Immediately called it the original
Roosevelt grin. Under this name its
fame rapidly spread, until it became
the chief point of tourist interest IN
the ancient city.
But for the enterprise of a well
known corporation interested in
fruit cultivation, the ruins might
have remained for centuries more.
The company purchased a large tract
of land in the vicinity for banana
plantation. and through an arrange
ment with the school Of American
archaeology, the systematic study Of
the ruins was undertaken. During
the centuries that had elapsed since
its abandonment a dense tropical
vegetation had overgrown the city,
oyerthrowing its temples and pala-
ces and reducing them to shapeless
mounds of fallen masonry, writes
Mr. Morley.

Easy Payment Plans.
The fact that SO many dwellings are
built nowadays to sell on the partial
payment plan has made 1t more diffi-
cult than ever before for property own
ers to sell for cash. The comment IN
often made that this system does the
town more harm than good. The arch
itects are anything but enthusiastic
over the fact that several companies
make business Of putting up dwell
ings on this plan. 1t undoubtedly takes
away a good deal OF business that they
would otherwise get as these firms do
their own planning. However that may
be 1t enables scores Of people to enjoy
new homes who would otherwise be

HARDESTY TO
GET LIFE TERM
JURY CONNECTS KEYSTONE MAN
OF MURDER OF HIS PROS
PECTIVE SON-IN-LAW.

Rapid City. S. D.-After deliberat-
ing five hours a jury in the circuit
court here returned a verdict of
guilty and recommended that George
Hardesty, of Keystone, be given life
imprisonment for the murder last
June of Homer Shank. Shank was
the lover of Hardesty's stepdaughter
and was to have married her the
next day. He was shot from ambush
on his way home late at night from
Hardesty's place.
Family relations of the H~ardesty's
were wildly portrayed by the de-
PENDANT, his wife and two sons on
the witness stand. Mrs. Hardesty de-
MED that Olive Wilhelm, who was en-
gagged to Shank, was not her daugh-
ted. She alleged that the girl was
born out of wedlock before her mar
riage to Hardesty. Harley and Bert
Hardesty. aged Is and II years, re-
effectively denied that Olive Wilhelm
had been mistreated by their father.
Eardesty himself denied the testi-
meny IF, witnesses for the state, and
swore that he was at home the night
OF the murder. and traced his move
nevis both before and afterward,
Fe told how and why he came to dis.
charge Shank from his employ, ard
declared he understood Shank was

THANKSGIVING DAY TAKES ON
REAL MEANING FOR NAN
CHARGED WITH THEFT.

Thanksgiving day was literal fol-
John H. Higgins, charged in circuit
court with the crime Of grand lar
ceny, as the jury early in the morn
ing brought in a verdict of acquittal.
The case was finished before Judge
Frank B. Smith late Wednesday af-
ternoon.
The prisoner was the chief wit
ness in his own behalf. On the
stand he denied having stolen the
goods alleged to have been taken
from the F. P. Worthing store early
In July, and declared that he had
never seen them until they were pro-
duced in court. One witness for the
defendant testified that on July %
he had seen Forrest Worthing bring
several packages of goods to Hig-
gins room. The prisoner was ar
rested on July 13 and new merchan-
disc found in his trunk was in the
possession of the police that day.
Charles Heuermann, charged with
shooting John Michels with intent to
kill, will be brought to trial in court
tomorrow morning. 1t is anticipated
that 1t will take most of the day to
select a jury in the case, because of
the interest which it has aroused.
