FAMILY REUNION
Interesting Gathering of Rela.
tives Long Separated at
Egan

Egan, June ia. r. Baker, of
HOPE, N. D., VIM. Baker of Seticoy,
Cal, and Ms. C.. Fl. Green, the latter
a resident of Egan. were the principals
in an interesting family reunion here.
Mrs. Green is a sister of the North Da-
kota and California men, and this was
the first time they had met for a period
of sixty.one years.
Sixty-one years ago VIM. Baker left
his eastern home and made the over
land journey to California in search of
wealth and adventure. He found both
and has since resided in the golden
state. Later the other members of the
family became separated and scattered
and the girl married and all trace of
her was lost. AS the years rolled by
the California member of the family,
not hearing from his brother or sister,
supposed they were dead and gave up
all hope of eve seeing them again.
Recently a daughter of the North
Dakota member of the family Was
visiting in California and CHANGED to
run across her uncle there, who
through her was informed that his
brother was alive and well and resided
at Hope, N. d. VIM. Baker immedi-
ately started for North Dakota, and
about the time he arrived there the
North Dakota brother had succeeded
in ascertainipg that their sister was
alive and we'll and resided in Egan, so
the brothers lost no time in coming to
South Dakota and the reunion be-
tween the two brothers and sister
followed after a separation of more
than three score years.
VIM. Baker is So years of age and
his brother is 75, the sister being a
few years younger than the latter. All
three are enjoying the best of health
and promise to live for many years
longer.

AFTER MANY YEARS
Husband Grown Rich Finds
Wife in an Almshouse

Kansas City, Kan, JuDe 10 A
strange little a with all the ele-
ments of the old time melodrama was
enacted at the Wyandotte county poor
farm, at Horanif, when William p.
Johns drove up in "A big motor car and
clasped in his arms the wife he lad be-
lieved was dead.
For several years the quiet. little
and sad faced woman had lived at
the farm. She was the one always
called upon to nurse the sick. She
was so patient and her touch so
gentle; she always knew when and
how to de the right thing, and was
so motherly about it. No one knew
more about her than that her name
vas Elizabeth; her age 80.
"My story doesn't interest anyone"
she would say.
But, fortunately for her, the records
of the state of Kansas contained her
story. and through them two persons
we're made happy. Years ago William
p. Johns and his wife, Elizabeth,
lived on a farm in Wyandotte county
Mrs. Johns mind became affected and
she was sent to the state hospital. at
Topeka. Several years later she was
discharged as cured. No one came to
claim her. She found her husband
had sold his farm and gone west.
She could find nu trace of him.
Worry caused a return of her old
malaidy and she was sent to the
Grandview sanstorium at the expense
of the county. In a few months she
recovered. Penniless and alone, she
was sent to the poor farm. That was
three years ago.
A few days ago a fine appearing,
gray haired man with u diamond in his
shirt front. another in a ring, drove
his morton car up to the Office OF u. s.
Sartin, county auditor. From there
he drove to the Office of John P.
Sims, probate Judge. He had just
come from Topeka, and from the pro-
bate judges office the trail led him to

STATE FAIR


Huron, June 10. - With the purchase
of additional grounds the state fair
board will this yeal be able to set
aside n Of the buildings..as press head
quarters, the same to be in charge of
George A. Starring. superintendent of
the publicity department of the South
Dakota State Fair. and j. F. Halli-
day, secretary of the Stats Press as
ISOLATION. The board will endeavor
to make this as attractive and con.
v~enient for the newspaper fraternity
as possible,
Another matter to which the board
wishes to call especial attention, is
the fact that the older state fairs are
advertising a futurity, and that they
have insugursted for the first time
this year, what is known as the
South Dakota State Fair Futuiity.
The board is DESTROYS of reaching all
the breeders of standard bred horses in
this state. A full description of the
futurity will be found on the bottom of
the early closing events list which the
board has been sending out. All
breeders are earnestly requested to
patronize the futuIity, as it is offered
purely as an encouragement to the
breeder, and it is hoped that all will
take advantage of it.
The present prospects for a great
state fair were never better. The
space reservation is one-third greater
than aver before. The attractions are
greater and more of them, and Of a
character that will appeal to all.
