GIRL DISAPPEARS
FRIENDS FEAR MISS KATIE
GROSS MAY HAVE BEEN
KIDNAPPED.

Hitchcock, July 5.-Friends here
have become alarmed by the appar-
ent mysterious disappearance of Miss
Katie Gross, a former Hitchcock girl.
No word has been received from her
for more than a month. After leav-
ing Hitchcock she located at Redfield
and left there over a month ago for
Sioux Falls, where she intended en-
tering a hospital. But she ever did
so, writing her father from Sioux
Falls that she had changed her mind
and was going to a hospital at st.
Paul, Mimi, instead. Since that time
nothing has been heard from her and
1t Is feared something serious has
happened her. Up to the time of
writing the letter from Sioux Falls
she had been very regular in her cor
respondence, and the fact that she
has not written since that time adds
to the fear of relatives that she has
been the victim of an accident or
may have been kidnapped by white
slavers.

from Nebraska, where the harvest
has been finished in the southern
part, in order to be early for the
work here"
The class of men seems to be above
the average and they are looking for
jobs which will be steady. Farmers
are paying their regular men from
$65 to SIS per month with board and
room, and the prevailing harvest
wages will be from $3.50 to $3.50
per day.
Mr.. Kennard is listing the men as
they come in and passing their names
on to the farmers In this county and
county agents in other counties. In
this way the labor situation in each
county will be handled satisfactorily
to farmers and the men desiring to
assist with the harvest. 1t looks now
as though South Dakota farms will
be able to secur plenty of competent
help.

man took an American flag from the

and Anderson were riding. tore 1t
and threw Ii into the road. This was
done in the presence of the captain
of the home guard and a number of
his men, following the removal by
the home guard of a Nonpartisan
league banner from the other side of
the car.
Resenting the insult to the flag.
the captain Of the guard ordered his
men to catch the offenders, who left
town at top speed in their automo-
bile. The home guard obtained autos
and started in pursuit. The pursuit
took them to Peever, Sisseton,
Browns Valley, Mimi, and then back
again to the South Dakota side of the
boundary line, and finally to the
homes of the two young men east of
Wilmot, where they were captured.
They were taken before the Roberts
county council of defense for a hear
ing, and finally were released on
parole, one of the conditions of the
parole being that they must report at
stated intervals to the captain of the
home guard company. 1t is possible
that the case may be reported to the
federal authorities. The chase was
one of the most spectacular yer stag
ed in South Dakota and was seen by
hundreds along the route of the pur-
suit, which extended nor than SO
miles.
Horstman was the owner of the
car in which he and Anderson en-
deavored to escape. All speed rec
ords were broken by the automobiles
as they dashed through the streets
Of the towns and along the country
highways.

tiles committed against the civil pop
ulation of the invaded districts is
shown in a story told in a letter re-
ceived here from Rollo Grover, a for
mer Huron boy now with the Amer
lean expeditionary force in France.
There is a Frenchman l see every
day" Growers letter says, who was
captured by the boches. He cannot
talk because they cut out the vocal
cords in his neck. His right hand is
cut off at the wrist. He has told me
how they stretched him out spread
eagle on a wheel and then let him go
round with it and he shows me where
his head was cracked open and his
legs smashed. He was at one time a
powerfully built man, but now is a
physical wreck. How God can let
things go on like that and how men
can stand and hold their pocketbook
