ROBBERS MAKE
HAUL OF SILK

Sioux Falls, Nov. 10.-Silks are
precious these days and A. Haggar,
an East Side merchant, is not in busi-
ness entirely for his health. So when
he came to his store at 212 Webber
avernue and he found the front door
open he started an inventory of his
stock at once. The shelves had been
denuded of some silk piece goods in
rolls while from the counters dozen
pairs of trousers were missing. AS
Haggar had someone with him when
they locked up for the night and re-
members distinctly the door was fast
he believes the lock was picked by
the intruders. The loss in silk was
between $500 and $400 while the
trousers represent around $50 more
Sheriff Waugsness was notified but
to date the authorities have no clue

LAKE PRESTON
OPERATOR HELD

Lake Preston, Nov. 10.-Dis-
crepancy in his stories about the al
legged holdup Tuesday night of the
Northwestern railroad station at
Lake Preston where he was operator,
resulted yesterday in the arrest for
investigation of the operator himself,
young man named Juedes. First
reports of the robbery given by him
said that armed men had broken in
and at the point of gun held him
up and relieved the office of sum
estimated at from $50 to 500, be-
longing to the railroad. Later he
changed his story, it was declared
and said that they had entered the
place while he was out on the plat
form, so the authorities there
thought it wiser to place him under
arrest until the circumstances are
further cleared up.
Juedes is little known around
Lake Preston, having come there las
Friday from New Ulm, Mimi, and i!
about Is years old. He was given {
preliminary hearing before the jus
tice of the peace.

JUST HOW TO
NOMINATE
OLD RICHARDS LAW ACTS in
NAMING CONGRESSMEN.

Pierre, Nov. 10.-The question has
been raised as to the method of nom
ination Of state senators and mem
bers of congress under the new ''pri-
mary" law. AS far as anything can
be learned from the law, in legisla-
tive districts where the district is
composed to get upon the ballot is
through petition as Independent,
candidates. Nominations for legis-
lative positions where only one coun-
ty comprises the district are through
the proposal meeting of the county
AS to congressional nominations
the only practical plan open is that
followed when the old Richards
law was in effect the proposal men
from the different districts holding
informal meetings and making their
district selections and submitting
them to the whole convention for en-
dorsement.

STATE GETS
BACK PAY

Pierre, Nov. 10.-Attorney Gen.
eral Payne has taken action which
has brought to the treasury of Stan
ley county, nearly thousand dollars
which was paid to county officials
without warrant of law. Some time
ago the executive accountant made
an examination OF the affairs of that
county and reported over-payment to
various county officials. The states
attorney failed to take any action for
recovery, and this resulted in grand
jury investigation and indictments
and prosecution OF the states attor-
ney and some of the members of the
board of county commissioners, the
actions being brought by the attorney
general and conducted by his depart
ment.
