Wildcat "YOwled"
On Cabin Roof

Rapid City, Jan. 31.-Custav Fien-
up, a rancher living on the Hill City
highway, in the foothills of the Black
Hills, is produly exhibiting a bobcat
or lynx, which he captured in trap.
He had wild fight with the ami
NAL while 1t was still attached to
the trap, but finally managed to kill
it by striking it on the head with a
large stone. Fienup's first plan was
to take the wildcat from the trap
alive, but the animal showed it was
ready for battle to the death, and the
rancher was finally compelled to kill
1t.
Fienup had been victtimized by the
wildcat for some time, raids on his
chickens being made at frequent in
tervals, but when the fierce animal
finally put in night wailing on the
roof of his cabin the rancher decided
to "get" it at all hazards.
A rifle and shotgun proving un-
availing because of the quickness OF
the wildcat, the rancher resorted to
trapping, with the result that his
chickens will no longer be the subject
of raids and his own nightly slumbers
will not be disturbed by the yowling
of the animal.

$4,000 Treasure
Is Still Hidden

Sioux Falls, Jan. 31.--Whether or
not the prisoner at the South Da-
kota penitentiary told the truth as
to the hiding of $4,000 in stolen ex-
press money is now questioned by Of
ficials of the American Railway Ex-
press company. About two weeks ago
one of the prisoners at the peniten-
tiary "got religion, and confessed to
the prison chaplain as to the location
of stolen money he had hidden.
The express officials didn't give
credience to the story, and now de-
clare that the story told by the pri-
soner in his confession fails to jibe
with the facts in the position of the
company. A search failed to dis
close the money where the prisoner
said it was.
1t is expected that as soon as the
express company is ready to investi-
gate the matter further, the prisoner
will be taken to the northern part OF
the state under a strong guard, and
search for the buried money insti-
tuted.

PLAN CONFERENCE
TO REDUCE RENTS
NATIONWIDE MOVE TO FIND RE-
LIEF MEASURES FOR ACUTE
HOUSING SHORTAGE

Washington, Jan. 31.-A move
ment for a national conference to
solve the nations housing and high
rents problems was started here to-
day.
Senator King, democrat, Utah, sent
a letter to President Harding plead
ing that he issue call for delegates
from all parts of the country to as
semble and find relief for the acute
building situation.
The president could summon rep
resentatives of banking interests, la
Dor and the public who could launch
a huge building drive for new con-
struction of homes, King told the
United Press in an exclusive inter-
view.
Bankers would be glad to loan
the money to finance such a national
project. Representatives of labor
would jump at the chance to employ
men who are out of work.
"The public could play the interest
ed third party in the negotiations
and see that a decision is reached to
to stifle this great national peril.
II believe that such a conference
would not only smother a large por-
tion of the depression now extent but
would alleviate the unemployment sill
uation.
THE nations jobless could be put
to work to build homes for the ma
tion's homeless; the banks could put
in circulation money that is now tied
up; building which is now at it's low
est ebb would be stimulated and the
result would be solution of the vari
GUS difficulties which are now before
u.s."

MAKES RULING
UPON TAXATION
STATUS OF CHURCH PROPERTY
SET FORTH BY ATTORNEY
GENERALS OFFICE

Pierre, Jan. 31.--On inquiry from
Mcpherson county the state legal de-
partment holds that mere ownership
of property by religious or charit-
able institution does not exempt it
from taxation.
The issue was raised on a tract of
property in that county which is held
kota Conference of Evangelical asso-
Citations.
Evidently it is rented and the pro-
ceeds from the rental go for the main
tenance of the society. The supreme
court has held on several occasions
that property to be exempt from taxa
tion must be used exclusively for re-
ligious, benevolent or charitable pur-
poses.
The general holding appears TO be
that when the state constitution was
amended to allow the legislature to
classify property for the purpose of
taxation, the old provision in regard
to exemption was modified, and un-
less property is classed as exempt
it must pay taxes and apparently in
view of the attorney general the tract
in question does not come under the
exemption clause, as revenue derived
from it only are used for the pur-
poses of the society.
An inquiry from Lawrence county
attempts to ascertain the procedure
of sending those adjudged as feeble
minded to the state institution at Red
field The ISSUE raised appears to
have been that the management of
the home took the position that they
had no appropriation to send an at
tendant to conduct the patients in
question to the home.
1t is held that under the general
legal provisions governing this
home, the appropriation made for
the institution is available for the
purpose of sending out such attend
ants, and the proper procedure is to
ask for such assistance.

.CHARlESS|VYDER
NOT CAPTURED
McCOOK OFFICIAL DENIES AL
LEGER SLAYER is CAUGHT
IN WYOMING

Yankton, Jan. 31.-Recent rumors
that Charles Snyder, formerly of
Yankton, suspected mureder of Pat
rick McNabee, wealthy McCook coun-
ty farmer, had been captured out
in Wyoming, are untrue, it vase said
yesterday by States Attorney r. M.
Shield of McCook county, who was
in Yankton on business which called
him to the state hospital. Snyder is
still missing and his whereabouts are
unknown, the last trace of him being
at Dakota City, Neb., Mr.. Shield said.
The hunt has by no means been aban-
doned, however, and eventually he
will be captured.
No further efforts have been made
to locate the body of McNabee, Mr..
Shield said. and nothing can be done
until the ice goes out of the Jim riv-x
er. Snyder is believed to have thrown
the body of his victim into the river
at some point in Yankton county, pos
sibly at the Broadway bridge north
of the city. The county commission
ers of McCook county have offered a
reward of $500 for the capture of the
fugitive. His wife and children are
now with her folks in the Black Hills
country.
That Snyder is more cunning
criminal than most people believe is
the opinion of Attorney Shield. In
making his escape from the country
he was taking desperate chances,
but he allayed suspicion among those
he encountered by his manner, vol
unfairly offering explanations of the
things which otherwise might have
aroused suspicion. He even told some
that he had had a fight with man.
which he said accounted for blood
seen on hay in the wagon which he
was driving.
