracts of land from the government.

No Suffrage For Them.

BY majority of one vote, the reso-
luton indorsing the equal suffrage
amendment to the state constitution to
be voted in the election next month,
was defeated in closing session of the
convention of the Federation of
Women's Clubs of South Dokota at
Aberdeen. The vote was IL to 18. So
great was the surprise of the suffrag-
lists that they insisted onsubmitting the
resolution second time. 1t was done,
with the same result. Nearly a third
of the delegates did not vote, some
having left the floor short time before
and others not participating in the
count. Several of those voting against
the resolution said they did so though
against their personal convictions,
because they were uninstructed by the
clubs they represented.
