WOMAN KILLS HUSBANDS
FORMER LAW PARTNER

Sturgis, S. D., Aug. S.-FOllOWtng the
snooting here Saturday of Attorney
David P. Thomas by Mrs. NJ Mcmahon.
widow Of his former law partner, the
woman, who is in custody, appears to
be in a stupOr from which it is diff
hCult to arouse ner.
When asked why she shot Thomas,
she replied that she never intended to
shoot him and did not know that the
gun would go off as 1t did. Mrs. Nc
Mahon is constantly attended by a
nurse. Her hearing will be held
Thursday. The funeral of the dead at
torney was held here this afternoon
under the direction of the Fraterna
Order of Eagles, of which he was
member.
Mrs. McMahon's grievance against
Thomas is said to be the result of dis
agreement over the settlement of the
affairs OF the partnership formerly
existing between the two men, which
was terminated about two months ago
by the death of Mcmahon. Thomas was
well known over the state, having
made a race against Granville Jones, Of
Chamberlain, for state senator two
years ago. and was the nominee under
the recent primaries for county Judge
or Meade county.

CAPTAIN OF GUARDS
RESIGNS POSITION

Waterfowl, S. D., Aug. 5.-Refusing
to comply with the wish of the ma
jority Of the officers of the South Da-
kota National Guard. as expressed by
majority vote in a special meeting
called on pay day at Camp Roosevelt,
as to the disposition of his pay for at
tending officers school, Captain O. II.
Blake, of Company F, of WATERFOWL,
resigned. Left without a commanding
officer, the company could not take the
trip TO Sparta, Wis, for the purpose of
attending the regular army maneuvers.
Trouble arose over the refusal of
Captain Blake to permit his pay to be
turned into the treasury Of the Officers
Clubhouse association, a corporation
whose stockholders are largely officers
or the guard. This company last year
built and operated a clubhouse on the
shore of Lake Kampeska on ground
adjoining the military reserve. The
close of business left a deficit and
Adtutant General Englesby planned to
replenish the treasury by using the
pay of the officers this year and issuing
In return more stock in the corpora

The adjutant general. now in Sparta,
Is said to have issued a circular to the
ofncers making the plan clear before

SUFFRAGE LEADERS NAME
led REPORTER INTO TROUBLE

Rapid City, S. D., Aug. 2.-Because
her name conceded with the names OF
the principals in recent sporting
event Of renown, a suffraget here lost
her temper and local reporter MS
Job.
Mrs. Jeffries, Of Fort Pierre, recent
ly made an address here on the sub
iect Of the ballot for women. Far from
being an aggressive, pugilistic sort OF
suffrage worker Mrs. Jeffries Is dis
tinctly a home maker. Her life has
been spent on a farm which has made
the family rich. and she Is proud or
the fact that she has reared eight sons
and a daughter, all grown and all resi-
dents of South Dakota.
But these facts were overlooked by
an over enthused reporter when he
learned that the front name of Mrs.
Jeffries' husband is Johnson. MIS-.
Johnson Jeffries-the name got on his
nerves-and when he was detailed to
write her meeting for the Rapid City
Journal he thought he was the sporting
writer about to attain fame by tackling
a national event. He described her
sreech by rounds and caused the
speaker to seek the editor with a pro-
test. The editor employing the faceti-
Gus reporter was a woman-Mrs. Cos
sage-and that settled it. While 1t
ended in a draw the reporter lost a
little money on the event.

GOVERNOR Wesley ENcAMPs
WITH NATIONAL GUARD

Watertown, S. D., Aug. 1.-THE ar
rival of Governor Robert S. Wesley in
Camp Roosevelt yesterday marked the
beginning of a special program car
ried out by the South Dakota National
Guard now in camp on the shore of
Lake Kampeska.
Governor Vessey at once occupied his
apartments in the headquarters build
Ing. He was kept busy the greater
part Of the forenoon with conferences
with AdJutant General Englesby,
Colonel ]. H. Holmes and other officers
of the guard. Only state military
affairs were discussed
Inspection of troops and camp was
taken up after the governor had dinner
In mess hall with the officers. The
commander-in- chief found both men
and equipment in excellent shape and
each company received a few words Of
commentator.
Rife practice has proceeded with al
most monotonous regularity thus far
At noon yesterday the guard completed
the special rife course prescribed by
the war department. This closes the
work for official records. Range firing
Will be continued today, but the work
VIII not go on record. The range Of
nicer has not yet compiled the scores
but 1t Is believed the records will not
be as good as last year, because OF
rainy and windy weather.

Aberdeen s. D., Aug 4.-The In
terror department has notified the
United States land office at Lennon, 5.
D.. Of the withdrawal from entry Of
practically all the land remaining un-
filed upon In the Lennon district on
the ground that the land is underlaid
wivh coal.
The order embraces practically 200
townships in the Lennon district, los
OF them being in South Dakota and the
whole withdrawal embracing about A.
600, 900 acres.
Forty Of these townships are in the
southern part Of Perkins county, near
the new town of Faith.
1t is presumed the homesteaders who
have already filed will be permitted to
prove up on their claims without mo-
lesta ton. and the land Office officials
are going ahead upon that presumption
and accepting final proofs when ten
dered.
The order came as a great surprise
to the people of Lennon. The order
applies to about 100000 acres of land,
a portion of it being in the vicinity Of
the new town of Faith
The Lennon Commercial club has
called a meeting for Wednesday to pro-
test against such action, and has sent
out a letter to other commercial clubs
over the state asking them to send
representatives to take part in the
meeting. The club contends that such
action prevents homesteaders from
committing their entries until after the
land is nassed upon as to whether 1t Is
coal or agricultural lands and this will
hold up proofs for a long time
Many settlers have failed raise
crops this year on account o dry
weather, and they are basing their liv-
ing expenses for next year on loans
they expect to secure on their lands
after committing. They have been liv-
ing on credit for the summer and this
will place them in a position where they
cannot meet their obligations.
