SURROUNDS DEATH
OF SHANK AT KEYSTONE

The death of Homer Shank at Key
stone early Friday morning has resolved
itself into a mystery and circumstances
indicate that it may never be known
whether the young man committed sui.
eide or was victim of foul play. Coun-
ty officials who spent the day Saturday
investigating the death Of the young man
returned to Rapid City early Sunday.
without having made an arrest and ad-
nit that they are unable to form a chain
of evidence which would warrant the
apprehending of ar individual or indi-
viduals.
Public opinion at Keystone is divided
as to the means by which Mr.. Shank
came to his death. The proportion is
divided in ratio of about 8 to l, the
largest number stating belief that the
boy was murdered, while the smaller
proportion are convinced that he COM
mitted suicide. On either theory the
motive is lacking. Shank died on the
morning of his wedding day, the license
having been procured at Custer, which
would have authorized his union with
Miss Olive Wilhelm.
Friday morning, Mrs. H. S. Davis,
who carries the mail from Keystone to
Hill City, found the body half mile up
the Keystone road lying near the creek.
Investigation showed that Shank had
been shot through the heart, the bullet
entering the body from the front and
passing out at the back. Lying in the
creek nearby was found 80 caliber,
five shot revolver of the Iver.Johnson
make with two chambers empty This
weapon, it is said, was not the property
of the deceased nor can anyone be found
about Keystone, who has owned a
similar gun. Doubt is expressed by
men familiar with firearms as to whether
bullet from weapon such as this
would have passed completely through
Schank's body. The night he was killed
was dark and foggy so that, if he were
shot by some other person other than
himself that person must have stood
close to his victim when the fatal shot
was fired, or may have made good
chance shot under the circumstances.
Shank left Miss Wilhelm's about ten
o'clock Thursday evening and stated
that he was going to Walter Canfelds to
be shaved in anticipation of his we'd
ding. His sweetheart is the last person
who is known to have seen him alive
His body lay about $50 yards from the
Garfield ouse.-Rapid City Journal.

CORN AND GRAIN GROWERS
COMMITTEE held MEET

The annual meeting of the executive
committee of the corn and grain grow
ers association was held at the state
college few days ago.
One or two changes were made in the
premium list to be held next January in
Mitchell. The most important change
was the offering of an additional prem
ium in each of the districts, for the boys
class. Any boy having ten ear sam.
pie of corn selected from the product of
a previous acre-feld contest, held under
the auspices of any bank or similar
commercial organization or other re-
liable authority, may enter such sample
for competition. The prize for each
section of the state in this boys class,
will be $40. The ten-ear samples taken
from these acre-vield contests will be
judged under the rules of the corn and
grain growers association.

tryman to homesteader entrywoman
after each shall have fulfilled the requir-
ments of the homestead law for one year

impair the right of either to patent but
the husband shall elect under rules and
regulations prescribed by the secretary
of the interior. on which of the two en-
tries the home shall thereafter be made
and residence thereon by the husband
and wife shall constitute compliance

CHANGE In BALLOT,

Those who have been in the habit of
voting the straight ticket by placing a
cross in circle at the head of their
party ticket will be Disappointed in the
state this fall when they go to vote and
to their dismay they will find the circle
at the head of the ticket missing. The
last legislature amended the state elec-
ton law by taking the circle from the
head of the ticket. To vote straight
ticket at the next election it will be
necessary for the voters to make cross
in front of each name on the ticket.
Many voters are not aware of this and
it may be interesting infor nation for
them.
