Two Box Car
Thieves Captured
Deputy Sheriff A. A. Axtell
Lands Them Here Sunday
Evening

While making tour of inspec-
tion in the railroad yards last
Sunday evening, Deputy Sheriff
A. A. Axtell picked up a pair of
suspicious looking characters and
took them to the city bastile for
examination.
A search of the individuals re-
vealed several new articles of
wearing apparel and warranted
the deputy sheriff in holding
them over until Monday, at
which time it was learned that a
box car on the Milwaukee tracks
had been entered and several
boxes of freight therein broken
into.
The articles found on the per-
son of the two men in custody
corresronded exactly with the
articles taken from the boxes,
which had been shipped from an
eastern company to Rashid
Brothers of this city.
When taken into custody, each
of the men wore three new wool
en- over shirts under light cot
ton shirt, in addition to this each
man had supplied himself with a
new sweater, new suit Of
underwear and a pair of pants.
They were arraigned before
Justice Sampson and waived ex-
animation. They were t h e n
bound over on charge Of third
degree burglary and taken to the
county Jail at Bison where they
will appear before the next term
of the circuit court which will
convene in Bison, October 10Th.
Officer Axtell is entitled to
much credit for nabbing this
pair. as they are undoubtedly
experienced crooks, and had he
passed them up in the usual
manner, NO one would have
known who burglarized the box
car.
One of the men arrested claims
that his name is John Bish and
that his home is in Pittsburg,
Pa, while the other claims Cal
ifornia for his home but does
not mention the name Of any
city or town.

able for the year, the levy is
still larger than the average OF
the general and deficiency levies
for the previous six years of
"progressive' administration.
The state tax Of 1912 was the
largest state tax ever levied in
South Dakota. By making a
levy over S4OO, 900 too small, the
miscellaneous receipts included,
to meet the expenditures, our
great tax commission succeeded
in making the 1913 state tax
1926, ,489.2l smaller than the 1912
tax. So far as am concerned
the tax commission can go to
warmer climate with such disre-
putable tactics. The amount
that the state tax together with
the miscellaneous receipts is too
small to meet the expenditures

Blaze Is Started
At An Early Hour
Fire at the Oscar E. Olsen Home,
Little Damage Done

Oscar &. Olson was awakened
early Monday morning from a
sound sleep, to find smoke is
suing from the front part Of his
house into the rear bedroom in
which he was sleeping,
A haSty examination showed
that the blaze was confined to a
pile of papers and rags which he
had used previously while var
nishing and cleaning some up
stairs rooms.
In preparing the rooms for the
return Of Mrs. Olson and the
children this week, he had gone
about the housecleaning and had
absent-mindedly cast the paper
and lnhamables on the h1t air
register in the front room. In
some manner they were ignited
as stated above.
Mr.. Olson was fortunate in
aWaklng at an oDportune time

house from serious damage.

The woman was placed under
arrest at once and taken to Het-
finger where she will receive
preliminary hearing this week.
The evidence against her is Of
course altogether circumstantial
but owing to the many contra
dictory statements she has made
and to the general demeanor of
the woman, it is generally be-
Iieved that she knows how Smith
was killed, even granting that
she did not actually deliver the
blow herself.
The woman had been under
the influence Of liquor more or
less for the past couple of days

make totally different statements

character who has made his home
in North Lennon, just across
the state line in North Dakota.
for the past few years, was
found in a da2ed and bleeding
condition by Mrs. Sarah German,
a half sister with whom he was
making his home.
| In what manner he had been
assaulted and the death blow in
tlicted is a complete mystery. 1t
is known that Mrs. German,
Smith and boone companion,
Harry Sanders, had been under
the influence of liquor from early
in the morning until nearly noon.
| Saunders states that he went
over to the Smith-Gorman house
about 4 o'clock in the morning
and got them up in order that he
might get drink. 1t seems by
this statement that there was
liquor there of which he had
knowledge. In continuing his
story, Harry says, that he cooked
breakfast for the three of them
and stayed around until past the
middle of the forenoon at which
time he left and returned to his
IoWn rooms above the Hussa
block. where he slept for some
time. Getting up later be chang
cd his clothes and attended to
some matters up and down the
Istreet and then returned to the
Smith. German house. Seeing
Mrs. German in the yard. he
asked her where Pole" (Napo-
leon) was and was told by her
that he was in the house sitting
on stool. Turning into the
house at the kitchen door. he
found the entire room smeared
with blood and a large puddle in
one corner near the range where
Smith had evidently been sitting
He states that he at once turned
to Mrs. German for an explana-
tion and she claimed that he was
} cut about the head by falling
through the window, (the window
was broken apparently from the
inside) while she was outside
doing some work. Harry states.
that he at once went to Chris
Westergaards and Dick Murphy's S
place for assistance and found
both Murphy and Westegaard at
home. He informed them of the
trouble and they returned with
him to the house where they
! found Smith sitting on a pail
dead. They looked about the
house and found blood smeared
over nearly the entire house.
About this time DR.. Strang ap-
peared having been summoned
by Mrs. German. He examined
the dead NAH and found that his
skull had been cracked behind
the left ear and cash about an
inch and half long in the scalp.
| A hammer was picked up IN the
room, the sharp point OF which
exactly fitted into the cash, a
few hairs that were undoubtedly
from Smiths s head, were cling
ing to the hammer.
Sheriff Sticken and States At

were at once communicated with
at Hettinger and they summoned
the coroner and came to Lennon
Monday afternoon.
