MISSING CASHIER OF
ROCKHAM BANK UNDER
MEMORY LAPSE SPELL
Receivers Reason and Returns
to His Home Affairs Of
Bank In Good Shape.

EaoclIham, S. D.. Dec. 11.-Recover-
ing his faculties at Gregory, Mimi.
after strange memory lapse which
caused him to disappear about a
month ago, Barney G. Hagman re-
turned yesterday to his family and his
business. He is cashier OF the Farmers
State bank at RocSham.
Relatives and friends here do not
question Mr.. Hagman's explanation
which is said to have ample connrrna-
ton at the various points where he has
been during his absence. The banks
affairs are in good shape, but MT
Hagman Is considerably in debt per-
sonally.
Since Mr.. Hagman's disappearance
a month ago a vigorous search mas
been prosecuted, but no trace or him
could be secured. Wednesday a tele-
gram came from him, filed at Gregory,
Mimi, stating that he had just recov-
cred his reason there and would return
home IL he could remain rational long
enough.
In line with this announcement he
returned to Rockham yesterday, nag
gard and worn in appearance but oth-
erwise In good health. He states that
he remembers nothing from the time
he left in his automobile for Zell, 10
make settlement on note held against
him there, until he recovered his rea-
son at Gregory. Ill
The day following his disappearance
his automobile was found within 30
rods of his destination at Zell. his
cap, overcoat and some other outer
clothing were found in the car. Blood
hounds from Mitchell were immedi-
ately placed on the trail and for two
days tried to locate the man. His ac-
counts with the bank are straight, but
it Is alleged he is heavily involved In
debt personally, and IL is thought that
worry over his financial condition
caused his strange lapse of memory

ROSE FROM THE RANKS

When Count Berchtold resigned
as minister of foreign affairs for Aus
tria-Hungary and it was announced
that Baron Stephen Burian de Rajecz
had been appointed to the position,
there was a hurried search through
books of reference for facts concern
ing this man who was to guide the
destinies of great empire at most
critical time. The search was almost
In vain, for he had been practically
unknown to the world at large. He
is an example of the possibility of
rising from the ranks to the highest
position in the state merely by doing
his full duty wherever he was placed.
Baron Burian was born in Stomfa,
Ponsony county, Hungary, in 1851. He
did not inherit the title of a baron at
his birth His father was a member of
the nobility, but did not belong to the
aristocracy.
Stephen Burian selected a career
in the consular service and received
his education in the Oriental academy
