tom DARE FAILED TO
GET Wish FOR VISIT
HOME BEFORE DEATH
Mysterious Convict Concealed
Identity to Shield His East
ern Mother.

Sioux Falls, s. D., Feb. 5.-MysterS
surrounds the identity OF a man known
as Tom Dare, who nearly five years
ago was placed in the Sioux Falls pen
itentiary, and who died a few days ago.
He was serving an eight-year term for
attempted bank robbery at Deadwood.
To a select few IL was known that the
record name was assumed.
, Enough was ascertained from Dare
during his life time to lead to the con-
clusion that he had a mother living,
and that Boston, Mass, was his nome
before he wandered to the west. He
evidently was the black sheep OF the
family, and his assuming the name OF
Tom Dare was for the purpose OF
shielding his mother from the odium
that might result from crimes he might
commit during his reckless and wasted
life. Therefore, the mother, back
east" Of whom he often spoke, doubt
less never win know that her son dleo
behind prison bars.
Dare attempted to rob the First Ma
tional bank, OF Deadwood, while he was
In an intoxicated condition. His friends
always have maintained that because
of his liquor-befuddled brain he did not
realize what he was doing. The at
tempt was easily frustrated and Dare
was taken into custody. 81 .-fL
Last August he made application Tor
parole, reoittuR that he was suffering
from tuberculosis and could not live
long, but a protest from the Black HIS
caused his application to be denied. To
friends he at the time wrote that ne
wished a parole so that he could make
a last visit to the mother back east

TIME LIMIT REACHED ON
TRIP COUNTY HOMESTEADS

Gregory, s. D., Feb. 5.-The several
hundred homesteaders who have been
perfectinE title to homesteads In the
Rosebud country. many OF whom at
present are temporarily absent for
the purpose OF visiting their former
homes in Iowa, Minnesota, tNebraaka
and other states, win be interested In
notice just given by Register Starcher
and Receiver Burkholder, Of the uni
ted States land office in Gregory, In
reference to the time in which they
must make final proof on their home
steads.
The register. and receiver call atten-
ton to the fact that the statutory per-
Tod allowed In which to submit final
proof upon a homestead entry made
prior to June 6, 1912, Is seven years
from the date OF entry. In the case or
Trip county homestead entries made
In the spring of 1909 the seven year
period will expire this spring. and the
entrymen, therefore, have not much
time left in which to take steps to
make final proof, or they will become
involved in serious difficulty.

PLAIN FACTS ABOUT MEXICO

The country is indebted to former
Secretary of State Knox for clear
and concise statement of facts and
dates relating to the few weeks, in
the early part of 1913, when the Mad
|ero Government in Mexico was being
overthrow and the provisional gov
eminent of Huerta inaugurated.
These statements were made in ref
utation of a recent assertion that
Mr.. Wilson, coming into Office March
in that year, found the Mexican
problem left on his hands by his pre-
decessor, Mr.. Taft. Mr.. Knox. who
was then secretary of state in the
Taft cabinet, said, speaking at a
Grant day banquet in Pittsburg, that
what Mr.. Wilson inherited from Mr..
Taft was an outstanding unanswered
diplomatic request to the provisional
government at Mexico City for definite
assurances of the security of Ameri-
can rights. and the adjustment of
American claims, as preliminary to
consideration of the question of rec
ognition. What Mr.. Wilson did was
to repudiate the policy of his pre-
decessor in this as in all things, and
create situation making the adjust
ment of American rights impossible"

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
BECAUSE OF DEBT
Elkhorn photographer Takes Poison
With Suicidal Intent. Was Found
on Floor of His Studio

Dependency over the pressing de-
mands of creditors is declared to
have led Peter G. Thuesen, photog~
rapher and moving picture show
owner of Elkhorn to make an attempt
on his life Friday morning. Thuesen
took bichloride of mercury and was
writing in pain on his studio floor
when one of the clerks found him at
Il o'clock. He was taken to an At
lantic hospital that afternoon and
there II was said little hope was en-
tentained for his recovery. He was
about 29 years of age.
Thuesen disappeared few days
ago and when he came back Friday
morning he found that creditors had
attached his property. This fact is
thought to have led to his rash deed
and friends say he had frequently de-
clared if he ever found himself in f.
nancial difficulties he would take his
life, as that was the easiest way our
of it.
Thuesen's father and mother live
in Denmark, but an uncle, Chris Boel
lives near Harlan. He had been in
Elk Horn for about two years and
was we'll thought of.

VEGETABLES OF SLOW GROWTH

Truck gardeners are complaining
of the lateness of the season for their

they were selling spinach and other
products of the garden while at least
one of them stated last Saturday that
these garden vegetables had hardly
gained a good start yet this year.
The cold rains and cold weather have
greatly retarded the development of
garden stuff. There has been little
garden product put on the market,
but some of this is grown under glass.
Asparagus and onions from local
growers have been sold, but not SO
