SHOT FIRED At FARMER
DRIVING ALONG IN AUTO

Sioux Falls. S. D., Oct. 7.-Mystery
surrounds an alleged attempt to kill
Jack Haggerty. a well known farmer
OF Roberts county, while he was en-
route to Lake City in his automobile.
He was on the front seat driving the
ear and his two daughters We're in the
back seat. They had just reached the
bottom of a hill when some one, con-
cealed in a clu1np of bushes by the
roadside, fired a shot at Haggerty from
q revolver. The bullet passed through
the side of the top of the car. 1t is be-
lieved the bullet was directed at Rag
gerty, and that the speed of the car
caused the bullet to strike a foot or
so behind the intended victim. None Of
the occupants Of the car caught even a
glimpse of the person who did the
shooting.

SOUTH DAKOTA

owing to the great Increase IN r>
price of gasoline all over the world subj
ttitutes are springing up everywhere
IN England, where the cost at running
p ca is rapidly becoming prohibitive.
n tendency seems to be toward heavy
fuels which appear to give good re,
suits, and work well after the engine
has been well warmed up by running
FOR a few minutes ON gasoline. While
this is undoubtedly now regarded as q
temporary experiment, desirable per-
tnanent results will probably follow
from the experience gained in the usd
of eayier fuels.

OAC0MA BANK HOLDS
FORGED SECURITIES
Bogus Cattle Mortgages Used
to Cover Financial Needs Of
Peter Dirks, Deceased.

Chamberlain. S. D.. Oct. 7.-As the
investigation proceeds in the affairs
Of the closed Dirks banks at Oacoma,
a tangled condition of affairs is dis
closed.
Many forged notes and bogue mort
cages have been found among the al
eyed assets of the bank. Some of the
forged signatures Of the register. of
deeds, showing on documents never
filed for record, are so we'll done that
the register of deeds had difficulty in
separating the bogus and genuine sig
natures.
h examiners claim tina Peter
Dirks, in trying to tide over his
strained financial condition, covered up
for money that he had taken by
executing bogus cattle mortgages and
accompanying notes.
During the last three weeks Of his
life Mr.. Dirks ate practically nothing
n was constantly under the influence
OF liquor. He knew that he was in a
financial tangle from which he could
not emerge.
In the first references to the death
OF Mr.. Dirks, a correspondent at Pierre
listed him as vice president of the
Chamberlain State bank. This was an
outright error. Mr.. Dirks has had nc
connection Of any kind with the Cham
oeflaln bank for more than a year.
