HAPPENINGS OVER THE STATE

That is of Interest to the Read
ers Throughout South Da-
kota and Vicinity.

Sioux Falls.-One Of the latest pris-
oners to be lodged in the Sioux Falls
penitentiary is George Redding, con-
victed in the state circuit court Of
Lawrence county of the charge of ar
son and sentenced to a term Of three
years and eight months.
The case is n Of the most ~celebrat-
ed arson cases eve tried in the state.
One of the principal witnesses against
Redding was a young man named Hell
mer Christopherson, formerly of Lead,
who is serving a term in the Sioux
Falls ~penitentiary for robbery COM
mitted at the Smead hotel in Lead last
summer. He was taken under guard
so he could testify in the Redding
case and then returned to the peniten-
tiary.
Redding was convicted of setting
fire to and destroying the residence
of James c. Murray, in Red Water val
ley, the crime having been committed
on August 10, 1909. Shortly before
the fire was discovered a man on an
adjoining place saw a man on horse
back approach the Murray place. and
a few minutes later three other men
saw Redding coming from the Murray
place. 1t was shown that Redding
was in an intoxicated condition that
day, and in a dangerous and ugly
mood, and that previously he had
made threats to get even with Murray,
whom he claimed owed him money.
Several witnesses testified to the
threats.

GROCER WAS SCARED.
binds Huge and Extremely venomous
Snake in Bananas.

snake IN bahanas
Sioux Falls.-Hiney Holman was
given a fright that he will not forget
for some time. Mr.. Holman conducts
a grocery store on North Main ave-
nue.. Mr.. Holman hung up a fresh
bunch of bannaas in the front win
dow. A customer came in and asked
for some bananas and Mr.. Holman
waltzed up to the bunch and stuck out
his hand to grasp a bunch Of the gold
en- fruit. His hand did not reach the
fruit, as about this time the head Of a
snake came forth and reached for Mr..
Romans hand.
Mr.. Holman was a little shaky for
a few minutes, not knowing just what
to do. Finally he procured a long
stick and began stirring up the ba-
N The result was the crawling
out from among the fruit Of what Is
termed a banana snake about five feet
long. The snake is not partial to this
climate and was rather logy, so it was
not much of an effort to dispatch it,
which Mr.. Holman did.
The snake is said to be very poison
u and the wonder is that some one
did not get bit, as the bunch Of ba-
nanas must have passed through sew
eral hands on its way to Sioux Falls.

Sudden Death at kimbaII,

Kimball.-This village was very
much shocked by the sudden death of
Henry Wentzy a few days Ago.. No
body seems to have known he was very
i'll, until his death was announced.
The cause of death was liver trouble
and an old stomach ailment. Some
time after 3 o'clock on the morning
of his death he arose and asked Mrs.
Wenzy to shake up" his bed, after
which he lay down again and she left
the room, only to be alarmed a few
minutes later by the peculiar sound
of his breathing. Re-entering his
room, she found him unconscious.
There were a few minutes Of a fiut-
tering pulse, and then he quietly pass
ed into the great unknown. Deceased
had been a resident of Kimball since
1885.

When Mamma Failed to Beam.

A little girl, who attracted all the
passengers on the tram car with her
singular sweetness, was asked by a
lady who sat next to her: And did
Santa Claus bring you a dolly at
Christmas?"
Yes. indeed" said the little girl,
and all the passengers smiled, while
the mother beamed at the attention
her child was receiving.
He brought me two dolls" contin-
ued the child to the strange lady, land,
do you know, the hair on n of my
dolls heads comes right off-just like
mammals"
And every one smiled again, but the
mother did not beam.

Eaqle Cauuht in Wolf Tran.

Pierre.-A wolf trapper near Eagle
Butte caught a large golden eagle in
one of his traps, and after a battle
with the bird, which was caught by
one foot, he brought it to Eagle Butte
and sold it to a merchant for exhibit
ton purposes. On account of their
feathers, and the difficulty in captur-
ing them, these eagles have always
been held in high value by the Sioux
Indians, and one of the Indian resi-
dents near Eagle Butte has offered one
of his best horses in trade for the
eagle.
