MYSTERY IN DEATH

That Is Of Interest to the Read.
ers Throughout South Da.
kota and Vicinity.

Hurley.-Mystery surrounds the
sudden death of Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew
Jensen, who lived on the south line Of
Turner county. They were discovered
by neighbors Saturday noon in bed.
Mr.. Jensen was dead and his wife
was unconscious, dying a. few hours
later. The theory advanced is that
their death was caused by gas from
the hard coal stove, but appearances
showed that he had been dead for at
least "a hours, while she was still
alive, though unconscious. The stom-
achs and other organs have been sent
to the state university for analysis.
The tensions had no children and lived
alone, and it was when neighbors no.
ticed the deserted appearance of the
place that they made an examination
that resulted. in the discovery. They
were not known to have kept money
in the house and no evidence of rob-
berry could be found. They lived in
the neighborhood for some years. Mrs.
Jensan had son by former mar
riage who lives in Seattle. Mr.. Jen-
sons parents live near here.
A coroner's jury was impanelled and
adjourned, awaiting report from the
university.

Affinity Party Is SURPRISED.

Lead.-Social circles here are agog
over a denouement to the domestic
difficulties of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel
Walsh, we'll known residents. Discord
in the Walsh family came to a focus
last evening when woman giving
the name of Mrs. Kate Walsh, said to
be Walsh's affinity, met Mrs. Daniel
Walsh on the street, it is claimed, and
insulted her.
Mrs. Walsh had the woman arrested
and in municipal court the alleged af-
finity was fined 500 by Judge Rogers.
The husband at once paid the woman's
fine and she was released. This SO
reused the wife's anger that she laid
for the pair and with the aid of po-
liceman, later in the evening broke in
to the woman's room in prominent
hotel here and there she found her
husband and his affinity. She swore
to a new complaint and both were
lodged in the county Jail. The
Washes have two children. Walsh
represents an Omaha brewing house.

CHURCHES ARE UNITED.
Congregational Church Of Lead United
with Presbyterian Society.

Congregational Church Of Lead United
with Presbyterian Society.
Lead.-What is regarded as one OF
the first steps in an effort to amalga
mate and consolidate some of the diff
ferent Protestant churches occurred
here when members of the local Con.
gregational church, the pioneer church
in Lead, voted to unite with the Pres
byterian church here, the latter alb
sorbing the Congregationalists which
voluntarily deed over their property
here. Hereafter the Presbyterian
church will embody the two congrega-
lions and the Sunday schools as we'll.
Following this action a business meet
ing was held at which Rev. W. H.
Thrall, Congregational conference su-
perintendent, presided and both Pres
byterian anu Congregational ministers
from the various Hills towns were
present. It was agreed that steps
will be taken in each of the Hills
towns where there are two churches,
in some cases the Congregationalists
absorbing the Presbyterians and in
others the exact opposite. The pres
ent move has brought out much dis
cussion and some informal efforts to
extend it to other Protestant church
es in the Hills, but as yet no general
meetings have been called or direct
results obtained.

Fear That Ice coraes viii Form.

Pierre.-Reports from down river
points indicate fear of ice gorges
in the Missouri when the ice starts to
move. Usually at this season the ice
is very rotten, and when it moves it
soon grinds into slush. But this year
the zero weather so far through March
has held it firm, and If it should break
with a sudden thaw, the cakes which
would start down stream would be
heavy enough to hold something if
they got located right for starting a
gorge, and the fear has considerable
more foundation that it has in the
average spring.
