INQUIRED ABOUT INSURANCE
BEFORE SHOOTING HUSBAND

Lead, S. D., Aug. 22.-Letters alleged
to have been written to the officers of
fraternal lodges in Lead by Mrs.
Spaletto, a former resident of the
Black Hills, promise to play an i'm
portant part in the trial of the wom-
IN, 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 COM
munication with the officers of the
lodge about a month before the tragedy
at Globe, and that in her alleged COM
munications she made inquiries as to
her husbands membership in the
lodges and whether he had kept up the
payments on life insurance 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 unfor-
tunate enought 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
the South Dakota lodge officials.

vised schedule for 1914, in which sev
eral raises and a few reductions We're
made from the assessment schedule of

the higher priced land districts in the
southeastern section, where the listings
had been below the actual valuations
as provided in the states present as
sessment plans. Most of the de-
creases were in the western section,

coy letters sent through the local

DRY GOODS IMPORTS

BETTER Than Other Lines,
Which Also Suffer.

New York. Aug. 24.-Imports of gen
ecal merchandise here for the week
ending August Is We're valued at $14,-
252,22S compared with S12,419,7 1888 the
week before and $15.639,14O two weeks
ngo. Included in these imports are
s271, 039 worth of precious stones and
jewelry. Imports of dry goods for
consumption totalled $1,3S9,257 Z. silk
entries being appraised at S470, 1875. The
week before these entries were valued
at $25,496,4aQ and at S2.275,777 in the
corresponding week last year.
Significant as rejecting the paraly-
ss of shipping following the outbreak
Of the European war is the fact that
the drs. goods entries here for the week
Of August Is We're less by $1,107, 233.SO
than the preceding week. The brunt of
the tie-up appears for the week to have
fallen on dry goods as imports in other
lines show no such proportionate de-
crease.
