SEEKS STRANGER
Leaves Town with Clothing and jew
elry Valued at Over 500.

Groton, Feb. 2S.-Chief of Police
John Formmel is looking for a
smooth stranger, who came, saw and
conquered, leaving with money
clothing and jewelry valued at over
500. 1t is believed the man is in
the twin cities, and the search is be-
ing conducted in thta direction.
The man appeared here as the ad-
vance man for a minstrel troupe
billed in the next night. The Eastern
star lodge was giving a dance at the
opera house that evening, and the
man asked that be might handle the
check room, stating that he was ex-
p%erienced in such work. He charged
10 cents per check, but this was paid,
as it was thought the proceeds were
going to the lodge. Two days later II
was found that he had pocketed the
proceeds, amounting to about $40.
The next night the show troupe
landed here, but did not play owing
to the small crowd. The members OF
the troupe stopped at the Barnett no
tel and restaurant, and when they
left the advance man went in the OPP
posite direction, taking with him

PUNISHMENT OF INDIANS


Pierre, Feb. 2S.-The question as
to whether, under the United States
statutes, an Indian can be punished
for the crime of adultery committed
on an Indian reservation has been
raised before the United States su-
preme court by A. G. Granger, OF Ma
doka. in the case of United States VS..
Ouivver, a Pine Ridge Indian. me
contention of the defense being that
the United States has no jurisdiction
to punish an Indian for the offense
of adultery committed with another
Indian on a reservation. The gov
eminent was represented in the case
by Assistant Attorney General War
rem. This case will cover a number
of such alleged cffenses committed
on Indian reservations, and the de-
cision will no doubt lay down a rule
which will take the question u OF
uncertainty and make the procedure
plain in any future cases on sueh
charge.

DESERTS FAMILY
Skews Skips for Colorado and Now
County Has Case.

Lead, Feb. 28.-Handing his wife
50. G.. Skews, who during the last
year had been employed in the Home
stake mine in this city. told her she
must shift for herself and children in
future and departed for Colorado.
They have two children, a baby of /
year and a little boy of 4 years.
Since December last Skews had been
drinking heavily at intervals and had
been abusive to his family, neglect
ing to- properly support them. The
final blow came when he handed his
wife the SO and told her he had de-
cided TO leave her forever. 1t is prob
able the county authorities will have
to support herself and children. If
the authorities cared to do so, they
could have Skews brought back to
South Dakota and tried on the charge
Of wife desertion, which under the
state statutes is a ~penitentiary Of
Tense. Another separation of a
unique character is reported. The
principals were a Lead mar and
wife, who, failing to agree longer, de-
cided to go their separate ways.
They sent their children to a chart
table institution, sold their household
goods and then each struck out in a
different direction.

WILSON TO GIVE IN

Berlin, Feb. 28.-Germany counts
upon the American congress to force

chantmen.

The belief is expressed that Presi
dent Wilson does not want congress
to take a hand. fearing that debate
over the question may embitter Amer
lean opposition. The Berlin press,
too, gives expression to this view.
Though reports that a majority in
congress may force President Wilson
to yield to Germany have aroused
hopes for a peaceful settlement the
German attitude toward America is
daily growing more tease. Not only
the public but officials are frankly bit.

but the general belief is that America
misunderstands the negotiations.
