of the registered and special delivery

compelled to wait on the train sched-

destination, provided. Of course, the
points were not too far distant to be
reached during daylight hours.

fair lady who later proved to be his un-

while she had a husband he was not in
evidence. She seems to have played
upon the sympathies of the South Da-
kota man, who was widower, to an
alarming degree and was soon get
ting his ready money away from him.
1t was not until he began to sign over
his mortgages to her that the friends
became interested and begged him to
drop the newly found acquaintance.
He promised that he would. but when
he would again meet her she would
exert such an influence over him that
he would do her bidding. His friends
hastened to inform his sons in South

were taken at once TO prevent the pay

raised that stream until it overfiowed

One fatality occurred. James Kerr,
an old soldier, who had lived at the
state soldiers home with his wife In
one of the cottages there, had been out
to one of his farms east of the city
and was driving into town when the
storm was at its height He had
reached the county bridge at the juno
tion of the hot and cold branches of
Fall river, and not noticing that the
high water had weakened it, drove
upon IL with his horse and buggy. The
structure gave way just as Kerr and
his horse and buggy had reached the
center. People who witnessed the ac-
cident attempted to rescue the unfor-
tunate man, but the mad rush of water
soon hurried him to his death. His
body was recovered just above the
city. Kerr was man about 65 years
of age and considered one of the well
to do men of the county.
