OACOMA BANK HOLDS
FORGED SECURITIES
Bogus Cattle Mortgages Used
to Cover Financial Needs Of
Peter Dirks, Deceased.

Chamberlain. 8. D.. Oct. 7.-As the
Investigation proceeds In the affairs
Of the closed Dirks banks at Oacoma,
a tangled condition Of affairs is dis
closed.
Many forged notes and bogue mort
cages have been found among The al
legged assets Of the bank. Some Of the
forged signatures Of the register Of
deeds, showing on documents never
filed for record, are SO well done that
the register of deeds had difficulty in
separating the bogus and genuine sig
natures.
The examiners claim that Peter
Dirks, in trying to tide owe his
strained financial condition, covered up
for money that he had taken by
executing bogus cattle mortgages and
accompanying notes.
During the last three weeks of his
life Nj. Dirks ate practically nothing
and was constantly under the influence
OF liquor. He knew that he was In q
financial tangle from which he could
not emerge.
In the first references to the death
OF MI. Dirks, a correspondent at Pierre
listed him as vic president OF the
Chamberlain State bank. This vas an
outright error. Mr.. Dirks las had no
connection Of any kind with the Cham
berlain bank for more than a year.

saying that It has bee learned from
q trustworthy source that Ambassador
James w. Gerard, now on his way back
from Germany, will lay before Presi-
dent Wilson q request that the presi-
dent use his good offices in suing for
peace with the allies.
Germany has definitely decided 10
apply to President Wilson," the article
reads, ito use his good offices IN suins
for peace with the allies. This vas
learned today from sources in a posi-
ton to have absolutely Trustworthy m
formation on these matters.
1T In understood h a Ambassador
lines w. Gerard, who Is on his way
over here. will lay the kaiser's re-
quest before President Wilson within
q week. 1t Is q fact, however
positively It may nave been denied ofa
n.ially, that the possibility of Prest-
lent Wilson acting al mediator haA
been discussed by German officials with
Ambassador Gerard. 1t IL therefore BY
no means surprising that the reports
now take definite shape In connection
with Mr.. Gerard's trip to this country"

DoLAND MAN FINED FOR
VIOLATING HOTEL RULES

Vermilion, s. D., Oct. For failing
to operate his hotel in conformity with
the state hotel inspection law, c. M.
Bryant, of Doland, was fined SIS, in
Guiding costs. The complaint was
made by Inspector Prestwick, Of the
state food and drug department, who
made an inspection Of the hotel last
week. ...
An inspection Of this hotel shortly
after Bryant took charge some time
ago showed II TO be in fair condition,
but evidently conditions became worse
rapidly, for the place last week was
found in a bad condition and occupied
by q group Of drunken men. After en-
tering the place and learning the state
of affairs. the inspector enlisted the
mayor, city marshal and members Of
thec city council to assist in q thorough
inspection. This revealed a suit case
containing Is pints Of whisky, which
were seized by the marshal, who also
arrested five OF the men found in the
hotel. The proprietor was out OF town
at the time Of this inspection. War
rant for his arrest was later issued
and he was taken in charge by tho
sheriff of Sphinx county. He employed
an attorney and pleaded not guilty.
Several witnesses were introduced for
the state and the justice found the de-
PENDANT guilty, assessing a fine as
stated.

Stanley, Haakon and jackson.
at War Recently, Now Talk
ing Of Peace Terms.

Philip, s. d., Oct. AFTER more than
year OF wrangling the county commits
eioners OF Stanley, Haakon and Jack
son counties have practically agreed
upon a basis OF settlement of the dis
pute between them. Jackson and Haak-
on counties were formed from the orig.
tnal Stanley county, which thus was di-
vided into three counties. the bone OF
contention being as to what proportion
or the indebtedness of Stanley county
should be assumed by the two nav
counties which were formed from IL.
According to the terms OF the settle
ment which now has been reached the
liabilities OF the old county of Stanley
VIII be apportioned among the three
counties according to their assessed
valuation, except that Stanley county
sha stand the entire expense OF the
trlal OF the now famoCs Sonnenschein
cattle rustling" case. The commission
ers OF the three counties were scheduled
to hold another meeting this week,
when the finishing touches are expected
TO be placed on the agreement adjusting
the financial difficulties OF the three
counties.

DRIVING ALONG IN AUTO

Sioux Falls. s.. D., Oct. 7.-Mystery
surrounds an alleged attempt to kill
Jack Haggerty, q well known farmer
of Roberts county, while he was en-
route to Lake City in his automobile.
He was on the front seat driving the
car and his two daughters were in the
back seal They had just reached the
bottom of a hill when some one, con-
cealed in a clulnp of bushes by the
roadside, fired a shot at Haggerty from
a revolver. The bullet passed through
the side of the top Of the car. 1t Is be-
lieved the bullet was directed at Hag-
gerty, and that the speed of the car
caused the bullet to strike a foot Or
so behind the intended victim. None Of
the occupants Of the car caught wen a
glimpse Of the person who did the
shooting.

which are heated by steam. The mem
bers of the croquet club have arranged

GREAT HORROR OF WAR

Madison, s. D.. Oct. s.-That the sol
diers In the trenches Of the allies In
Inc European wal do not look for an
early termination Of the war is indi-
Gated by statements made in a letter
which Louis Molloy, a Lake county
man, has received from his friend, John
Perfect, who Is fighting with the
entente forces in France. Writing Of
what they have accomplished in the
way of driving the Germans back, he
says:
They have gone back a few miles,
but, with all the guns and shells, it's
a tough job. 1t is a matter Of time, Of
course. but we pray God 1t will not go
through this winter" or other features
or matters at the front he writes:
The Dublin Fusilliers joined us q
month g They have a baspipe band
with them and, believe me, when they
blow on those things 1t makes you want
to die. / have been in the trenches now
Tor II months n have had about
enough OF 1t. There is a great differ
ence 10 in the war to what there was

FIRST BAPTIST ASSOCIATION
ORGANIZED IN LAKE COUNTY

Wentworth. S. D., Oct. THE 35th
annual convention of h Baptists OF
South Dakota, which will be held at
Mitchell, commencing October IL and
continuing until the night Of October
10, will be OF unusual interest to the
older Baptists Of Lake county. This in
terest will be due to the fact that the
Baptist association or church of South
Dakota was organized IS years ago at
q meeting held by a mere handful OF the
members Of the church on the shores
OF Lake Madison. At that time there
entire territory OF Dakota, and each of
these had representatives at the meet
ing. From that humble start the church
organization now has grown to be one
OF the most prosperous In the state, and
comparatively few Of the South Da-
kota cities and towns are without a
Baptist church and a resident pastor. A
stone with a bronze tablet commemor-
ating the organization Of the Baptists
Of the state was dedicated at Lake
Madison Ave years ago., during the 1911
annual gathering of the Baptists Of
South Dakota, held at Lake Madison.
