LOST SETTER

Some unprincipled reprobate,
with neither the fear Of the law nor
the hope Of reward Of honesty be
fore his eyes, the day before the
game law expired coaxed or carried
away George Rix's hunting dog.
The dog was not only a trained
setter, which makes it particularly
annoying to have him disappear
just at the time that prairie
chickens are ripe, but he had for a
long time enjoyed the hospitality Of
the Rix family, and had grown
up a very tender feeling Of friend
ship between the dog and his
master, SO that there is a
genuine feeling Of loss in his dis
appearance. George says that there
must be more brotherly love ia
that dog than there is in the man
who stole him.

Consolidated April II 1890

Now as to the sense Of the scheme
provided 1t Is CARED out as these
fellows promise. South Dakota has
primary law and the farmers have
good majority of the votes. they
can elect whom they please at any
time. 50 far as legislation goes,
they can get that, for the farmers
are always in the majority in the
legislature. At SIG per head. if
south Dakota had as many members
OF the League as they claim in
North Dakota, 10000. it would
give campaigan fund Of $40, 900.
4 sum ten times enough to
thoroughly organize the state. So
1ar as our recollection goes the
farmers of South Dakota have never
yet asked for legislation and been
refused. The statute books are
full Of laws for farmers which
are never used. 1t seems a curious
thing that bunch Of strangers can
go out in the country any time and
pick up lot of notes or cash on
any Old scheme and without any
investigation when if such pro-
position as we stated in the begin
nlng or any real tangible plan for
good IS promoted by men who are
known or whose reputation is be-
yond question, the farmer will
look at them suspiciously or. refuse
to listen.

GOOD FOR BAD YEAR

Mr.. D. DeFrees, whose farm is
up towards Hartford Beach, was in
town last Saturday and reported
that his corn crop was we'll out of
danger of frost. He says that his
Marcus wheat yielded him about
9 bushels to the acre but the Velvet
Chaff only about 3 bushels. A
2l acre field of oats yielded It'll
bushels about SIS bushels, and
his barley about 25 bushels to
the acre in a Is acre field. Mr..
DeFrees has recently invented and
applied for patent for an automatic
marker for corn planting.

COAST TO COAST RUN

In the coast to coast relay auto
dash over the Yellowstone Trail
from Plymouth, Mass, to Seattle,
Wash., which is to be completed Ia
a run of l2O hours, the first car
left Plymouth at noon on Sept. IL,
with a war department message.
The relay reached Ortonville at
1l:24 p. m. yesterday, passed
through Milbank at 1906, or 40
min utes ahead Of schedule time.
Passed Summit at 2:32 and reached
Webster at Ais and Aberdeen at
GIG.
A heavy down pour of rain came
on before dark and the roads both
east and west of Milbank were in
the worst possible condition from
the mud and the steadily falling
rain.
The run from Ortonville to
Webster was made with Emil
Ostlind as driver in a Haynes Spe-
cial followed by O. A. Ostlind and
l.. M. kaercher in REQ. The first
car we understand got stalled in
the mud near Marvin and the Sc
cond car carried the message
through.
The road west of Aberdeen was.
said to be in good shape as the
rain storm had not extended west OF
that city and it is believed a gain
can be made on schedule time in
that district.

1000 miles from the sea. Professor
Jordan lays special stress on the value
of these ice-cold mountain streams to
the salmon industry of the nation.
Among the wild animals to be found
in this section are the mountain sheep
and goat, elk, moose, antelope, deer
and bear, including the s:lvertip, the
cinnamon, the brown and the grizzly.
The preservation of the fish, birds and
animals is one of the considerations
leading to the creation of Idaho ma
tional park.
Much of the land to be included in
this new national park is now included
in forest reserves. Forest rangers have
already done much in the way OF con-
structing roads and trails. They have
their stations we'll scattered through
out the territory with telephones here
and there, so that the tourist, even
when completely swallowed up in this
wilderness, is never far out of reach OF
civilization.
All western states are just now put
ting forth tremendous exertions in the
way of building good roads. The auto
mobile tourist has come to be an i'm
portant factor in the development OF
the country. Idaho is not behind her
sister states of the West in this mat,
ter. Good work has already been done
on an automobile road to connect Vel,
lowstone park with Idaho national
park, and on another scenic highway
leading from the Idaho national park
into Boise, the capital of the state
This last link is to be IS miles In
length, much of the way along the

On June "a, 1S45, Ruloff went to
neighbor and borrowed a horse and
wagon. The neighbor helped him to lift
a large box into the wagon, and he
drove away. He journeyed to Ithaca,
which town he reached at sundown,
and spent several hours in a tavern
holding wassail with sundry loafers.
He seemed boisterously happy, and the
loafers declared him a prince OF en-
tertainers. Altar a while he paid his
score, hitched up his horse again, and
drove to Lake Cayuga. There he Sc
cured a boat, and rowed away with
the long box aboard.
The next morning he drove cheerily
back to his home, and when the neigh
bors asked where his wife was, he told
them she had gone to Ohio on visit.
This satisfied the neighbors. but 1t
didn't satisfy Ruloff's brother-in-law.
who began an investigation, with the
result that Ruloff was arrested,
charged with the murder OF his wife.
The body of the victim corld not be
found, SO he was tried and convicted
on a charge of abduction, and SEN
fenced to ten years in the penitentiary.
He was a good prisoner, and all his
spare time was gwen to study.
Immediately upon his release he was
rearrested, charged with murder, but
he made such an eloquent speech in
his own defense that he was acquitted.
But the people didn't want this man at
large. They considered him monster,
and as dangerous as rattlesnake. So
ne was again arrested, charged with
the murder of his own child. He was
convicted and sentenced to be hanged.
After his conviction he made a sue
cessful effort to gain the admiration
and confidence of the jailer's son, a
youth named Jarvis. He told great
stories of buried treasures to such
good effect that young Jarvis helped
him to escape, and the two reached the
mountains of Pennsylvania, where
they led a yagabond life for year.
Then, Ruloff, tired of being fugitive,

dered to the authorities, and, by means
of some legal twists, managed to re.
gain his liberty after while. This
made the people so peevish that a
lynching party called at the Jail, but
Rulof had disappeared.
His subsequent career for several
years was a compound of study and vii
lainy. Sometimes he worked at his
great treatise, and at other times he
indulged in grand and petty larceny

this country, but he had nothing OF the
kind. He was born without a con-
science, and crime was to him at once
a vocation and a recreation.
As boy he worked in New Bruins
wick drug store and stole things as he
needed them. Later he studied law
and refreshed himself by various
small crimes during his leisure hours.
For one of these he was sent to prison
for two years, and while locked up he
read everything in the prison library.
After his release he went to New York
state, and located in the small town OF
Dryden. There he became a teacher
in a school for girls, and married one
of his pupils, a girl of sixteen years.
w. H. Schutt, relative of the girl,
made a fuss over it, and this annoyed
Ruloff greatly, so, to be revenged, he
poisoned Schutt's wife and child. This
crime was not suspected at the time,
and 1t was only after several years
that the facts were known. In his
home he was a tyrant and bully, and

Meanwhile he began work upon a
book that was to be his masterpiece,
and make his name immortal. It was
a treatise on philology, and scholars
who examined fragments Of his manu-
scripts long afterward, declared that
the erudition Of the author was simply
astonishing. His wife wasn't in sym

The fame of Eugene Aram, such as

death was a comparatively recent mat

was no Hood to embalm him in song,
and no Bulwer to make him the CEN
trail character of a novel; other muir
derers came forward and did their de-
voir, and Ruloff's memory died the
death.
This remarkable man was born in
New Brunswick in 1919 and was a
bookworm from earliest childhood.
His thirst for knowledge amounted to
a passion. He Tapped up information
as eagerly as a warm dog laps up wa

best Of It when one Of the robbers
drew q gun and fired, and one Of the
clerks fell, mortally wounded. The
robbers escaped for the time, but a
day or two later q stranger was found
limping along the road, and was gath
cred in. He was soon identified as Ru-
LON, whose fame was everywhere in
those days. Ruloff felt reasonably safe,
for his comrades couldn't turn states
evidence. He had seen to that. A few
days later their bodies were found in
the river. One Of them was Jarvis.
Rulon had a deformed foot, and one
of the shoes found in the store was
made to fit that foot, 30 his connection
with the crime was established well
enough. He was his own attorney at
his trial, and the speech he made was
a wonderful effort. It was much like
that Of Eugene Aram; In fact, he
quoted Aram to some extent, saying
that his days were given to honest toll
and his nights to arduous study. His
argument was along the line that So

completion, and II the world was
robbed of that monumental volume, 1t
would be the greatest catastrophe Of
modern times.
The Jury decided. however, that so
ciety would be able to struggle along
without 1t, and found Rulon guilty. He
was sentenced to death. and went to
the scaffold protesting that civilization
was doing itself an irreparable injury.
An eminent scientist examined his
brain, and announced that Rulof was
by nature a thief and murderer, no
more responsible for his acts than a
tiger, and no more deserving Of pity.
Only the high places in his criminal
career have been touched In this &C
count. A complete story would make
book as large as his own volume on
philology.
