automobile and hailing from Mt. Yer
non, figured in an escapade which
might have caused them serious
trouble. Just as they were leaving
Madison for their home they overlook
a young woman, Miss Larson, of Ar
t~esian, who is employed as a domestic
in that city. She was walking out to
a farmhouse a mile from the city. The
young men asked her to ride. She got
into the car. Arriving at her destina-
ton the girl asked to get out of the
automobile, but instead the men did
not slacken speed, and the girl jumped
out while the car was going at a rapid
rate. She was quite badly bruised by
the fall and required the attention Of
a physician. The men were overtaken
by Sheriff Butts and, rather than be de-
tanned, they paid $50 in the way Of
damages for their %escapade.
AS the result of a heated argument
over the European war, Tom Farvin of
Auburn, Neb., is at the point Of death
in the hospital at Madison. His assoil-
ant gave his name as John Glenn. He
is a harvest hand. The two men, it is
stated, were drinking quite heavily
in the town of Murdo, all day Satur-
day. When the saloons closed they
purchased a supply and, in company
with several other transients, went to
the outskirts Of the little town. An
argument followed and, it is alleged
that Glenn pulled a large pocket knife
and attacked Farvin, stabbing him in
the abdomen. The wound is extreme
ly dangerous, extending five inches,
and is three inches deep. Coroner
Kellogg and Sheriff Butts were called
to Murdo and they returned with Far
vim and Glenn, and Clarence Hudson,
James Green and Vernon Williams, the
three latter being witnesses Of the
stabbing. They are being held in the
county Jail here, awaiting the outcome
Of Farvin's condition. ,

that beside the amount on hand the
state has retired s11O, 900 Of revenue
warrants within the rear.

der, which dropped a distance of

rendering him unconscious for several
hours. The rock weighed thirty-seven
pounds.

There was a good attendance at the

An insane man, who escaped from an
is running at large in some
part of Lyman county, and efforts thus
far to capture him have proven un-
availing. John Michigan is the name
Of the missing man. He vas taken
before the county board of insanity
and adjudged insane and an attendant
from the state hospital for the insane
at Yankton came to the county to es.
cort him to the asylum. But Michigan
outwitted him and disappeared. AS
some of McGuigan's old friends do not
believe his mental condition is such as
to make it necessary for him to be
placed in the asylum it is thought they
may be aiding him to evade capture.
