TWO YEARS IN
PENlTENTlARY
This is the Sentence Given l..
NJ. Harr by judge
Hottum.
Prisoner Entered Plea of Gull
~ TO Charge of Sc
duction.
Jury Grants Albert Schmidt
$i,S00.00 in Damage
Suit.

/ l.. Nj Harr, the Milwaukee line
brakeman who was last week cap
tured IN Butte, Montana, and
brought back to Mobridge to an
swer a. charge of seduction, ap-
peared before Judge Bottum in
circuit court at Selby on Tuesday
Of this week and ente>ed a plea of
guilty to the offense with which he
was charged The Judge sentenced
him 10 serve a term of two years
IN the state penitentiary at Sioux
Falls.
Harr was freight brakeman on
the II. & d. divisi on and has been
working between Aberdeen and
Mobridge for several months past.
He is a young fellow, probably "A
or - years of age, and is of rather
striking and pleasing appearance.
He has a wife and little child in
Aberdeen, where he made his nome
while working on this division.
Several weeks ago he succeeded
in inducing young girl who was
employed in the lunch room of the
j. Ii. Murphy System to elope
with hi n, and they went to Butte,
Montana, he having evidently led
the girl to believe that he was an
unmarried man. The young lady's
ather Immediately instituted q
search for the pair, with the result
that they were located in Butte.
The father went to that city about
two weeks ago, and for two or
three days could iiEd no trace of
his daughter. 1t is said that Harr
kept her off Of the streets as much
as possible for fear Of their iden-
tity being disclosed The girls
father had almost decided to aban-
don the search when he chanced to
meet his daughter on one of the
main business stl eets. He brought
her home and Sheriff Hughes
hunted Harr up and brought him
back to stand the consequences of
the law.
Upon the return Of the prisoner
to this county he seemed to realize
the position he was in and decided
that the best course for him to
pursue was to plead guilty to the
charge and ask the leniency Of the
court. Considering the serious
he Of the crime, the fact that thas
prisoner is an intelligent appear
ing young man and the further
fact that he left his wife and little.
child in destitute circumstances in
Aberdeen, the sentence imposed
him is the least he could -lreast;n-
ably expect. wv q d

TORIES CALL PREMIER
ASQUITH A TRAITOR

the Conservative members were fran
tic with anger.
Asquith apparently tired of the at
tempt to restore order, finally made
a statement which was inaudible.
Speaker Lowther finally obtained a
partial hearing for the Premier by
reminding the Conservatives that the
Liberals surely would howl down Bal
four when he arose to reply. This
brought a lull in the uproar, but It
was only temporary.
Asquith, resuming his statement,
said that unles the Lords passed the
bill substantially as it came from the
House of Commons. the government
would be compelled to invoke the
Kings aid in the creation of Liberal
peers. But Asquith's reference to the
governments policy and intention Of
sending the bill back to the Lords was
drowned out by continual uproar,
shouts and cries of traitor"
Balfour arose amid an equally
vociferous INSTRUMENTATION He
regretted, he said that he had been
unable to hear what the Premier had
TO say and declared that the whole de-
! bate was the most dieorderly in the
history of the British Parliament"
