SHOT BY HUNTER WHILE
ENGAGED WITH CHORE

Pierre, S. D., Dec. 12.--While South
Dakota has no record among those
killed by hunting accidents this year,
Paul Kemper, living near Capa, thinks
the state has some careless hunters
just the same.
While doing his chores at his home,
he heard the distant report Of rifle
and went down with a smash in his
mouth. After he had time to take
stock. he found that bullet had cut
his lips and knocked out several of his
teeth. The shot was evidently fired
from long distance with a high power
rifle, and came little bit closer to
adding at least one to the record from
this state than Kemper liked.

COLONEL LINN SPEAKS
OF TROUBLE IN HOME

Canton, s. D., Dec. 12-Colonel Ar
thur Linn, member of the State Sol
diers' Home board, was found at his
place OF business today In the Canton
Leader ONCE. and when asked as to
the outbreak at the home at Hot
Springs. replied that he had heard that
q telegram had been sent to Governor
Vessey, but had paid little attention to
Ii SO far and would await the natural
movement Of the case. He further
said that the trouble grows out of the
infraction OF the rules of the home in
cases where veterans go out and be-
come intoxicated and then return and
make IL unpleasant for the other MEM
bers OF the institution by their drunk
en- orgies. His position appears to be
that as every case has been investi-
gated on its merits, there is nothing
for the board to do at this time except
to await the action of the governor in
case the latter sees fit to make a special
investigation, in which event the board
will be ready to appear and answer for
it's actions.
The colonel claims that there are in
terests outside OF the home in Hot
Springs which seek constantly to rob
the home and run the management and
when they find that they can do Meth
er. they are ready TO precipitate any
kind OF turmoil that may possible az
feet the standing of the board and
commandant before the people of the
state.

MARY BAKER EDDY'S
SON OPERATES POOL
. HALL IN LEAD CITY
Glover Wears Miners Boots and
Rough Clothes and Quarrels
With Neighbors.

Lead, s. D., Dec. 107-"Mr. Glover is
in no state to discuss what ne intends
to do about his mothers estate" de-
clared Mrs. George w. Glover. wife OF
the only son OF the dead Christian
Science leader, Mrs. Mary Baker Clio
yer Eddy. ''Mr. Glover is not In good
health" she continued. He is natur--
ally nervous and is subject to heart
trouble and the unexpected news Of his
mothers death has completely UNI
nerved him; in fact, he should not
have made the trip east at this time.
But for the fact that we are remodel
ing our home / should have accom-
panied him east. but i expect to join
him later"
The home mentioned is the $4,000
domicile, one of the handsomest in
Lead. given Mr.. Glover by his mother
some years ago. 1t Is plainly fur
nished and in II the Glover family has
lived plainly and unostentatiously. Mr.
Glover himself Is quite character in
the Hills. He Is picturesque, in APP
pearance, almost always attired in
rough clothes and long mining cow
hide boots.
Glover Is not a believer in the re-
ligious theories of his mother in fact
belonging to no church, but has never
criticised her beliefs.
Two years ago when the famous SET
Element with Glover on his suit was
announced, Glover steadily declined to
give out particulars beyond saying that
the suit was settled. After his returis
from the east he paid many outstand-
ing bills and opened up small candy
and pool room store on Main street in
this city, at which he is now making n
fair living. He still takes an active
interest in mining and in developing
his ground, and is a firm believer in
its possibilities.
Glover Is Eccentric.
Glover is eccentric and usually de-
termined in his ways. He rules his
family with n kindly but firm hand
and his word is law. That he is UNI
able to keep on good bushes terms
with those he deals with is shown b.N
the fact that for many years he has
never been without some litigation in
the local courts, even his local at
torney suing him for fees in the next
friend case. This last suit was COM
promised by Glover.
Ever since the settlement with Clio
yer he has been exceptionally uncom-
municative as to the financial side Of
the question. Recently he was asked
by an attorney as to how much he re-
ceived in settlement. He at first de-
clined to answer, but later admitted
privately that he had received in trust
for his children about $4,000, the in
terest of which they were to receive.
He implied, but did not state in so
many words, that this sum was given
IN return for an agreement not to con-
test the suit.
