Discovers Dead Body
Stuck in Sand Bar.

After period of five months
the where abouts and fate of
Wilfred Gains, a young man
about 90 years of age, has been
learned. His dead body was
discovered last Friday in the
Missouri river stuck in sand
bar about Is miles west of Mo
bridge by William Skinner. who
was fishing at the time. Gains
was last seen in Mobridge
about the middle of February
and nothing was seen or heard
of him until the discovery Fri
day Very little was thought of
his departure i'm February as it
was presumed that he was leav-
ing to take up residence else
where. At the time of his de-
parture from Mobridge, how
ever, it was a known fact that he
had considerable money on his
person. When discovered Fri
day nothing but a jack knife was
found in his pockets.
This leads the authorities to
believe that Gains met wit h foul
play and an investigation has
been started by the states at
torney of Carson county. The
remains of the deceased was
brought to Mobridge for bu, ial.

ANOTHER OLD
SOLDIER CALLED
John Larrabee Answers Taps
Saturday Morning.

Saturday Morning.
Another old soldier answered
the taps last Saturday morning
when the death of John Iarrabee
occurred at the family home in
Sisseton, after an illness of sew
eral months, caused from some
internal trouble.
John Larrabee was born at
Oriskna Falls, N. ", Jan. 19,
1886, and when five years of age
moved with his parents to Prime
ton, Wis, where they resided
until 1862, when they moved to
Minnesota. In 1864, when 1S
years of age, Mr.. Larrabee en-
listed in the 4th Minnesota and
was with Sherman ON his march
to the sea. At the close of the
Civil War he received his honor.
able discharge, and in 1869 was
united in marriage to Miss Lida
Farrell of Minnesota Lake, Mimi.
To this union twelve children
were born, eight of whom are
still living. In 1891 the family
moved to South Dakota and in
1901 moved to Sisseton where
they resided ON a farm for sew
eral years, later moving into
town.
The deceased leaves to mourn
his death his beloved wife, six
sons, William of Peever, Frank,
Fred, Charles, Vern and Howard
of Sisseton, and two daughters,
Mrs. Robert Lowery and Miss
Hattie of Sisseton.
The funeral services we're held
from the M. E. Church Mond ay
afternoon, Rev. Irwin of the
Presbyterian church officiating
and the remains we're laid in the
last resting place IN the family
lot in the Sisseton cemetery.
The poll bearers were Messrs
Pryor, Garfield, Lampke, Strand,
Sheldon and Murray, all mem
bers of the Sisseton G.. A. r. of
which deceased was member.
Having defied the federal
authorities by threatening that
they can remove her from Indian
land only by walking over her
dead body, Mary Stevens, re-
siding near Lake Traverse, or
the Sisseton Indian reservation,
will be forcibly elected if the en-
tire force of the United States
marshal for South Dakota is
necessary in the ejectment pro-
ceedings. In the federal court
at Sioux Falls an order for the
eiectment of the woman from
the Indian land has been signed
and turned over to the United
States marshal for the necessary
action by his deputies. The
United States Marshall was
here last week and gave Mrs
Stevens thirty days to get of
the place. If the family is oust
ed they will be placed under the
care Of the county. For years
the Stevens family have made
their living off this little place
s and are willing to continue do
ing SO if they are left alone
Why wouldn it be a good plar
if the people took the matter in
: hand and paid a lease per yeal
and let the family remain il
peace. We under stand that th,
main trouble is that they re
fused to pay rent.

with the operation out of this

airy hearing Friday and bound over

Fred Sheldon has discovered
new substitute for gasoline for
Ford cars. He says that he ran
out of gas while coming to town
Monday, and as any of the nearby
farmers didn't have any he flied
his tank up with warm milk,
cranked her up and run to town
alright, but when he came to look
at his machine he found four
pounds of butter and two gallons
of buttermilk. Fred has never
been known to tell anything but
true stories, but we believe if he
had used hot air last Monday in
stead of warm milk it wouldn't
have been near as hard OH his
reputation. Rosholt Review.

AHEARN FAILS
TO GET TITLE
FROM M'COY
All Founders Through
Bout with Rolling Gait of
Deep Sea Mariner.
By W. o. MCCLELLAN.

Al Mccoy still retains his humorous
title Of champion, but Young Ahearn
beat him in every round Of the ten 81
the Broadway Sporting Club last night.
Mccoy Aoundered through the bout
with the rolling gait Of deep sea mar
iner. Often ne rocked as though he
were far out on the bounding pillows
when Ahearn blinded him with jabs
and jolted him with right upper cuts.
II Ahearn had not been suffering
from a rush Of timidity TO the head
ever since Mike Gibbons tapped him on
the chin he might have acquired the
title Of middleweight champion; that
would have been ms humorous as Mccoy
retaining it.
But though Ahearn seemed 70 have
the fromagenous title holder in a bad
way early in the game he retained his
discretion. Dan McKetrick urged him
70 bring home the bacon, but Jacob did
not appear eager to comply.
In the third round Ahearn cut Nc
Cows lin. Later he emphasized the
damage with left jabs, but Mccoy kept
foundering onward, smiling crimson
and foolish looking smile. And he
swung with the persistence but hardly
the grace of a windmill.
The crowd greeted each man with
boos. IL was the customary reception
TO Mccoy and his opponents. As the
battle proceeded a voluntary gallery
orchestra whistled dance E.usic.
Mccoy waded in with wilder swings
than Gunboat Smith ever started. One
or two of them graZed Ahearn's chm,
but Jacob ducked with precision. The
only damaging blow Mccoy landed came
in the tenth round. IL was left to
the body and it doubled Jacob up. But
Just as Ahearn began to feel the effect
Of il the bell rang.
Al Mccoy was still the facetlous
middleweight champion, and Brooklyn
ties will attend the Broadway Club
again in the hope of seeing him fiat

unpopularity il you can capitalize IL.
