A Sad Fate

Guy Curtis, young man of
perhaps eighteen years of age,
son of Mr.. and Mrs Fred Curtis,
formerly of the Kiowa and who
resided in that section from child
hood, met a sad fate when he was
arrested last week at Wichita,
Kansas, where he has been max
ing his home for year past, for
the confessed murder of Burton
M. Reed, of that city a year ago
The murder of Reed, a pop
corn and peanut vender, in cold
blooded manner occurred in Feb
ruary, 1911. The police we're I'M
able to unravel the mystery until
Guy Curtis appeared on the scene
and accused his chum, Benton
Huston, also of this county,
residing with his widowed mother
near Ivanhoe, of the crime. Hus-
ton happened to be in Wichita at
that fateful time. He was arrested
upon Curtis information but devel-
opments both before aud during
his trial and the conduct of Cur
tbs served to throw suspicion up
on the latter anil in the midst of
the progress Of the trial while
Curtis was testifying Houston
was dismissed by the Court and
Curtis was arrested.
Immediately upon his arrest he
made clean breast of the whole
affair admitting his connection
with the awful deed, still con-
tending that Houston fired the
fatal shot, in their attempted hold
up. Whether this be true or not,
Houston had been dismissed and
could not again be tried for the
same offense and thus was per-
mitted to return home with his
heart-baokeu old mother while
Curtis must suffer the penalty
for his crime. His only hope is in
securing a lighter sentence than
life Imprisonment.
This is only another instance
and the old, old story of bad
associates, liquor and cigarettes
What it has done for Guy Cdi
tbs it has done for hundreds Of
bright, promising boys, wreck
ing their young lives and sending
them to the penitentiary for life
There are many Beaver county
people who know this young maj
and his family and the deepes
regret is felt at this TRACED,
which has befallen them. - Bea

CONGRESS TO AVERT STRIKE
House Committee on Interstate Com
merce Seeks to Extend Erdman
Act to Cover Coal Mine Owners.

Washington.-The house committee
on interstate commerce has decided
to appoint a subcommittee to consid-
or and report Immediately Represent
alive Lees bill to extend the Erdman
arbitration and mediation act to apply
to coal mine owners and operators.
Representative Lee, who is pressing
the bill, believes it would avert the
threatened strike of anthracite coal
miners.
No action in connection with the
coal labor situation has been taken
by the house labor committee. Chair
man Wilson said nothing would be
done until after the proposed suspen-
sion Of work April 1.
While President Taft has not
sought to intervene in the anthracite
coal deadlock, he is keeping in close
touch with both sides and will see
John Mitchell at the White House this
week.

basis of a value appraised on each 40

five-year term, because otherwise the
der the new plan. with each 40 sepa-
rately appraised, the limits u from
10 cents to 81 per acre, for which
reason Commissioner Brinker expects
a largely increased revenue from this
source. Meadow and pasture leases
must be for three years, and agricul-
tural lands for five-year periods, re-
spectively, and longer or shorter terms
will not be approved. County audi
tors, who have this work in charge,
are instructed to offer separate sec
tions for grazing, and a maximum of
800 acres for agricultural purposes

sion thereof may be offered, the land

ing taken to prevent renting of zigzag
shaped tracts, and subdivisions with
water privileges which will prevent
the leasing of the rest. 1t is a penal
offense for one renting land for pas

HOUSE PASSES BILL
6EvENTY-NlNE REPUBLICANS
JOIN DEMOCRATS IN PUTTING
INCOME TAX THROUGH.
SENATE MAY DEFEAT II
Measure Extends Existing Corpora
tIon Tax Law to Include One Per
Cent. on Yearly Net incomes In
Excess Of 5000.

Washington.-The Democratic in
come tax bill passed the house I'M
amended by a vote OF 249 to Al. The
bill was supported by ITO Democrats
and 70 Republicans, while the oppo-
nents Of the measure we're all Repub-
ucans.
The measure was framed by the ma
jority leaders to make up for the loss
of revenue to the government through
the removal Of the duty on sugar, as
provided by a bill which already has
been passed by the representatives.
The excise bill hes been under dis
cussion by the house for the last two
days, the debate being marked by
many speeches sharply criticizing the
decision Of the Supreme court OF the
United States by which a previous In
come tax was declared uncon-
stitutional.'
The present bill was prepared with
. view to meeting objections raised by
the highest court against it in the l1ti-
cation Of . few years ago. 1t exempts
incomes Of less than $4,000 q year.
From the time Of the first appear
ance Of the measure In the house
there were Indications that the pro-
posed legislation would be aided by
the insurgent Republicans, either &C
tively with votes or p~assively by neu-
trality. The expectations then raised
were borne out when the ballot dis
closed an overwhelming majority IN
favor Of the bill.
An outburst Of applause from the
Democratic side accompanied the n
nouncement Of the vote and was re-
newed when it wal learned that Re-
publicans had voted for the measure.
There were no Democratic votes
against the passage Of the bill.
The bill would extend the existing
corporation tax Law to include a tax
Of / per cent. on the yearly net IN
comes Of all firms or individuals In
EXCESS Of s, 900.
The Democrats declare the tax 10
one on doing business" despite the
fact that It would include salaried peo-
pie, and claim it would bring in sui
Acient revenue to Offset the estimated
loss of $50, O0O. 900 resulting from put
ting sugar on the free list.
The free sugar bill already q
gone to the senate. The excise tax
bill was sent to that body which may
defeat It.

cost of $4,000 and $4,000, which
cost was paid one-half by Lyman
county and the other half Jointly by
Mellette county. the c., M. & st. P.
railway and the Murdo Commercial
club. The White river, although not
a large stream, has always been
treacherous in times of high water, as
the water often rises several feet in
a few minutes, making it dangerous to
cross. This bridge will make the
crossing certain and safe at all times
of the year and regardless of the stage
of water.
