From the Clark Jail

Clark, S. D., July 23.-Geo. Grit
in, the Elrod pool room keeper, WHO
vas sentenced by the circuit court il
May to serve -four months in jail and
pay a fine Of $500 for permitting the
playing of Kelley pool in his place of
business, made his escape from the
Clark county Jail late Saturday even
ing.
Griffin, in some manner, obtained
possession of a saw with which he
sawed through several of the iron
bars in front Of the window and made
his escape. The jailer missed him
when he came in to lock him in the
cell about 9 o'clock. Just why he took
his mean to escape is hard to tell,
as thr authorities had sEven him
considerable liberty during the day
time, permitting him to work about
the courthouse yard without a-special
guard. He had also engaged the ser
vices of an attorney who was pre-
pairing the necessary papers to be pre-
sented to the circuit judge asking for
his parole or a suspension Of his sen
tence in conformity with the provis-
ions Of the new 1913 statute.
At last reports he had not been To-
Gated, although he was seen boarding
a west bound train out of Aberdeen
yesterday afternoon.

Weed Campaign is
Started by Attorney

A. l.. Sherin, county attorney is
sending out a circular letter to every
township supervisor of public high
ways in which he advises them Of
the state law that makes it necessary
that they see that all noxious weeds
on vacant londs and along roadsides
in their township be cut.
AtiCle "a Of the political code and
especially sections 3176 to and in
GLIDING 1854 provide for the manner
in which such action is to be taken:
Every overseer of highways of
every township or county shall also.
at the same time and in like manner.
destroy all such noxious weeds, either
on the highways of his road district
or on any ~unoccupied land therein up.
on which the owner or lessee thereof
Shall neglect or refuse so to do. and
fer which service such overseer of
highways Shall receive as compensa-
ton a sum to be fixed by the board
of county commissioners to be paid
OF: Of the general county fund: Pro-
viGed. however, that the compensa-
ton for said services shall not be
than two dollars per day"
The word "overseer" of highways
will now be construed to mean super
under the new road laws.
1t is the duty of every overseer un-
der this law to see to it that all noX-
lCus weeds are cut at once, not only
the highways but on any vacant
property where they may exist. This
'cticn will not only improve the con-
litiOn and appearance of the roads
Jul will be a great benefit to thaI
property abutting the roads and pre-
'ont the spread Of these undesirable
iii" supervisors do not need to at.
end t. this matter personally but are
empowered to hire the help required
% cut the weeds and order the bill
oaid Out of the general county fund.
Section 1882 provides a penalty of
lot less than s. fine nor more than
$50 fine for the failure of any super
to perform this duty.
Although he does not expressly say
o one is led to believe that the coun
y attorney intends to vigorously pros
any supervisor who does not
with this request and is de-
Crinined that all weeds be done away
With as the law provides.

Morrison Mystery is
Solved; Body Found

lermillion Republican: The find
Ilg Of a body Oh a sandba1 on thf

= On bridge at Sioux City on Monday
afternoon last, has solved he myster,
Of he disappearance. of Clarenre ant
henry Morrison who left NibOrg or
the evening OF Jnly 3. to drive a motai
car to Sioux City, and who were mol
heard of after that All ntheI
theories as to the probable cause q
their disappearance have been eXiDlod
ID, md the cold fact remains ma
the two boys met their death in the
waters of the Missouri river.
The body was found shortly after
four O'Clock Monday afternoon by
some fishermen who were fishing or
the Nebraska side Of the river. Ihey
at once called the authorities from
South Sioux City, and the coroner
from Homer was notified and went at
once to the scene. 1t was decided
that no inquest was necessary. and
the Coroner ordered the nemOval Of
the body to an undertaking establish.
ment at Sioux City. The brother Of
the boys at Viborg was notified and
he went to Sioux City as fast as an
automobile could carry him, and he
positively identified the body as that
OF his brother Clarence. The body
was unrecognizable, and identiticslipN
was made from articles found in tb"
boys pockets and which he was
known to have in his possession when
he left home on that last fatal ride. !
The body was prepared for burial
and was taken to the home at NibUrg
where it was laid to rest.
The finding of the body has set at
rest all conjectures rs to the possible
fate of the two boys. 1t is known
that they met their death in the Mis-.
gouri river. The finding of the body
of one of the boys has served to re.
double the energies of the searchcrs,
and every possible effort will be made
TO locate and recover the body of
Henry Morrison, and the recovery of
the machine in which they were rid
ing when they went to their death.
A new clue has developed as to the I
possible point where they went into
the river, and this Is said to indicate
a point near VermiIlion. This is
probably below the city where the :,
boys might have taken a road leading
south instead of following the track
east. Searchers from Viborg will
have the river dragged at this point, !
and all points where 1t might have l
oeen possible for the boys to have l
into the river with the car.
Morrison was driving the auto. I
and it is likely that his body
was so pinned under the steering I
gear that it could not be washed out l
by the river. +
The reward of $3.50 for the finding {
of the body of Clarence Morrison was
paid within ten minutes after the !
brother Of the boys had reached {
Sioux City and positively identified
body as that of his missing broth /
