line talent is h big feature of the
present state convention of the South
Dakota Sunday School association, to-
gether with attendance that is all tina

Niborg. S. D.. May S.-Information

Gated P. c. Fredericksen and Mrs. Jens

Mrs, Thompson left home and eloped
with Fredericksen, who was a neigh
boring farmer, she took her little
daughter with her. The father will en-
deaNor to secure custody of the child,
so she can be brought Jack to the fam
lily home. 1t is probable no effort will
be made to bring the clippers back to
Turner county for trial. as it doubtless
will be left to the courts of Walworth
county to deal with them, they being
subject to a statutory charge for pos
ing as man and wife in that county.

THOUGHT INSANE BECAUSE
OF VIOLENT LOVE MAKING

Aberdeen, S. D., May 5.--A deputy
sheriff has gone to Hecla in response
to an S. .. S. call from residents of that
town who think Charles Phillips, a
young man residing there, is insane.
1t is stated Phillips has been showing
persistent and decidedly unwelcome at
tentions to a young OF that
place, and that he also shows a violent
distaste for the smell of tobacco. When
thwarted by his lady love, or brought
into contact with his pet aversion, he
is accused of using extremely violent
language. So the n%eighbors have con-
cluded the man is insane, both because
of the violence Of his o making and
his hatred for tho filthy weed.

BAN ON SUNDAY BASEBALL

Centerville, S. D., May 6.-The pas

action which it is believed will result
in a ban being placed on Sunday base
ball In Centerville during the present
season. The baseball management last
year promised not to play ball in
Cenlerville any more on Sunday, and
an effort is being mad to rave tho
pledge renewed so it will cover this
season. Those opposed to Sunday
baseball have publicly stated that they
have consulted the states attorney III
reference to the matter, and hat he
stated that the state law prohibiting
Sunday baseball yet was in effect and
that when complaints are made to MIN
he will take steps to have the law en-
forced. In view Of this, it is thought
arrangements a be made whereby
no sunday games will be played hero

PLATTE LINE RESIDENTS
DEMAND SUNDAY TRAIN

Tyndall, S. D., May 6.-That the
Platte line needs a Sunday train has
been the opinion Of people living along
the line for some time. This sentiment
reached a head in a meeting Of the
Tyndall Commercial club last evening.
and a movement was launched to en-
deavor to induce the Milwaukee Of
ficials to establish Sunday passenger
service on this branch. The question
will be taken up with the Commercial
CLUBS OF the towns all along the line
and also with Yankton and Sioux CITY.
1t is said by people who know that
the Platte line is the best paying piece
of road owned by the Milwaukee svs-
TEN, and people depending upon the
trains as a means Of transportation
along this line feel that they are en-
titled to Sunday service, The businass
men also feel that such a train would
increase the business OF the Milwaukee,
enough to Justify the establishment of
this service.

that plood POISONING had set in and he wac
rushed to a Sioux Falls hospital. where
the operation was peg formed which II is
hoped will save his lite.
