K-SHER|FF To
Be TRIED SOON
STATES PRINCIPAL WITNESS BE
ING BROUGHT BACK FROM
ARKANSAS TO TESTIFY.

Huron, Jan. 25.-Fred w. Ander-
son, former sheriff of Beadle county,
now under Indictment on four counts
here will go on trial in the present
term of circuit court, as soon as
Charles V. Burns, states principal
witness is returned to the state from
Missouri where he has been arrested.
He escaped from the Beadle county
jail in 1920 and has eluded officials
since. He will arrive in Huron the
first of this week 1t is expected.
Anderson was indicted on four
charges by a grand jury during Sep
tember, 1920 on information fur
nished by Burns and others. The
first indictment charges Anderson
with obtaining $500 from Stanley
Stelmachowski and his father. Mar
tin, through representing that he. as
sheriff, would be able to get Stanley
free from the penitentiary sentence
for the theft of an automobile. STAN
ley was at that time in Jail on
grand larceny charge. Anderson was
released on $4,000 bonds on this par
ticular count, while Stelmachowski
is serving three-year term in Sioux
| Falls.
| The second indictment charges An
derson with the theft of $50 dia-
mond ring and tie pin of equal
value from Henry Gillian, colored
laborer. 1t is alleged that Burns
and Robert Enhart (Cockey SLIM
entered the box car where Gillian
was sleeping and robbed the negro OF
his jewelry. The negro recognized
both men and knowing that Enhart
was supposed to be in Jail at that
time went to Sheriff Anderson, but
declares in affidavits he could secure
no information or satisfaction from
him, 1t is alleged. Burns, Stelma-
chowski and an Mulhollan, all pris-
oners in the county jail at the time
made affidavits and statements to
the grand jury to the effect that
Anderson had released Enhart with
the express purpose and instructions
to commit the robbery and to return
to jail to divide the spoils with him.
The other indictments charge that
! Anderson as sheriff was issued war
rants for the arrest of Van Mulhollan
and Robert Enhart by justices. both
wanted for auto theft. 1t is charged
in the indictments that In July,
1920, while the sheriff had the war
rants seeking the arrest Of the two
men he was at his farm near Huron
one day, when the two men driving
a car, became stuck in mud hole
near his place with load of liquor
aboard the car. Anderson secured
his horses and pulled the auto from
the mud, knowing that the men driv-
ing 1t were Mulhollan and Enhart.
Both men made statements declaring
he knew them and made no attempt
whatever to place them under arrest.

Find Missing Cattle
In Nearby Pasture

Pierre, Jan. 25.--Lewis Welfi, a
Jackson county rancher, is rejoicing
over the recovery of bunch of his
cattle which had been missing fol
two months.
When he found them they were
within two miles of home and had
not been farther away at any time
The cattle were missed and a search
failed to locate them anywhere In
the neighborhood.
When found they were in fenced
quarter section tract of rough land
which had been used for hay the pas
year, and which contained no water
supply. While thin, the cattle were
all right in spite of their short feed
1t is presumed that the cattle en-
tered the pasture at some time wher
the gate was opened while the hay
was being hauled out. and not be
ing noticed were left inside the fence
when the gate was shut.
The light snow falls supplied them
with moisture, and they managed te
pick enough feed from the rough
land to keep them in fair shape, an6

of winter without care in good shape

CH|CAGOAN GETS
100000 ESTATE
WILL OF IPSWICH WOMAN is SET
ASIDE--CHARGES ARE
MADE.

Ipswich, Jan. 25.--One of the
strangest will cases in the history of
South Dakota was closed in the cir
cult court at Ipswich when the will
of Mrs. Florence Hosmer, 72, of Ips-
witch, was ordered set aside and the
estate granted to the hereditary heir.
Georgia Hosmer Cassilos, of Chicago.
Ray Williamson, representing Will
hanson, Williamson and Smith of
Aberdeen, represented the victorious
contestant. The estate totalled 500,
900 in property and cash.
The will, made two days before
the death of MrsAHosmer in Joliet,
ILL.,, was in favor of John w. Arnold
of Joliet. Arnold is brother of
cap" Arnold OF Ipswich who mar
riad Mrs. Hosmer's sister.
The contestant, Mrs. Georgia Vas
silos, charged that the will was made
while her aunt was OF irrational mind
and only partially conscious.
Following the death of her sister
Mrs. cap" Arnold, last April, Mrs.
Hosmer left withe body of her sister
for Joliet, the old family home.
There she stayed at the home of John
w. Arnold.
Mrs. Hosmer was very ill at the
time. She took with her an attend
ant who had to help her on and off
the train, she was SO feeble.
In Joliet she gradually became
worse. Toward the latter part of
April her condition was such that
relatives who car1e~to see her were
told by the family of John w. Ar
mold that she could not be seen. She
died on April 20, 1921.
In the room at the time the will
was made, two days before she died.
was lawyer, John w. Arnold and
the nurse. The testimony at the
Ipswich hearing for Arnold was large
ly given by the nurse who contended
that Mrs. Hosmer was in a rational
condition. Examination by attorneys
for the contestant brought out the
fact that the nurse was not compe-
tent Judge and discredited her testi-
mony, says Mr.. Williamson.
1t was shown that Mrs. Hosmer,
an educated woman, merely made a
cross for her signature.
The will left everything to John
w. Arnold. The estate included old
silver and other heirlooms that had
been in the Hosmer family for sew
eral generations. 1t was contended
by the contestants that Mrs. Hosmer
would not in her rational mind, have
willed this property out of the direct
line of descent.
The contest was first filed when
Arnold attempted to probate the VIII
in probate court, at Ipswich last
spring and was carried over to the
present term of circuit court.
Mrs. assilos is said to be the only
living blood relative of Mrs. HOS
mer.

men, kho demanded that he turn
over his money, and furthermore
threatening that Il he did not keep
quiet until the following morning,
they would comeback and shoot his
family.
Anderson obtained fair descrip-
tion of the robbers, but so far no clue
has been found and nothing has de-
veloped that would lead to their cap
ture. 1t is the general opinion, how
ever, that they were novices at the
game and not professional holdup
men.

.SPECULAT|NG HITS
THE GERMANS
THOUSANDS GO BANKRUPT IN
STOCK MARKET.

Berlin, Jan. 25.-Thousands oi
Germans have been bankrupted by
the recent craze for speculating in
the stock market. The losers were
not limited to wage earners and pro-
fessional men with inadequate in
comes, but included many compare
lively wealthy men.
The workmen and professional
men claim that speculation Is not a
vice but a necessity for men whose
incomes are 5000 marks month or
less. They say they plunged" in
the market in the hope of being able
to win enough to pay their bills and
to buy clothing for themselves or &
dress for their wives.
Some of those who lost their earn
ings in this way have disappeared
from their position. Others are max
ing the round of their acquaintance
in an effort to borrow and the re-
mainder are stolidly facing debts
which they cannot hope to pay. Gro
GERS and butchers generally have
closed of all credit accounts.
One of the spectators who list
his monthly salary of 1000 marks in
stock market speculation said.
1--WE have to gamble. We cannot
buy anything but the barest necessi-
ties on what we earn and when pri-
ces go up and money for even the
necessities is lacking, we take a
chance rather hopelessly, thinking
that our condition cannot be much
worse and that we miht have luck. 7"
