mitted suicide by shooting himself in a
field near the barn where the woman's
body was found. A note left for his
mother asked her forgiveness and asked
her to care for his four children. The
cause of the double tragedy is not
known. That the killing of the woman
was done Saturday night is the belief
of the physicians who examined the
body. she having been shot many hours
before Gordon turned the revolver on
himself. Gordon's body was discovered

an unqualified success. It was 100
years ago. when the War of 1912 was

WAS sent to have charge of the United
States interests on Lake Champlain.
Finding no fleet he went up the Otter
Creek river to point where Yer.

forest. In 40 days he had his fleet
built and sailed down the river into the
lake. He proceeded down the lake anC

of great Importance and McDonough's

UNITED STATES LEADS
IN CEMENT PRODUCTION
American Output -Four Times as
Much as That cf England.

An increasing share of tho rapidly grow
ing consumption Of cement I'm the United
states is being supplied by the domestic
industry, production having risen from
SOOoOOO barrels in 1890 to 03,0oO,oOO In 1919
while imports of cement have fallen from
2,250,00O barrels in 1890 and gJ,S27 barrels In
the fiscal year 1911. with one exception
the lowest total reported in many years.
The United States, according TO the
latest information received 10y tho Bureau
OF Foreign and Domestic Commerce, leads
the world IN the production of cement. its
output being approximately four times as
much that of England and nearly thrco
times that OF Germany
The greatly enlarged consumption Of
cement in the United Statcg is due to the
wider recognition of the strength and sta
bility of that article and its consequent
use in the construction ur buildings
bridges, canals and other purposes for
which stone and lumber were formerly
the chief materials; and this is doubtless
true Of other parts of the civilized world.

$S3S.50 damages from the road
which offered to settle for $500. AT.
sixty days, Polt brought suit, and
a jury awarded him a verdict of $3.50
and costs, which the court, under the
double damage statute, provided that
when a railroad company doesn't set
tie a damage case within sixty days
the plaintiff shall be granted double
the amount awarded, increased the
sum to a total of $l,560. The case
was appealed to the state supreme

Then the road appealed to the federal

RICHARDS WILL
BE IN FIELD
HURON MAN is ALREADY PRE-.
PAIRING HIS PETITION TO run
FOR NOMINA ALTON FOR
GOVERNOR.

Huron, S. DR.. o. Richards, o
huron, has decided to run an an in
dependent candidate for governor
and is making arrangements for his
campaign.
Richards has made no formal an
nouncement of his candidacy. as he
must secure petitions and file the
same before actively beginning his
campaign.
Richards says he refused to be A
minority republican candidate be-
cause he was not in sympathy with
the platform adopted at Pierre, and
that he will run on his own plat
form.
Richards was born in Sandifjord,
Norway, fo%rty-seven years ago. AT
the age of Is years he came to this
country and at 16 he was attired in
the army blue and waited on the
docks at Castle Garden to act as in
terpreter for tile agents of Uncle
sam Whenever the square shoulder
ed blue eyed sons of Norway heaved
themselves over the side of the in
coming boats and Slipped up on Am
erlcan soil to undergo official interro-
cation. He was not long an interprc-
tor for Uncle Sam. He had the fever
that was calling his countrymen west
ana he ventured as far at Iowa. He
worked in a loan office at Emmets-
burg, Ia, for a while, and then went
INTO the Dakotas to build up a large
personal fortune through buying and
selling land. To buy land, however,
ne mad to have money, and that non
ey came by hard toll. He learned to
lamp the tie ahead of the jack and
give it shovel packing as a section
hand for the Northwestern and Mil
waukee. He then shoveled sand with
the best of them, and perhaps this
most marked feat was performed
when, out of money, he was forced to
walk from Pierre to Mitchell in
search of work.
In 1884 Richards formed the loan
and trust company of Huron OF
which he is now the head. He was
married twenty-three years ago, and
has a family of six children: Blanche.
Josephine, The!ma, Marene, Durell
and Richard, jr.
