MEDICINE NO GOOD, SO
WOMAN SMASHES WINDOWS

Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 14-Mrs. En-
ma Linnankel, of Maniey. Mimi, has
been brought to Sioux Falls and lodged
in Jail on the charge of malicious mis-
chief growing out of her emulation OF
Mrs. Carrie Nation in a feat of window
smashing. 1t is charged that she
crossed the South Dakota boundary
line near her home, and, proceeding to
Valley Springs, near Sioux Falls.
smashed costly windows in the drug
store of George A. Pottinger and in
the office of DR.. G. w. Bliss. a Valley
Springs physician, by hurting bottles
through them.
The only reason the woman would
give for the attack and destruction of
property was that the medicine which
the physician had prescribed and which
the druggist had mixed had not cured
her of his practice of abusing
her and utilizing her for a football and
~punching-ba bag.
The woman, who is 80 years of z
will be held in Sioux Falls pending
an investigation as to her sanity. Some
weeks G Mrs. Linnankel became in
VOWED in trouble with the federal gov
eminent, when she smashed TO hits a
rurai ma box near her home. Her
case was taken before a United States
grand jury at Mankato, Mimi. but the
jury failed to return an Indictment
against her.

MISSING STOCK HAD BEEN
BURIED IN STRAW STACK

Big Stone. S. D., Oct. ia sup
posed raid on the horse herd of Charles
Block. jr., a farmer and stock raiser
living near here. and the mysterious
disappearance of five valuable colts
from his pasture, turns out to be a case
OF the colts being buried alive and re-
curing five days in which to eat their
way to liberty.
In the pasture was a huge straw
stack. and it develops that while the
colts were feeding at the stack there
was an avalanche of straw and they
were buried alive. Block missed the
colts and notified the authorities of
northeastern South Dakota and ada
cent territory in Minnesota. Two
strangers, who had been in the vicinity
of his farm, We're suspected of having
stolen the animals, and they were fol-
lowed to Minnesota and We're about 10
be arrested when the five colts, after
five days spent in eating the straw
which lay between them and liberty,
suddenly reappared in the Block pas
ture.
They were in good condition when
they emerged from the straw stack
and apparently were none the worse for
their five days imprisonment.

FEELING RUNS HIGH
AGAINST ACCUSED NEGRO

Meadow. S.. d., Oct. t3.-Damaging
admissions are said to have been made
by Joseph Hickman, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Ellen Fox and her Is
year-old daughter, Mildred, whose
charrea remain were found in the
ruins of their home near Bixby.
Feeling in this section is running high
and the authorities are taking extra
precautions to prevent a possible
lynching.
Hickman had persisted in trying to
pay attentions to the girl, and had
been repeatedly rebuffed. Mrs. Fox
became 50 angered that she ordered
him to stay away from the house. 1t
is claimed that he had made threats
against them.
Both bodies had been mutilated be-
no doubt of n murder having been
committed.
In addition to bullet holes in the
woman's head, she had been slashed
with a knife until the flesh was prac-
tically cut from her breast and back.
There were numerous t oundS on
other parts of her body, and her skull
had beer crushed, apparently by a
hammer.
The girls skull had been crushed
and h was stabbed several times.
The mother and daughter came to
this part of the country and worked
hard to prove up on q homestead. The
mother frequently worked for other
settlers to obtain none for their sup
port and both worked in the fields dur
ing the summer.

Engine Chained to Rails, Mem
bers of Crew Arrested, and
General Melee Occurs at
KimbaIl. S. D.
COMPANY FINALLY PAID

Kimball. s.. D., Oct. 14.--Efforts to
attach and hold a special Milwaukee
stock train here Saturday rendered an
unusual amount of excitement, which
drew out most of h inhabitants of
the city. The scenario included the
claiming of the engine to the rails. It's
release by the engineer, the arrest of
the fireman and engineer, a threatened
outbreak by the delayed stockmen and
many other exciting features.
When the train pulled in at about
1870 o'clock in the afternoon the coun-
ty constable, A. Freeland, after serving
notice of levy on the station agent,
chained the engine to the rails. A
short time later the engineer, presum-
ably on orders from headquarters,
broke the lock and released the en-
CINE. Then the engineer vas arrested
for o~bstructing the majesty of the law.
When the officer returned to the
railroad track. after carting the en-
gineer into court, he found that the
fireman had ignored the order to
keep hands off" and had been using
the engine to shunt cars onto the main
track. The fireman kept the engine
under Roadway after n clarion com
maud TO halt" so he was arrested and

BY this time Constable Freeland had
become very much excited in his deter
mination to uphold the majesty of the
law and swore in Il number of special
deputies to assist him
When the fireman saw that he W.

pulled his string of cars directly onto
a crossing which blocked one of the
city's main streets and there left the
cars standing. This aroused the may

stable Freeland and Attorney Emil j.
Woerth, at whose instance the execu-
iton was issued.
In the absence Of a valid infor-
constable and attorney refused to be
arrested, and this added to the tumult
and confusion.
At this point n threatening attitude
was taken by some of the stockmen
who were being delayed in loading
their cattle, Charles Saunders rode up
to the engine on his COW pony, dis
mounted and tackled the Job of navi-
eating the engine, although he had
never before been inside a cab. He
moved the string of cars 900 yards. but
could proceed no further.

was a saddle and a set of harness that
took the thief's fancy. Along the route
he picked up a spring wagon, shotgun

GERMAN AMERICAN
ALLIANCE IS FACING
INTERNAL TROUBLE
Brown County Branch With
draws and Scores State Of
ficials in Resolution.

Aberdeen. S. D.. Oct. fractional
difficulties have developed within the
ranks of the n-American al
lance, following close upon the heels
OF he meeting of the State alliance
here in September, Inc it is not inn
probable that the dispute may extend
to other sections of the state. AT a
meeting of the German-American al
lance of Aberdeen and Brown county,
at which 1t Is claimed but few members
We're present, the following resolution
was adopted:
On account of the unparliamentary and
partisan action On the part of the presi-
dent of the State Alliance against several
membe of our organization at the state
convention recently held in Aberdeen. the
German-Arnerican Alliance of Aberdeen
and Brown county feels the necessity of
seVering its connection with the state or
g~antzation.
The resolution was presented by DR..
G. A. Holman, of Aberdeen. n was
adopted by a close vote. The adoption
of the resolution, it is said, makes the
Aberdeen and Brown County alliance
an independent organization, separate
from the State alliance. and was the
outcome of a little f~actional strife at
the state convention in which the Hoo
man faction was defeated on the rul-
ing by President Hans DeSIuth of
Sioux Falls.
Many Aberdeen German-Americans
contend that President DeMuth's rul-
ing in the matter was eulinentiy fair,
and it is said an effort viii be made to
bring the matter up for further dis
cussion at the next meeting of the
Aberdeen and Brown County alliance
when a full attendance is present. with
a view to resembling the withdrawal
resolution.
Local members Of the Alliance are
reticent regarding the cause OF tbs
disagreement between President De
Muth and DR.. Honaan.

RECALLED In
WHICH JURY DEFIED
MANDATE OF COURT
Newspaper Comment Causes
Arrest of Huronite Owners
for Contempt of Court.

Pierre, S. d, Oct. 13-The refusal of
the Meade county jury to obey the in
struction of Judge Rice and bring in q
verdict of acqujttal for III. 0. Ander-
son. indicted for irregularities as q
director of tho defunct Meade County
bank. recalls another famous incident
of the same sort in Dakota history. In
1886 one Hardness was indicted for a
forgery in CodinSton county, and the
ease was tried before Judge James
Spencer, an a~rpointee of President
Cleveland
Spencer instructed a verdict for he
defendant, but the jury retired and
remained out for many hours. Spencer
had the jury brought in and the fore
man reported that the jury could not
conscientiously comply With the in
structionS OF the court. Wllereupon,
the jury was dismissed.
Frank Cane Immediately sent q re-
port of this action TO h Huronite,
then edited by Junios w. Shannon.
shannon published the story under a
scare head, which read: God Bless the
Jury. a WATERFOWL Jury Defies the
Carpet Bagger."
Spencer procured the arrest of Gus
Davis. John Longstaff and Herbert
Crouch, owners of the Huronite, and
shannon the editor. for contempt OF
court. They were convicted but SEN
tenee was not passed upon them.
This action came at a time when the
division of Dakota territory was an
issue of first Importance. The Huron
ite was the chief advocate of division
and the feeling aroused over Spencer's
action went far to solidify the division
sentiment. So far as Pierre lawyers
recall, the Anderson case and the
Huronite Nsse are the only instances
where juries have refused to follow
h advice of the court in this state.
