DIES, BROKEN
BY WIFE'S ACT
FATHER OF RAPID CITY GIRL
SHOT BY HER MOTHER PASS
ES AWAY AT CHICAGO.

Rapid City, S. D.-Behind news
briefly contained in a dispatch from
Chicago announcing the death there
of Charles Harbour, formerly of
Rapid City, lies the echo of a trag-
edy that aroused this section four
years ago. At the time Harbour who
was in the saloon business here but
had q good reputation, resided with
his wife and her daughter Rosa by
a former marriage. The girl who
was 16 years old, was a particularly
attractive and popular school girl,
was shot one afternoon al the fam
lily home by her mother, who alleged
an accident but during the trial, it
developed that the mother had be-
come tired of the girl and had APP
parently attempted to rid herself of
her presence by murder. Mrs. Har-
bour was tried and convicted and
sentenced to a long term in the state
prison at Sioux Falls where she now
is. Harbour spent everything he had
to save his wife and, penniless and a
nervous wreck, he went east after the
conviction. He developed tuSercu-
losis and went gradually down hill,
worry over his wife being attributed
as the cause of his ill health and
dnal demise.
