MAN WHO WED A SECOND TIME
MAY BE FOUND GUILTY
OF BIGAMY.

washington Springs, Nov. 30
Common law marriage AS an institu-
ton will be tested in the May term
of circuit court in Jerauld county.
when Ralph Vinegar, farmer living
west of Washington Springs. will be
brought to trial on the charge of big
amy, on which he has been held un-
der $1,000 bonds. So
Twelve years ago Vinegar and a
young woman went to Pipestone,
Mimi, to secure a marriage license.
As they were unable to get the docu-
ment on the day they were there,
they thereupon left for Washington
Springs as man and wife They lived
here for nine years and raised fam
lily of four children. Three years ago
they separated, not going through
the formality of a divorce.
On Christmas eve, 1913. Vinegar
was married at Oakes. n ID. One
child was born of the union. Recent
ly the second wife commenced action
here against Vinegar on the charge
of desertlon Investigation by the
authorities revealed that he had not
been divorced from his first wife and
then the prisoner stated that the first
marriage had not been legally per
| formed.
Inasmuch as Vinegar lived with
his first wife here for several years
under the tacit assumption that they
were man and wife, the local author
! tiles hold it to be a common law
marriage and that he was guilty oi
bigamy. having not been legally freed
from the first marital contract. Il
Vinegar is found guilty of the charge
of bigamy. he is liable to a sentence
of five years in the state penitentiary
The woman who lived here as the
first wife of Vinegar has since mar
ried. If in the state. she is liable Il

Died IN BUGGY
CLARENCE PEDERSON, NEAR 81
MAI, MEETS SUDDEN DEATH.

Sinai, Nov. 29.--Dying in a buggy
as he was about to start for his home
was the fate which befell Clarence
Peterson. one OF the best known
farmers of this section. Not until
the team and buggy had reached the
home of Pederson's parents was IL
discovered that he was dead A sud
den attack of heart failure is believed
to have been the cause of death.
Peterson and a farmer friend, Peter
Felberg, had been transacting busi-
ness in Sinai. When they were ready
to return home, which was late at
night, Peterson took his place in the
buggy while Felberg was hitching UP
the horses. When Felberg entered
the buggy he noticed that Peterson
had settled down in his seat in pc
culiar position, but believed him "
be sleeping. There Is no doubt that
Peterson was dead when Felberg en-
tered the buggy. With the dead man
beside him, Felberg drove a number
of miles before ii was discovered that
Peterson was dead. He had lived in
this section practically all of his life
being the son of early pioneer home
steaders. He is survived by a widow
and two children. The widow sepa-
rated from him some time ago, and
herself and children reside at the
home of a sister at Brookings.
