dlers and beautiful women who are
members of the international black
mail syndicate may have to face
charges OF murder, in addition to
those upon which the federal secret
service agents have caused their in
dictment for fleeing wealthy men
and women.
One OF the federal operatives at
work on the case charged yesterday
that the gangsters We're in touch
with the killing of William Turner.
alias Wilson, who himself was a
confidence man, by James Brown,
another member OF the lawless fra
ternity. The scene of the crime was
a summer encampment in Jefferson
county, California, not far from Den
yer, last June. The criminals for
the time had dropped the arduous
labors of their accustomed business
of polite robbery and were enjoying
a vacation.
Turner Held Out $500.
One of their last coups had been
the plucking of Denver man of
wealth by the badger game. Their
victim had been found in a compro-
missing situation with young wo-
man and had paid the "iratc hus-
band" $4,000 as hush money. In the
"payoff" Turner, it is said, held out
$1,000 on Brown.
Brown did not discover that he
had been robbed until several weeks
later. When he learned it he hurried
TO Denver from an Eastern city,
hunted up Turner in the camp of
the blacllmailers and shot him. None
of the other criminals, it is said,
offered to modest or detain him, and
having killed his man, he drove
back to Denver and took a train for

Want Papers Returned.
Counsel for the alleged members
of the syndicate have instituted pro-
ccedings in the federal court before
Judge X. NJ. Lands. in which they
will attempt to deprive the govern
ment of all documentary evidence
against them. The evidence, they
say, was Illegally seized. Judge Lam
dis will announce his decision Fri
iday.
Immediately after postponement
of the preliminary hearing of some
of the prisoners on the blackmail
charge, local government officials
left for Washington, where they
will hold conference with other
department of justice officials con-
corning the prosecutions.
Three of the seven persons under
arrest in connection with the allcg
cd blackmail were released when
federal officials admitted they had
not sufficient evidence to warrant
their further detention. 1t was an
nounced that only those said to have
been implicated in the alleged black
mail of Mrs. Regina Klipper of
Philadelphia will be prosecuted.
They are Edward Donohue, Harry
Russell, Mrs. Helen Evers and James
Christian. The latter has been re-
leased on bail.

NORTHWESTERN
BEHIND SCHEME

BLACK HILLS REG GARDING
EXTENSION ON BELLI.
FOCRCHE LINE.

Belle Fourche, S. D.-That the APP
pearance of the Belle Fourche &
Northwestern railroad. with its an
nounced intention of building from
here northwest into Miles City, Mont,
is in reality the long expected coast
extension of the Chicago & North
western railway from the Black Hills
is receiving much credence through
out the Hills. The incorporation of
the new road, its decision to build
along the old Miles City survey of the
Northwestern and other Information
obtained from reliable sources has
convinced leading men that the Chi
cago & Northwestern is behind the
new move.
Speculation as to the full plans of
the Northwestern is rife. 1t is under
stood from the same authority that
part of the railroads plan is to ex-
tend its present branch from Omaha
which now ends at Winner, in TripI
county. in northwesterly direction
to connect with its Belle Fourche line
| at Newell in Butte county.
This would necessitate crossing
F.! of the Milwaukee's line into RapiC
City and also the Northwestern line
from Pierre into Rapid City, bu
north of that it would open up rap
idly growing dairy and cattle coun
try that its present Rapid City lin,
does not touch. The extension north
west from Belle Fourche to Mile
City also would tap country ricl
in cattle, sheep, and mineral and will
provide the means for the North
western to ultimately reach the Pa
cifc coast through the northwest.

WILL TUTOR INDIANS
IN MODERN FARMING
making campaign tours.

Sioux Falls, S. Din order to
more Systematically teach the Sisse-
TON and Wahpeton Indians on the
Ssseton reservation the rudiments of
modern scientific farming and stock
raising, the territory occupied by the
Indians has just been divided into
four farm districts.
A white agricultural expert will be
placed in charge of each of the four
districts and the Indians of the dis
trict will carry on their farming pur-
suits under the direction of the farm
ing experts. 1t is believed that with
this sort of practical training the
Indians on the reservation will in due
time become as prosperous and as ex-
pert as the most progressive white
farmers of South Dakota.

Berlin Germany. wireless tc
Sayville N. F.)-British and French
losses in the battle of the Somme
have reached 100000 men. the Over.
seas News agency estimates.
Despite what the British refer
to as great victory the result OF
the battle of the Somme shouldd be
gauged by considering the amount
of French and Belgian territory oc-
cupied by the Germans, which
amounts in all to $4,000 square kilo-
meters. OF this $4,000 is Belgian
and 2l 600 French.
The efforts of the British result
ed in the reconquest of only 1900
square kilometers, or 3 per cent
The price paid for this territory is
appalling 1t is conservatively cs-
timgated that the British loss is $780,
600 to September 15. This, togeth-
er with the French losses, brings the
total to about half million men.
