hcials of the Commercial National
bank of Wagner wired to a Chicago
to the truth of the claim OF Thomas
Evans, a South Dakota man, that he

IN the east and announced that he was
a wealthy ranchman who was search

IN Chicago and told a fantastic tale
about himself and his Importance in
South Dakota. He told a Chicago
newspaper that he had three ranches
in South Dakota, a big general mer-
Chandise store at Greenwood, Yankton
Indian agency, and a 70-acre farm in
western Illinois. He stated that now
that he had made his pile he wanted
to retire, and had visited Chicago for
the purpose of getting a wife. He is
quoted as saying:
81 don't care if she is a blonde or
brunette and don't want any woman
with money. If she's about my age,
AZ, or under, it will be all right, and
| don't mind if she is a widow-that is,
providing she hasn't too many chill.
dren. She won't have to do a lick Of
work the rest of her days.
Instead of owning a big general
merchandise store" at Greenwood, his
place of business there is a little can
dy store.
On a prior occasion when Evans in
vaded the east and announced to the
world that he wanted a wife he in
duced a ~19-year-old girl to amrry him
in the east, in spite Of the fact that
he already had a wife at Greenwood.
The authorities took the matter up
and the result was that Evans was CIV
en- a short short term in Jail upon be-
ing convicted of bigamy. Now he is
looking for another wife.

Gives Club Entertainment

Monday evening at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Meyer the
Liberal band entertained in honor
'of the Liberal Dramatic club.
Last winter the club gave a play
for the band and donated the pro.
ceeds to the band. The appreci.
alton of the work of the club was
shown in this way to the band
Each member of the club was
privileged to invite a guest and
the band boys invited one. This
made the guest list number about
thirty. After a band concert,
light refreshments were served
after which toasts to the band and
club were proposed. Assisting
Mrs. Meyer with the serving was
Miss Nellie Berry. That the en-
tertainment was appreciated by
the Dramatic Club is assured when
they suggested that another play
was in order for the boys, The
guests who were SO fortunate as
to be included in the good time
are hopeful that another play and
another banquet for the club may
be given.
