Fire losses in the city Of Grand

According to Chief F~Ytzserald's es-
innate the fire Losses during 1919
amounted to about $4,000. while dur
ing 1912 the losses were approximate
i!ly $4,000. The major portion Of the
loss In 1919 was due to the fire which
destroyed the Masonic temple early in
january. :.

ty yesterday afternoon by a rally in

by President Wilson and the demo-
cratic congress during the eighteen

MIR. Johnson's address was devoted
largely to the value of progressive
ideas and their application to nation

either republican congressman should
cease criticislng the democratic ad-
m~inistration or should cease attempt
ing to get reelected on the claims
that they have supported the progress

GEN. TODD'S PORTRAIT
Placed i'm the State Museum at Pierre.

Pierre, Oct. THE state museum
has had a gift of an oil portrait of
Gen. j. b. S. Todd, an early Sioux
City mayor, which has been present
ed by Gen. Todd's children, Mrs. w.
f. Moore of Sioux Falls and her two
brothers now residing in Minneapolis.
Gen. Todd was South Dakota's most
prominent man for several years.
He was the first delegate from Da-
kota to congress, and was very active
in the organization of the trritory.
He first came to Dakota with Capt.
Harvey, in 1855, and was topograph-
er to Harvey at that time. After
wards he resigned and was in the In
dian trade for years with Capt. ID. M.
Frost, who had been a classmate of
his at West Point. When the war be-
gan, Todd vas appointed by Lincoln
as brigadier general in charge of the
Missouri department. Frost sided
with the rebels, and was appointed a
general in the same field, but on the
opposite side, and had headquarters
at st. Louis. 1t Is not reported
whether the men ever met during the
war. but they were arm friends
again after ii was over.

Thompson's description in every de-
tail boarded his train at Fort Dodge
and rode as far as Sioux City Friday
evening. The conductors attention
was attracted to the man by his queer
actions.
Thompson was a wealthy farmer,
about 33 years old, and lived on his
farm alone. Recently he hired a
threshing crew to thresh his grain.
When the crew arrived Thompson
had disappeared. The threshers
searched the premises, but could not
find Thompson. His house was in
perfect order. 1t was surmised by
neighbors that he had left while his
mind vas unbalanced.
Thompson's financial affairs were
found to be In first class condition.
He left considerable money in the
bank, his farm is worth several thou
sand dollars, and he had raised a
large crop the last summer. Thomp-
sons friends have offered a reward
for information leading to his dis
covery.

A LONG FAST
Hog Lives Three Months Under n
Collapsed Barn.

Westport, Oct. 7.-Early In July,
while a hog on the farm of Mrs. w.
Anderson, near Westport, vas con
tentedly devouring its evening meal,
a wind and hail storm came up. and
the barn in which the hog was feed
ing was blown TO the ground.
The other day workmen started to
tear away the remains of the barn in
order to build a new structure. when
they were startled to hear a feeble
grunt underneath the pile of timbers.
Investigation disclosed the hog, ema-
ciated and feeble. but still alive, un-
der the ruined barn. The animal was
rescued, and under an exclusive milk
diet promises to regain its former
health and weight.
AT the time of the storm the hog
weighed over 800 pounds. At the
time of rescue its weight had dwind-
led to less than rs pounds. but the
animal now is putting on flesh rap
idly.

Georgetown, Colo, Oct. ALVIN
H. Golfer, a visitor from Chicago, has
arrived in town with three mountain
lion pelts and a number of ugly
gashes on his body as a result of an
encounter with the big cats near Chi
huahua on the other side of the Con-
%tinental Divide, west of here.
Golfer also had a narrow escape
from death in a storm.
The Chicago man has a dozen
bruises over his body, his arms are
bandaged and swollen and he walks
with a limp.

and turned to one side to get a better
footing and there, not ten feet away,

ARRESTED FOR MURDER
Black Hills Man Accused of Murder
of Young Man.

Rapid City, Oct. George Hard
esty of keystone is under arrest.
charged with the murder of Homer
Shank. whose body was found lying
in the road a mile west of Keystone
on June 10. The arrest of Hardesty
follows an inquiry that has been con-
Quoted by the states attorney and
sheriff ever since Shank's body was
found.
The morning of June 10, Mrs. II.
s. Davis, a rural mail carrier, found
the dead body OF Homer Shank, a
well known young man, lying In the
road, dead. Nearby, In a creek, was
a revolver. Shank had been shot,
and the theory at first was that he
had committed suicide. But the
wound that killed him was in the
back of his head, and the revolver in
the creek, 1t was found, was of an
obsolete make, and was out of COM
mission from age. The authorities
then commenced a search for the
probable murderer, and their investi-
cation finally led to the arrest of
Hardesty.
The killing OF Shank was unusual
ly sad, because the young man was
engaged to be married to Miss Ollie
Wilhelm. stepdaughter of Hardesty,
and their wedding was to have been
celebrated on the day he was muir
dered. Shank spent the evening of
June Is with Miss Wilhelm and left
her that evening with the under
standing that they were to 60 to Gus
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1914-10-07

ter the next day TO be married. Miss
Wilhelm was the last person to see
Shank alive. Mrs. Davis, who found
the body, was to have accompanied
the young couple to Custer for their
marriage. Miss Wilhelm at the time
was staying at Keystone where she
was employed.
Hardesty objected strongly to
Shank marrying his stepdaughter,
and 1t is supposed this fact led to a
quarrel when he met Shank the night
of June Is, and the shooting follow
ed. Hardesty denies his guilt, and
has engaged an attorney to defend
him.
