fore kilograms were sent to all the

some Of the kilograms will not be de-
livered in time for the men to reach
Fort Yates, but it is hoped that no.
tice will reach them so all the men

at Mclaughlin.
The list of the men called was
published in the Pioneer last week,

county. When the next draft will

pected that Sioux county will re-

F. E.. Turner Arrested
Again---For Gun-Play
Pulls Gun on Geo. Vstter and is Again
In Tolls Of Law-Pinched-C Change
of fVsnue-Etc-Nothin'New

F. G. Turner Of the IA ranch in
the Barren Butte neighborhood was
arrested last Friday by Deputy Sher.
if Jake Jordan on warrant issued
some time ago on complaint of Geo.
Vetter who alleges that Turner
threatened his life with gun.
The warrant was made ieturnable
before Justice of the Peace R. B.
Mcdonald at Solen Saturday. But
before going to Solen, Turner made
it known to the states attorney,
who was in Fort Yates where Tur.
ner was brought, that he wanted to
take a change Of venue to Justice
Berg Of Fort Yates. Nothing, how
ever, was done to dismiss the case
started before Mcdonald and Tur-
ner, accompanied by Jordan and
the states' attorney went to Solen
Saturday morning.
Upon filing affidavit Of prejudice
by Turner, Justice Mel Donald grant
ed change Of venue to Justice. Berg
at Fort Yates, returnable on April
list, and Turner was brought back
to Fort Yates in charge of the de-
putty sheriff and turned over to
Sheriff Mclaughlin.
As Turner is under bond in an
other case Sheriff Mclaughlin turn
ed him loose on his own recognizance
until April 1st.
Having the sheriff drag this man
Turner all over the county from one
Justice to another is getting a bit
tiresome and expensive to the tax
payers Of the county, and it is to be
hoped that this case will be finally
disposed of without more expense
than is necessary. Of course, jus.
tice must prevail, and having bad
men running through the country
making gun-plays against peaceable
citizens cannot be tolerated, and the
authorities are not to be blamed fol
performing their duty.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Cd am a
girl seventeen and I have been en-
gaged-for two months. We have
known each other for little over a
year and we have gone together from
the first day we met How long
should a couple be engaged before
they are married.
(2) His mother wants US to be mar
ried next month, but he says he does
not want to get married until he has
enough money to go to housekeeping
and also buy his own home. I have
a business education and if we did get
| married I could get job at the same
factory. He is bookkeeper and fore
man over several girls. Do you think
| it would be all right for us to marry
now or wait about six or >eight
months. YOURS TRULY.
ID It is well to thoroly know each
| other before marrying. In case a
couple have been acquainted for some
time, long engagement is not nee
essary. Also a great deal depends
upon the ages of the couple. A girl
! your age should plan for a very long
| engagement because you should not
marry until you are in your twenties
| CD Do not marry now. The boy is
right in wanting to be well established
fortunate that he misunderstands
not be old enough in six or eight
months. Many girls of your age ara
not permitted to have boy friends.
Dear Mrs. Thorn son: I have a cir
friend whom like very much. About
two weeks ago l introduced her to 8
boy friend of mine. He went to SEE
her several times and he liked hel
very much. She told me she did no.
care anything about him. She cams
to see me one evening and told ms
she had date with him for the mex
evening and she did not want to fill
It. for various reasons. 1 told her t.
write him a note and I would give j
to him. Now he won't speak to M
because he thinks I said something
about him to her, which did not.
What can 1 do so he won't thinl
I said anything.
BROWN EYES.
Ask your girl friend to explain tina
you carried the note to oblige he
and said nothing to interfere with hi!
and her friendship. If she refuses t.
F.. do so, let the matter drop. 1t is un
fortunate that he is misunderstood
YOU, but 1t will be better to let thu
matter drop than to offer an explana
ton which he will probably not be
