Declares It a Fraud.

Even at the present time. Mr.. Turpin
alleges, funds of the fourth class are
being wrongfully diverted to the benefit
of the fifth class, and that such alleged
action constitutes fraud upon his rights
and that of all other members of the
fourth class
He claims that if the alleged diver
sion of funds had not occurred the fourth
class would still be solvent and able to
carry out its contracts on the old rate.
He tells the court that his contract calls
for a monthly payment of $3.50, and un-
der the proposed increase he will be
obliged to pay $3.50 each rsonth for
a policy of $1,000.
Joseph Williams, resident of the
District of Columbia. has filed an inter-
vening petition as a member of the same
class of the order. He reiterates the
charges of mismanagement made by Mr..
Turpin.
He has policy of $1,000 and formerly
paid $500 per month in assessments, but
has been called on to pay $3.50 under
the proposed new arrangement.

combination declared Mr. LennoX. 1T

Asquith and promoted by Taft. Each
has something selfish at stake. Laurier
wants something to make the people for

'brotherly palaver,' he said, and it should
be remembered that it was the brothers
of Joseph who put him into the pit and

Bout at Georgian Court.
The preliminaries were all arranged a
week ago, and it was settled that the
fight should take place at Mrs. Gould's
weekend party. There is a fine Gymna-

turned into a regulation prize ring for the
occasion. 1t was agreed that the fight
should be under Queensberry rules, and
the festivities attending the Gould-Decies

By Saturday night the fighters looked

friends. The Hon. Bobby weighed in
at 1876 pounds, while Mr.. Drexel tipped
the scales at 161. This dsparagement in

View Taken in London.

LONDON, February 1.-THE tariff re-
form press is making the utmost capital
out of the annexationist speeches in the
American Congress to push the agitation
for imperial preference.
The editorials of these papers comment
in the gravest tone on the alleged dam
ger threatening the empire. That section
Of the unioniSt press, however, which re-
CARDS the policy of preference as killed
by the reciprocity agreement takes, like
the liberal press. a light view of the mat
ter. and regards the Bennett resolution
merely as a move intended to embarrass
President Taft and prevent the ratitica-
ton of the agreement.

United States, seriously compromises the
success of the agreement, as 1t rldely

IT Was RABIES
Experts Discover That Swine We. IN.

DIR. Brown returned from Min
neapolis, Monday, to which city
he had gone the previous Thurs
day, accompanied by Maurice
SCHNEIDER. AS announced in the
Standard last week, the object of
the trip was to submit to experts
at the state university the head of
a swine which had been bitten by
a dog, and which animal was sup.
posed to be infected with rabies.
The specimen submitted by DIR.
Brown was thoroughly dissected
1t the university, and germs of
rabies were found therein in con-
siderable numbers.
Mr.. SCHNEIDER, who had been
bitten by the same dog that in
fected the swine, and at about
the same time, was Immediately
placed under the Pasteur treat
ment for rabies, and will take the
full course, which requires twenty
one days to administer. A letter
received from him yesterday says
he is feeling all right, yet, and
that no symptoms of the disease
have appeared.
Four children near Ellington
were also bitten by the dog in
question, and all Of them have
been taken to Minneapolis and
are undergoing treatment at the

Had a Fine Trip.

II. L. Spackman and wife and
o. P. Rask and wife made 116-
mile automobile trip last Satur-
day, leaving Sisseton at 1880 in
the morning and arriving home
before dark. They visited Eden
Park, Huffman and Briuton, s..
d., stopping at the latter place
about four hours. They then
proceeded to York, Kidder and
Havana, N. D., and came home by
Way Of Veblen and MARROW. The
party enjoyed a picnic supper in
Tom Robertson's s grove two miles
>southeast of Veblen, and, all in
all, they had decidedly pleasant
day of it. The gentlemen tran
sacted business in the different
towns visited and looked over tho
crop between stations. They say
that with the exception of a
small area in the vicinity Of Kid
der, the best crops they saw on
the trip were in the territory tri-
butary to Sisseton, and that the
poorest crops are to be found in
the country around Britton,
where the small grain is practi
cally a total failure.

ANOTHER HORSE THIEF
Team of Horses and Buggy
Stolen from an Indian Near
Browns Valley.

Alfred Hogan, alias Jack
Pierce, alias Jack Brenneman-
a bold, bad man, as his multi
pliclty of aliases would indicate
stole a team of horses and a
buggy from his employer, Ben
johnson, who lives about six
miles north of Browns Valley, on
Saturday morning, and immediat
ly started in the direction of the
setting sun.
Mr.. johnson, who is an Indian,
saw Hogan drive off, and on
turning the matter over in his
mind he came to the conclusion
that the man had felonious in
tent-in other words, that he
meant to steal the rig. So, as
soon as he could get organized
for the road, he started in pur-
SUIT of the fleeing Hogan.
Hogan is a breed who halls
from Nebraska, and had only
been working for johnson three
Or four days. But he is certain
ly versed in the art of horse steal
ing, as he successfully eluded his
,pursuer, and at this writing is
still at large.
When johnson found he wash
able to capture the thief, he came
to Siseton Tuesday, evening and
notified Sheriff Swanson Of the
loss of his horses-a course which
he should have pursued as soon
as possible after the theft occur
red. Sheriff Swanson Immediately
took the case in hand and started
inquiries which resulted in the
location Of the rig and one of the
horses on the prairie three miles
west of Wist. The horse, which
was young and green, had evil
IDENTIFY played out, and Hogan
had apparently unhitched the
other one and gone on his way
on horseback.
The sheriff, accompanied by
johnson, went out Wednesday
afternoon and brought in the
abandoned horse and buggy, and
the former is now on the trail of
Hogan, who is supposed to be
still travelling west.
The horse which Hogan is rid
ing is a gray one-but Hogan
himself is of the brunette type.
