fetal report made today by Medical
Examiner Leary that Miss Avis Lin
nell, the young music student OF Hy-
annisport. who died of cyanide OF
potassium poisoning, last Saturday,
did not take the poison with suicidal
intent, the police have been asked by
the district attorney to investigate the
case and to ascertain whether the
young woman obtained the poison
herself or received 1t from some one
else.
After the body of the girl was found
IN her room late Saturday night and
the medical examiner had made a
nasty examination, it was announced
that she had taken her own life
Further investigation by the police
was followed by the statement that
the cause Of the supposed suicide was
probably disappointment over a love
affair.

New York, Oct. 17.--By the score of
to ., in II innings of baseball as
sensational as a worlds series has ever
furnished, the Philadelphia Athletics
defeated the New York Giants here to-
day and jumped into a lead Of two
games to one in the series for the
worlds championship.
The White Elephants achieved the
defeat on their rivals own grounds,
facing the. great Mathewson, who had
puzzled them into the loss Of one
worlds series and who had started
bravely in an attempt to make history
repeat itself. Three times in 1905 and
once this year the Athletics had fallen
victims to Mathewson's wizardry To-
day, they finally broke through his
guard and fell upon him so heavily in

Farmers Organize Union.

Friday afternoon of last week
a number of farmers organized
a Farmers Equity Union at
Lennon. This meeting follow
ed directly upon the last gather
ing of the farmers institute, and
Supt. Hoverstad had happily
commented upon the necessity of
the farmers combining for their
social and material advancement,
although he then did not know
that Pres. Drayton of the Ma
tional Equity Union had just
arrived for the purpose of giving
Mr.. Hoverstad's plea form and
substance. Nearly a hundred
farmers were present, and over
forty joined the movement.
AS officers the following were
selected:
President, |. M. Nef, White
Butte.
Vice-Pres., c. O. Dokken, Cook
Secretary-Ireasurer NJ art n
Hersrud, Petrol,
The objects of the organlza-
tion are stated to be educational
and mutually protective. The
society aims to maintain the best
of friendly relations between the
rural communities and the small
towns, ever urging the necessity
of loyalty to community and
neighbors The prominent busi-
ness phase of the societys life,
however, is the constant en-
deavor to maintain good prices
by controlling the membership S
products, the result of the
farmer efforts. This they
accomplish by the erection of
their eE'n, warehouses and
elevators all the country over.
The local union will have
another meeting at Lennon on
Saturday, July 18th. Efforts
will be made to have regular
meetings every Saturday after
noon, and it is the society's hope
that the town people will extend
the hand of hospitality in such
wise that these weekly meetings
may be made mutually beneficial.

Diabolical Operation

In jealous frenzy of satanic
fierceness Mrs. John Carol at
tackled and manned her husband,
the night of July Sd at their
home in Mobridge. The unfor-
tunate man was taken to Aber-
deem July 4th, and the report,
as we go to press are that death
has mercifully spared the victim
a remnant of ignominious days.
John Carol is a fireman on the
Milwaukee, running out from
Mobridge. Some days ago he
had an alteration with bls wife,
is 40 years old and by some IS
years his senior. The young
man, while on a run to Miles
City, sought satisfaction in the
company of the half world, but
returning home, made up with
his wife. remaining with her
over night. While he was asleep.
she arose, secured razor, md
despoiled him of his manhood.
After committing the deed, she
rushed for a physician. and re-
turned with him about the time
her husband awoke to find him
self bleeding to death. AS soon
as the flow Of blood was stopped
the victim was taken to Aber-
deem, with scant hopes for his
life. The woman was promptly
arrested. Feeling at Mobridge
runs high against her for the
bastard act committed doubtless
in a frenzy of insane jealousy.
