SUPPORTED GERMAN.

(By Associated Press)

Munich, Aug. 9.-Evidence in
troduced at the recent trial Of!
Baron Won Leoprechting, who
was sentenced to penal servitude
for life on charges Of high treas
on, indicated that the accused
had received regular monthly pay
from the French minister in Mum
ich, M. Dard, and that France
was interested in his alleged ef-
forts To- bring about the separa-.
ton Of the south Of Germany
from the north.
The Baron was charged with
trying to effect the separation Of
Germany throuh French military
occupation Of the line formed by
the river Main. The sections to
! be. cut off included Bavaria,
Wuerttemberg, and Baden. The
I plan involved also a part Of Aus
l}tria and the Tyrol.
A document introduced at the
trial as having been prepared by
the baron was branded by the
court as ga faithfully reflected
image Of the annihilating meth
! DDS already used against Germany
'by Cardinal Richelieu, Cardinal
Macerin, Louis XIV, Cardinal
Fleury, and Napoleon T.
<'The document is a monument
to the burning hatred against
German unity and against all
that is German, the court de-
clared in pronouncing sentence.
It planned the political, economic
agricultural, and moral disor-
i eanization Of Germany, and the
! destruction Of the unity Of the
, German people.
: The court asserted won Leop
rechtings s plan aimed at making
!, Germany entirely dependent On
France, politically and economi
cally, and that it constituted doe
umentary proof Of France :
scheme for forcible establish
,, 1nent of French hegemony IL
Europe.
/ The court said it was convin
ced that M. Dard came to Nun
| ich with a mandate from th
i French government to pursue al
intensive agitation for the sepa
ration Of the south Of German,
from the north and that he ha(
arranged with the French gov
ernment that, following certain
: preparations by him, the Frencl
4 generals in the Rhineland terri
l tory, with their troops, would
| suddenly ocupy the line Of tn
1 Main for the purpose Of effect
: ing the separation.
a. Baron Won Leoprechting plead
ed that he acted purely out o
4 patriotic motives, intending NJ
sub bjugation Of Germany, and
: meant to accomplish only tenn
). porary separation. In pronoun
t cling sentence the court announc
r ed it would have imposed tn
3 death penalty had the law per
mitted.

Drilling Soon To Start
On Fl. Pierre Oil Well

Pierre, S. d., April ga contract
has been let to a Wyoming drilling
firm to resume active drilling opera
tons on the Standing Butte test oil
well on or before the first of May.
The contract calls for sending the
drill down to three thousand feet IL
necessary to complete the test. The
company has enough casing on hand
to go $500 feet and another carload
ordered, which will be sufficient to
go to the 5000 foot depth if requir-
ed. Oil will be used for fuel in the
engine in the new work and the sup
ply for that purpose has been provid-
ed. This is one of the oil tests in the
state which is not a promotion scheme.
The officers are local men and draw
no salary for their services, doing
the work for the purpose of securing
a practical test of the oil possibilities
of the central part Of the state, and If
oil Is found there will be no secrecy
in regard to that fact as it is the pub
licity of that fact that that oil does
exist which is most desired if found.

Otis Williams and Children,

Kind friends the sad destroyer
Has visited our home;
He leaves us sad and lonely
For many years to come.
He has taken our fond Mother
While we are here alone;
Since Mother has been taken
1t doesn't seem like home.
Friends we love are leaving,
They're passing one by one;
Treat your mother kindly
You will miss her when she is gone,
You will never find another,
Who can her place supply;
Assist her while she is living
1t will comfort you by and by.
You will miss her in the morning,
You will miss her In the night;
In all the work you undertake,
There is nothing will seem right.
You will miss her when its bedtime,
You will miss her when at prayer,
You will miss her in the evening,
You will miss her everywhere.
There is no friend like Mother,
SO constant and SO true;
She will always defend you
in everything you do.
When sickness mt upon you
She watches you with ARE
In all OF life's small trials,
A Mother bears her share.
