STATE RECORDS SHOW
M CALLUM FORMERLY
SERVED PRISON Term
Nan, Under Arrest at Grinnell,
Ia, Had Tendency to Get
Into Difficulties.

Sioux Falls. S. D., April 6.-The nlys-
terry surrounding the identity of a
former South Dakotan giving his name
as McCallum. who has been lodged in
Jail at Grinnell, Ia, on the charge Of
obtaining money under false pretenses,
has been solved by the discovery that
he is the McCalium hi was a convict
n was sentenced to a term in the
Sioux Falls penitentiary.
Several years ago McCallum was sent
to the penitentiary from Alexandria,
Hanson county, to serve a term of five
years for forgery. He left behind him
at Alexandria a faithful wife and fou
children. They finally followed him to
Sioux Falls in order to be near him
while he was serving his term. When
McCallum finally was pardoned his
faithful wife was at the prison door as
he stepped forth to greet him and gave
him a hearty welcome.
It was only a short time until he
again became involved in trouble
through his penchant for committing
the crime of forgery. Involved with
him was a doctor connected with q
Sioux Falls institution. but through q
peculiar construction of the law Mccall
lum was not prosecuted.
In the meantime Mrs. McCallum had
procured employment in Sioux Falls,
was taking care of herself and children
When her husband, soon after his re-
lease, took up his residence at DeS
Moines. Ia. He wrote for her to join
him there. She refused, fearing he
would not be able to support herself
and children.
Soon after her refusal she received a
pitiful message sent in the name of a
man purporting to be a physician and
stating that if she wished to see her
husband alive she would have to make
a hurryup visit to Des Moines. She
responded to this urgent message, and
when she left the train at Des Moines
was surprised to find her husband at
the depot, well and healthy. He had
taken this means of securing the pres
ence in DeS MoineS of his wife.

How Diamonds Are Mined.

Machinery and barbed wire have

Ing up demonstrating blue earth and
protecting the valuable finds employed
20 years g in the South African dia-
mond mines. The depths of the strange
crater-shaped hole in which the pecu-
liar diamond-bearing earth Is confined
Is now penetrated by shafts, reaching
hundreds of feet down into the earth,
with 40-foot levels. The broken earth
is removed in closed trucks to the sur
face, where, after a season of exposure
to sun n atmosphere, strewn on the
ground. it is hauled to the mills. Here
pulsators finally locate the diamonds
on grease covered inclined tables, to
which the diamonds adhere, while loose
sand, earth and gravel are washed
away by water. Acres of ground, cov-
cred by broken earth brought UP from
the mines. contain possibly millions OF
dollars worth Of gems, and these treas
ure troves are protected by high fences
of barbed wire, with intricate arrange
ments at the corners and at the gates.
About 1000 miles of wire are used in
the defenses about the Kimberley
mines.

WOMAN FAILS IN EFFORT
TO ANNUAL HER DECREE

Deadwood. S. d. April Elm one of
the most remarkable trials held here
in years, Judge James McNenny, of the
circuit court, declined to set aside the
divorce decree of Mrs. Anna Daugh-
erty, of Chadron. Neb., which she OBJ
tanned over a year g here from Rob-
ert L. Daugherty, former mine in
spector, a resident of Lead. Mrs.
Daugherty sought to annual her decree
on the grounds hat she lac been de-
ceived by her husband and her at
torneys when she secured her decree
and that collision was practiced. AT
that time she was a resident of Lead
and asked and obtained a divorce from
Daugherty, then state mine inspector,
in the local court on the ground Of
cruelty. reciting a story of how Daugh-
erty abused and struck her in the
presence of her attorneys. In the
present suit she alleged that the blows
Daugherty gave her were part of a
frame up between him and her at
torneys so that she would have cause
for a divorce. She also fatty denied
her previous testimony. Since the
divorce Daugherty remarked and her
former attorneys introduced letters in
this suit tending to show that Mrs.
Daugherty had written them after
D~augherty's marriage that she pro-
posed to teach Daugherty a lesson,
On the stand she disputed the testi-
mony of the judge who granted her a
divorce on her former petition and
denied telling him what he swore she
testified to in order to obtain her
decree. This second trial lasted two
days and the court decided at once for
the defendant.
