Sioux Falls The residents of the

conferred upon an individual named
H. G. Chaden, who for time worked
as a day laborer at White River, a
new town and county seat of the new
county of Mellette, who has disap-
peared, it is alleged, with SAC of coffin
money which had been entrusted to
him by Red Shirt, Brule Sioux war
rior, residing ION the Rosebud reser-
walton.
A son of Red Shirt died and the
father gave Shaden the SAC and hired
him to drive to Rosebud agency and
purchase a coffin for his dead son with
the money. Shaden arrived at the
agency all right, but almost. imme-
diately engaged a rig and drove to
Valentine, Neb., where he had supper
at hotel, taking an eastbound train
soon afterward in such haste that it is
alleged he forgot to pay the hotel
man the price of the meal.
In the meantime there was anxiety
IN the Red Shirt home, and the return
of Shaden with the coffin was eagerly
awaited, but Shaden appeared not.
After holding the corps three days
beyond the allotted time in hope that
Shaden would yet appear, the father
of the dead young Indian was forced

Dakota Missionary safe.

Sioux Falls.-For some weeks rela-
tives and friends in South Dakota
had entertained fears of the gravest
character. as to 'the-fate of Miss Win
nifred Stout, who for some time has
been engaged in the mission service
in China, going from Turner county,
where she was raised to womanhood.
Fears for her safety now have been
allayed by receipt of letter from
her, dated at Chentu, where herself
and other missionaries are shut up
because the viceroy cannot give them
sufficient escort down the river and
the country is full of rowing robbers
and murderers. Miss Stout has hopes
of being able to leave Chentu about
February l, but states that they are
liable to be held at Chentu for some
months.

Jack Rabbit Crop Is Bumper.

Miller.-For the first time in many
years the jack rabbit crop this year
is excellent, and many farmers in the
more sparsely settled portions of the
state are making considerable sums of
money by hunting the rabbits and
selling them to butchers who ship
them east. where they are more high
ly esteemed as an article of food. Dur
ing the great snowfall of the winter of
1867, jack rabbits became very nu-
merous, but next winter many were
killed off by disease. They have not
been very plentiful since until this
winter.
