WIRE WALKER INSANE
BY WOMEN'S CHARGES
Tries to Hang Self In Cell at
Brookings-Two Accused
Him of Soliciting.

Brookings. S. D.. May 3.-Harvey L.
Campbell, alias Billie 1-ateI, a wire
walker who was appearing in vaudeville
acts in a Brookings theater, is now in
the Brookings county Jail, insane, as
the outcome of sensational charges
made against him by two women. Mrs.
Bessie Campbell, said to be the wire
walkers wife, was arrested for Vag-
rancy, and was fined $40 and sentenced
to 10 days in Jail. Then her husband
was arrested for soliciting, and in de-
fault of $500 bonds, was placed in the
county Jail to await trial. Later II was
charged that Campbell had Travelled In
other parts Of the country with differ
ent women, soliciting for them, for i'm
moral purposes, and a young woman
was brought from Minnesota who said
she had travelled with Campbell, who
had promised to make her his wife. A
third young woman connected with the
man Is said to be in Sioux Falls. The
next night after CampbelIs arrest, fel-
low prisoners told the sheriff they
feared something was wrong in Camp
bells cell and when the officer reached
the cell he found Campbell hanging
strips. He was nearly dead, and was
revived with much difficulty. Upon
recovery from his attempt at suicide,
the discovery was made that Campbell
had become violently insane. He Is be-
ing held, pending the examination OF
the county board OF insanity as to his
condition. A federal officer has also
been sent for, to investigate Campbells
past record, and he may be held on a
white slave charge II he RECEIVERS his
mental faculties.

NEW COUNTY OF JACKSON TO
PUSH GOOD ROADS CAMPAIGN

Kadoka, S. D., May 1.-The people
CT Jackson county are very much alive
to the value Of good roads. A move
ment 10 now on foot to build a turn
pike across Jackson county from SIAM
ford on the east to interior on the west,
a distance OF about IS miles. The town
OF Kadoka started the ball rolling" by
turnpiking the one and a half miles of
the Scenic highway within its corporate
limits last year. Wall township has
recently laid out a new road across the
entire width Of the township lying
along the south side Of the Milwaukee
track. Weta township has selected a
route to join the Wall township line
and making a direct route from Kado-
ka to Weta. Weta township and inter
Tor townships will no doubt be able to
open a new short line between their
respective towns this summer. Belvi-
dere township is alive on the east and
expects to open a short line between
there and Kadoka. A strong effort is
being made to have Kadoka township
grade and turnpike the line from the
town limits to the Belvidere township
line. without doubt this line will be
very much improved and a large part
Of 1t graded in good shape before fall.
Part Of the route IS already marked
and the balance will be attended to in
the near future.

MISSOURI RIVER CUTS
INTO FARMS NEAR WAKONDA

Wakonda. S. D.. May 3.-High wat
er in the Missouri river is playing
havoc with some Of the land on the
Charrlin and Erickson farms, some
miles from here. The high water has
been cutting very badly all along the
line, and many acres of valuable farm
land has thus far dropped into the Big
Muddy. For several days Julius Char
lin has been busy moving his farm
buildings to a point about so rods
northeast of their former location. 1t
now is feared that all of the timber in
Guiding large ash, elm, box elder and
cottonwood trees, on the Charrlin farm
will be carried away by the river. Hun
dreds of cords Of wood are falling into
the river simply because woodchoppers
cannot be secured to take care Of the
fuel Every effort has been made
with such means as were at hand to
stop the cutting Of the banks Of the
river, but these efforts have been I'M
successful.

Dakotan. was the first definite infor-
nation that he had lived to serve out
his time with the British artillery on
the western line in Belgium and north
ern France. He was one Of the first to
60 to the front. A few months ago he
wrote his friends in South Dakota that

ing been killed during the II months

POLICY EIONERATED
OF KIRBY'S CHARGES
Not Shown That Accused Jus
tice Even Received Money
For Campaign Funds.

Pierre, S. D., April 29-The referees
in the disbarment case against Justice
S. G. Policy, of The South Dakota su-
preme court, clu led the hearing last
night and promptly decided that no
cause Of action had been presented.
This report will be made to the SUI
preme court, Mr.. Policy not sitting. and
undoubtedly will be promptly affirmed
by that body.
The charges had been that Mr.. Policy,
when secretary OF state, had received
a gratuity Of 500 from Will Bailey of
Pierre, for an appointment given to
the latter. When the case was heard
yesterday, the prosecution tried to add
three new charges, only one of which
the referees considered had any ele-
ments making 1t pertinent In this pro-
ceeding. 1t also was refused considera-
ton since the referees decided no evil
dence had been given showing the main
charge was substantiated. This new
charge was that in 1901 Policy, as
states attorney Of Lawrence county,
had dismissed suit when the parties
he had brought II against made him a
present OF set OF books.
X. o. Richards when called as wit
ness made his discussion partly politi-
cal. The case was brought by Joe
Kirby, OF Sioux Falls, based upon let
ters from Policy to Richards, and fur
nished to Kirby by Richards.
Bailey testified that at the solicita-
ton OF o. s.. Basford he paid a cam
paign assessment Of $50 to J. L. Wing
neld' but never any amount to Policy.
No other testimony as to payments was
produced.
Attorney Kirby, complainant in this
case, has been somewhat "crosswise,"
at the supreme court. Last fall he was
cited for contempt and for disbarment
The disbarment charge was dropped,
but he was assessed $500 on the con-
tempt charge, This grew out Of criti-
cisms made by him OF the supreme
court members in an interview given
to q Pierre newspaper.

DANFoRTh ACTION JUST
DEMAND FOR ENUMERATION

Sioux Falls, S. D., April 29.-It is
seldom that an attorney demands an
investigation OF his professional acts,
but such is the case with reference to
George J. Danforth, an attorney OF
Sioux Falls. Last winter the son of a
former client of Mr.. Danforth, laboring
under a Interpretation of the facts,
filed a complaint with the state su-
preme court against Mr.. Danforth. Sub
sequently the man who filed the COM
plant filed an affidavit withdrawing
the charges and completely generating
Mr.. Danforth. However not satisfied
with this, Mr. Danforth recently de-
manded that the matter be fully inves-
tigated so he could be legally cleared
from all reflections on him as an at
torney, and the supreme court now has
appointed Philo Hall, OF Bookings, for.
mer congressman from South Oak ota,
to act as referee In the investigation
demanded by Attorney Danforth.

The Japanese have many curious SUI

The Japanese have many curious SUI
perstitutions about animals, the chief
among which is their belief in the SUI
pernatural power of foxes. There are
numberless shrines dedicated to foxes
in Japan. The badger is another ami
NAL feared by the superstitiOus Japan
csc mind. 1t is believed to have power
to annoy people, and to be able to turn
into a priset at will The crying Of
weasles and the baying of dogs are re-
garded as evil omens, and such insig-
nificant happenings send a shudder
over the believers. In Japan a light
colored mouse in the house is a sign
of happiness. II a spider falls from the
ceiling at night it is thought to be I'M
lucky. To see a centipede at night
means happiness in Japan.
