PICTURE CARDS IRON
NAN SUPPOSED DEAD

Terraville, S. Dixie hearing
from the dead was the receipt yes
terday by friends here of picture pcs
tai cards from WIN am Rawston, a
former resident of this part OF the
Black Hills, who several years ago
departed for Globe, Ariz: Within a
few weeks after his departure a re-
port was received here that he had
been killed; in the wreck of a freight
train in New Mexico. The report was
generally credited and. Rawston's
friends had since mourned him as
dead. The first knowledge his friends
had that he yet was in. the land of,
the living was, as. stated, yesterday;
when a.number of them receivedtpos-
tai cards containing views taken in
the Canadian northwest. Their sur
prise can" beeimagined when they
turned the cards over and saw writ
ten there the signature civilian
Rawston." How the report originate
ed that he had been killed, in New
Mexico is'a mystery. 10 appears that
after remaining at Globesforsa time
he drifted to other parts of the conn
try and finally to the British North
west. He will return. TO. his former
hauRtsa in the Black. Hills within a
few days and his friends are planning
a warm welcome for him.

PARTY LEADERS
GATHER IN CITY
REGULARS FROM REPUBLICAN,
RANKS ASSEMBLE TODAY FOR
CONFERENCE.

Members of the regular ranks in
the republican party OF South Dakota
gathered in the city today for a re-
view of the enrolment thus far OF
voters under the provisions of the
Richards primary. That the enroll
ment will eventually total more than
the vote asst in the last general cleo
ton was indicated by the fignres on
hand, this afternoon.
The vote for governor in November
1912, amounted to O,9OO and the
enrolment for 81 counties of the
state thus for compiled totals $3.50,
indicating that many voters did not
exercise their prerogatives in the last
general election. The republicans
have enrolled voters to the number
of 1850 and the democrats 12,453.
There are 724 prohibition voters en-
rolled LOIS socialists, 212 independ-
ents and l12 ~progressives.
In Day county the enrolment fig
ures show that while only 1869 votes
were cast for governor 2.544 votes
have registered. In Codington county,
with 2,517 votes cast in the general
election there are now 2,717 voters
enrolled.
Members of the party at today's
conferences were II. b. Roberts and
j. l.. Loekhart of Pierre; j. C. Sim
mons, of Aberdeen; Ernest Jackson,
of Dallas. and II. j. Woods, of Sioux
Fails. Several Mitchell republicans
were in attendance.
There is no political significance
to the gathering" said Mr.. jackson,
when approached on the matter. LAS
chairman of the committee selected
ht the Sioux Falls meeting. / selected
a subcommittee to attend to the
registration. The time having about
expired for registering, / called the

to close up the business, hear the re-
port of the committee and decide
what. if anything was necessary to do
Tor the good of the cause. The meet
ing will be held this evening and /
viii be glad to. give you in detail. the
result OF the work of the committee,
as soon as it is acted upon.

HIS ESCAPE.

One of the old familiar devices

ace OF success at the Western Nat
lonal bank. late yesterday afternoon,
but The suspicion of The officials of
the institution frustrated the scheme.
Inc man attempting the scheme, who
mad given he name of George Moul-
ton, made his escape after a sprint
down Main street.
About noon the stranger. who pre-
tended To- be a buyer of stock from
Fonda, 1a,, came into the bank and
shaved two check books upon Fonda
banks. He stated that he had an
account with both. and asked that the
bank honor a check for SOS, which
he, signed with the name of Moulton.
A telegram was written to q Fonda
bank to ascertain the truth of his
claim and asking IL identification
could be waivcd. =
The telegram a signed by the
stranger and by him taken to the
Western Union Office. After several
hours wait, an answer was received,
stating that Monltt*l had an account
in the bank, but that he was in Fonr
da at the time and the man using
his name in Mitchell was an imposter.
An attempt was made 10 detain the
stranger in the bank, but he became
suspicious and ram out of the build
ing and down Main street TO the Mil
waukee depot just before Sheriff
John Berry arrived. He was seen to
go behind some freight ears and IA
search last night failed Il reveal his
whereabouts.
The stranger was dressed in an
overcoat lined with shetp-skin, wore
a black slouch hat and was about 25
years of age. He was about S feet
and 9 inchee tall and weighed about
$50 pounds. One finger-nail on his
left hand was crushed and he wore q
red jersey sweater yesterday, so it
may be possible that he will be iden-
tilted when he attempts to work the
scheme again.

tanned a football. 1t is in the shape

FAULKTON BANK
IS TAKEN OVER
DEPARTMENT OF BANKING IN
CHARGE PENDING APPOINT.
MENT OF ADMINISTRATOR
FOR LATE PRESIDENT.

Pierre. S. D.-The state banking
department this morning took charge
of the Security State bank of Faulk-
ton. The bank officials turned over
the affairs, with Deputy V. II. Mast
ers in charge.
The bank had a 80 per CEN reserve
on hand and the cause of the suspen-
sion is the fact that practically all
the stock of the bank was held by
the Morse estate and that no admin
istrator has been appointed for that
estate since the death of Morse, pre-
sident of the bank.
Bank irregularities were discover
ed and while the bank had a reserve
larger than normal. it was turned
over to the department for tie protec-
tion of all parties at interest.

$50 AN ACRE PROFIT
TAKEN FROM DRY LAND

Spearfish. S. D.-To realize n pro-
fit of more than $50 an acre in one
season from dry ranch land is the
record made during the past season
by r.. e. Rnshton. a we'll known ran
cher living near town. He owns n dry
ranch and twenty-five acres OF it is
devoted to alfalfa. One cutting of'the
alfalfa hay amounted to two and one
half tons per acre. This gave him Il
return of $50 per acre from the TWEEN
ty-five acre tract. He let the second
crop go to seed, and has just com
pleted the work of threshing, secur-
ing 100 bushels of seed. or an av-
erage of four bushels per acre. The
alfalfa seed is worth on the market
from $40 to $12 per bushel, so thai
from the seed and hay chop raised
on the twenty-five acres he had a re
turn equal to $50 an acre. This MAX
es the tract one of the most profit
able in the state this year.

term of fifteen days in Jail, and be-
fore he completes this q charge OF

some corn-husking mitts and in pay
ment rendered a check for $12.75,
