DISBARMEMT CASE
ANOTHER COUNT LODGED-THE
RICKGAUER COUNT.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 3O.-The intro
duction of another count in the series
of charges Attorney General c. c.
Caldwell has lodged against Geo. w.
Egan in supper of his demand hat
Egan's license to practice law in the
state be revoked on the ground of al
legged unprofessional conduct and
fraudulent financial dealings with
clients, and a fight to keep the record
of the Kickland case out of this ac-
ton, marked the fourth days pro-
eeedings in the disbarment suit now
being heard at the courthouse by a
committee of lawyers appointed by
the South Dakota supreme court to
heal the evidence.
The Rickgauer count has to do
with the alleged dealings of Egan
with Henry Rickgauer of Charles Mix
county, while acting as his legal ad-
wiser in an action in the United States
district court, wherein Rickgauer was
charged with introducing liquor upon
an Indian reservation. Henry Rick
gauer testified on the stand that he
had retained Egan to appear for him
dl the dIldlS iiFhA Oh thAS VIAL Sc
and that he had paid him $25. After
this sum was paid, Rickgauer said,
Egan went to him and told him there
would be considerable expense con-
nected with the case, and that he
might have to carry ii up to the
United States circuit court of appeals
in which case he would have TO have
security for the expenses involved.
Upon this representation, R~ickgauer
testified, he and his wife gave Egan a
note and mortgage for $1,000. Mrs.
Henry Rickgauer testified that she
was present and heard the converse
ton at the time the note and mort
gage were given and she stated that
1t was the understanding that these
were turned over to Egan as security
for expenses If the case was tried.
The case against Rickgauer in the
federal courts was dismissed by the
district attorney and never came to
trial. c. j. Morris, who was at the
time assistant United States district
attorney, was a witness and testified
that he had notified Egan by tele-
phone two days, to the best of his
recollection. before the date Egan OBJ
tanned the 81, 900 mortgage, that the
case would not be tried at the cur
rent term of court.
Rickgauer ~endeavored to get Egan
to return the note and mortgage, he
said on the stand, but Egan, he said
refused.
Called to the stand, Egan admitted
he appeared only at the arraignment
but declared that the $1,000 was alb
solute payment and that his services
in the case were worth that sum.

STEALS Wife and AUTO
ILLINOIS MAN HELD AT WATER
TOWN ON A SERIOUS
CHARGE.

i. WATERFOWL, Aug. 30.-Quite SEN
%sational developments have resulted
from the investigation by local au-
thorities into the finding of an auto
mobile abandoned in the southwest
ern part of the city last week.
Upon the arrest of Leo Hardy of
Blandissville, Ill, and a woman and
child accompanying him, the authori-
ties were convinced that Hardy had
stolen the car. This proved to be
true, William Lyons of the same
town in Illinois, claiming the car as
stolen from him.
Then came the sensational disclos-
ure when the husband of the woman
found in company with Hardy, show
ed up. He claimed that Hardy had
stolen his wife, then stolen the Lyons
a and was making for the west. II
also developed shortly after the ar
rest of Hardy here that he had stolen
some money and food at a house west
of the city.
The husband took the child away
from the woman and has gone to
work in the harvest fields near here.
He will have nothing to do with his
unfaithful spouse.

EXPRESS RATE CASE
WILL BE REOPENED BEFORE EN-
AMINER HAGERTY AT
SIOUX CITY.

Sioux Falls. Aug. 30.-Commis-
sioner r. ID. Springer of the Sioux
Falls traffic bureau has received 10
tice that the Sioux City Commercial
club case against the American Elk
press company will be reopened be-
fore Examiner Hagerty of the United
States court at Sioux City on Septem-
Der "a, at whtch time the entire
board of railroad commissioners with
their attorneys and rate experts will
be present To attempt TO justify ths
South Dakota state rates and to con-
vince the interstate commerce COM
mission that there is no commercial
necessity for a change in the rates.
The complaint of Sioux City
against the discriminatory effect of
the South Dakota state express rates
was heard at Sioux City October 26
and 81, 1914, before a special exam
liner of the interstate commerce com
mission. The contention and evil
dence introduced by several jobbers
was that the difference in rates from
Sioux City and those applicable with
in the state brought about prohibit
i've competition, as a result of which
the South Dakota dealers were buy
ing goods from Sioux Falls, Mitchell.

TURN FROM A VISIT IN
NORTH DAKOTA.

J. j. Dahl and daughter, Miss En-
ma, stenographer in the First Ma
tional bank, returned yesterday from
a two weeks vacation visit in Plaza,
N. ID, A pleasing feature of their
visit was the marriage of Mr.. Dahls
son, Edward at Plaza on the 25th
inst, to Miss Inez Hagen, daughter
of a merchant at that place. Ed was
raised in Madison and his friends
here will be pleased to read of his
new relation. Mr.. Dahl and daugh-
ter were guests at the home of his
son. Albert, who also passed his boy
hood days in Madison, now postmas-
ter at Plaza, his office supplying a
large scope of the new country with
mail. Mr.. Dahl states that an aver
age of twenty-five sacks of mail ar
rived daily which is largely distrib-
uted throughout the vicinity over
FIVE rural routes. Plaza being a town
of about 500. Albert Dahl also man
ages a farm which he owns near
town and is harvesting an immense
crop of wheat. oats and barley this
year. He also owns n of the finest
residences in the town, and is pros
pering.
Mr.. j. j. Dahl is one of Madison's
pioneer citizens having passed
through the demonstrating days OF
Lake county thirty-five years ago. A
visit TO the new section of North Da-
kota where homesteaders abound, re-
newed his youth, and were his score
of a less numerous nothing
would stop him from taking a North
Dakota claim, in the vicinity of Plaza
and thus again experiencing the
homesteader days of Lake county.

THE COST OF A farmers
LIVING IN PENNSYLVANIA
Average Figured by U. s. Department
of Agriculture at $f57.44, Which
Is Sis.56 Less Than Results OBJ
tanned in Other States

Washington, D. c., Jan. IA sur
vey of forty-three farms in section OF
Pennsylvania where general farming is
praeticed has recently been completed
bv the United States Department of
Agriculture, in order to ascertain how
much the average farm contributed to
the family s living in the form of prod
ucts grown and consumed directly ON
the farm. There are two ways of OBJ
tanning the necessities of life--raising
them one s self, and raising something
else to sell for money to buy them with.
Successful farming, say the experts, de,
pends upon the proper combination OF
the two methods.
The Investigators found that in the
area studied in Pennsylvania the cost
of board and lodging on the farm for
each individual was on an average
S157 year. This sum included food,
fuel, oil, house rent and house labor,
the items being as follows:
Food, s75.40; fuel, $S.SS; oil,
s1.21; house rent, sal; house labor,
SAL; total, $157.44.
Compared with the figures obtained
by similar surveys made IN the course
of the investigation of areas III New
York. Vermont, Ohio, Wisconsin,
Kansas, Iowa, North Carolina, Georgia
and Texas, this is somewhat low, the
general average for all the areas studied
being s176. This means that the farm
family in the Pennsylvania area did
not live so well, did not have so good
a share of the necessities Of life, as
those elsewhere. One explanation, APP
parent at once, is the fact that in
Pennsylvania an average of So persons
lived on farms averaging only n acres
each, whereas the average acreage for
all the areas was 122 and the number
of persons TO family only 4.6.
1t is significant, however, that the
annual consumption of food per person
in Pennsylvania was, with the excep-
ton of Vermont, the lowest of all the
areas studied, and that at the same
time the percentage of the food sup
piled directly by the farm was ALEC
next to the lowest. The Pennsylvania
farm supplied the family with only
51.4 per cent. of its food while the
general average of all the areas was 63
per cent. and in North Carolina it rose
to S2.S per cent. As a result, al
though the North Carolina family spent
in cash only $71.2S for food it actually
had more to eat-s401.9S-than the
average Pennsylvania family which
consumed total of sS92.01, and
spent S201.69 in cash. The years food
for each person in the North Carolina
family was worth sS9.S2; in Pennsyl-
vania. only s15.4u.

Hart, an officers steward, was the
last man to leave the Formidable as
she foundered. Describing the scene as
the battleship sank Hart says:
"When everything had been done to
save the Formidable, the boats came
alongside and took off as many as pos

the crew of one cried room for one
more!' Two of us tossed for it and the
other chap won, but he then cried out ::
