Sioux Falls. July 27.-On Friday
evening. July IA. Policeman Pike, to
gether with Night Captain Johnston
and Detective Ross took into custody
Il man and a woman who gave their
names as Frank Reiszner and wife,
of Sioux City, la. They were held
that night for investigation and the
following morning were arraigned on
a charge of using and occupying
rooms at 337 North Phillips avenue
for immoral purposes. At the trial
the woman gave her name as Cora
Miller. They were each found guilty
and fined SIS or twenty days in jail,
and have since been serving their
time. Later it developed that the
woman was the wife of a Sioux City
attorney and the man was a former
bartender from the same place. An
investigation was started, of which

lowing to say
Frank Rizner, a former Sioux
City bartender and father of two
children. who was arrested at Sioux
Falls in company with Mrs. Cora
Schaefer, wife of Anthony Schaefer,
2009 Hamilton street, probably will
be charged with violating the Mann
white slave act, according 10 George
f. Softer, special Investigator, who
returned to Sioux Falls today to con
tinue his investigation of the case.
Softer asserted hal he had evi-
dence pertaining to show that Rizner
induced Mrs. Schaefer to leave her
husband and come to Sioux Falls 10
meet him.
"Rizner, the federal investigator
said, had deserted his wife and chill
dren here and had gone 10 Sioux
Falls to obtain employment. Later
it was learned that Mrs. Schaefer
had gone to Sioux Falls. presumably
to visit Rizner, and the police of the
Dakota city were notified. They
kept RiZner and Mrs. Schaefer under
surveillance for a couple of days and
then caused their arrest.
Mrs. Rizner, who lives at River
side park, has served notice on her
husband that she will begin suit for
a divorce at the September term of
court. She will charge cruel and in
human treatment, Ii was said"

Although only two cases of sick

few weeks is having lis effect on a
number OF small children, physicians
report.
Cholera infantum, a malady COM
mon among the little folks during
extremely hot weather, caused the
death yesterday morning OF Harold
Joseph. the little son of Walter Ven
ner. An S-%month-old child in the
same family is suffering from the
same disease and is in a critical con
dition.

valent amog small children during
the summer months are t|raceable to

food and, sometimes. o~yerdrinking
1t is predicted that if flies We're more
numerous. sickness among infants
probably would be increased. The
unusual cool summer of last year is
advanced as one reason for the com
parative scarcity Of the house fly
this summer.
Today was the hottest day in Mad
ison since 1914. Thermometers in
the city y%ariously indicated a tenn
perature of from SO to los degrees
above zero in the shade.
No relief from the heat is promised
by the government weather bureau in
this section, although il is predicted
that il will be cooler tomorrow in
the western part of the state.

the shadow Of Death together Sunday.
Mr.. Moser died at five O'Clock ON the
Sabbath morning and his lifelong
partner and help-mate followed him to
the other shore al nine O'Clock that
evening Had their wishes been con
suited, il is probable that death came
to this aged pair just AS they would
have had it come. After life time OF
love and devotion, they went to their
reward together.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Moser had been
ia very feeble health for some time
and their deaths were not unexpected
TO their large family and their loved
ones. Mr.. Moser was born in Febru-
airy, 1884, and his wife January /,
1870, making him 81 years old and her
76. Both We're born in TINS county and
