SUICIDE AFTER
HUSBAND LEAVES
sIorX FAILS YOUNG WOMAN
KILLS HERSELF BECAUSE,
LOVE WAS NOT RECJpNu-
ATED.

HH tfHW.| aa4r"
Sioux Falls, S. Developments
show that a semi-insane love for
her husband, which was not recipro-
Gated because the couple were mis-
mated, was responsible for the re-
cent suicide in this city OF Mrs. Ray
Goddard, ticket taker at a local
theater, who ended her life by drink
ing a quantity of carbolic acid.
h young woman, who was only
about l8 years of age, was q Bo-
hemian and was just learning to
talk the English language, this lack
of English education having clear
ly been shown by the crude notes
which she wrote before ending her
life. +
While employed at a hotel in Yer
million she was known as Emma
Base, her parents living near Wag-
ner, Charles Mix county. Although
She lacked an English education she
was an attractive young woman, pos
s~essing a happy disposition and an
attractive personality. 1t was only
g few weeks after she took up her
residence at Vermillion that she be-
came acquainted with Ray Goddard.
The two were see together quite
frequently afterward. The young
woman gave evidence hat even at
that time she was deeply in love
with Goddard, and Goddard appar-
emily drought much OF her.
Miss Base finally departed from
Vermillion, and at about the same
time Goddard also left the city. Then
a few days later, came the story
that they had been married. At the
time it was rumored that a brother
of the young man vas responsible
fer the marriage, the rumor being
to the effect that he followed them
and found them living under condi-
tons which made him determined
that a marriage ceremony should be
performed. 1t was said that under
threats of arrest on the charge of
violating the Mann act. otherwise
known as The white slavery law.
Goddard concluded to consent 70 the
marriage.
After the marriage his love for
the girl is said to have decreased
while her love for him is stated 10
have increased in a corresponding.
ratio. From letters left by the girl
wife Goddard evidently determined
to desert her, and acquainted her
with his purpose, and short time
later she ended her life. Not the
slightest trace of Goddard has been
found since his mysterious disap-
pearance in the forenoon of the day
his bride committed suicide.

CHOLERA MEAT
UNFIT O FOOD
DIR. LIPP SAYS 1T SHOULD NOT
BE EATEN THOUGH MAN CAN
NOT TAKE THIS d.
SEASE.

Brookings, S. D.-Hog cholera
cannot be transmitted to man" says
DR.. c. C. Lipp, veterinarian at the
state college, but this does not mean
that there is no danger from consum-
ing hog cholera meat" In response
to inquiries concerning this subject,
DR.. Lipp. has the following to say:
The question is often asked
whether meat from a hog recovering
from cholera is. fit for food. Hog
cholera cannot be transmitted to
man, so that wen il meat from a hog
suffering from cholera we're used
would be no danger of MAJ
contracting the disease. Cholera
hogs are condemned on the principle
that the meat is from a sick animal
and therefore. unfit Tor human food.
This does not mean that there is no
danger from consuming such meat.
The fever and other disease process
es at work during cholera give rise
to various harmful products which
If eaten by man may cause serious
illness.
when a hog has had cholera and
made apparently complete recovery
its meat is perfectly wholesome.
Whether the recovery is complete or
not can usually be judged by the gen
eral condition of the hog, his thrift,
appetite, and appearance. Meat from
hogs recently v%accinated should not
be eaten for several weeks or until
the danger OF the possibility of a re-
action has disappeared.
The veterinary department. at
state college is frequently in receipt
of species of meat for examination,
from butchered hogs suspected of
showing evidence of cholera. In most
cases no diagnosis a be made for
the reason that the meat does not
show evidence of cholera. In order to
make a positive diagnosis of cholera
it is necessary to examine the inter
nal organs at the time the hog is but
chered. There is really little to be
feared if hogs that eat we'll and APP
pear we'll arc %butchered two months.
after all trace of cholera has disap-
peared. If %butchered sooner, there is
the possibility of the meat being unfit
for food. When hogs are vaccinated
they should not be butchered until
n month after the vaccination, so
that should there be a slight react
ion, it has had ample time TO disap-
pear.

HEARS
SUTLEY CASE
YANKTON JURET LISTENS TO
FINAL UMfsNT In EVE
MING SESSION.

Final arguments in ;he lack T.
Sutley divorce, in the action insti-
tuted several months ago by Olive III.
Sutley, were heard by Judge R. B..
Trip last evening. The judge has
taken under consideration the evil
dence and arguments in the case,
which is n of the hardest fought in
the state in recent years.
Eight days was consumed in the
circuit court at Oacoma in hearing
the evidence on both sides. In be-
half of Mr.. Sutley, the evidence
tended to show that Mrs. Sutley, who
is still less than 80 years of age, has
already been divorced twice. Letters
were read in court, written by Sukley
while the couple was living together,
to the effect that his wife was
money mad" and that she had mar
ried him for his money.
The suit was started by Mrs. Suit
ley on the grounds of cruelty. 1t was
alleged that her husband locked her
in, the cellar on his ranch in Stanley
county, and that he had struck and
abused her on divers occasions.
Charges of immortality also were
made against Mr.. Sut1ey, who has
been prominent for many years in
South Dakota as a democratic poll
ticfan and member of the legislature.
One of the phases of the case, as
brought forth in the argument OF
counsel for Mrs. Sutley, is that Mr..
Sutley transferred property worth
about $4,000 to his daughter, Miss
Ina Sutley, in order to defraud the
wife from alimony. Miss Sutley is
the child of a former wife and has
been superintendent of schools for
Lyman county.
In the Warhe divorce action, in
which DR.. r. C. Warne was declared
to be guilty of contempt for non-pay-
ment of the alimony stipulated when
his wife, Mrs. Ada l.. Warne, ecu
ed a divorce last spring, Judge Trip
ruled that his counsel must present
a motion for a new trial or perfect an
appeal to the supreme court within
thirty days. Pending the appeal. the
court reduced the alimony to s25 q
month, on the showing made that
the doctor had been financially en-
barassed as the result of the divorce
proceedings.
Counsel in the case were instruct
ed to arrange for periods in which
DR.. Warne NAV see his three children.

used in gaining an insight into a.gri-

opportunities for Development has
been eagerly sought by him. Hence
the opinion Of such man has a

observer. Mr.. Redhead says that
since his last trip through the parish
about year ago there has been
great progress made both in the
growing Of crops and the grade OF
stock. This is encouraging.
Mr.. Redhead suggests that the
range might be improved il the farm
ers in the different sections, during
their rides through the country would
carry a few pounds Of burt clover
and sprinkle it through the grass.
He also advises the planting of Grim
son clover on the farm, as good
crop of this turned under is equiva-
lent to the use of 1900 pounds OF
cotton seed meal to the acre. II the
clover does not grow well it should
be inoculated. Write to the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Baton Rouge
