PIERRE BOOMER
IS CONVICTED
PIERRE MILLIONAIRE is FOUND
GUILTY OF DEFRAUDlNG
THE PEOPLE
WAS A Prominent PIERRE BOOMER
Over Enthusiastic Description Of Lots
in the Capitol City Led to His
Arrest by Government

A dispatch from Pierre says that
Charles l.. Hyde of that city, reputed
to be the richest man in South Da-
kota, one of the original Pierre boom
ers, has been sentenced in federal
court to a term of one year and three
months at Leavenworth, the temporary
home of Morse of New York; Phil
King, the bank wrecker of Wiscon-
sin, and other ~financiers. The judge
might have let Hyde off with a fine,
but evidently felt that a fine would
not be punishment fitting the crime
Of the South Dakota Croesus.
Mr.. Hyde was convicted in the
United States court at Sioux Falls
of having used the mails to defraud
in connection with the sale of town
lots in the boom days of Pierre. The
fraud charged consisted of highly
exaggerated" descriptions in circu-
lars and statements of the property
which Hyde sought to sell. The
Judgment was stayed on an appeal
to the United States circuit court Of
appeals.
Hyde was only one of a coterie of
land and lot boomers who operated
soon after Pierre was made the tenn
porary capital. By so-called govern
ment maps he showed electric car
lines running adjacent to lots repre-
scented as plots, which were actually
nothing but broken pasture land.
Pierre has had boomers and BOOM
ers, but no other just like Hyde. He
came early and has been on the job,
that of making money, ever since.
Other boomers became politicians,
~oficeholders, livestock growers and
professional men. Hyde never
scattered. His particular business
was to make a fortune and he al
lowed nothing to turn him from his
purpose. The temporary location OF
the capital at Pierre, followed several
years after by the permanent location,
gave him a winning card. 1t is the
popular impression, especially in the
far east. that a capital city has "a
down-hill pull on good fortune. Hyde
made the most of this impression. He
painted Pierre in the most glowing
terms he could command. He saw that
his literature was placed where it
would do the most good-for Hyde.
He built electric car lines, laid out
parks and boulevards and various
public and private enterprises-all on
paper.
All the time he was plating addi-
tions to the capital city, some Of them
several miles out. These when he
sub-divided he sold at fabulous prices,
compared with real values, to eastern
men. They had read his literature
and his offerings looked good to them.
They were sure to double on their in
vestment. Business was good and
Hyde's fortune mounted up.
Mr.. Hyde's financial star has for the
present at least gone under a cloud.
A report from Sioux Falls says that
in view of the findings Of the jury
and the Judgment of the court several
parties are preparing to bring civil
cases against him for the recovery of
damages. Once a suit of this nature
is started the bars will be let down
and it is not telling when the end
will ONE
