Cleaned up $l,907

John Akre of this city made a
bunch of money last week on the
European war scare. The hot
dry weather of the week before
caused him to invest $50 in wheat
options in the Minneapolis board
of trade. When the war news
came and wheat took such Jump
upward, Mr.. Akre went to
Minneapolis and on Thursday
disposed of wheat" at an ad-
vance of S1,9O7. Mr.. Akre is
not in the habit of this kind of
speculation, it having been ten
years since he made such a vent
ure before. Feeling that he was
lucky where so many others go
broke, Mr.. Akre says that as
long a time may again intervene
before he attempts another deal
of the kind.

How Lennon Does Ii

A Lennon special says that
the managers of the Lennon
municipal saloon elected J.L. Tice
manager and Harry Riis secre-
tary. The secretary is to count
the cash each evening and deposit
it in local bank. 1t is under
stood that no treating is to be
allowed and drinks are to be
paid for by checks, cashier be-
ing on duty to sell checks.
Three breweries are to furnish
the beer and one wholesale house
the wiskey.
1t is thought by many that the
plan is plain evasion of the law
as the party who has taken out
the license, H. O. Duncan, has
given a power of attorney to a
corporation to operate the place,
Mr.. Duncan having nothing to do
with the management and should
this be permitted by the courts
it would open the way for bad
men to creep into the business
under the shadow of a good name.

1t is generally thought that
Germany drinks more beer than
any other nation in the world.
This is a mistake. Germany
comes second. The United
States consumes 1851, 100000
gallons of beer each year, which
is a hundred million gallons more
than Germany's consumption.
Russia leads the world in it's use
of distilled liquors, and the Unit
ed States comes second, with it's
consumption of 133,OOO,OOO gal
Ions. Although the United States
is first as a beer drinking nation,
and second as a consumer of dis
titled spirits among the nations
of the world, the liquor dealers
of America are having des.
perate flight for the life of their
traffic.
The saloon has been expelled
from one.half of the population,
and from two-thirds of the
geographical area of the country.

A Most Enjoyable Trip

Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Peterson
returned last week from their
swing around the circle. They
were away eight days and had
most delightful trip in every
way. They went by the way Of
Watertown to Ruskin Park where
they spent the first night. Co.
ing on they struck the Scenic
Highway, which they declare
to be as fine piece of road as
one can wish to see, running per-
haps 60 miles. They ferried
the Missouri at Cham berlain and
shortly thereafter they hit a
road about as bad as the other
had been good and travelled
about Is miles to Trip county
where Mrs. Peterson has rela,
tives and where a very pleasant
family reunion was held, other
members Of the family being
presant from several states.
One day was spent in fishing
on Lake Andes, and in proof of
his luck Mr.. Peterson brought
home 26 fine black bass. They
then headed their car for home,
coming via Mitchell, Madison
and Watertown.

Little Indian Girl
Horribly Maltreated
Assailants in Jail Awaiting Trial
in the Federal Court.

One Of the most diabolical
crimes ever committed in Rob-
erts county was perpetrated a
few days ago, in which Nellie
kampeska, a 13 year old Indian
girl at the Government school,
was the victim. Three young
Indians lused her away and held
her prisoner all night in the
gulches a quarter of mile from
the school, and the tretment ac-
corded the poor child almost
passes belief. Fiends from
hell could scarcely have been
more cruel. Her cries for help
could be heard in the darkness
by w. b. Stevenson and other
searchers who had been notified
of the little girls abduction,
by the two women in whose
charge she was left by Supt.
Mossman when he departed a
few days before to attend a
Government school affair at Flan-
dreau. The search was kept up
far into the night but proved
fruitlesS on account of the dark
ness.
1t was five days before Nellie
was found. She had made her
escape from her captors the next
morning, the appearance of some
men frightening them away
For several days she wandere d
in the woods, finally going to the
home of her grandmother on the
reservation. Here she was found
by Supt. Mossman who had in
the meantime arrived home.
Nellie gave the names of her
ravishers as Guy Brant, Eddie
Crawford and Albert One Road.
The matter was put into the
hands of w. E. Fiske, assistant
U. S. district attorney, of Sioux
Falls, who brought the case be.
fore Commissioner Croal in this
city Monday afternoon, the young
men being in the custody of
Deputy Marshal Fairbman. All
three were bound over to the
next term of federal court, bail
being fixed at $1,000 each, in de-
fault of which Crawford and
One Rord were put in Jail here
and Brant was taken to Aber-
deem. Brant and One Road are
around 20years of age and Craw-
ford is 30.

City Of Sisseton Sued
Old ''Waterworks" Bonds Leads
to Present Litigation.

Joseph H. Hayden of Omaha,
Through his attorney, Howard
Babcock, has served notice on
the city of Sisseton that an ac-
tion has been commenced in the
Circuit Court of Roberts county
for the recovery of the amount
due on two bonds which were
issued by the town of Sisseton as
"Waterworks" bonds, back in
1898.
Some of the facts in connection
with this matter may be of in
terest to some of the readers of
the Standard at this time.
About the time mentioned above
an effort was being made to Sc
cure a Catholic school in this Vi
cinity, and a bonus of $1,000
was found to be necessary in the
attainment of this end. Legal
objections stood in the way of
appropriating public money ,sfor
such purpose, but it was found
that the town could issue bonds
for waterworks purposes. This
was done. But instead of using
them for this purpose they were
turned over to Bishop Martin
Marty with the understanding,
some say. that an investment of
S6O,OOO would be made here for
school purposes. AS result
the stone building in the south
western part Of town, known as
the Convent" Was built. The
first bond was paid and some in
terest on the other two.
On March 3, 1896, Bishop
Marty sold the remaining bonds
to Sister Aloysia Deering. She
held them until Sept. 25, 1907,
when they were disposed of
to their present holder,
JOSEPH il. Hayden, a wholesale
grocer of Omaha.
On various occasions during
the past five or six years these
bonds have been presented for
payment, but each council to
whom the matter has been re-
fered, has lodged the issue, not
knowing for certainty that the
bonds we're legal claim against
the city, because of number of
points which cannot be decided
off hand but will require court
| of competent authority to decide.
Lastyear the matter came before
the council in the shape of an Of
fer to settle for the face value of
the bonds, $1,000. This was re-
jected. Lately a similar offer
was received only the amount
asked was $1,25O. This being
rejected, the present suit follow
ed. While the different councils
may have appeared stubborn in
their refusal to pay this claim,
the matter will now be safely
disposed of. There is a chance
for a fine legal battle in the court
and the trial will surely be full
of interest from start to finish.
Judge Turner has been retained
to look after the city's interests
in the matter, and is given power
to call in legal assistance if
deemed advisable.

TWO OTHER ARRESTS.

Sheriff Minder was at Enemy
Swim last Sunday and arrested
John Goodhouse on charge of
adultery. He waived examina-
tion Tuesday before .JusticePrin-
diville and was bound over to the
next term of Circuit court. So
far he has been unable to fur.
nish bail and is in jail.
The sheriff also arrested Robt.
Grant of Marshall county on a
charge of having two wives. His
hearing is set for next Tuesday
before Justice Prindiville. Grant
is under $500 bonds for his ap-
pearance at that time.
AS in the case of the three
Indians arrested for the more
serious crime, Supt. Mossman
was also instrumental in the last
two Indians named being ar
rested, in his determination at
law enforcement on the reserva-
tion.
