Mystery Shots Wound Jaller'. Slayer

Walsenburg. Homer Potts, a form
er deputy sheriff, under $1,000 bond
for shooting and killing John Wright,
former county jailer at this place, was
mysteriously shot twice through the
shoulder at La Veta. 1t is believed
the shooting is in some way associated
with the killing of Wright, Feb. 12, this
year. Potts was armed with Win
chester when he was shot. John
Wright, for the killing of whom Potts
will be tried next month, was shot on
the main street of this city by Potts,
who gave himself up. Wright objected
to Potts paying attention to his 16.
year-old daughter because he was a
married man.

OUTPUT OF TUNGSTEN
OVER 1,5oo TONS MARKETED IN
LAST SIX MONTHS.
Production Of $3,63s,ooo Exceeds that
Of Any Other state in the
Union.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Colorado marketed 1906
tons of ore and concentrates Of tung-
stem, valued at $3.63s.00O. in the first
six months of 1916. The output of this
metal from the mines of this state ex-
ceeded the production of tungsten in
any state of the country during that
period.
These figures, which are taken from
an official report by Frank Hess Of the
United States Geological Survey, are
quoted In a brief which is being pre-
pared by the subcommittee Of the
Colorado Metal Mining Association to
prove the necessity of high tariff on
tungsten to protect the industry not
only in this state, but also In Cali
fornia, Nevada, Arizona and seven
other states in which the metal Is pro-
duced in smaller quantities. The brief
is being prepared by M. B. Tomblin,
deputy state mining commissioner.
AS compared with Colorado's mag
nificent income from tungsten for the
six-month period, California marketed
9S4 tons, valued at $3,0O5,000; Nevada,
461 tons. valued at $1.432,OOO. and Ari-
zona ITS tons. worth $565.O0O. Smaller
quantities were mined In Alaska, Con-
necticut. Idaho. Missouri, New Mexico,
South Dakota, Utah and Washington.
The brief shows how, previous to
1914, the United States was producing
practically one-half Of the tungsten
consumed in the country Imports
were coming from Australia. Portugal,
South America, and later from Burma
The price a unit varied from 81 in
1900, when the first lot of ore was
sold, to $11 per unit in 1907, when the
largest output was made.

SIOUX CITY
SAYS COME
WINTER SHORT COURSE IN MER-
cHANDIslNG SET FOR JANU-
AIRY 81 TO FEBRUARY
NO MOVEMENT IS MORE IMPORTANT
Finest Array Of Talent in United
States Will Discuss Many I'M
portant Problems

The short course of instruction has
spread from the farmers to the mer-
chants.
The Commercial Club of Sioux City,
Iowa, has completed plans for their
second annual Winter Short Course in
Merchandising. The program will
bring to the merchants of Sioux City
territory a dozen, or more, prominent
men who will give first hand informa-
ton on many Of the subjects now him
dering the success of the merchants
over the entire country.
Among the subjects to be treated
will be found, Mail Order House Com
petition" Some New Ideas on Collec-
tons" How to Keep Your profits
Qualities that Make Advertising
Pull" and numerous other vital topics.
A big man, Ralph Starr Butler, asso-
ciate professor of business administra-
ton from the University of Wisconsin,
will talk about selling and buying and
marketing problems. Another big one,
Chas. Simmons, of the Waterloo Press,
will talk on advertising. He believes
that the Lord helps those who help
themselves" but it's his business to
help the fellow who isn't able to help
himself, In other words, he believes
advertising will take the place of the
Lord.
H.. G.. Larimer, a successful clothier,
of Charlton, Iowa, will be on hand to
tell that "a community grows in pro-
portion as its newspapers and business
interests cooperate" He has attract
ed national attention through the orig
inality of his advertising.
"The peddler with a pack on his
back represents 100 per cent. person
atty in business, but it is the mar who
uses all the means at hand and in
creases his power of advertising and
better methods who Is the most sue
cessful merchant" said Mr.. Larimer in
a recent address before the Associated
Advertising Clubs in Chicago.
A similar course, was held last week
at Sioux Falls under the auspices Of
the wholesalers and jobbers and was
pronounced a great success and we'll
attended. Archie M. Peisch, of the
University of South Dakota, discussed
the subjects of location, advertising,
careful buying, and other kindred sub
jects.

PRISONERS TO
HAVE CHANCE
JUDGE SHERWOOD PRESENTS AO-
VANCED IDEAS TO COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS
BUILD UP NOT DESTROY IS THE PLAN
Commissioners Adopt Plan for Moral
and Physical Betterment Of
Criminals

The idea of building up and not de-
thing in the mind of Circuit Judge G.
G. Sherwood, when he submitted to
the county commissioners last week
his list of rules and principles for the
moral and physical betterment of those
who are convinced of crime.
The right to imprison persons is
based upon two fundamental PROPOSE
tons" says Judge Sherwood. First:
The protection of society. Sec
ond: The reformation of the
wrong doer. Keeping these principles
in view and the further well known
facts that %idleness, bad company,
"Reminiscences and bad habits are
among the most fruitful sources of
crime and must be overcome before
reformation can be had" Judge Sher-
wood suggests the following six rules
for the future government of the coun-
ty Jail:
First: All persons under twenty
one years of age shall be kept separate
and apart from older offenders.
Second: The use and possession of
tobacco and cigarettes in any form is
prohibited in the Jail.
Third: All games of every XII Id are
prohibited.
Fourth: Useful and wholesome
books, papers and magazines shall be
furnished the prisoners desiring the
same.
Fifth: Prisoners shall be required
to do their own laundry work and keep
their cells and Jail clean.
sixth: Some useful employment
shall be furnished the prisoners"
An explanation and full text of the
letter of suggestions IS embodied in
the proceedings of the county COM
missioners in another column.
That the plan and suggestions of
Judge Sherwood are good is shown by
the following resolution adopted by
the commissioners:
Resolved, That after carefully read
ing and considering the rules and sug-
g~estions proposed by the Circuit Judge
for the management of our Jail we
heartily approve the same and all
thereof and pledge our full co-opera-
ton in carrying out the same, and re-
quest our County Justices and Munich
pal Judges wherever practical to add
hard labor to all sentences.
Further Resolved, That the judges
letter and these resolutions be spread
on the minutes of the board and the
rules be printed and posted as required
by law" Signed,
Thomas Kidman, Chairman,
c. H.. Davis,
j. l.. Jarvis,
II. G.. HalvorsOn,
County Commissioners.

at present don't reach the mass of peo-
pie. The science of botany in relation
to agriculture should be taught more
in our public schools. 1t is a big prob
lem, and should be met in the average
farm home or public school,"
Mr.. Martin has said: Twenty
acres is all | want to farm. That's
enough land for any man 800 acres is
a misfortune, and $40 acres is a
calamity"
The success of this farmer is meas
ured in a number Of ways. In addition
to the returns received from the yield
of his farm he received over $4,000 in
cash prizes and numerous pieces of
machinery.

DEATH OF RICHARD 3. HEATH

Richard B.. Heath, one of Bookings
county early settlers, who died at
Sioux Falls, S. d., last Sunday, was
buried in the Brookings cemetery
Tuesday afternoon. Rev. M. B. M Inc
conducted the funeral service at the
Baptist church at 3 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon.
A short sketch of Mr.. Heath's life is
given as follows:
Richard B. Heath was born in Gin
ton county, state of New York. Septem-
Der 8, 1882. He died at Sioux Falls, S.
d., January %, 1916. being SO years, a
months and Is days of age at his
death. He was united in marriage to
Miss Eirrisa e. Wead, May %, 1856.
To this union eleven children were
born, of whom nine are still living.
During his early life he served as n
sailor for a period of nineteen years,
during this time making three trips be-
tween Quebec and Liverpool. He
served during the Civil War as a pri-
vate in Company G, 18th Wisconsin
infantry. Also as Private in Company
F, of the 32d Wisconsin infantry. At
the close of the war himself and wife
came to Dakota territory. settling in
Brookings county on a homestead, and
lived there until failing health caused
them to close out their farm and move
to the village of Brookings. In May,
1915, they came to visit their o n in
Sioux Falls. Remaining here he be-
came a member Of Joe Hooker Post G..
A. r. of this city. The funeral was
under their ritual. His good wife. past
78 years remains to mourn his death.
Thus another South Dakota pioneer
has given up the field to younger
hands and a kind husband and good
father and comrade has been laid to
rest.

WHIPS WOMAN

HUSBAND IN PEN BUT HIS AID IN
BRUTAL TREATMENT
GETS OFF EASY
PENALTY FAR TOO LIGHT, IS OPINION
Judge Says, "Have We Come to the
Time When a Feeble Minded Wo-
man Can be Horse Whipped?"

That a fine of 500 is too liGLt for a
man who horse whipped a feeble mind
ed is the opinion of Judge c.
G. Sherwood, of the circuit court.
In the case of Aubrey Baker watch
came before Judge Sherwood in this
city last Thursday Baker was charged
with brutally whipping and otherwise
infiicting bodily injury on Mrs. Jennie
Plat, now an inmate of the state
school for the feeble minded at Red
field, but the jury selected 20 try the
CAGE held tie offense as simple assault
and sentenced Baker to pay a fine Of
500.
The comment by the court scored
the defendant in no uncertain terms.
Judge Sherwood said concerning the
verdict:
THE province of finding the facts
has been entirely in your hands. AS
| instructed you that is your province
and it is not the courts province, but
it is proper for the court 20 say that in
this ease if this man was guilty of any
thing he was guilty of more than sim
pie assault. That is tie view of the
court in this case. 1t is not my pur-
pose to find fault with the verdict Of
a jury, but in my view Of this case a
ynru cnrinr1S Citnot;nn nvicfnI M in
that locality, and whether or not the
condition continues to exist and be-
come more serious the result rests n
tirely with you and not with the court"
In passing sentence the court re-
viewed the facts brought ont in the
testimony of the witnesses for the de-
PENDANT and in closing Judge Sherwood
said:
Nov taking these facts into con-
wife testified upon the witness stand
that she kicked this woman several
times and had called her vile names
it was also or evidence that this wo-
man had attempted to run away sew
eral times and had been brought back,
| want to place it sQuareiy before you,
have we come to the time in this goth
century, when we claim to be christian
people and a civilized people, when a
feeble minded woman can be knocked
down, horse whipped, kicked and made
black and blue, and put in danger of
her life, and certainly her health, when
any civilized mar or woman will know
the facts and not bring it to the at
tentiOn of the authorities.
There vas an occurrence in the
early history of the world where one
brother killed another because the
other brothers sacrifice and acts were
acceptable to Jehovah and his were
not and when God called him to &C
count he said, Am | my brother
keeper That inquiry has been made
very often in this world and we try
sometimes to shield ourselves from
the responsibility to God and hui
mainly.
Taking into consideration the pov
erty of defendant, and that if a jail
sentence was imposed the family
would have to be taken care of by the
county the court fined defendant the
limit of 800 and suspended the Jail
sentence if he paid the fine and violat-
ed no law of the state"

MRS. WILSON AT THE PAN-AMERi
CAN RECEPTION

(By j. T.. Jones)
Brookings Register Bureau. Washington. DC.
Pretty Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, the
second, made her first descent of state
down the marble stairs Of the White
House, ~perceptibly in the thrall of
stage fright, which was human and low
able. Three thousand eyes or so were
d%evouring her from below. One may
not be case hardened in a moment. The
former Mrs. Gait, an u%nassuming wo-
man. in her dual distinctions of bride
and national debutante, found the sitn-
alton at the first plunge, an ordeal.
But she smiled gamely. She always
smiles. even through the pallor of a
cruical crisis.
1t was at the extreme event of the
social season, the initial reception at
the Executive Mansion, always the di-
plomatic reception in the %antebellum
days, but on this occasion, when the
diplomatic foregatherings aren't exact,
ly healthy, the great Pan-American re-
ception. The guests of honor we're the
soft-eyed Spanish speaking delegation
from South America that have been en-
joying unbridled grippe upon Jul hos
pitable shores.
Ten minutes or so before the Obse
quies began. the president himself
came sauntering all unattended down
the royal staircase as casually rs
though he weren't in the least inter
ested in pulling of the biggest and
