E|MBEzzLED TO
PAY HIS BILLS
G. F. WILDE BROUGHT TO PENI-
TENTIARY FROM SCOTLAND
TO SERVE TWO YEAR
TERM.

Sioux Falls, Dec. 31.--The latest
prisoner to be lodged in the state
penitentiary is G. +. Wilde, former
manager of lumber company at
Scotland, who will serve term OF
two years for embezzling money
from the company.
: Soon after committing the crime
he disappeared, and recently was To-
Gated in Oregon and brought back
to South Dakota. He confessed his
guilt when taken before Judge
Trip, of the circuit court.
He admitted taking funds of the
company, to the amount of about s2,-
000 The first money taken, he
said. was to pay surgical and hos
pital bills for his wife. A short
time later he had similar expense
for one of his children and the
amount taken was increased. His
salary, he informed the court, had
not been increased with the increase
in the cost of living. and this made
it impossible for him to repay the
sums embezzled, or to pay all his
living expenses. so the amounts
borrowed. from the company grad
ually increased until despairing of
hope of being able to replace the
amount taken, he fled.
1t is believed that had he candid
ly presented the matter to the Off
GERS. of the company arrangements
could have been made whereby he
could have made settlements with
the company and avoided prosecu-
tion. In view of the circumstances,
and the fact that his services are
needed to take care of his family,
Judge Tripp exercised leniency and
made the sentence much lighter than
customary in embezzlement cases.

tuberculosis
Among Poultry

Brookings. Dec. 31.Tuberculos
threatens TO be serious hindrance
to the raising of poultry In South
Dakota, according to the department
of poultry husbandry at State coll
lege.
Autopsies made by the veterinary
department of the college show an
increase in the disease. OF fowls
examined by Iowa State college, the
percentage affected by tuberculosis
grew in q few years from "a per
cent to SO per cent.
This disease threatens the South
Dakota poultry industry because:
1t is highly infectious. When af-
fected birds are in the flock, the
other chickens take the germs into
their bodies with food and water, or
from dust in the air. Wild birds
may infect the flock.
The disease is not easily recogniz-
ed as such. Fowls may die from
time to time and the poultryman not
suspect the cause. Only post-mor-
tenn examination by a competent
person can positively identify It.
Fowls affected may transmit the
disease 20 other farm animals or
even to the family. There Is no cure.
A When well established the disease
will cause heavy losses, and the only
practical and sure way Of eradicat-
ing 1t is for the poultryman to go out
Of business for = couple OF years. or
start anew.
Hope for the future lies in the
perfection Of the tuberculosis test.
and in preventative m easures
through care in buying stock and BY
keeping the flock under the best
sanitary conditions.

SECRETARY HOUSTON
IS At Tackled
GALBRAITH SAYS SECRETARY Is
TRYING TO MIsLEAD AND
BRIGHTEN PEOPLE WITH
FIGURES.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Testimony
by Secretary Houston of the treas
uhy, before the senate finance COM
mittee Monday, placing the cost of
carrying out the pending adjusted
compensation of soldier bonus bill
at $4,000, 100000 was characterized
by #. w. Galbraith, national COM
mander of the American legion, in a
statement last night as .'scuttle fish
skirmish to muddy the waters so
that the principle involved can be
clouded in a lot of figures that mean
nothing"
Mr.. Galbraith estimated the max
imum amount the bonus bill would
cost the government at $1,S7S,8OO,-
900.
Secretary Houston's whole pre-
sentation of the matter said the le-
gion commander, "was misleading
and designed to frighten the coun-
try into a Reputation of it's obliga-
tion to ex-service men. The general
impression was conveyed by his tes-
timony that the passage of the ad-
iusted compensation bill would en-
tail the immediate appropriation Of
millions of dollars by the govern
ment and seriously cripple the fl
nancial condition of the treasury at
present. The facts are that appro-
priations necessary to carry out all
features OF the bill except that Of
cash compensation would be neglig-
ible for this year and for several
years to come and that appropria-
tions for cash compensation are not
asked until July 1921, and are to be
spread over two years.

cats, prairie dogs, ground squirrels,

SOUTH DAKOTA
STANDS At HEAD
MAKES RECORD IN PAYMENT
HAIL LOssEs-NORTH DA-
KOTA FAR BEHIND In PAY
ING CLAIMS.

Pierre. Dec. 31--A comparison of
the hail insurance laws of South Da-
kota and North Dakota is made in
a recent insurance publication.
The South Dakota fund cleared UP
all 1919 losses by the first of the
present year, and has cleared up all
claims for 1920 losses except In
cases where there were errors as to
land descriptions, and disputes as to
who Is entitled to payment for losses
of the present year, with funds on
hand to clear these up as soon as the
proper claimant has proven his
right. or the proper descriptions are
shown.
In North Dakota over 100000
of the 1919 losses are yet unpaid.
In making payment the counties
in that state were paid alphabetical
ly, and the fund was exhausted be-
fore eight of the counties which were
last on the alphabetical list we're
reached.
In the 1920 losses warrants have
been turned over in 16 counties.
which include the list of those left
out last year. as the alphabetical list
was reversed for this year.
But as there will be no funds
available to pay these warrants until
the tax collections come in next
spring, the holders of the warrants
are in many cases disposing Of them
at a discount.

YEGG SUSPECTS
ARE CAPTURED
MILIINER PROVES UNDoING OF
TWO ALLEGED BANDITS.

Parker, S. d. Dec. 31.-Because
two young men giving their names
as Walter Overton and George Stei-
ber, each about 26 years old, tarried
too long in the railroad yards of
Monroe, about nine miles northwest
of here, after an alleged unsuccess-
full attempt to rob the bank of that
city, they are now in the Jail at Par
ker awaiting hearing.
About 2.30 Monday morning Mrs
Bertain, who lives in rooms at the
rear of her millinery store adjoining
the bank of Monroe, was awakened
by noise as of someone chopping.
She soon discovered that the sound
came from the bank building and at
once called the president of the
bank over the telephone. The bank
er's home and the bank are both
connected with the same wire SO
that the phone bells in both build
ings ring at the same time 1t is
thought that the ringing of the bells
i'm the bank alarmed the robbers.
When the posse of citizens, called
by the banker, arrived they found
the robbers had fled. A thorough
search was made of the surroundings
and the two men were discovered in
the railroad yards evidently waiting
for train due to arrive within a
short time.
Entrance to the bank had been
gained by breaking in rear win
dow. The safety vault had been
partly chopped through. Tools to
work with had been taken from the
tool house of the Northwestern rail
road.

WILSON TURNsDOWN
HUGE CASH OFFER
REJECTS A sYNDICATEs PRO-
POSAL TO PAY HIM $50, 900
FOR FIRST ARTICLE FROM
HIS PEN.

Washington, ID. G. Dec. 31.-Pre-
sident Wilson has rejected an offer
to pay him $150,000 for the first ar
ticle to be written by him after he
ceases to be president of the United
States. The offer was said to have
come from newspaper syndicate
which proposed to sell the article to
a large number of newspapers at a
high price to each. In declining the
offer President Wilson took the DO
sition that no article from his pen or
that of any other man was worth
$150,000. He contended, it is under
stood, that his acceptance would not
only be placing false value on his
writing, but would be taking an un-
fair advantage of the syndicate.
The president is credited with hav-
ing agreed to pay $150.000 for the
residence in Washington, which he
purchased for a permanent home.
Since the nomination of Gov. Cox
many offers have been made to
President Wilson to write books and
articles. He is said to
have considered these, but ID is we'll
understood among his friends that
he contemplates writing history of
his administration, or that part of it
the world war, with particular ref
erence to the peace conference.
Whether the president will be able
to undertake work of such magni-
tude on account of his phsical con-
dition is something that only the flu
ture can determine.

MONSTER STILL
CABIN in ISOLATED SECTION OF
BLACK HILLS HAD ACTIVE
OCCUPANT.

Deadwood, Dec. 31.-- ADeadwood
man, who has been working in the
southern Black Hills, on his return
to Deadwood told his story on an
experience he had with an up-to-date
"moonshiner:"
II had been working in the tim
Der. and while coming back to camp
one evening decided to rest for a
time at small cabin. which was
situated short distance from the
route to and from camp
mot knowing the cabin was in
habited, I opened the door and
walked in. You can imagine my
surprise when on walking into the
cabin found a man there.
sGlancing about noticed large
copper kettle with hose attached.
standing over very hot fire. the
hose running to q gallon jug on the
floor.
Neither Of us spoke for q few
moments. SO taken by surprise APP
peared to be both of us. noticed
further that there was six-shooter
lying on the table in the center of
the room, and 5000 Winchester
rifle standing at the door. The
sight of these weapons. ready for in
stant use, convinced me that silence
was golden.
THE occupant OF the cabin, after
few moments silence, during
which he glared fiercely at me-
evidently striving to figure out
whether or not was federal or
state prohibition officer finally
broke the silence and struck up a
conversation, after which he gave
me drink of the moonshine, =
which pronounced the best nquid
that had made its appearance in the
Black Hills since the 'drouth.'
THE liquid was being distilled
through preparation of charcoal,
which 1t was explained by the nm
known man took away the usual
taste Of the original white mule.
| passed the cabin again q few Gays
later, and went II for the purpose
.of again samplinS the liquor, but Il
was empty and gave etidcnce Of
having been hastily abandoned by
the moonshiner, Who had cnn1f~lly
removed al his alliances. |"
