crop OF peanuts. In the late spring
he sent away for some seed, and used
others procured from a local peanut
stand. He has secured from each
seed about as much as one usually

patch an enormous sack full. The
peanuts were not given any special
care beyond that of the rest of the

up with the country, and finally took
his fathers automobile and started
west over the Yellowstone trail. A
wire from the Webster authorities
along the line west caught the boy
here and he was held until the ar

BOWMAN TRIAL
Selecting Jurors for Service i'm MUIR
der Case ut Yankton.

Yankton, Oct. 17.-For the first
time in eight years the Yankton
court house is the scene of a murder
trial, and is thronged with people all
day. Charles L. Bowman, alleged
slayer of Nellie Brewer, is on trial
for his life, and the work of selecting
a jury began Thursday morning.
After an all day session it became evil
dent that this first task would con-
sumo another day, and may drag in
to several.
The parents of the murdered girl,
the part Indian mother of the prison
er, and other near relatives, are TAX
ing the keenest interest in the work
of procuring a jury. Bowman, whose
life is at stake, is a neatly dressed,
well groomed young man, and as lit
tie like a murderer as one could
imagine. He shows little trace of
his quarter blood Indian lineage, I'M
less in his uniformly unruf1ed ex-
The pallor of several months in
jail is, however, noticeable. The trial
is likely to take up the attention of
the court for most of next week.

CIRCLE OFF BALLOT
south Dakota Voters win Mark for
Each Candidate.

Pierre, Oct. 17.-The circle at the
head of the ballot having been
abolished by law, the voters of South
Dakota are for the first time called
upon to place a cross in the square
beside the name of every candidate
for whom they wish to vote. 1t is not
expected that much confusion will re-
suit from the elimination of the
party circle.
Under the old law the use of the
circle was optional, being only for
those who wished to vote a straight
party ticket. To make sure of cast
ing a legal ballot a large proportion
of the voters in former elections have
voted by making a mark before the
name of each candidate of their
choice and have let the party circle
severely alone.
1t Is not believed, therefore. that
the circle will be greatly missed. al,
though the man who has always
voted a straight party ticket will find
that it will take him a little longer
to mark his ballot.

CHAS. III. BURKE
Comes Back to South Dakota to Be
gin Speaking Campaign

Sioux Falls, Oct. 17.-Congress-
mar Charles III. Burke, republican
nominee for the United States senate,
spent a few hours in Sioux Falls
calling upon friends and political as
sociates. Mr.. Burke left Washington
a few days earlier than he had ex-
pected in order to meet his daughter
before she leaves on an extended
journey.
II am back home to take a place
right on the firing line,'" the con
gresham said. LAS / see it, my duty
as one of the nominees of the repub-
lican party Is to aid the whole ticket
and in my speeches l shall urge the
voters to support every republican
candidate as strongly as | shall So
licit support for myself"
Mr.. Burke said, in his belief, con
gress will not adjourn at the expected
time. The southern cotton planters
are insisting upon government help
in cashing in their crop and the sen
ators and representatives from the
south will probably not, he said, quit
fighting until they have either won
or hopelessly lost.
II shall get back to Washington to
take part just as soon as / can per-
form what / regard as my duty here
at home" Mr.. Burke said. II ar
ranged to be paired with a colleague
during my absence from the house"
The congressman took luncheon
with Allen r. Fellows, chairman of
the county republican committee and
leader of the republican forces in
Minnehaha. In the afternoon he left
for his home at Pierre.

jury in the case of j. Alfred Ward,
charged with contributing to the de-
linquency of three young girls, at

short time, and the case against him
was dismissed. The other defend.
ant, Jack Ingersoll, is seriously i'll OF
typhoid at Seattle, and his trial was

Mr.. Richards, independent candi-

real estate and income only. He is
against taxation of any kind of build

Pigeon Farm On Depot Road

Much interest in being shown in
the pigeon house just completed by
Edgar McMullin on his lot recently
purchased on Depot Road.
The building has a capacity for
600 pigeons. The birds were NOV
ed from their old home on Chestnut
Hill last week and are just begin
ming to become accustomed to their
new quarters.
Of course the moving has caused
considerable loss and it will be five
or six six weeks before regular ship
ments will be made. Later it is the
intent to extend the house to 400
feet, making a capacity of 1000
birds.
With the 300 pairs, now quarter
ed in the building Mr.. McMullin
expects to ship from 40 to 60 birds
a week. Six hundred birds will
give him about 1900 pairs during a
year.
The New York market pays the
highest prices for squads, ranging
from As to 80 cents per pair accord
ing to size and season. The birds
are sold by weight, ranging usually
from to IL pounds per dozen.
SQUAD raising has been given
considerable attention around Els
mere and Marshallton.
Mr.. McMullin has the foundation
here for very interesting and re-
munerative business and friends
acquainted with the detailed care
he gives, are predicting well earn

hour were amusing themselves by
shooting at target in the rear of

calibre revolver, had been taken by
Short from the overcoat pocket OF
elder brother. Two other boys were
members Of the party.
After firing at the target for
some time and their supply Of am
munition becoming exhausted it is
alleged that Short ordered Mccall
to 90 to a nearby store and pur-
chase more bullets. The boy, in
stead of complying, announced his
intention of going home to dinner
whrreupon Short fired at him,
shooting him through the heart and
killing him instantly.
Short. after committing the crime
walked away in an unconcerned
manner. Chief of Police Potts,
