Frank Hoffman, who has disappear
ed from Milroy, Mimi, deserving n
bride of a month, formerly was a resi-
dent of Miner county, having resided
in South Dakota for some time. He is
gaining quite a reputation as a biga-
mist, for when he disappeared from

will be held at Rapid City June II to
Is, inclusive, and the cash premiums
paid will be greater than at any former
state tournament. The firemen are
hopeful that they will get the bill
through which increases the annual
appropriation to them for iremen'S
tournaments up to 5000. A bill has
been passed which allows cities and
towns to, by vote, levy a special tax
for the aid Of fire companies, and this
will also give the fire fighters some
recognition
Anton Karamatich, of Lead, one of
four men who took a sensational
plunge in an automobile over a 90-foOt
embankment near Lead about six
months ago, still is in a hopeless con
dition in a Lead hospital, with his
spinal cord severed. Since the acct
dent he has been paralyized from the
waist down, and has absolutely no
control of the muscles below the waist.
Otherwise his physical condition is re-
garded as good, and the hospital ply
sicians say he may live for years. His
friends are arranging to provide him
with a wheel chair, and, as he has the
free use of his arms, he will be able to
propel himself.
