General Caldwell for an opinion as to
whether or not the new workmen's
compensation law which will go into

it is entirely clear that neither the

sobriquet of Colonel Thatcher is I'M

In that city while authorities are in
v%estigating his status in quo as q
Prussian spy, has caused no little
comment in Vermilion.
The colonel has been looked upon
by South Dakotans as a harmless
eccentric whose hobby is good roads.

tinental highway. He worked hard
and faithfully for this project, appar-
emily without compensation from any
visible source, although he always
seemed well supplied with h neces-
sary funds to travel from plac. to

The fact that the wandering "col-
onel" had concealed on his person a
number Of maps which he is. said to
guard with jealous care, lends cred
snce to the charge by government
agents that he is a spy.
