serve the dignity of the school man
agement.

the confession Of Joe Hickman, the
quarter blood negro who has been sem
fenced to hang on December 3 for the
murder of Mrs. Ellen Fox and her

the homestead shack of Mrs. Fox about
midnight armed with an TX. The door
was closed, and when he attempted TO
enter Mrs. Fox refused to let him enter
and slammed the door In his face and
locked 1t. Hickman broke out a panel
OF the door with his AK and unlocked
the door by reaching through the
broke panel. Then he forced his way
into the room, and when Mrs. Fox
fought him back, he struck her with
the ak on the head, four times, fol-
lowing the blows with three or -four
more on her body, She fell to the floor,
In the back. Hickman then attacked
the girl, and is thought to have at
tempted to assault; her, though he re-
fused to acknowledge that crime in his
confession. The girl resisted him, and
he struck her twice or the head with
the ak, cut off her right hand and in
flicted other injuries on her boGy.
After h woman and girl were dead,
Hickman said he carried their bodies to
the bed, poured kerosene over them
and set them on fire. Then he set fire
to the house.

Attorney r. j. Drewrey, of Bison, whd
pleaded for a life sentence. e. III. Lar

be hanged on December 5, for the muir,

TOWN AMBITIONS WILL
ENLIVEN ROBERTS COUNTY

Peever, S. D., Oct. 24.-The spring
ing into existence of several new and
ambitious towns In Roberts county
has given rise to the report that Rob
erts county will during the coming
campaign be the scene Of one of the
hottest county seat wars waged in
South Dakota for some years. New Eff
f1ngton, one of the new towns, is am
bilious to capture the county capital
from Sisseton. The residents of Will
mot. Rosholt and Veblen also are said
to have county seat aspirations for
their towns. In some quarters, particu-
larry at New Ellington and vicinity, an
effort MAJ be made to have the prop
osition of dividing the county into two
counties brought before the voters at
the election of Mex year. The adher-
ents of Sisseton naturally would Wig
orously oppose such a proposition, and
also will wage an aggressive fight to
retain the county seat of the united
county at Sisseton. One of the features
which would prove of value to the ad-
herents OF Sisseton in fighting a pro-
posed change in county seat location
is the fact that at Sisseton Is located
q modern county court house, which
was erected in accordance with author
tty granted by the voters Of the county.
