TRAIL OF SLAYER
over HEMISPHERE
ENDS IN CAPTURE
For Two Years He Eludes Pur-
suers, Only to Be Run to
Earth by New York
Sleuths.

New York, March IA chase that
asted for more than 10000 miles came
20 a close when Alphonse Dinehart,
llso known as Robert Urzua,' was
irraigned before Commissioner Shields,
charged with murder and held to await
extradition papers from Mexico. The
complainant was Manuel A. Esteva,
vice consul general of Mexico.
The crime for which the man is
wanted was committed in 1909. A
young man named Ruezaga had gone
though the legal formalities necessary
before a marriage and was to wed
young woman named Dolores, of Quad
tlajara, Mexico. Urzua, it Is said, had
been sutton for her hand.
AS the pair stood on the corner, hav-
ng come from the official who issues
marriage licenses, Urzua saw them. He
was on a bicycle. Riding close to where
hey stood he, it is charged, drew
Btilletto and drove ii into the back OF
ns rival. Without dismounting he
then rode on as his victim rolled over
Head.
Trail Lost for Time.
Urzua was trailed to this country.
Trace was lost Of him until II months
ago, when the w. J. Burns Detective
agency was placed on the case.
He was next heard from In Buenos
Ayres. There he in some way became
aware that he was being followed, or
else decided to keep on the move be-
cause of the crime that gave him no
rest. Certain 1t is that he kept on the
move, always moveing a few days
ahead of the man who was after him.
Urxua went to Montevideo and thence
10 Uruguay. He then doubled on his
tracks and went to Buenos Ayres.
When the detective reached there after
few days search he learned the man
lad taken a steamship for Valparaiso.
A steamer behind, the detective
chased him from there to Lima, and
lost him for time. His trail was
picked up again at Callao, where 1t
was found that three days before he
had sailed for the Isthmus.
From Panama his next jump was to
Havana. From Havana he came to
New York, and then sailed again to
Havana, and from there made trip
to Yucatan, then back to Havana. and
back to New York.
Nearly Caught In Chicago.
He was here a few weeks ago and
went to Chicago. They found where he
was in Chicago the day after he left
Then 1t was found that he was living
IN Twenty-fifth street in this city
While the house was being watched
detectives ran across him at Forty
fourth street and Ninth avenue. He
was arrested by Department of Justice
Detectives JentZer and Dyer, who had
been apprised of his whereabouts
In court before Commissioner Shields
ne refused to make any statement. 1t
Is said that his brothers are men Of
wealth in Mexico.

FARMERS IN CENTRAL DAKOTA
BEGIN FLOWING AND DRAGGING

Mitchell, S. D., March 14.-The past
tE.e,, eays has seen the entrance of the
farm. into the fields for the begin
ming = spring work, some of whom
arr dragging and some blowing the
ground, and by the middle of this week
the work will be started in general In
this section and the southern part of
the state. In the middle section Of the
state the ground is said to be in very
fair condition, particularly where the
soil Is a bit sandy, the heavier soil be-
ing hard to work as yet and will re-
Quire a rain to make 1t easy. With one
rain the ground in this section will be
ready for the seed, and the indications
are that seeding will start somewhat
earlier than last year, the temperature
for the past four or five days being
high, and the forecast being favorable
for farming preparations. One thing
will be noticeable this year in seeding,
and that is the pure grain which the
farmers will SOW. The farmers insti-
tutes and the state corn show lectur-
ers have impressed that necessity into
the head of the farmer and 1t Is said
this will be followed to greater ex-
tent than ever before. This, with the
dry farming idea being utilized ought
20 give South Dakota a big crop this
year.

SOUTH DAKOTA ROMANCE
ENDS ON ELLIS ISLAND

New York, March 13.-Anthony
Meilsch, a wealthy butcher of Bowdle,
S. D., arrived from South Dakota on
the fast Chicago express and imme-
diately proceeded to the United States
immigrant detention station at Ellis
island, where he obtained the release
Of Marie Drummer. a pretty little Wen
nese girl Of 10. who had been detained
Tor over two weeks and ordered de-
ported as undesirable, as she was con-
Gidered too young and unsophisticated
to be wandering around this country
alone.
She had come over here on an en-
gagement to marry Meilsch, but was
too bashful to tell the immigration Of
ficials. Yesterday the couple procured
the necessary license at the city hall
and they were married in the chapel Of
the Leo house. an official retrea' for
German immigrant girls, by Rev. Mr..
Nigeleisn, pastor in charge.
After a few days sightseeing here
they will go to South Dakota.

AURORA FEUD HAS
FIF'TIETH AIRING
BEFORE THE COURT
Farmer Attempts to Shoot
Neighbor and Son When They
Meet On Highway.

Plankinton. S. D., March IA fam
lily feud which has some of the ear
marks of the Kentuck brand Is being
waged in Aurora county in which the
families OF Bike, Haarch and Patter-
son are lined up in battle array, the
latter two being aggressors against
the former.
The quarrels have reached some
strong stages at times during the past
10 years the strife has been going on.
The last trouble arose when Bike
attempted to shoot Haarch and his son
when he encountered them on the road
way. Bike is under peace bonds along
with Haarch. Perry Patterson, SON
tnlaw of Haarch, made an attack on
Bike and disfigured his face, and now
Patterson is the defendant in a damage
suit for $1,000.
During the 10 years feud these FAM
lies have had their grievances aired
out in the justice court no less than 30
times and Aurora county people are
becoming tired of paying what they
shink is an unnecessary bill of expen-
les.

GOVERNOR GUARDS
''CLOSED sunday
THROUGH A VETO
Vessey Refuses to Give Saloon
Men Permission to Enter
Places on Sabbath.

Pierre, S. D.. March 13.--The veto
of Governor Vessey on house bill 313,
defining the word CLOSED" In reference
to a saloon, is on the grounds that
1t opens way for keeping saloons
open on Sunday, regardless of the
state law against such action. He
says:
1T would seem to me that the OBJ
ject of the bill under consideration is
to avoid the effect of the decisions of
the court, and that the passage and
approval of the bill would quite ef-
fectively set them aside. Furthermore.
1t appears to me that this bill is but
an entering wedge into breaking up
of the present very effective laws reg
ulating saloons. II the keeper of a
saloon Is allowed to enter his place
of business on Sunday, or after closing
hours, it would be very difficult, in
deed, for the court to determine
whether his purpose there was legl-
innate or illegitimate."
Further, he says that IL the law were
approved 1t would put constant temp
tation for violation of the law before
the saloon man, and tho present con-
struction of the court had better stand'
Would Repeal 1907 Law.
In regard to his veto Of senate bill
70, which attempted to apply the anti
discrimination laws Of the state to
buyers as well as sellers, it is held to
have the effect of repeating chapter
131 Of the laws Of 1907, relating to un-
lawful discrimination. It's general
provisions are also questioned as to
what would result from attempting to
put the law into effect, and 1t is vetoed
to save the law now In existence. (This
was known before the adjournment IT
the session, but the house voted down
three different efforts to recall the bill
from the governor for correctionO
Drainage Law Unconstitutional.
The disapproval of house bill "a is
on the grounds of unconstitutionality
In number of it's phases. This bill
attempted to provide for the creation
Of small irrigation districts through
combinations of land owners. 1t Is
held to be unconstitutional on the
grounds that 1t seeks to create such
districts as public corporations by a
department of the government; that
1t attempts to impose upon the courts
the duty Of creating and defining
boundaries of public corporations; that
II violates the constitutional require
ment as to exemptions from taxation
in seeking to exempt its bonds, and
rights OF way, bitches and fumes from
taxation; that it attempts to give the
courts power to ratify the validity of
tax before the tax is laid, and for
numerous other reasons.

tie olOuA lily ITlDune.
In an advanced stage of decomposi-
ton the body OF John s. HAMA, aged
b, Of Burbank, s. D., was found yes
terday noon on the south bank OF the
Missouri river two miles below Ser
geant Bluff by Milton Clark. Coroner
]. E. Carver was notified and the body
was taken to Wescott's morgue, where
Identification was established by means
Of tax receipts to considerable property,
Including a farm in South Dakota and
considerable Sioux City real estate.
From indications the body had been
In the river for about six weeks. 1t is
thought the body was frozen in the ice
at some point far up the river and
foated down when the ice broke up.
With the exception Of being coatless,
the man was dressed for cold weather.
As there are no marks on the body in
dicating violence 1t is thought he met
death by drowning. He was known in
Sioux City and 1t is said he was sub
ject to a mild form Of epilepsy.
A warranty deed was found in his
pocket for lot 2, block 6, Eden Park adj
dition, an addition to Sioux City. It
was dated January 1, 1907: Twenty
i've cents was all the money found in
his pockets. Am effort to locate his
relatives is being made. The coroner
