Formal Arrangement of Alleged
Slayer of John Steen
HAS ENGAGED AN ATTORNEY
Held Conference With His Brother;
After Which He Was Taken Before
Police Justice

1t is said that spiritualistic
medium or clairvoyant has applied
to the Martin county officials and
offered to locate the missing revolt
yer and furnish any other informa-
ton desired connected with the John
Steen murder for the sum of 5000.
But as she demanded a part OF her
fee in advance before she went into
a trance or started on her expedi-
ton into the spirit world in search
of information, her offer was not &C
cepted.
Formal arraignment of Chris Vir-
gems, charged with the murder of
John Steen, took place at Fairmont
yesterday before Justice w. c.
Gamble. Murder in the first degree
is the charge. Sheriff w. s. Car,
yer signed the complaint.
The arraignment had been post,
poned until this time at the re-
quest of the defendant. He asked
the officers to defer bringing him
into court until he had talked with
his brother Herman. His brother
visited him for a short time at the
county Jail about six o'clock Monday
evening.
1t was planned to have the ar
raignment held with as little pub
licity as possible. When Virgens
was brought into the court room al
the court house there were present
only the officers and couple Of
newspaper men. 1t soon became
known on the street, however, that
Virgens was in court and before
the proceedings. which occupied
less than fifteen minutes were over
something like thirty people had
come in.

Virgens presented woe-begone
appearance. He was haggard and

dressed in overalls and working
jacket and wore rubber boots, which
are supposed to be the same foot
gear he wore the night of the muir
der as the tracks leading to tho

which has crept into the policy
forms Of one Of the surety com
panies operating in this state.
The error is all the more anus
ing on account OF the prominent
political positions of many of the
members Of the company in this
state for several years. In draw
ing the form of application the
question as to amount of life in
surance carried by the applicant
is asked, which was intended to
be followed by the question as
to the nature Of such policies
and to whom payable. But the
printer, at least he is the one ac-
cused, changed the word policies
to "politics," and in that form
the applications were sent out to
the different agents of the com
pany over the state, and the mat
ter of politics is put to the front,

TAPA BANK

John Hayes, President, Cannot be
Found-Much Forged Paper
Coming to the Front Now.

Pierre, May 5.-Bank Exami-
ner Winglield this morning took
possession Of the bank of Capa,
Of which John Hayes was presi-
dent and j. j Oesch, cashier.
This action is a result of the
failure of the Citizens State Bank
Of Fort Pierre, of which John
Hayes was president and manager
Hayes has not been heard from
for more than a week, and it
now believed that he cleared
things up and left for good when
he went to Minneapolis ten days
ago.
a lot Of forged paper is COM
ing to the front out Of the Fort
Pierre bank and the creditors are
not likely to get much out of the
wreck, which is apparently a
complete smash on account of
alleged crooked business methods
on the part of Hayes.
The Capa bank was supposed
to be all right until this morn
ing.

Considerable comment was
made during the recent session
of our state legislature on the
vote against the "anti-Cannon-
ism'' resolution introduced by a
Sphinx county member. The bull
moose majority were afraid they
could not control if the speaker s
prerogatives were taken away
from him. Within the past few
days the democratic majority in
the national house of representa-
tives have found it beneficial to
resort to some Of the old Cannon
rules in order to carry out their
party program. Such movements
have caused the Joe Cannon sta.
ute to assume a grin that won I

tion, to be Feasible

Pierre, S. d., May State
Engineer Derr has returned from
a trip with Dan Bierwagen, the
irrigation enthusiast, over the
proposed site for the very large
project now being promoted and
encouraged by Bierwagen. The
plan involves huge dam over
the Cheyenne river between Gus

which would force back the waite
into French creeks and other
tributary little streams. and the
water from that place would be
conveyed through a canal to
reservoir in the vicinity of Quinn
in the Bad Lands, where "a large
natural basin could be filled with
the reservoir water to a depth of
thirty to fifty feet.

EXPECTS TO DIE
A VIOLENT DEATH
Kearny Man Who Lost Three
Relatives in Accidents Has
Third Mishap.

Because his mother, father and SIS
ter were killed in accidents, James
Brown, So years old, of AZ Johnston
avenue, Kearny, today said he is GER
tain that he will die a violent death
He was dopbly sure about it when
late yesterday the horse attached to
his bakery wagon started to run away
in Grant avenue, Harrison.
Boiling along the road. the animal
swerved into Reynolds street with a
jerk that nearly catapulted Brown
and his helper. John Henry, of Reyn-
olds avenue, Harrison. out of the
wagon.
The runaway turned into Passaic
avenue at a mad gallop and the
wagon almost upset. Then, in front
of E. w. McClave Sons Lumber
Company. the mad career of the
vehicle was halted by a telegraph
pole.
Brown landed against a solidly
built fence Henry was flung be-
meath the wagon and escaped with
bruises.
This is the third accident Brown
himself. has been in and he insists
with evident earnestness that 1t will
not be the last.
