ANTI-FAT FAILS
TO GIVE RESULTS
SOUTH DAKOTA WOMAN PROSE.
CUTTING WITNESS AGAINST
DENVER FIRM ACCUSED
OF FRAUD.

Clear Lake, S. D.-Mrs. Henry
Clement, a South Dakota woman
whome home is in Deuel. county, will
be an important witness for the
United States government against a
firm at Denver, Col. which is the
defendant in an action instituted on
the ground that the firm used the
mails to defraud. Some months ago
Mrs. Clement CHANGED to read an ad-
vertisement of the Denver firm stat
ing that it handled an anti-fat rem
edy which would restors persons to
graceful proportions. Mrs. Clement
sent the firm a check for $40, and
in reply received a letter from the
firm stating that If she would drink
lemon juice and take several baths
each week the firm would guarantee
to reduce her superfluous flesh. The
treatment proved a failure and Mrs.
Clement finally came to a realiza-
ton of the fact that she had been
defrauded out of the $40. Complaint
was made to the federal authorities
and the arrest of the members of the
firm followed. Mrs. Clement and her
husband have just gone to Denver
where she will offer her testimony at
the trial Of the defendants in the fed
eral court.

of second degree manslaughter and

the sentence be suspended but Judge
Carpenter gave him the full limit of
the law despite the recommendation.
The body of Joe Narcelle was found
near Dupree on September II, last,
and Condor was Immediately chars-
ed with the murder, for the two had
beer in a dispute over a horse trade
but a short time before. Condor is
said to have confessed the murder
but later to have repudiated the con-
fession.
He was brought to this city last
November to be tried before Judge
Elliott Of the federal court but the
case was remanded to the circuit
court on the grounds that the crime
had been committed on a part of the
Cheyenne reservation which had been
opened up to settlement prior to the
time of the murder. ConGon was

WOLF AND

BAND.

The following story from the Ip-
switch paper concerns the son and
daughter-in-la of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
H. Smith of this city:
1T is not often that you fool a
real 18th Century m Especially
is this true when the woman fooled
happens to be well-informed on most
every subject.
Mrs. M. G.. Smith OF this city,
having recently married her husband,
Clyde for better or for worse was
conducted from her home in Aber-
deem into a large roomy house in this
city. Naturally enough the hours dur
ing the day, when her husband was
attending to his duties in the bank,
dragged heavily and she pinned for
company, and urged her husband to
purchase her a Fox Terrier dog.
absorbed as he always is in the
conduct of the bank. he found little
time to make a search for a canine
of the breed and color to suit. So
some puppy stepped into his office he
1t was, when a man carrying a hand
importuned him to purchase. He be-
thought himself to please his wife
with this brand instead of the Ter
rior. He explained the circumstances
to her and she readily consented to
accept this handsome little fellow in
lieu of the favored kind. She tied a
blue ribbon about it's neck; brushed
the flaxon hair from its noble little
brow and Immediately christened it
Woody" in honor of the president.
Mr.. Smith, in the meantime, seemed
to be thoroughly enjoying the Meas
ure the present had brought and if
some cruel wretch had not taken it
upon himself or herself to advise
her she would still, doubtless be
|fondling-a wolf.
We are quietly informed that
Clyde has been given GA hours in
which to purchase a real dog and is
mighty busy in consequence. Any
body owning a Terrier with an I'M
blemished record which bears no pos
sible resemblance to a puppy wolf,

TO ERADICATE HOG
CHOLERA If POSSIBLE

Washington, ID. C.-Convinced in
the face of the increase of living that
something must be done to save the
hog as a food animal, experts of the
department of agriculture announced
today that they would begin a cam
paign July 1 to eradicate hog chol-
era. On that date the $4,000, 900
appropriation by the last congress
for the work will become available.
The losses in hogs which succumb-
ed to cholera last year were so mil
lion dollars, according to the depart
ment's figures. This is so obviously
an unnecessary waste in the experts
opinion that they propose to go into
the work with the end i'll view of
stamping out the disease altogether.
Previously the department conducted
experiments by which it developed
a serum that was a specific in cholera
epidemics, but 10 it proposes to
go to the root of the trouble and ell
inmate TIE
Because of the short supply and
high prices of meats" says the de-
partment in its statement today, cit
is becoming imperative that some
thing should be done to check the
ravages of the disease"
The first experiments will be made
in Dallas county, iowa, later in In
diana ana possibly in n or two 9TH
err states.

WITHOUT BAIL FOR KILL
ING OF DIR. MOORE.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-Charged with
shooting and killing DR.. %. l.. Moore
of Brookings, state veterinarian, on
the evening of May 26, in her room
in a boarding house on North Spring
avenue, Mrs. Mae Evans was yester-
day bound over without bail to the
circuit court by Judge Orr in NUM-
cipal court on the charge of murder.
The hearing which was held in the
municipal court continued for several
hours and was witnessed by 4 crowd
of spectators who were anxious to
see the principal in one of the most
shocking tragedies which has occur
ed in South Dakota for years.
Those who expected to heal her
tell her story of the tragedy were
disappointed as she merely sat beside
Mrs. Kelley who accompanied her to
the court room, and listened to the
testimony of the states witnesses.
She sat practically motionless ex-
cept when Mrs. E. C. Hulick, the
landlady of the boarding house ia
which the shooting occurred in reply
to questions by d. j. Conway attor-
ney for the defense stated that she
had never seen Mrs. Evans act i'm
properly.
The descriptions of the CHASTITY
scene which met the police upon en-
tering the room. failed to evoke any
show of emotion in the defendant.
AS the questions regarding her be-
haviour were asked, she wept softly,
drying away her tears with her left
hand. while her right, which is para
liked as a result of bullet wounds
which she sustained in the shooting,
lay m%otionless in her lap.
Mrs. Evans is a woman of medium
height, rather slender, with straw
colored hair. Her features are not
striking. She appeared to be about
90 years old, which is the age she
has given. essssaaaa

MAKE PLEA O
A SANE FOURTH
FIRE PREVENTION ASSOCIATION
WANTS ORDINANCES TO MAKE
INJURIES AND FIRE LESS
LIKELY.

Pierre, S. D.-The following bull
letin is issued by the chairman of
the publicity committee of the South
Dakota Fire Prevention committee:
THE national day OF dynamite and
blood, is approaching. Before July q
would it not be well for the people of
each city and town in South Dakota
to demand the enactment of definite
and effective measures on the part of
local authorities that will prevent
the slaughter of %innocents in the alb
used name of patriotism?
IF you must have a Fourth of
July celebration in your locality this
year insist upon the fireworks dis
play being made by competent per-
sons. in order that the loss of life
by tetanus and other causes, horrible
injuries and the destruction of prop
erty by fire may be prevented as
much as possible.
even under the most careful sup
ervision there will be a large num-
Der of fatalities and injuries while
thousands of dollars worth of valu.
able property will go up in smoke.
Read the record of 1912 and
judge for yourself whether some sub.
stitute for dynamite and BLOOD
should be offered the grown people
and the youth of America in the cele
bration of Independence Day ant
then demand of your local authori
ties the enactment of a thai
will enable you and the members o,
your families to celebrate the grea'
achievement of your nation il {
safe and sane manner.
Washington. d. C. has priority
in the safe and sane Fourth of July
having adopted it in November 1905
an ordinance prohibiting in the Dis
trict the use and sale of fireworks
1t is claimed by authorities toda,
that not q thousand votes could bt
secured IN favor of the old style cele
brations. AS a result there were Nc
accidents or fatalities while in 1907
a total of 104 persons were carried
from their homes to hospitals ant
from the streets to beds of pain.
The same authority states toda,
that should 104 people be carried
from the streets and their homes tt
hospitals on July 4 of this year III,
entire District would rise up the fol
lowing day and demand that TIL,
cause be abolished.
"Have a safe and sane Fourth il
your city. Why take the chance?"
