To Save Sugar.

When making cranberry jelly use
a pinch of soda before straining the
cranberries. It will take only about
half as much sugar and does not hurt
the flavor or keep it from jellying.
Stewed apricots, rhubarb, etc., may be

ANONYMOUS THREATS

Former Wealthy Merchant Gave
Out Letters Threatening
Violence to Him.

Armour. S. D., March 27.--Threats Of
personal violence against J.. C.
~Cantonwinc, for many years one of the
best known residents OF Armour and
Douglas county, are claimed by him
to have been responsible for his having
disposed OF all his Armour property
and acquired a section of land three
miles from Clark, Clark county, TO
which the family will move at once.
Cantonwlne has had a spectacular
career. Last year he completed a term
In the federal penitentiary at Leaven-
worm. KAN, for alleged perjury and
attempted to conceal assets in a bank
ruptcy case instituted against him by
a number of his creditors. The ease
was one Of the most notable in the his
tory Of South Dakota.
Up to the fall of 1906 C~antonwine
was regarded as one Of the substantial
merchants OF the state. His implement
and vehicle establishment in Armour
was one of the most extensive of it's
III in South Dakota. He accumulated
large areas of farm land and other
property.
He became involved in financial diff
fculties. claiming that on the night of
September is, 1908, he had been robbed
or $4,000 in cash. He alleged that at
the time of the robbery he had in the
little safe In his store S33, 900 in bills.
$4,000 in gold and 5000 in silver. and
that the safe was burglarized and the
money carried away.
AS the result of a hearing before the
referee in bankruptcy it was ruled that
the story of the burglary was untrue
and that the claim of robbery was part
OF a conspiracy on the part Of Canton
wine and his wife to conceal the money
for the purpose Of ~defrauding creditors.
Cantonwine afterward was tried and
convicted on the charge of perjury.
Recently Cantonwlne gave out
threatening letters sent to him in
Armour, these being signed: "A lot of
Citizens in Armur," and warning him
to keep still and not say anything if
he wished to live in Armour. Following
the making public of these letters came
the announcement thai Cantonwine had
