Bauch Acquitted Of Murder Ch.re.

Raymond Bauch, charged with
the murder of his father, was ac-
quilted i'm district court at Forman

a short time. The fact of the kill
ing was undisputed. Young Bauch
still in his teens, wrested a revol-
yer from the hands of his parent,
and III the struggle the elder man
was shot several times, dying with
i'll a few moments.
A divorce was pending between
MIR. and Mrs. Bauch at the time.
and the husband had made numer-
ous threats. He was rather dis
solute, we'll known over the county
as horse doctor. He was a heavy
drinker and the diverse was based
OH the grounds of i'll treatment
and non support. The shooting
occurred within few days of the
time the diverse case was to come
OH for trial. The elder Bauch cal
led at the house where his wife
was staying with friends and asked
to see her. He was armed with
an automatic revolver and was evi
IDENTIFY bent on troubles. The son
was present, and when he thought
the father intended to carry out
some of his threats he grappled
with him for the possession Of the
gun, resulting as above set forth.

BIa.. To Clear Road.

The Great Northern Railroad
made various futile attempts to
clear its tracks Of snow between
Sioux Falls and Yankton with
snowplows, aud finally was COM
PEELED to resort to blasting. The
drifts are reported to be all the
way from six to twenty feet deep
in the cuts and packed so hard
that a team of horses can be driven
over it without breaking through
the heavy crust. The heavily
packed snow finally was loosened
by means of black powder aud then
shoveled away from the track.
Great difficulty also was experience
ed in clearing the tracks of the
Watertown and Sioux Falls rail-
way from Sioux Falls to Water
town because of the great depth Of
the snow in cuts and its unusually
solid condition.

May Change Route Of King o
Trails"

Trails
IL will be remembered that
last fall three leading citizens of
Kansas passed thru here map
ping out a route for the King of
Trails" a new automobile rout..
running from Galveston. Texas
to Winnipeg. The former trail
known as the Gulf to Winnipeg
route. was unsatisfactory be-
cause political pull and selfish
local interests had diverted it
from one point to another until
it was as crooked as q snakes
trail and the people interested
i'm the new movements were anx-
ious for ii more direct route as
near as possible an air line from
the Gulf to Winnipeg. For this
reason the gentlemen travelled
without advertising and without
noise. selecting what was in
their judgment the shortest and
most practical route. They
chose a route straight north
from Sioux Falls to Milbank
thence east to Ortonville and
from that point direct north to
Winnipeg and it was presumed
that their choice was final until
a few days ago when Z. o. Safer
bak, president of the CONNER
cial Club, received notification
that Watertown people had ~
gain butted in and were attempt.
ing to divert the route so as to
bring it to that city, to continue
4 north thru Sisseton and swing
back to the chosen route again
at White Rock. This is the
route of the old Gulf to Winnipeg
trail that was deemed unsatis-
factory, but the officers of the
new King of Trails deemed it
necessary for this territory to
make showing of it's advanta-
ges at the meeting of the nat=
ional association and suggested
THAT the towns interested get
together, prepare a statement of
