HAROLD BEATS FAULKTON
In POST.SEASON GAME

The Harold ball team, champions
of the b. & Y. League, defeated the
Faulkton team, champions of the Tri-
County League, at Faulkton last Sun
day by a score of 4 to 3.
Harold scored first in the second
when they made two runs, and lost
the lead in the third when Faulkton
scored three runs on n hit and three
errors.
Each team played air-tight base ball
the rest of the game, except in the
eighth when Harold won the game.
The Faulkton pitcher passed the first
man up, and with two strikes and two
balls on the next, the pitcher eased
in a floater which was kissed for
three sacks. A slow bounder to short
brought in the winning run.
The Faulkton fans lived up to their
reputation by grabbing every decision
of the jumps not in their favor. Out
side of this unp~leasantness the game
was a good one to watch.

Plow Up Bones of White
People Near Sisseton

Siss eton, Sept. Awhile excavating
gravel from a hill near the Sisseton-
Britton state highway, just east of Red
Iron lake, the crew of workmen dug
up skeletons of four or five human
beings. The bones are in a fair state
of preservation, according to the Sis
seton Courier, and have attracted
much attention. No one skilled in the
study of such matters has yet examin-
cd the skeletons, but they are evident
ly of white people and it is believed
they were victims of the Indians many
years ago.
The plows of the workmen broke
and scattered some of the bones, but
as near as can be made. out the skele-
tons were of a man, a woman, a child
and another person probably full
grown. The Lake City Journal-T Times
reports they were unquestionably of
white people, as the skulls plainly
show. One had a few light colored
hairs nearby and old-fashioned brass
shoe tips and a glass button were
found with the skeleton of the child.
A few shreds of what appeared to be
a blue cloth was near another.
The bodies had been buried at a
short distance from one another and
only a little ways below the surface.
One solution of the mystery is
brought forward by Tom Ewing of
Lake City, who recalls having heard
a story related by Arthur Sckerl, now
deceased. AS he remembers the story
an immigrant family was surprised
and slain by the Indians and buried
where they fell. Mr.. Sckerl was an
old timer at Lake City and a soldier
at old Fort Sisseton in the 70s.

THE REQUIEM OF FOLLY

Of tinsel. From the gaudy cap that

would he lead them to display the
talents, real or fancied, which he per-
suaded them they possessed. He
made speciality of no class; young or
old, lettered and illiterate, both sexes
and all calibers of men would he at
tack.
The success achieved by Folly was
phenomenal. He entered the palace
of royalty, and at once regal within
and caprice lost it's dignity and play
ed the buffoon for the plaudits OF the
multitude. Swiftly descending to the
hut of the peasant, he caused the

Take Advantage Of fire
To Rob Red6eld Concern

Redfeld, S. d., Sept. Sire of
unknown origin attracted the atten-
ton of the entire city last night when
the Ralph Washington livery barn
burned to the ground, taking with 1t
nine truck horses and a big motor
truck.
In the meantime someone entered
the Robinson harness stoe, rifing
the money drawer of a small amount
of cash and getting away with a
number of high-powered guns and
cartridges.
The car belonging to Harry Jeffer-
son was taken from the Home garage
at about the same time and the Nit
chell b~loodhounds are in Redfield this
morning in an effort to trace the

prevail from u~nknowing Doors, fever
ish scrambling to attract the upturn-
ed gaze of Indifferent souls or cack-
ling sycophants-all this and more
formed a part of Folly's culver.
One mistake, however, this impish
sprite rocked not of. He Judged the
variety of his loot to comprise the
race OF men i'm its entirety. Such
~variegated flowers thought he, surely
must represent all the foolish sons
and daughters of men. Represent,
yes; comprise, no. The sturdy chill
dren of earth, keener of vision, clear
err of head, had pierced his mask. His
victims were merely those whom my
opia had claimed as her own. Al
ready pulled to d~istension by ingrow-
ing vanity, easily did they succumb
to the light dart which even weak
fingered Folly could cast.
Every class OF men without excep-
| ton shows the marks where Folly has
| winged a weakling. The averted
| stare, the tilted nose, the neighing
| whinny for approval, are but signals
| calling to the mob for applause, and
yet more applause. Folly smirks and
| his victims soon wilt. Sanity returns
to the populace, and the aping for
pitiful paise is punctured. Human
records then chronicle another mad
man. Folly with Icarian pinions soar
ed towards the sun. Light was his
fall and complete his collapse. Like
a bubble did he burst. The dirge they
sang: Vanity of vanities and all is
vanity. His requiem, the whine OF his
minions squeaked out to the chorus
of all real men: Folly enlarged
mems desires while he lessened their
capacities" He is dead: long may he
mouldar.

Beadle County Man
Escapes From Officer.

Huron. Sept. 11.-Walter Stroud,
wanted here for making a sensational
Jail delivery here June 20 last in COM
pany with Lyle Gardner, and also
wanted for breaking Jail at the state
farm at Tucker, Ark. Sept. 81, 1916,
where he had served but a month of a
nine-year sentence for grand larceny
and attempt to kill, is now headed for
Canada after a brush with Beadle
county officials, in which he escaped
through high weeds after having a
horse shot from under him.
According to information from Wes-
sington, near where Stroud, or Strope
as he was better known around here,
had make his home since breaking Jail
in Arkansas, Stroud has been hiding
out in the Sand Creek country since
gaining his freedom here June 20. BY
threats and intimidation Stroud had
the residents of that section so cowed
that they were afraid to give informa-
ton against him.
According to reports, Stroud secur-
ed Sam Williams, of washington, to
load up Mrs. Stroud and children and
as much of their household goods as
DOcbloiC III tluShs II hC biCt z
six miles east of Washington, the par
| ty starting north. The next morning
| this information was sent Sheriff A. j
Larson at Huron. and with Deputies
John Boyle and Carl Hopkins they
started after Stroud.
Catching sight of Stroud and his
party near the Sphinx county line, the
| officers were prevented from opening
fire on the escaped convict by the fact
that he was surrounded by his five
| children to shield him. A party OF
surveyors ahead of the fleeing truck
| apparently caused Stroud to believe
that he was headed off by another
posse, and jumping to his horse. he
procured a rifle or shotgun from Mrs
Stroud and headed into a patch OF
high weeds.
When he refused to halt, Deputy
John Boyle shot his horse from under
him. but Stroud make good his escape
in the high weeds and cornfields be-
yond. although posses have since been
searching for him in Sphinx and Beadle
counties.
