stout, with sandy hair and moustache,
was found in an alfalfa field just
northeast of Salina. He had five bull
let holes in his body and his head had
been crushed, presumably with the
butt end of heavy revolver. The body
had laid in the field for three or four
days. A tattoo on one arm was too
faint for Identification. The surround

shot while asleep. Three dollars and
quarter in his pocket indicated that
robbery was not the cause of the muir

Another of the early settlers
of Swan Lake, and who with his
vile is still living on the old
homestead farm, is T.. p Good
hope (Sorenson). He lived IN
the old stone house On the Yank-
ton road in section thirty-two
and was we'll known to all the
ea' ly settlers who travelled the
old stage roa, from Yankton to
Sioux Falls. For several
years he kept a herd of
cattle on the school section
mile west of his home. He
raised up large family Of child
rem, most of whom have married
and settled around him. Of his
daughters, Martena was mis-
sion wol ker in the Advent
churh and died quite a long time
ago; Minnie married Nels Kier,
and she is also dead; both are
buried in the Advent cemetery
near the Advent church. Mr..
Goodbope has prospered and
owns several quarter sections of
valuable Turner County land.
Nels Pepper and Nels Peter
Myers, two close neighbors of
Mr.. Goodhope, we're among the
pioneers. In the harvest of
1874 they helped to furnish
the crew that followed the old
Climax selfrake reaper owned
by Edgerton and myself to bind
around the big fields of waving
grain. Myers has been dead
many years. he was nearly blind
and one foggy morning he got
lost while trying to find his way
into the field. MIR. Pepper is
still living but has sold his farm
and moved farther west. Other
members of that harvest crew

The corn pickers are all busy so
the daily attendance in high school
is rather slim at present.
Misses Florence McLatchy and
Naomi Corkill were grammar room
visitors Tuesday morning.
Lectures were in order in some of
the lower grades Tuesday morning.
Principle Miss Willsie was absent
Wednesday afternoon on account of
sickness.
Miss Vera Gorton visited the High
School Wednesday afternoon.
Don't fail to attend the recital
to be given by the High School at
the Athletic Hall Thursday evening,
Nov. 81. The receipts from this
entertainment will be used to build
up the library.
The new library books have been
received. There are about fifty of
them along the lines of fiction,
science, poetry, biography, etc. This
slightly overdraws the apportion-
ment for the school and the balance
must be made up in some other way.
Excuse breifness of notes this
week because my assistant is little
under the weather and has been un-
able to come to school. He was
present Wednesday morning but did
not stay very long. DOC" says he
thinks it is too much late hours.,'
