Double Murder Near White River

News reached town Tuesday morn
ing of cold blooded double murder
that was committed about four miles
north of White River Monday night
AS we get the story, it is as follows:
Lewis Fisherman who married a
daughter of George Pony. sometime
about Thanksgiving Day beat up his
wife 80 badly that she was compelled
to go to hospital for a while. Her
husband was arrested and sc ntenced
to about 30 days in Jail for his indis-
cretion. 1t appears that after being
released from jail Fisherman boarded
a train and came to Murdo where he
got rig and drove to the home of
his father-in-law about four miles
north OF White River, arriving there
between nine and ten O'Clock. He
Immediately shot his mother u law
Mrs. Pony and then shot his f.ther-
ln-law. His wife was there but ne did
not harm her but made her STAY with
him until about three O'Clock tia, next
morning when he caught up race
horse owned by his father.in law and
: rode it off. After he left hi- wife
went to White River and told IF the
horrible murder of his parents Up
to the time of going to pres the
murderer had not been appreheuded,
but the officers are making diliyent
search for him.
LATER-We are informed that
Fisherman WAS apprehended at Fort
Pierre and placed under arrest. He
viii! probably be tried for the double
murder al the March term of court.

SAYS SPAIN MUST
 MAKE CHOICE SOON IN GREAT CONFLICT

Paris, Sept. 12.-Spain must decide in favor of one or other of the groups of belligerents in the opinion of An tonic Maura, former premier and lead CT of the conservative party, accord ing to news despatches from Madrid quoting an address delivered by Sen or Maura.
 The address was delivered at Der anga, near Bilbao, at meeting at- tended by 5000 Mauristas The for mer premier declared according to the despatch that Spain could not aban- don her neutrality but that the condi- tions of the war made her isolation henceforth impossible. He is quoted as saying that moreover 1t is essentia that France and England should not be hostile toward Spain.
 The Madrid despatches predict that Senor Maura's speech, will make a strong impression throughout the country as his prestige never was so high as at present. The majority of his followers are supposed to be pro- German in their sympathies.

Legislation For
 Soldier Vote Begins
(Continued on Page 2.)


 soldier electors were present in person to cast their votes in the respective towns in this state where they are reg istered electors.
 'The 50 cent daily wage which the government pays the private soldier affords small margin for the support of those who may be dependent upon him. There are numerous instances where employers continue the salary of the soldiers, some of our soldiers are not thus fortunate, and in such cases, am confident the people of this state will be willing to share in the financial need of the soldier who is employed in serving them. Whether at this special session you will pro- vide for such relief or whether it shall sion-now less than four months dis tant, when complete information may be available, is for you to determine
 'I think it inadvisable to consider any other matters at this special ses- sion" ta
 The convention was dissolved in a few minutes. MT. Peasely offered a votes for soldiers bilP' and had it sent to the judiciary committee. MT. Hewes of Pennington offered an amendment to the first section which would restrict the ballots of soldiers to presidential, vice presidential, sen- atorial and congressional candidates and to no others. This was ordered sent to the committee.
 The Senate received the bill for de- pendency act carrying an ,appropria- ton of not over, s10O,000 from Senator Klett, and sent it to the joint con- mittee on appropriations and military affairs
 Concurrent reference was taken on both bills at hearings set for 2 D. m. A laugh in the House was raised when notice was given of Democratic caucus. Notice was given that mem- bers could get their mileage at the comptroller's office. Both branches re- cessed until D. m.

POULTRY FEATHERS MUCH FAVORED IN ;
 FALL MILLINERY
Dillon & Co.'s Store Dis.
 closes Wide Variety of : Seasonable Models.

That familiar slang expression Some chicken" may now in truth be applied to a fashionably dressed young woman, or to be more exact to her hat. for it appears from the very successful fall millinery opening at D. H. Dillon & Co.'s store at 1105 Main street this morning that chicken and guinea feather hats are to be quite the rage. The very nobbiest of turbans are to be had in natural col ored barred Plymouth Rock feathers. and other varieties of chicken. The most interesting part, too, is that the hats are really very attractive. Then there odis another new hat, appropri- ately called the porcupine. 1t is fash toned from quills so arranged as to form a very good resemblance to that animal. Incidently it is rather doubt fu1 whether this hat will introduce the newer term. of Some Porcupine."
 Hats, however, this year, are very small, medium and large. They favor the military and most of MT. Dil1ons imported hats from Paris. are so un- usually shaped Ias to be almost inde- scribable One model from Mime. Georgette, a handsome Napoleon shape, was fashioned from tete de ne- gre velvet, faced with buff colored Silk inside the upturned brim, and orna- mented with a large flat ornament of buff colored feathers. Another from Mime. Michnieuriez- Cuvee was of black matters plush top brim, faced with black velvet and had a single flat or nament of pleated black grosgrain rib- bon. The shape was militant and handsome. Another very beauti- full model had a very soft crown and brim of black velvet and was faced and lined with a heavy rose co1ored silk, very artistically selected silk flower ornaments in rose color and blue.
 Tete de negre and purple, designated this season as Eminence, are perhaps the leading colors this season in mil Emery. MT. Dillon has hundreds of extremely beautiful creations in these colors from his own workrooms. Many of the hats are embroidered. in silks with flowers and leaves. Much gold
 and silver braid is being used to form app1iqued ornaments, particularly in
 flower effects. There is also a con-
 siderable quantity of fur being used,
 and the peacock aigrette in various
 colors is very popular.
 The tam o'shanter effects in-all colors
 of velvet are still very fashionable and these are often combined with the jockey cap, another popular shape. Many beautiful veils, the very newest of which, the nose veil, of mesh and chiffon are being worn and an excel lent line of these will be found in this store. A handsome display of coats, waists and fur scarves is also a part
 of the Fall opening which will be con- tinued tomorrow and Wednesday.

most important branch of work, which should be encouraged to develop.
 Sanitary Measures.

Sanitary Measures.
 "rhere are number of sanitary conditions requiring immediate atten- tion.
 "1. F'oor Housing Conditions. The work planned by the Housing Com r,ittee of the Chamber of Commerce strikes at the root of the difficulty. In the meantime sanitary measures are being checked up by inspectors, nurses and through other organizations such as ministry. boy scouts, and CIVIC bodies.
 "2. Conditions of the streets. In previous recommendations we adVlseo that hard pavement oe provided TOT many dirty streets. In the meantime the present method of cleaning dlrt streets is inadequate. sufricient force should be provided fer the regu- lar frequent cleaning instead Of the regular infrequent cleaning or art streets.
 a. Disposal of Refuse. Disposal or refuse was covered in a previous re- commendation to the Mayor. Ihe present method is obviously 1nade- uuate and insufficient. Where the disposai of refuse depends upon the efforts of the individuals who take their own time and own means TOT dumping, the result is ir efficieney' poor sanitation and disease. The re- moval of refuse in this large city should be handled by the municipality.
 A. Disposal of Garbage. l believe the removal of garbage in this clty should be done at more frequent Tn tervals. The method of disposing or the garbage is very satisfactory one. The provision of the garbage depart ment for a garbage emergency wagon at the disposal of the health depart ment is a direct and efficient way or taking care of complaint cases
 "5. Slaughter House. The present slaughter house is unsanitary and op- jectionable in every way. Judging from the plans of the new slaughter house this serious condition will snort- ly be eliminated.
 "It is important. I believe to more carefully supervise the slaughter house. The organs and carcus of all Slaughtered animals should be care
