BODY OF A. ]. ROTH FOUND
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
Man Who was Lost Near Dunham Had
Evidently Perished from
Exposure.

The body Gf a. J. Roth, for whom
searching parties had been securing
the woods since the man became lost
while hunting near Durham, was found
Thursday afternoon. He had evidently
been dead for a number of days. The
discovery was made by Carl Berglund
and Gust Krohn.
Last Saturday afternoon A. j. Roth
in company with Julius Sjoquist and
James Durkee notored to Dunham and
went from there into the woods on a
hunting expedition. They intended to
return Sunday evening and when the
time for the return trip came Roth fail
ed to put in an appearance. Sjoquist
and Durkee returned to Ironwood late
Sunday evening and gave the alarm
that Roth was lost. A party was oyga.
nized that evening and went down on
the late train to make an effort to To-
cate the man. Other parties went to
Dunham on Monday and during the
week hundreds of men secured the
woods in search of Roth, but their eff
forts were fruitless until Thursday af.
rernoon when his body was found few
miles from the town of Dunham. The
city of Ironwood had altered a reward
of 500 for the finding of the man,
dead or alive.
When it became known that Roth
was lost it at first gave rise to the
opinion that he had been shot or injur-
ed in some other manner. but when
the body was found there was nc out
ward marks that he had met with in
juries and it is thought that he died
from exposure to the elements, he be-

he was not clothed for such weather
and also that bis supply of matches

DO|NGS IN THE LOCAL
MUNICIPAL COURT.
RObt. Gill and Joseph LeGendre Bound
Over to Circuit Court on
Arson charge.

The hearing of Robt, Gill and Joseph
LeGendre on a charge of arson in con-
nection with the Defer fire at Saxon
and which occupied the attention of
the municipal court greater part OF
last week was concluded Saturday and
the defendants were bound over to the
circuit court. which convenes in De-
cember. Gill's bail was fixed at $1,000
and LeGendre S at S2000,. They failed
to furnish bail and were committed.
The evidence against these men was
all circumstantial but of such nature
that Judge Thomas deemed it expe-
dent to send them to the higher court
Suspicious circumstances connected with
the case was the fact that both Gill and
LeGendge failed to account far their
actions between l1;45 ana l2:25. on
the night of the fire they admitted hav-
ing been in DeFer's saloon and togeth-
er they left *here at II as. Gill says

three blocks from the salocn. LeGen-
DIRE says he went directly to the North
western depot. Testimony showed that
Gill arrived home at 1925 and also
that LeGendre arrived at the depot at
II :25 The fire alarm was given at 80
at which time LeGendre was conversing
with the operator at the depot, who
called LeGend.es attention to the fire
IN DeFer's store. Gill claims to not
having heard the fire alarm and knew
nothng of the fire until the next mo-n-
ing. Tenants in the Gill house all heard
the alarm and were at the fire. An
other suspicious circumstance was that
ten gallons of gasoline was stolen
from the Northwestern pump house on
the night of the fire, and the nature of
the fire at the time of its discovery
showed that it probably was started
with gasoline.
Mike Oya's hearing. which had been
postponed from Oct. 10, was finished
Tuesday and he was bound over to the
circuit court On the night of Oct. II,
0ya was captured by Frank Younger
while in the act of taking merchandise
from a car standing in the Northwes-

and Oya broke the seal to gain en-
trance. Oya is Finnish farmer resid-

Heart On 2 Side

Yankton. Jan, 14.-Yankton doc
tors have had a unique case under
their charge at Sacred Heart hospit-
al. Victor Hirsch of Scotland was
brought to the Yankton hospital suf-
fering from intense pain in the left
side. His case was diagnosed as ap-
pendicitis and the patient was pre-.
pared for operation. Upon examina-
ton for ability to take an anesthetic
1t was found that the heart was To-
Gated on the right side. When the
physicians operated, they found that
the positions of all organs were re,
versed, the heart being on the right
side, the appendix on the left side
and all the other organs reversed in
location in like manner. Mr. Hirsch
is a strong man and shows no signs

the corn crop of the United States
will stand at a low figure when 1t
comes to average acre yields. In
the United States in 1910 there were
about 4,3l5,6 $50 acres of land de-
voted to the raising of corn. This
land vas planted to corn of approx
mately IS per cent termination. In
other words, the farmers of the
United States were cultlvating over
sixteen million acres on which they
grew no corn. At an average cost
of producing an acre of corn, in
addition to the 446. 05O, 900 bushels
lost. the farmers actually lost in
money about $500, 000, 900. These
preventable losses must be eliminat-
ed if we wish to grow more and bet
ter corn in South Dakota.

The Winter Care of Seed Corn.
BY A. w. Palm.

In a previous article in the press
of the state the subject of selecting

This article will deal with the care
of seed corn during the winter
months. 1t is just as important to
MAINTAIN the vitality as it is that the
corn possess vitality when selected
during the fall of the year.
After the corn has been thorough
ly dried, the important things to
provide for it is to keep it dry. to
keep the temperature from varying
too much and to keep it out of the
reach Of rats and mice. Any sort of
a room where these conditions can
be had will be found suitable for
storing the seed corn.
There are various systems in use
for the storing of seed corn after il
has become thoroughly dried, and
it is simply a question of preserving
it in good condition until planting
The corn should always be stored in

should be done during the early WIN

ing NAY be mentioned the following:

are placed just far enough apart to
