A BURNED
TO OBTAIN MONEY

Huron, S. D.-The belief is
Strengthening that the death of Da-
vid Mitchell, whose body was found
last week terribly burned in his cot
tage just outside of the city, was not
entirely accidental. 1t is said that
he was known to have something like
$4,000 in cash either on his person
or secreted in his home. The coroner
found about $500 secreted in various
articles of clothing and in places
about the house, but friends and 9TH
ers who ought to know, declare that
the dead man had much more money
than the amount found. Coroner
Walls is still investigating and NAV
succeed in a%scertaining exactly how
Mr.. Mitchell met his death and what
has become of the remainder Of the
cash he is believed to have had. The
fact that in a room other than where
the dead man was found, we're discov-
cred some sacks of grain charred by
fire, indicate that the fire was not en-
tirely confined to the room where the
body was discovered.

GOES
TO FEDERAL COURT
CHARLES MIG COUNTY MAN TO
BE TRIED IN FEDERAL COURT
FOR MURDER AS STATE HAS
NO JURISDICTION.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Wilis Whit
worth, of Charles Mix county, is a
prisoner in the Minnehaha county
Jail, upon a charge of murder, pre-
ferred by the authorities of the Unit
ed States.
Whitworth was to have been tried
upon this charge, in the circuit court
of Charles Mix county, at a recent
term, but it was discovered that the
crime he is alleged to have committed
had it's preparation upon govern
ment land and therefore on Wednes-
day the jurisdiction of the case was
transferred to the federal govern
ment and Whitworth was brought to
Sioux Falls, where he will be held
until the 26th of the month, when he
will be taken to Yankton for a pre-
liminary examination before United
States Commissioner Edwin T. White.
Whitworth is one OF, two men who
are accused of killing James Fallas,
a half-breed Indian on land allotted
to Fallas, by the government.
The crime occurred last summer
and it was believed that the state
court had jurisdiction, but it has re-
Gently been ascertained that while
Fallas had taken the allotment in
severalty, the government had not yet
relinquished title and isued a patent
and the land is still the property of
the government, which peculiar com
bination of circumstances brings
this case within federal jurisdictions.
Whitworth, who is CT mixed Indian
and Mexican blood, went to Charles
Mix county from the Indian territory. /
He and a companion, went to the
Fallas place one day last summer and
a quarrel ensued, which developed
into a fight in which knives were al
so used.
Fallas was stabbed seven times in
the melee, and died from the effect
of his wounds.
The trial of the case in the state
court was to have begun on Tuesday
last, and at that time it was discov-
cred that the state had no jurisdic-
ton.

Yankton, S. DIT has just become

who died eight years ago, left S.

and under the will the county court
named the trustees, who are Mr.. We

Elmer Johnson and L. w. Schaller.
These citizens have just incorporated
and have invested the POUNDS, which

some liberal donations and that the
asylum will be built.

PROMINENT IN THE WEST.

1t Is always a pleasure to hear of
a Mitchell woman making a success
of her work in a new location and
the most glowing reports come Of the
achievements of Mrs. Fred l.. Tiffany,
of Occur d'Alene, Idaho, where she
has become d~eservedly prominent in
musical and society circlues not only
in that city but elsewhere. When a
resident of Mitchell, Mrs. Tiffany's
beautiful soprano voice was always in
demand, and 1t is the same in Idaho.
"A copy of the Spokane, Wash, Daily
Inland-Herald, was received at this
Office containing a two column pic
ture of Mrs. Tiffany, announcing her
singing in one of the prominent
churches in that city for last Sun
day, and accompanying the illustra-
ton was the following reference to
her attainments:
Mrs. Florence Tiffany, soprano of
Occur d'Alene, Idaho, who will sing
the %offertory number at the morn
ing service at the Vincent NJ. E.
church Sunday. Her number will be
Dudley Bucks "My Redeemer and
My Lord"
Mrs. Tiffany is a pupil of Jasper
Dean McFall of this city. She is an
attractive and talented woman, be-
ing gifted not only with a beautiful
soprano voice. but with a keen intel
lect as well, which accounts for her
interest in literature and art, and in
all public questions. She is the. wife
Of Judge F. L. Tiffany of Occur DIAL
