to get their land in shape to make

For some time" said Mr.. Milne,
"the water users have been dissatis-

reclamation Officials under the Belle
Fourche irrigation phoject have been
managing the affairs OF that project
and i'll view OF the fact a suit was
brought last June in the federal court

restraining order was issued and the
water WAS allowed to run until the
case was heard in the federal court

and he so rdored that the relief ask

HELD ON
ASSAULT CHARGE
YOUNG MAN ALLEGED TO HAVE
AUTHENTICITY CRIME NEAR
MIDNIGHT SATURDAY..

Will Sayles, formerly a drayman
about the city, was arrested late last
evening on the charge Of attempted
assault upon the person OF Mrs.
Louisa p. GRADER. The case will
come up for trial before Judge w.
M. Herbert in municipal court to-
morrow morning.
Evidence gathered by the police
yesterday indicated that Sayles had
been drinking Saturday night and
about midnight started out on Han
son street in a hack. He stopped AT
n place and when met at the door
by the owner, is said to have NUT
tered an excuse and started away.
Then shortly before one o'clock,
according to the story told by Mrs.
GRADER, Sayles knocked at the front
door of her residence and stated
that the wife of n of the n%eighbors
was seriously i'll and needed her as
sistance. Mrs. GRADER was loath to
believe Sayles, but started out when
she was assured that the woman was
thought to be dying. On the way, the
assault is alleged to have been at
tempted. The woman declared that
she was able to overcome her assail-
ant. who is a powerful man, because
OF his intoxicated conditions, and
escape. >
Judge Herbert placed the defend
ant under $1,000 bonds this morn
ing, and in default he was remanded
to the county Jail. Sayles has been.
in trouble with the police several
times and only recently finished a
jail sentence for having secured
small sums OF money at different
homes in the city on the plea that
he needed change and would reim-
burse the lender when he had de-
livered baggage to a neighbor.

ally. the w. S. Mott company, of Min
neapolis was awarded the contract for
500 feet of hose at a price of 81
Il foot.

redge streets. for sewers. The city en-
gineer was instructed to make the

CCSED OF KILLING DIR. HELEN

SUICIDE.

Shelbyville, Ind.-Dr. William D..
Craig, accused of numbering DR..
Helen E. Knabe, was portrayed as an
innocent mar who is being unfairly
prosecuted by the state, in the open
ing statement of the defense by
Henry Span, who denied there was
any greater intimacy than good friend
ship between DR.. Craig and DR..
knabe. He said he would introduce
a witness whom Dr.. knabe told he
was afraid DR.. knabe might commit
suicide because of her failure in the
profession.
The state will be able to produce
no eyewitness to this cri..ie," said
Prosecutor Inman. I'VE expect, how
ever, to bring before you & train of
circumstances all pointing cut only

direction of DIR. William b. Craig as

There will be nc. direct proof of

marry her.
circumstances will point unmis-
takably to Craig's affection for DR..
knabe at a time before her death.
We will show that he even peeped
into her windows in the night time.
We will show that DR.. Knabe was
hopeful and cheerful, that she was in.

ifestations of dependency, thus pre-
Guiding any suicide theory. On the
night Of the murder DR.. Craig was
seen near the premises within a little
while before the murder occurred.
"Dr. Craig has INDUCED in a sys-

another girl and afterwards compro-

The Red Cross work in selling the
seals originated in Denmark in 1904
and was first introduced into the
United States in 1907, in Delaware.
The little "stickers" met with suc1
phenomenal sale that the movement
has since spread to nearly every state
in the union.
The seals sell for one cen each
and all money realized from them is
used in the fight carried OF by the
Red Cross organization against tub
%erculosis. 1t Is hoped to sell at least
100, 900 seals in South Dakota this
year. Ten per cent of the amount rea-
lized from the sale of seals goes to
tho national organization and the
remainder stays in South Dakota.
The work is purely n of charity
and the assistance of all, particularly
in the Christmas season of good will
and happiness is solicited.
