YtGGMEN IN THE Pen
Men Who Robbed the Bank at
Tea Last Summer Are Planted
in the Penitentiary

Sioux Falls, Sept. IA George
Riley, Frank SOLIDS and Edward
Mack, the three yeggmen who
bleNw open the safe of the bank
at Tea last summer and got away
with several hundred dollars, and
who the day following the rob-
berry We're arrested in this city
are safe behind the bars of the
Sioux Falls penitentiary. The
three men pleaded guilty at a
term OF court held at Canton last
week and Judge Jones sentenced
Riley to serve eight years and his
two companions to serve seven
Years each.
After robbing the bank the
three men, some think there were
four, came to Sioux Falls, max
ing the journey from Tea as far
as the Great Northern bridge
across the Sioux on a hand car.
At this point they dumped the
handcar into the river and walk.
ed into town. About II clock
in the morning the officials got
a hunch that three suspicious
characters We're occupying a room
on the second floor of the build
ing at the northeast corner of
Phillips avenue and Eighth street
The room was raided and the
men placed under arrest, and
enough evidence was secured to
convince the officials that they
had the bank robbers.
One thing that caused a sus-
picion that at least a fourth
party was mixed in the robbery
was the fact that but about two
thirds of the money stolen was
recovered when the men were
arrested.
Sheriff Quien of Lincoln coun-
ty when he had them safe in the
penitentiary remarked that a big
load had been lifted off his mind.
He says thlt the three prisoners
Nave gwen him no end Of tvorr,
both night and day. That they
were on the look out for an op-
portunity to make their escape h.
was certain.

HUNTING SEASON OPENS
And Local Nimrods Go Out
with Dog and Gun and Bring
Home the Bacon.

The hunting season opened
long before daylight on the morn
ing Of the tenth, and ducks and
chickens knew that there was
something unusual on just at the
break of day, for a great m,sny
OF the local nimrods could not
wait until morning and Went out
the night before in order to be
on the field at the earliest pos
sible moment. The hunters who
remained in town got busy just
before daylight with dog and gun
to make their slaughter early in
the day, and at least get the
limit before night, which very
few Were successful in doing
Hunting has been the leading
topic for discussion and occupa-
tion the entire week and some
.notable bags and stories of bags
have resulted, and it seems to
have mattered but little whether
the hunting dog was pressed into
service Or not. Some assert thai
had the dog been left in its
kennel, more game would have
resulted, which is undoubtedly
true, due to "Sport s" long rest
Among these who have reported
the limit on chickens are: Nels
Nelson, Jerry Wilson, Sam Will
son, DR.. Sverre, John Darlington,
Sheriff Swanson, Art Olson and
Howad Fuller. The three latter
gentlemen also report the law
limit on ducks.
George Miller. Earl Sleight and
Chas Bailey brought in is ducks

feather, while Drs. Brown and
Howg, M. E. Crockett and Judge
Batterton Jared better n d
brought in three ducks from an
afternoon hunt.
DR.. Glasier and John Mccoy

less as the result of a gasoline
stove explosion at the farm of
Lars llolkan, six miles northeast

WOMAN WITH A GUN
Held the Center of the Stage in
the Postoffice at Colome-
Play Result of Political squab-
BILE.

Bile.
Chamberlain, Sept. Ia The
new town of Colome, in the new
country of Tripp which was form
ed from the Rosebud Indian res
| ervatlon, was the scene of SEN
satlonal episode, in which a wo-
man with a gun played AN impor-
tant part.
The woman behind the gun was
Mrs. Lehmherg, wife of Ill. d.
Lehmberg postmaster of the town
The person at whom the gun was
pointed by the determined wo-
man who had her hand ON the
trigger was III. M. Duval, republi-
can county chairman and we'll
known statesman and politician of
Trlpp county. The woman APP
peared with the gun when Duval
entered the postoffice with the
avowed intention of making pei
sonal attack on the postmaster.
Although Duval attempted to
treat the gun episode as joke,
he suddenly changed his inten-
tlons when he glanced at the face
OF the woman behind the gun and
noticed that she apparently was
in deadly earnest and would fire
at him if he persisted in his mten-
ton to modest her husband.
Duval had chased the post
MASTER behind the counter when
Mrs. Lehmberg appeared on the
scene. Athouugh Duval aband-
oned his attempt to chastise
the representative of Uncle Sam,
he remained in the postoffiae and
directed number of pointed re-
marks at the postmaster. Just at
a time when he was indulging in
his finest flights of oratory at the
expense of the postmaster, Town
Marshal Holbrook appeared ON
the scene and arrested Duval for
dlsorderly conduct. Lehmberg
lntim ates that he will have Duval
placed under bonds to keep the
peace.
The trouble between the two
men is the outgrowth Of a fight
to capture the postmastership in
the new town. Lehmberg was un-
able to secure the endorsement of
Duval, and in explanation of why
he could not he filed with the
state delegation at Washington
an affidavit, in which he charged
that alleged overtures had been
made to him through others by
which for an alleged financial
consideration he could have secur-
ed the endorsement Of the chair
man of the republican county
committee.
Not until this week did Duval
learn of the nature of this af-
fldavlt, and he lost no time in
proceeding to the postoffice for
the express purpose of forcing the
postmaster to sign retraction,
only to be frustrated by Mrs.
Lehmberg and her gun

WInDfALL C0MPANY'S
ANNUAL MEETING
Matter Of Increasing Present Plant to
Come Up For Consideration

Matter of Increasing Present Plant to
Come Up For Consideration
Managing Director James H. Oausten
OF the Wiudfall Mining Company left
Monday for Chicago to be present ct the
annual meeting Of his company, which
is to be held in that city to-day. Be-
sides other matters that will come np.
IL is understood the most important to
be considered will be the proposition Of
doubling the present capacity Of the
milling plant-to 200 tons daily.
Mr.. Causten came to Eureka last
April and took charge of the Windfall
Company's property. On May 10th the
mill was started up, and has since been
kept steadily in operation. The mine
and mill employs between so and 70
men. and to keep this force steadily en-
ployed for six months without railroad
transportation nearer than 30 miles,
speaks volumes for Mr.. C~austen's execu-
tive ability. With the above showing
made without railroad transportation,
and the fact that he is now able to show
that the Eureka & Palisade Railroad
Company will have trains running into
Eureka by January 1, there is little
doubt but that the directors OF the
Windfall Mining Company will author.
ize the doubling of the capacity of their
present milling plant.
