WOMAN CLAIMS THAT
HUSBAND AND Renter
BEAT HER WITH WHIP
Two Alleged Assailants Under
Arrest-Reason For Action
Not Brought Out.

Bruno. S. D.. May S.-Henry Platt
and G. Baker have been placed under
arrest here on the charge of brutally
whipping Mrs. Platt with a black
snake whip. Baker is a renter on the
SO-acre farm left 10 Mrs. Platt by her
former husband, and on which the
Platt and Baker families have been re
siding. The case is a very unusual one
and promises to be quite sensational.
SO far the local authorities have not
given out the inside reasons for the
ABUSIVE treatment, although it is as
sumed they are advised IN that point.
The woman in the case, who alleges
such brutal treatment, formerly was
the wife OF Knute Erickson, a farmer
living near Bruce. who died about a
year ago. Erickson left his widow so
acres of valuable farm land. She aft
erWard married Henry Plat and the
farm was rented to G. Baker, one Of
the PENDANT in the criminal action,
and Baker and his wife and Platt and
his wit. lived together on the farm.
FOL reasons which yet are a mys-
terry, 1t is charged the two men some
weeks g commenced treating Mrs.
Platt in a brutal manner and finally
commenced whipping her, using a
"blacksnake" whip. 1t is charged that
when examined by physicians in the
presence of the county authorities, her
body was found to be covered with
welts n bruises.
1t is further charged that the two
men on several occasions locked the
woman in a room in the house and
made her a prisoner to prevent her
from running away. Finally she sue
ceeded in making her escape and came
to Bruce.
Great indignation was aroused
among the citizens when she recited
her story of alleged brutal treatment,
and the arrest of her alleged torment
ors soon followed. They We're taken
into custody by the sheriff and remain
In his charge pending their prelim-
mary hearing, being unable to furnish
bonds.

WILL GIVE BOYS CHANGE
TO RAISE THEIR MELONS

Violin. S, D.. May S.-To remove the
temptation of luscious waterneIons
growing within night riding districts,
E. S. Violin, a farmer living near Violin,
has formulated a plan to give the
town boys a chance to raise their own
watermelons, as well as muskmelons
and pumpkins. Violin is noted as a
raiser of watermelons, and each sea-
son for a number of years the town
boys ave raided his patch and har-
vested or destroyed the greater part of
the crop. To remedy this and remov
temptation for further raids he has
offered the boys of Violin an acre of
his land free of charge, IN condition
that they plant it to watermelons,
muskmelons and pumpkins. The only
other requirement is that they take
proper care of the crop. The boys have
not yet accepted the liberal offer, and
now are debating whether melons
which are stolen would taste better
than melons of their own raising.
