Yankton.-After IA years absence
from Yankton, Capt. +. III. Allison, al
legged old scout, old soldier, and second
Buffalo Bill, appeared here in the
interests OF Charlie Bowman, held
for the murder Of Nellie Brewer. AS
on a previous visit Capt. Allison, al
though 20 years OF age, got in bad
with the police, and hurriedly left
town without waiting for a train. On
a previous visit here Allison left town
afoot, after being hauled from his
bed in a hotel by a man and told to
get. The charges related to enticing
little girls to the river. This trip ALI
son was accused by a 7~-year-old girl,
but because OF the lack of adult
evidence he was again released. In
the meantime Allison's first record
was pulled on him, he admitted the
charge andf led for the Indian reser-
walton. He poses as an old scout,
and only his gray hairs have saved
him. He shows Endorsements from
brigadier general of the United States
army and others, but his Yankton
reputation is bad.

Mr.. Thompson declares estimates as
to the age Of the city vary from less
than 1000 years to more than IL, 800
years. An idea Of the intricacies OF
the language of the people Of the city
is given by the following quotation
from a document found there: "Lai u
tzolan katun lukci ii cab ii yotoch
Nonoual," which is translated to
mean, This is a series of epochs that
elapsed from the time Of their de.
parture from the house Of NonouaI
in the land of Tulapan."
The writer tells a legend concerning
Canek. the impetuous ruler of Chichen
liza, who loved the daughter Of the
ruler of a distant province. One day
a runner brought him the news that
the Batab Of a neighboring and far
more powerful province had married
the maiden. Canek and his warriors
went to his enemy's city under cover
Of darkness, while all was revelry
there in celebration Of the wedding.
After venting their fury on the drunk
en- celebrants they stole the bride OF
an hour and disappeared. Never
again did Chichen liza know its Lord
Canek o any of his band of fighters
Years afterward, a hunting band from
Chichen liza made a long journey to
the south. They finally reached q
lake, and In its center an island city.
The city was Tayasal and it's ruler
the now aged Lord Canek.
He also tells of the arrival, recep-
ton and subsequent flight by night
of Montejo, one Of the early Spanish
~conquerors, in 1926. The Spaniards.

visions. tied n dog to a rope of q bell
and placed food just beyond his reach,
His efforts to get the food kept the
bell ringing and deceived the natives
into believing their captives we're still
there. When the ruse was discovered.
the little band of Spanish soldiery was
nearly out of the enemy's reach.

Odd Trap Cauqht Wolf.

has received a photograph from Harm
Walthus, a Lincoln county farmer,
which shows a large wolf trapped in
a peculiar manner on the farm of Mr..
Walthus. The animal evidently at
tempted to jump over a woven wire
fence which had two strands of barb
wire strung along the top. In the
jump one of his hind legs slipped be-
tween the two strands of barb wire,
and twisting the lower one over the
upper one the animal could not re-
lease itself and hung in this position
until it died. Walthus wants to know
about the bounty, hut says the wolf
was in no condition to skin when
found.

m~unication to the National Geographic
society at Washington, ID. c., describ-
ing Chichen liza, the home OF a for-

Mr.. Thompson describes what was
probably the first tennis or basket
ball court on this hemisphere and pos
sibly in the world. "The ruined group
Of Chichen liza covers a space of fully
three square miles," he says. "Over
all this wide territory are scattered

Sioux Falls With a snort that
could be heard for blocks and a leap
that almost took from its wheels an
auto owned by j. j. Kapp, 2091a West
Ninth street, started On a runaway
from in front of Shipley's laundry
and Immediately made a dive for a
defenseless Ford standing several
rods ahead of it.
Before it could be subdued it had
run to Main avenu and had given
the Ford such a scare that after it was
stopped by its owner, the Ford kept
on going until it was stopped by pso-
pie in the street and taken to the
curb in front of the Elks' building.
The Ford received a few scratches
and a broken tail light in the affair.
A break in the lever used in shift
ing gears caused the accident, as the
auto started at high speed as soon as
it was cranked and before the driver
could get into lis seat. He leaped on
the dash board, got into a rea seat
and climbed to his place, finally stop
ping his engine.

MAIL CARRIER is MISSING.
Elmer n. Bowers Disappears from
Home of Wife's Mother.

Ethan.-Elmer II. Bowers, a rural
carrier from Armour, who has been
in this vicinity since July l, disap-
peared from the home of his wife's
mother, Mrs. Julia bloom, eight miles
east of here, on tho banks of the Jim
river. Part of his clothes were found
at the riverside. 1t was thought that
he had drowned accidentally while
bathing, but a thorough dragging OF
the river failed To locate the body.
BloodhoundS were procured and
brought to the scene and followed
the scent to tho Rockport bridge,
bridge, about two miles from where
the clothes were found. The river
was dragged in that vicinity also, but
without success. 1t is thought that
he had a sum of money and a reovlver
in his possession when he left the
house. A theory advanced is hat he
wandered away while temporarily un-
balanced, on account of the fact that
he had been complaining of pains in
his head.
