SENSATIONAL CHARGES

A sensation was created here last
Tuesday afternoon when Coroner Doty
OF Coleman, came over and placed
Sheriff Erickson under arrest on a
statutory charge preferred against him
by Bessie Ullom, who has been an in
mate of the reform school at Plank
ington since January 1st.
\ preliminary hearing was held
Wednesday forenoon, and enough of
evidence introduced to warrant Justice
Hoover to hold Mr.. Erickson under
$4,000 bonds to appear at the mex
term of court to answer the charge.
Many rumors have been in circula-
ton as to the merits or dement's of the
case, and in justice to all the Herald
deems it best to give the following
facts which it has learned from re'ia-
BILE sources:
About the first of December Bessie
Ullom was brought before Judge
Krause by her parents. 1t seems she
was a hard girl to manage. She had
run away from home several times and
had visited several towns without their
consent. At that time she promised to
do better and she was allowed to re-
turn home. She did not behave very
long and ran away again.
On the 31st of December she was
again brought before Judge Krause.
Attorney Warren represented the state
at both times and after a hearing
Judge Krause committed her to the re-
form school at P~lankinton. That
night she vas placed in charge Of
Sheriff Erickson and kept in Jail. Next
morning Mr.. Erickson and his sister
Ruth, who kept house for him at the
time, together with the Ullom girl and
John ~Ingvalson drove in an auto to
Egan to catch the morning train south.
AS he could get right through to Plank
ington that day he did not take his
sister along as he at first intended to
do. He and his prisoner left Egan at
$40 and went straight through to
Plankinton, stopping at Canton a few
minutes for lunch. They arrived at
Plankinton at 600 that evening, were
met at the depot by an auto with two
people in and driven to the reform
school.
Miss Ullom was placed in the school
and the sheriff left about 8 o'clock,
getting back that night to Canton.
where he remained until next morning
and then returned to Flandreau.
1t was while at the Jail that the
plaintiff claims she was wronged.
Sheriff Erickson claims that her par
ents were there until a late hour, and
that other people were there all night
and that it was absolutely impossible
to commit a wrong without being seen
or heard.
This is the story as the Herald was
able to get it. This paper has no
opinion to express at this time, and
suggests that the public awaits the out
come of the trial.-Flandreau Herald.

HOW TO DESTROY WEEDS

"a Never SOW or buy seed that Is
known to contain a high percentage
OF weed seeds. It Is much easier to
prevent weeds starting than to eradi-
cate them afterwards. (2) Send
samples of seed to the State Expert
ment Station at Brookings for exami-
nation. 60 Never allow weeds to
ripen in the garden, in fence corners
or on vacant lots around the barnyard
(4) Arrange the rotation of crops so
as to bring in a cultivated crop like
corn, once in three or four years. in
order to kill weeds. 90 whenever a
bad weed is known to occur upon the
farm try some systematic method to
eradicate 1t, and follow the method
until the weed is killed. The work
must be persistent to get results. The
weeds are persistent and they get re
suits, by continually spreading from
farm to farm and state to state.
Weeds not only rob a farmer OF part
OF the crop by reducing his yield. but
also rob him of the extra price which
he could demand and obtain when the
crop Is sold.

socIALIsTIc SHORT TALK

Why should the farmer be a social
list? Because the farmer is prima rily
a producer and not a capitalist, though
1t takes some capital to run a farm
successfully.
The total amount OF capital invest
ed In farming is double that invested
in either manufactures or railroads.
Yet these two latter branches OF our
economic life yield double lat a low
estimate) the financial returns that
the farm yields. Ryan Walker clever
ly illustrates the situation In a car
toon making the farmer a small, lean,
anxious faced man in overalls, while
the railroads and manufacturing are
illustrated by men which have at.
tanned trust proportions, large, corpu-
lent, complacent, flashily dressed. TAX
ing much more space than their two
thirds OF the picture. 1t Is currently
stated-nor has the statement been
changed-that 1t takes fifty per cent
or one-half Of the value OF the farmers
product to get 1t to the consumer. He
therefore must support his family,
pay taxes and interest. and provide
for his family and pay for upkeep OF
his machinery, buildings and fences
upon half the value OF the product
that he raises, Now then Mr.. Farmer,
suppose you were living under a So
cialist regime instead Of a capitalist
one. where manufacture and transpor-
tation were conducted for public use
instead OF for private profit, how would
you profit by the change? Transports

nections are already socialixed and

TO ELIMINATE PRAIRIE DOGS

The poisoning OF prairie dogs, In
order to be most efficient, should be
conducted during winter or early
spring, for at this time their ordinary
food Is scarce or even entirely abb
sent says Prof. HI. c. SEVERN, ento-
mologist at the State College. He
gives the following method:
Dissolve liz unces of strychnia sui
plate In az gallons Of water that Is
being heated In q closed receptacle.
After the poison has been dissolved,
add q bushel OF grain and allow this
TO sinner until the moisture Is entirely
taken up by the grain-or after II has
simmered for a time, allow 1t to re-
main over night in the receptacle SO
that the moisture may be absorbed.
Il Is nov ready for distribution.
Care should be taken to distribute
this poisoned grain only on warm days,
preferably liter q storm, for It Is on
such days during the winter and early
spring that the dogs are especially
likely To come out Of their burrows.

COACH KIRBY OF
 YALE GOES HOME
English Instructor Says Showing
 of Grew Was Satisfactory

Augustus Kirby, the English rowing coach imported by w. AveriH Hartman to teach the members of the Yale crew the stroke used at Oxford University, sailed yesterday on the steamship Kaiser Wilhelm IT., in company with Edward Croker, who rowed stroke in the Yale boat, and Manager Harri- man. Two members of the victorious Harvard crew also sailed on the Kais- CT Wilhelm IT. They were A M Good ale, who rowed No. 6, and L. s. Chan Ter, stroke.
 Young Hartman declined to com. ment on the experiment of trying to introduce the English stroke at Yale, nor would he say whether the experi- ment would be repeated next year. Coach Kirby, however, expressed sat- tsfaction over the result of his trip and said the Yale rowing authorities are keen over the amateur coaching sys- tenn. and predicted that the system would be productive Of good results If given a fair trial He explained that it was impossible for any coach to teach a crew a new stroke in a single year, as 1t takes time for the men in the boat to practically unlearn all that has been taught them in their early years of rowing training. He said the visit of the British rowing coaches had been positive accomplishment in the improvement Of the spirit that prevails in regard to rowing at Yale.

New Haven Boxer No Match for

Hartford, June 25-Bunny Ford of New Haven submitted to Q decisive trimming at the hands of K O. Palitz of New London here last night in a bout of ten rounds duration. Ford was outclassed from the start and in no round had the advantage The boys had met twice before. Palitz hav- ing emerged winner in each instance
 From the start Palitz rushed in at his opponent and the bout soon devel- oped into a slugging match. both boys lacking boxing science. Pa1itz used a right and left with equal effect, while Ford specialized at dnhghting- Palttz captured honors in every round save the fourth and fifth, which were about even.
 In the ninth round Palitz tore at his opponent like a ferocious Bengal tiger fnficting punishment that caused the claret to flow from F'ord's nose, mouth and cuts over his eyes.

that there is a big fellow named Mar thuin. who held the title of French champion until last week. when he was beaten at Bordeaux by the local champion named Albert Lurte. In a furious 2O-round battle, during which the fortunes wavered and it was only in the last two rounds that Lurie could claim an advantage. The fight fans of Bordeaux consider Lurie a world beater, but he will have to im- prove on his Marthuin performance if he wants to retain his title. So con hdent are the supporters of L1rie that they have matched him with Georges Carpenter for June 29. A defeat of Lurie will put the popular Parisian into und1sputed possession of the heavy weight title of Europe and he will be in the proud position of being able to boast of having been cham pion of France at every weight from bantam weight upwards. And all this in three years.
 The advancement Of Carpenter, even with the numerous setbacks he has had, has been remarkable How ever, he needs, more weight to carry him successfully through a campaign among the big fellows, and the chan ces are that he will take on consider able nesh within the next year or two, as he is 20 years of age now. It is also possible that Carpentier will be obliged to serve his three years time in the army, although if he does he will be given every privilege by the officers to train during that time with competent boxers, as the Frenchmen are wildly enthusiastic over the young boxer and want to see him at the top or the heap Bonn bardier Wells the British champion. is also working overtime trying to get on another match with the French boy, for he realizes that his hopes have been shattered unless he can wipe out the defeat at the hands of Monsieur Car pentier.
