several thousand fruit and foliage

product.
He tried two sorts of tree salesmen:
first, those whom he knew to be hon
est. then those whom he knew were
dishonest. The former could sell no
trees, the latter took voluminous or
ders, but 1t cost Thomson more in
law suits to straighten out the work
of the dishonest agents tina there was
profit In the undertaking. He quit
the nursery business and taking his
stock OF trees set them on SEVENTH
five acres of a homestead. Now he
has orchards which bear 10000 bus-

SIOUX FALLS RESORT KEEPER
CONVICTED AS white 81 AVEE

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Oct. 26.-Gui!ty
on the first ballot as charged in the
Indictment, was the verdict returned
by a jury in the federal court last
night in the Case Of the United States
VS.. Hortense Rich, keeper of a Sioux
Falls resort, indicted on the charge Of
violating the Mann act, otherwise
known rs the white slave law. The
precise charge against the defendant
was that last June she went to st.
Paul and induced two young women
to come to Sioux Falls and enter her
resort, the government offering testi-
mony to the effect that Mrs. Rich paid
the transportation for the two girls and
accompanied them to Sioux Falls. The
defense offered testimony in denial of
this, but it evidently had no effect
with the jury.
A sensational sequel of the case was
the arrest last night on an information
sworn out by United States Attorney
Wagner, of Clarence S. Miles, of st.
Paul, who, in June, was proprietor Of
the Windsor hotel in ST. Paul, the in
formation charging Miles with perjury,
when he testified for the defense in
the Rich case. Miles testified in sub
stance that he himself purchased the
transportation for the girls at the re-
quest of one of them who was a guest
OF his hotel. and that Mrs. Rich had
nothing to do with the girls coming to
Sioux Falls.
