MIR. Hill Digs Up

The Mitchell Republican of last
Wednesday contained the following
news item of interest not only to Nit.
chell people. but to South Dakota
Methodists generally:
There it is" said DIR. Samuel F.
Kerfoot, president of Dakota Wesleyan
university, as he stepped into the sane
tum of the city editor of the Republi-
can and laid on the desk a check for
$50, 600. The immense sum of money
the check represented made things
rather hazy around these quarters for
the moment, and more or less stag
gered the man who looked up from his
typewriter to meet something which we
had never before seen.
"What DR.. Kerfoot displayed was a
check bearing the signature of the
Hon. James j. Hill, of ST. Paul, who a
year ago agreed to give the univer-
sity people $50, 900 when they had
accomplished certain things in the mat
ter of money raising. The university
people did their part in securing the
proper amount from the people of Nit
chell, and all that Mr.. Hill had to do
TO fulfill his part of the obligation was
to dip his pen in the ink and write out
the check.

in his attempt before the Defeld boy

Shot by Accident

Press dispatches announce the acct
dental killing of Rudolph Bartels, chief
detective of the Homestake Mining
company, at Lead. Mr.. Bartels was
in the store of Ben Williamson, "a
friend, and the latter was exhibiting
an automatic revolver when the latter
was discharged, killing Bartels instantly
Bartels was in Sioux Falls a few
months ago, acting as an assistant to
Sheriff Noonan, of Lawrence county,
when they brought over six prisoners,
who were placed in the Sioux Falls
~penitentiary. Mr.. Bartels was a com.
paratively young man, but had gained
a great reputation as a detective. 1t
was he who kidnapped Meyer and
Haywood from Colorado and took them
to Idaho to stand trial for the murder
of the governor of the latter state.

court to one and one-half years in the
federal penitentiary at |Leavenworth,
Kan, for perjury in a land case.
Darling gained the name of being
one of the most daring grip thieves in
the country. Some of the best rail-
road detectives in the country were on
his trail, but were unable to run him
down because Of his frequent moving
about and changes in name. 1t is
estimated that he stole not less than
200 grips from railroad stations. He
is believed to have operated in every
state from Ohio to Montana.
When arrested he had t~hirty-fve
grips in his possession. His arrest on
a federal charge followed the inspec-
ton Of the contents of his own grip.
In the grip were found papers showing
he had made entry on several home
steads under different names, and the
United States authorities therefore
charged him with perjury and he was
indicted or that charge, being turned
owe to the federal authorities by
Sheriff Parmley of Brule county, who
had arrested him on the charge of
stealing some grips.
II was Darling's purpose to watch
opportunity at railroad stations to
steal grips. AS a usual thing he would
check the stolen grips to himself at
some other point to which he was
travelling, and then when he arrived
there and espied the grips checked by
himself at the railroad station he would
again steal them, and after complain
ing to the agent would put in a claim
the railroad company.
The losses finally aroused the sus-
picion of the officials of the elaine
department, and some of the shrewdest
railroad detectives were put on the
case.
At Chamberlain t~hirty-gve grips
stolen by Darling during the latter
part of his operations were found, and
in his individual grip we're the docu-
ments which proved he was guilty of
perjury in the homestead cases.

the boards conclusions, beyond the
fiat statement that an exterior explo-
sion was responsible for the loss OF
the warship and the lives OF many
men. The statement follows:
"The injuries to the bottom of the
Maine were caused by the explosion
of a charge of low form of explosive
exterior to the ship between frames
% and 81. strake b, port side. This
resulted in igniting and exploding the
contents of the siX-inch reserve mag
azine, AIM. said contents including
a large quantity of black powder. The
more or less complete explosion of the
contents of the remaining forward
magazine followed. The magazine ex-
plosions resulted in the destruction Of
the vessel
Secretary Meyer announced that
there might be a further statement on
the report of the board after ii had
been considered by the president. One
member Of the board was of the opin-
ion that the report never would be
published in full. but would be kept
in the confidential archives of the
navy department.
The declaration that a "low form Of
explosive" was used in the outside ex-
plosion indicates a belief that a mine
and not a dirigible torpedo was the In
strument of destruction.
This only deepens the mystery OF
the destruction of the Maine. A mine
charged with sufficient gunpowder to
blow in the bottom OF the ship must
have weighed several hundred pounds.
To plant such a mine and lay the cleo
trio connections necessary for its dis
charge would have required the sery-
,ces of a number Of men.
