DAMAGE SUIT FOR
$4,000 ASKED FOR
DAUGHTERS RUIN
Father Files Big Claim Against
q Wealthy Married
Merchant.

Parker, S. D.. Jan. 3.-The culmina-
zion came today of a year of gossip and
threatened personal encounters, when
J. f.. Vogt, OF Marion. filed an action for
$4,000 damages against Charles AL
drich, q wealthy rea estate dealer, of
WatertoWn, charging that the defend
ant had been guilty of seducing his
youngest daughter, Anna Vogt.
Aldrtch Is married and has two chill
dren. He bought a hardware store a
Marion about two years ago and spent
part of his time in that city. His al
legged attentions to the Vogt girl
aroused the hostility of her relatives
and OF other residents and at one time
2 crowd threatened to mob him, but he
b1uffed them out.
The Vogt girl seemed to be infatua-
ted with him and vel left home for a
time on accoun of objections made by
her parents. Mr.. Vogt made one trip
to Watertown and voiced personal
complaint to Mrs. Aldrich Of her hus-
bands conduct, it is said.
In the petition fled here today,
Vogt alleges that Aldrich harbored,
concealed and secreted the PLAINTIFF 8
daughter and persuaded her to remain
absent from the family for the purpose
of debauchery, and that on one occa-
sion h girl was enticed to remain
away from home for a period Of six
months.
The filing OF the suit has created a
sensation here and in Marion, as both
families are prominent and the ease is
one of the very first of the kind to be
tried In South Dakota.

Eagle, an aged Sioux warrior, residing
on the Rosebud reservation, has
brought to a local taxidermist for
mounting an nusua specimen, being
the skin of a leopard seal. which had
been a priced object in his tepee for a
period of more than 40 years. 1t has
been regarded as a talisman. and to it
Poor Eagle attributes much of the
good luck which has attended him
through life.
When a young buck. Poor Eagle
heard from visiting Indians from the
far northwest Of the wonderful medici-
nal charms of the leopard seal. He
pondered a long time over the matter
and finally started on foot for Alaska,
the home of the coveted talisman. In
Alaska he secured the skin, killing the
animal which wore it with his own
hands, and then packed 1t back to his
home in what now is South Dakota.
Poor Eagle is one of the wealthy men,
5ers Of his race, himself and family

Berlin Omcial Statement.

Berlin. via. Amsterdam. oct. T.
The official statement today admits
that the French have gained some
ground along the river Mouse but de-
clares that the German right wing
under Gen. Won Bochn successfully
na nked the allies and forced them To
rush reinforcemcnts to the front to
avert q retreat.
Ii Is claimed that for strategic rca-
sons the Germans retired To points on
the Meuse and new positions were Oc-
cupled by the French but the general
situation there remains unchanged.
The most severe fighting is taking
place on the western end Of the bat
tie line where strong German at
tack Is threatening to force allies to
retreat. The fall Of Antwerp Is be-
lievcd To he only a matter of hours.
The situation at the east Is un-
changed. The Germans are standing
firm against the I.ussian attacks.
The Austrian army in Galicia Is
arriving the I;uSsians back aud in the
south they are making gains against
