THRIFTY WOMAN
Inquired About Insurance Before
Killing Her Husband.

Lead, Aug. 22.-Letters alleged to
have been written to the officers of
f~raternal lodges i'm Lead by Mrs.
Spaletto, a former resident of the
Black Hills, promise to play an inn
portant part in the trial of the wom-
an, who recently at the new home of
herself and husband at Globe, Ariz.,
shot and killed her husband and
wounded another man.
1t is alleged the woman was in
communication with the officers of
the lodge about a month before the
tragedy at Globe, and that in her al
legged communications she made in
quiries as to her husbands member
ship in the lodges and whether he
had kept up the payments on life in
surance carried in the lodges.
1t is further alleged that she re-
quested information as to whether or
not the insurance would be paid in
the event that her husband was I'M
fortunate enough to meet a violent
death.
1t is said the defense of the woman
will be, if she admits the authenticity
of the alleged letters, that she had in
mind the possibility of her husband
being killed by accident in the mine
in which he was employed when she
penned the alleged communications
to South Dakota lodge officials.

WOMAN
BY Farm Hand Who Then Kills
Himself.

Grinnell, Ia, Aug. 22.-Lester
Noble. aged so, employed as a farm
hand by Mrs. John Cummings. about
the same age, since her husbands
death five years ago, killed the wom-
an and committed suicide at the
Cummings home, ten miles southeast
of Grinnell. Noble is said to have
been discharged by the woman, which
may account for the murder and sui
eide. There is a rumor that he was
infatuated with the woman and that
she discharged him for this reason.
Noble returned home from a neigh
boring town, put the team in the barn
and went to his room on the second
floor of the house, where he secured
a revolver. On returning to the first
floor he opened fire on the woman,
the first bullet striking her on a fin
ger. The second bullet pierced her
head, causing instant death. After
emptying the used shells on the porch
Noble returned to the woman's side
and kneeiing down, fired a bullet
through his own head dying instantly.
A daughter and three sons of the
woman were at home at the time.
When the first shot was fired they
fled to a neighbours home nearby for
assistance, but help arrived too late,

THUNDER STORM
THIS ENTIRE SECTION VISITED
BY A HEAVY DOWNPOUR OF
RAIN-SOME DAMAGE.

A terrific electric storm came upon
this section this morning about $3.50,
and for an hour or more the light

city and the thunder roared like the
artillery of war.
In the city the rainfall amounted
to nearly one inch. There was some
slight damage to the electric light

thing in normal condition before 8
o'clock this morning. The same may
be said of the telephone system.
Lightning struck the residence of DR..
Burlingame, entering on the electric
light wire, passing down the switch
wire and disconnecting it. Thence
the mysterious juice bored a hole
through the top of the ice cabinet and
after Kidding the zinc lining sub

The farm house on the j. j. Fisher
farm east of Lake Madison, occupied
by Hiram Richardson was struck by
lightning and burned to the ground,
with practically all of the household
goods. The family is large and it re-
quired all the efforts of Mr.. and Mrs.
Richardson to safely remove the chill
dren without paying attention to the
property loss. The house was valued
at about $1,000.
Rev. j. e. Booth of Ramona sends
The Daily Leader a message that
the spire of the Christian church
building was struck by lightning this
morning. Terrific electric storm.
Heavy rain"
Trainmen arriving this morning
state that the storm extended north
to Bristol, west to washington

While this immediate vicinity was
not in need of rain, the ~downpour is
welcomed and while ~thrashing opera
tions will be suspended until Monday,
corn, potatoes and pastures will be

FINE IMPROVEMENT
Remodeling of Baptist Church Build
ing Nearly Finished.

The people of the First Baptist
church in Madison have just about
completed their new basement, and
indeed they have every reason to be
proud of 1t. The work was begun
last March and there has been more
or less work going on in the building
ever since. The church has been
raised fifteen inches, the old wall has
been removed and a new concrete
wall 10 feet and 4 inches high has
taken its place. The partitions and
ceiling has been ceiled with hard
wood and presents a very beautiful
appearance. The walls have not as
yet been finished, but the building is
in use now by the Baptist people.
On next Friday evening, Aug. 20,
the young people are to give a social
in the new basement. 1t really is
the first gathering in the social room
and will doubtless be a very popular
gathering. Everybody is invited to
attend. The young people are going
to serve ice cream and melon. 1t is
hoped that many people will avail
themselves of this chance to come
and see the new basement and enjoy
a pleasant evening. Besides the WORK
on the basement the walls and wood
work upstairs has all been newly
decorated.

TAX EQUALIZATION
RAISE In THE STATE OF ABOUT
ST., 900, 900 OVER 1913.

The state tax commission at Pierre
have completed their work of equal
ization and a total increase of about
SIT, 900, 900 in South Dakota farm
lands is shown by the revised sched-
ule for 1914, In which several raises
and a few reductions were made from
the assessment schedule of 1913. The
principal increases are in the higher
priced land districts in the southeast
ern section. where the listings had
been below the actual valuations
as provided in the states present as
sessment plans. Most of the decreases
were in the western section, where
the boom conditions of a few years
ago had pushed prices beyond present
actual values.

ceived the schedule OF revised equal
ization for Lake county which Is as
