KILLS SELF TO AVOID
TRANSFER TO ASYLUM
l.. u. Hills, Former Lumberman
at Dallas, Fulfills Threat
Made to Relatives.

Dallas, s. D., Nov. 15.-Placed in bed
between two officers, who We're de-
tailed to prevent him from carrying
out an oft repeated threat to end his
life, Loyal D.. Hills, formerly auditor
and manager OF the Smith Lumber
company, watched his custodians fall
asleep, slipped from the room in a
local hotel where he was detained and
hanged himself with q halter rope sus-
pended from an oat barrel at 4:30
O'Clock yesterday morning.
Hills had been in poor health for
some time, and it is thought his mind
was affected. A warrant had been is
sued for his appearance before the in
sanity board. Learning of this, Hills
said he never would go to an asylum.
Hills was found by officers Saturday
night in his home, from which the rest
Of his family had moved. He was
placed in custody by Sheriff Hertz.
Sheriff Hertz and a special deputy &C.
cupied the same bed with Hills In a
hotel here. Tired after an all day
search for Hills through heavy snow,
the officers fell asleep for q short
time, during which the patient escaped
from the room in his underclothes,
went to a nerby stable and, using a
halter rope, jumped from an a barrel.
The body still was warm when dis
covered by tracks in the snow, but a
physician who was summoned pro-
nounced life extinct. Hills threatened
suicide Saturday night and had done
so many times before. The coroner
was summoned, but an inquest was
deemed unnecessary.
Hills came to the Rosebud from
Yankton county. where his mother,
sister and brother reside. He was one
of the most popular young business
men in this vicinity. He was 40 years
old and is survived by his widow and
q son.

WOMAN FARMER SHOWS
GOOD PROFIT IN ALFALFA

Ipswich. s. D.. Nov. 15.-One Of the
most successful Of the women farmers
of South Dakota and the northwest is
Mrs. Ida B. Daniels, who conducts a
farm some miles from Ipswich. She
has just had her alfalfa seed threshed
and finds that she secured 16 bushels
from five acres. At the present mar
ket price. the seed is worth $3.50, sc
the product brought her the record
breaking return Of 500 per acre. The
land on which the seed was raised Is
worth much less than $50 per acre, so
the single crop paid more than the
value Of the land.

RESULTS STILL DOUBTFUL
ON SPECIAL MEASURES

Pierre, 8. D.. Nov. 11.-Only about
one-half the voters balloting on presi-
dent voted on the woman suffrage
amendment, the votes on this question
being only about 10000. The returns
show n majority against suffrage.
The good roads amendment has car
ried strong. The constitutional con-
vention proposal may prove to have
been beaten. a strong vote having been
cast in opposition. The same Is true
of the taxation and finance amendment
The Richards primary law received
q majority vote In Minnehaha county,
There is q possibility that this meas
ure may have received q majority Of
the votes cast upon II in the state at
large. Returns on the other proposed
laws and proposed amendments yet are
two meager to indicate the fate Of the
measures.
