GLOVER, MANY YEARS
SOUTH DAKOTA TOUGH,
GOES TO CANADA PEN
Convicted of Murder In Alberta
Country-Killed A. B. DAILY
at Gettysburg.

Spearfish, S. D., May 31.-Informa-
ton from the British northwest Is to
the effect that Rome Glover, q former
resident Of South Dakota, was con-
Vlcted Of killing a man IN the Alberta
country and has been sentenced to 81
term of 20 years in a Canadian peniten-
tiary.
Glover had a checkered career during
the time he was a resident of South
Dakota. In one instance he shot am
killed a man and was released on the
ground of self defense. He also has
served a term in the Sioux Falls peni-
tentlary. On other occasions he was
lnVolved In other sensational episodes.
AT the time of becoming involved In
the murder which has landed him in
the Canadian prison he was in the AL
berta country with a string Of race
horses. Many of the sensational events
IN which he has been involved We're
due to his fiery temper, which would
brook no interference.
His Staying of a man in South Da-
kota was the elimination of threats
which had been made against his life
by A. B. DAILY while Glover was en-
gagged in h saloon business at Get
tysburg. This was in August, 1901. AS
the result of a difficulty between the
two men DAILY threatened to kill Glover
on sight. He started a search for
Glover with the announced intention
OF carrying out his threat.
Glover's friends gave him warning,
and he went to the second story of his
building armed with a Winchester rifle.
When he espied DAILY on the opposite
Side of the street he raised a window
and shot DAILY through the head, caus-
ing almost instant death. The coro-
ner's jury returned a verdict of self
defense.
Glover's eventful career In South
Dakota extended over the past % years.
A couple of years ago he became en-
ragged at a Jockey during races on the
Spearfish track because his (Glover's)
horse was beaten and struck the jockey
several severe cut with a riding whip,
for which the judges disqualified him
from riding on the track.
In 1906 Glover was convicted in
Meade county on the charge or horse
"rustling" and was sentenced to a term
in the Sioux Falls p~enitentiary. 1t was
charged that he stole two horses from
Charles Lawn, a Meade county rancher,
n two from A. Z. Buchanan, who for
a time was q resident of Spearfish.
Glover took the stolen animals to
Springview, Neb., n sold them.
A couple of years ago several race
horses hat had been in Spearfish dur
ing the fall races were taken to White
wood n billed to some point in Illi-
nois, where they were owned. The car
In which the horses We're supposed to
W been shipped was burned and the
horses in~cinerated at some point on the
Northwestern railway near Long Pine,
Neb. 1t has been claimed by some who
profess to have known, that the race
horses never were placed in the car,
but that worthless horses had been
substituted and the race horses Snug
gled away to some point north n
east of Whitewood.

COURT RULES THAT LICENSE
FEES CANNOT RE REEilNnrn

Centerville, S. D.. June 2.-That sa-
loon license money, once paid in for the
purpose of engaging in the LIQUOR bust
ness, cannot be refunded, is the sub
stance of a decision handed down by
Judge Robert Trip, OF Yankton. in the
suit brought by Mayor Eye ct al. to en-
join the city officials of Centerville
from refunding SS47.76 to Frank Grit
fin and Harry Hewett.
The money was paid by the two men

saloons in Ce~nterville. A temporary in
junction was obtained to prevent the
city from refunding the license money,
ana the decision of Judge Trip con-
tinues the restraining order.

We're at least three fatalities from the
cloudburst in Stanley county Tuesday

ceived here from the country district, IA
miles north of here. The victims were
Mrs. Harry Smith. an adopted daugh-
ter IL years Of age. n B. w. Kirk
patrick, an employe at the Smith home.
The family was asleep when the
house was washed into the creek by the
high water and after floating some dis
lance the floor was torn out of the
house, dropping the occupants into the
water. Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Kirkpatrick
secured a hold on the branch Of a tree,
but the women were washed away i'm
mediately. After maintaining his hold
for about five hours Mr.. Kirkpatrick
became SO chilled that he lost his hold
and was also washed away. Mr.. Smith
escaped with the coming of daylight. 1t
is feared that other residents along the
creek lave met a like fate, as nothing

WEATHER AND CROPS


Deadwood, S. D., May 29.-Over two
inches of rain has fallen in this section

spring has far exceeded that of any
spring for years.
From all reports the late frost did lit
tie damage in the northwestern part Of
the state, some vegetation in the high
est points being killed, but alfalfa and
other crops suffered but slightly. The
amount Of rain and snow last fall has
virtually assured at least two good
crops of alfalfa and native hay and
grasses, and with a fair amount of
moisture late in June and through July
this part of the state will show better
crops thar for many years.
