SON to whom they were issued has
never been a resident of the sanitar.

inal owner, but in the event that nc

III. E. Schroeder announces a pub
lie sale at auction at the VIM. Metcalf
farm, five miles northwest of Mad
ison, Wednesday, January %. Mr..
Schroeder plans moving onto a small
er farm. The property to be sold in
cludes five head of horses, 2S head
of cattle, even mich cows coming
fresh soon, steers and young stock
and a long list of farm machinery.
The sale will be in charge of Col. j.
grove, clerk. A free lunch will be
served at noon, the sale beginning at
l p. IN.
There are rough days ahead in the
weather line, that is, this winter can
hardly pass without some very Sc
we're spells that will force people to
seek shelter when in the city making
purchases, and it is very thoughtful
of the city authorities to maintain
as they have, a rest room in an easy
accessible place for women and chill
dren from out of the city. 1t is not
to be gathered from the above
weather prediction that the rest
room is available only during bad.
stormy days-it is open all the time
and ladies are requested to make
good use of it. This room is heated
and is kept neat and clean. The ac-
commodations are such that women
from out of the city will be glad to
avail themselves of. They are free,
and it is hoped that good use will be
made of everything that has been sc
kindly provided.

ASKS DAMAGE
FARMER SUES FOR $4,000 FOR
FALSE ARREST.

Sioux Falls, Jan. 14.-Mrs. Jens
Johnson, a prominent resident of the
Beresford territory, has been made
the defendant in a $4,000 damage
suit which has been instituted in the
state circuit court by Aldrick Larson,
a wealthy farmer of the vicinity.
The damage suit is the ~outgrowth
of the arrest some months ago OF Lar
son on the charge that he might have
been responsible for the tragic death
of Albert Johnson, a boy. son OF the
woman who is made the defendant In
the damage suit. Larson alleges that
he was damaged to the extent or
$4,000 and seeks to recover the
damages for false arrest and impris-
onment. A few days after his arrest
he was released and the case against
him was dismissed, the authorities
having come to the conclusion that
the boy was killed by the kick of a
mule.
The Johnson boy was found dead
in the barn on the farm OF his moth
err early in the evening, the body hay-
ing been found by the mother and
another son on their return from a
| trip to Sioux Falls. Two theories
were advanced as the cause OF his
death-one that he had been delib-
| erately murdered and the other that
he had been kicked by the mule.
Bloodhounds were taken to the
scene and these are alleged to have
gone from the place where the body
of the boy was found to the home OF
Larson. The arrest of the latter fol-
flowed, and, as stated, after a COM
plete investigation by the authorities
the case against him was dismissed
and he was released.

Col. Applin Who Visited Here to Command King Regiment

T am sure you will be delighted to hear that His Majesty has appointed me to command my regiment (the Fourteenth Kings Hussars), an honor which I greatly appreciate, although I had already reached the age limit of my rank, and had resigned my conn mission. I have accepted this for the time, anyhow. The regiment is just home from the Mesopotamia campaign and will be stationed at Tidworth, near Salisbury, which will be my future ad- dress. General Trotter and one or two others of the British mission to the United States army received your medal or honor for their service in addition to British rewards and I should have prized this much more than any British honor for work done in the U. s. A.. but I cannot help feeling fully reward ed already by the splendid appreciation shown by all your people, from the Sec retary of State to the junior lieuten- ants in numerous letters which I shall ever treasure with the greatest pride,
 Please note my new address and re- member I shall be more than delighted to welcome you and yours and show you our great Training Center on Salisbury Plain when you are able to lgain visit the old country"
