OLD klDpER SPANKED
RorTENnEss At MARMARTn

Marmarth Mail: Last week when
State Humane Officer Blake invaded
Marmarth. after preliminary skirmishes
at Beach and in the eastern part of the
county, it was not realized that he was
|opening up the cess pool of stinch and
filth that he seems to have ultimately
uncovered.
This officer invaded our little city with
out ceremony or loud ringing of bells
proclaiming his progress, but came in
fquietly and before his presence vas
known had returned to Medora with two
young and d%efenceless girls, whom, the
authorizes should have look after long
ago.
i 1t was quite naturally supposed that
these cases were the prime object of his
visit. but when he returned a few days
later with the sheriff and commenced
operations in earnest it was realized
that he was a man of action.
AS the Mail was going to press last
week, Deputy Sheriff Freese wal dis
Spatched to the home of W. Maxwell,
north of Rhame with a warrant charging
Maxwell with the heinous crime of
Sodomy upon his seven year old son.
Maxwell was brought into Judge
Writings court where he waived ex-
animation and was bound over to dis
trict court without bonds.
Before the hearing the little boy was
taken to the physician for an examina-
tion and his condition will prove dam
aging testimony in court. The little
fellow also told the story of the beginn-
ing and continuation of the crime in his
own childish language. The develop
ments in the case caused both Officers
Blake and Will to fear for the welfare
of the prisoner during the night but no
violence was offered.
The Kidder girls, who were the first to
be looked after by the humane society,
gave terrifying information regarding
their prostitution, duplicating several
young men Of this city, along with their
father, who was later arrested on the
charge of enticing his daughter to be-
come a prostitute and of accepting and
taking from her the remunerations she
received therefor.
Subpoenas have been served on several
young people as witnesses and the
woman, who has been living with the
Schneider boys as their sister, but who
goes by a multitude of aliases and who
the humane society claims is no relative
what ever but is only a wanderer from
the city of Chicago, was also taken
along.
Sunday evening before a warrant had
been issued for Kidder a bunch of the
Medora boys, men with hearts and man
hood and reverence for womankind,
dragged him out from the hotel into the
street where they %belabored him with a
pair of water soaked chaps until he

for months when it is publicly talked
that he is a luan of ill repute, and re-
prOachable character.

East Chiea go, Ind. Nov 14rA fire

estimated in the neighborhood of $3.50 or
$500. 1t was discovered at 10 o'clock
and is believed to have been caused BY

exciting. it was not q marker to what

ACTIVITY IN STEEL.

New York, Nov. 1i.-Most of the ac-

derived Indirectly from additional or

and some additional orders for locomo-

$4,000 for the Norfolk & Western and
10000 tons for the Louisville & Nash

orders have aggregated 10000 tons
andfcontracts are under negotiation for
about 100000 tons for 1912 delivery.
The principal car orders included $500
more cars for the New York Central
system. Nearly 1900 cars are still un-

CROSSING BRIDGES
WHEN NOT REACHED
But LeSsees Would Like to
Know About That Echo
Just the Same.

Tt is not generally known that the
building of a theater like the Schultz
theater in Hammond is always more
or less of a gamble account of the
peril of the echo
This fact was revealed by the visit
of one of the lessees of the New Orphe-
UNI theater to Hammond last Saturday.
when he was the guest of Manager Ii.
l.. St. Clair
We are going TO have one of the
most beautiful theaters in the country
said he, but we are always worried
to know whether or not the acoustics
will be good.
Il remember that there was a 5000
theater built in Chicago a few years
ago in which the acoustics were so bad
that the people would not visit it.
There was little theater with low
ceilings across the street, and in spite
of the fact that we gave better shows
they got all of the business. We had
to remodel the theater al a cost of SIS
600 and then the defect was not RENEE

Some of the devices that are used
to arrest the echo are very ingenious.
In cases when the acoustics are bad
the stringing of three wires. at vary
ing heights. will end the trouble
over in the Orpheum theater at
Gary the acoustics We're bad and it was
only remedied there by putting burlap
on the walls. OF course we are not
looking for trouble in the New Orphe-
UNI theater in Hammond, but we real
ize that such things are likely to hap

able to test the matter out finally
