GUILTY CONSCIENCED
CAUSED HIS ARREST
Aberdeen Business Man Ran
When Approached-Carried
Forbidden Liquor.

Aberdeen. S. D., Aug. 9.-The truth
OF the biblical assertion that "the
wicked flee when no man pursueth"
and the efficiency OF South Dakota's
bone dry law were both exemplified
about 2 o'clock Of recent morning
when a rather prominent citizen Of
Aberdeen was passing down the city's
principal thoroughfare. suitcase in
hand, on his way home from a trip
to a nearby state which is not yet
entirely dry in a prohibition sense. It
was raining and a policeman who had
been standing in doorway Of a store
found the rain beating down upon
him and decided to, cross the street
to get out of the wet The storm was
severe and the officer ran at a good
rate of speed across the street. AS he
did SO he was astonished to see the
prominent citizen whom he had not
previously noticed, drop his suitcase
and run. His curiosity aroused. the of
ficer pursued and overlook the citizen,
at distance of about two blocks, and
after securing the suitcase took him
to the police station. An investigation
revealed the fact that the citizen had
a few pints OF whisky In the suitcase
which he was bringing home solely for
his own private enjoyment. The police
man would never have suspected the
citizen of any such delinquency II the
latter's guilty conscience had not
caused him to run away.

RAINS WERE GENERAL
over SOUTH DAKOTA
Corn Crop Said to Have Been
Greatly Benefited-slght
Delay For Harvesting.

Madison, S. D.. Aug. 10.-The general
rains over the agricultural sections of
South Dakota yesterday and last night
proved of untold benefit to corn, to
pastures and to gardens. Corn in some
sections of the state had commenced
to show signs Of injury by the dry
weather which prevailed for some days.
and the rains were timely so far as
this important crop is concerned. In
most localities the rainfall was suf-
f1c1ent to carry corn and other late
crops along for 10 days or two weeks.
Harvesting was delayed in sections
where 1t had not been completed, this
applying to the northern counties, but
no great injury will be done, as farm
ers will have ample opportunity to
again has dried off on the surface
Threshing also will be delayed in the
southern counties where 1t had COM
menced. Thfeshing can be resumed
within a few days.
Reports made from localities where
thfeshing had commenced show the
yield of small grain to be above ex
pectations and better than for several
years. In the Scotland territory one
OF the first TO thresh was Carl Platt-
ner, whose wheat averaged more than
20 bushels per acre and oats As bushels
locality, threshed oats which averaged
go bushels to the acre. The grain Is
all testing heavy. In the Hudson ter
ritory Frank Cables barley yielded
an average of 80 bushels per acre. OF
good quality. Arel Johnson's early
pats yielded better than AZ bushels to
he acre. Herbert Finch's Marquis
wheat averaged Is bushels per acre, of
very fine quality. and brought s2.05
per bushel on the Hudson market. All
the grain is of as fine quality as was
ever raised in that part of South
Dakota

FORMER EGAE, S. D., MAN
HAD HIS SHARE OF WAR

Egan, S. D., Aug. S.--LiKe hearing
from the dead was a letter received by
Egan friends from Albert Bourne. q
young Englishman who formerly re-
sided here He has an unusual war
record. At the commencement of the
war he returned to England and en-
listed in the British army.
He was one Of the comparatively
small handful Of British troops who
early in the war withstood the shock
of nearly the full force of the Germans.
He served continuously for period of
more than two years at the fighting
front On one occasion lie was severe
ly wounded and was in a hospital for
many weeks, but when he recovered he
returned to the firing line After oon-
tinuous service for the period stated
he was honorably discharged on the
ground that he had done his bit and
would not be required to perform fur
Their military service. lie was one of
only four survivors Of the original bat
talon with which he was assigned to
service at the commencement of the
war.
Bourne returned TO England and for
some months, so near as could be
judged by the letters which We're re-
ceived at intervals from him by his
South Dakota friends, he was assigned
to duty in an ammunition factory or
some other factory engaged In war
work.
Then the letters from him failed to
come and his friends in South Dakota
feared he was dead.
Therefore there was rejoicing q day
or two ago when letter finally was
received from him. This was written
from a point in England and shows
that Bourne. notwithstanding his hon
orable discharge from further military
service, owing to the shortage of man
power in England again has been SUM
moned TO the colors. In the letter he
states that he had again been In
hospital, having been gassed by the
Germans on the western front, but that
he has about recovered and has been
assigned to duty in a n1upition fact Org
his fighting days evidently finally being
over.
