the bankrupt Egan sought to further
his candidacy for governor of South
Dakota. -
Flanagan claims that the publica-
ton was used to counteract and dis
tort the truth concerning Egan's past
conduct which would disqualify him
as a worthy person to hold such Office.
1t is claimed that Egan has begged
and borrowed from his friends a sum
of money Of which 500 is due and ow-
ing to Flanagan and that demand has
been made for the payment Of this
sum together with all the amount ow-
ing and that only the sum of $50 has
been paid against the whole amount
leaving a balance due of $40.

Boa Constructor And
Rattlesnakes Battle

Rapid City, S. D., Aug. 1S.-It was
learned after a visit to the carnival
grounds, that the Looff's Carnival
Company employees had some excite.
ment while enroute to this city from
Scottsbluff, Neb., where the show las,
played.
CONSERVATION prevailed enroute
when a boa-constrictor, measuring
we eight feet in length, went sud,
denly insane while battling with a
bunch of rattlers, with a result the
big fellow came out victorious before
he could be- put under control by his
owner. Ralph Sprague, who lost four
of his best snakes.

Two Men And Pliers
Free Finger From Turtle

Luverne, Mimi, Aug. 1.-two men
and a pair of pliers were required to
separate a swapping turtle from Floyd
Shocks finger here. Shook, with two
other men, had caught a large turtle,
lanced its throat and were taking it
home to be used at a turtle dinner.
The turtle had been placed between
the fender and the hood of the ma
chine in which the men were riding.
The starter would not work and
Shook got out to crank it. AS he
started to turn the motor over, he
placed his hand too near the turtles
head with the result that his finger
was promptly taken into its mouth.
Until a firm grip was obtained on
the turtles underjaw with a pair of
pliers, the men were unable to re-
lease Shocks finger.

A Record Breaking
State Fair This Year

Huron, S. D., Aug. 16.-Indications
all point to the biggest and best State
Fair in years when the fair grounds
are oDened September IL for the 3Sth
annua South Dakota State Fair and
Exposition.
Entries for all departments are
heavier this year than in many years
past, and already Secretary John
White has been forced to cancel en-
tries in certain departments for lack
of sufficient display room.
The agricultural exhibit will be the
largest in years. Last year there were
eight county exhibits in the agricul-
tural building. This year q counties
have applied for space and have voted
money to put in their exhibits. Cor
son county alone has appropriated
$1,000 for this purpose.
1t is expected that there will be a
large horticultural display this year,
but entries for hat will not close un-
til the week before the fair. One
feature of the horticultural building
this year will be the big display by
the United States department of agri-
culture, which has engaged $500
square feet of floor space for. showing
the activities of the departments
various bureaus. This will be an edu-
cational exhibit of considerable i'm
p~ortance to the farmers of the state.
It has been found necessary to cut
out all concessions in both the agri-
cultural and women's buildings this
year on account Of the exhibits.
Twelve women's organizations of the
state will have booths in the women's
building in addition to the regular
displays, THURSDAY, September IA has
been set aside for the State Fedora
Etion of Women's clubs, and Mrs. Grace
Reed Porter of Mitchell is expecting
every club in the state to have repre-
sentatives and large delegations at
the grounds hat day.
The poultry, dairy and machinery
exhibits this year Will be if anything
better than last year, while the live
stock exhibits will break all records.
Especially is this true of the dairy
cattle department, which will be larg-
er than ever before, 1t being neces-
sary to supply an extra judge this
year to judge the dairy cattle entries.
Instead of using tents to handle the
overflow from the cattle department
this year, two large temporary barns
will be put up, each 4Ox100. The lum-
Der used in these Will be used in put
ting up a permanent barn next year
if the appropriation for this purpose
gets through the next legislature.
Four days of fast horse races and
the closing of the week with auto
races in which Sir Haugdal will fea-
ture the Workman shows, a large num-
4 Der of excellent concessions, splendid
free vaudeville acts and the master
piece of spetacles, Mystic China" put
on by Thearle Duffield, will constitute
the entertainment for this year fair,
making an all around balanced pro-
gram.

SEASE FOUND GUILTY
 SENTENCED TO CHAIR
N Notorious Moonshiner Who Killed Baxter County Farm
 CT Gets Death Sentence

Nth. Home, May 29.-Her- bert Sease, charged with mur- der, May }, in the south part of the county, near Buffalo, of K. H. Davidson, was sentenced in circuit court this morning by Judge Pope to death in the electric chair. August 15 was named as the date of execution.
 A motion for a new trial was overruled and an appeal was taken to the supreme Court.
 Sease, whose trial took place Friday and Saturday of last week, was found guilty of first degree murder by the jury, which made it's report at 9:30 Sunday morning. The case went to the jury early Satur- day night.
 The trial of Sease, member of a well known Baxter county family, attracted countrywide interest. Large crowds at tended the trial and there was a great throng in the courtroom Saturday night up to II o'clock when the jury reported it was unable to agree and was dis missed under guard until Sun- day morning. There was an- other crowd in the courtroom when the verdict was returned.
 Sease seemed little perturb- ed by the verdict, which means death unless his appeal to the Supreme Court secures him reversal. Davidson, the mur- dered man, came to Baxter county about a year ago from the North. He was shot from ambush while at work on his farm.
 Sease is a notorious dispenser of moonshine liquor, and Sease's belief that Davidson had given or would give infor- maiton about Sease's liquor deals is believed to have been the motive for the killing.

MRS. GALLOWAY DEAD

Mrs. R. M. Galloway died at her home here Thursday night about midnight, following an illness of several days from | complication of troubles.
 Mrs. Galloway had been a member of the Baptist church for a number of years and al- ways took an active part in church affairs.
 As a tribute to her untiring energy and loyalty, it must be said that credit for the erec- tion of the present Baptist church building in Newark is due largely to Mrs. Galloway and Mrs. J. P. Magness who were among the first members of the church at this place and who for a number of years were among the most active energetic and loyal church workers in the community, and how much credit Is due the in- fluence of those tWQ good women in Newark ag a time when Christian influences were most needed, only/the final reckoning of eternity can tell.
 Among us all, Mrs. Galloway stood always as woman of culture, refinement and sympa- thy, g kind neighbor, a devoted mother, a true friend, and a woman of heroic mold who bravely met the stern require ments, realities and dissapoint- ments of life.
 Gone from the sight of neighbors and friends but in the home her life and her love and influence are stongerr than death. She is still the mother of the two dear children upon whom she dotted with such motherly fondness and pride. And in life or in death, in the entire category of human ex- perience, there is no word, thought or deed comparable with mother
 Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at 2::30, Rev. J. l.. Brown and Rev. J. E.. Shell conducting the services. Burial was at Blue Springs.
 She is survived by her hus- band, one daughter, Mrs. w. D. Hinson, and one son, F. l.. Galloway.

GETS JUDGMENT FOR
 CATTLE SOLD BY TOWN
Gus Blythe Brings Suit For Cattle Impounded And Sold
 by City Marshal

Gus Blythe who lives a short distance west of town brought suit against the town of New ark and V. L. Pascoe Jr. and w. c. Edwards for a COW and a heifer calf which were im- pounded by the city marshal some time ago and sold.
 The COW and calf were found running at large on the streets and were taken up by the mar shal and impounded. No own er being found, the cattle were sold by the marshal. The COW was bought by w. c. Edwards and the heifer was purchased by V. L. Pascoe Jr.
 Mr. Blythe thought the cat tie had strayed off and it was not until several days after they were sold that he learned that they had been taken up by the marshal and sold.
 He immediately brought suit for their recovery and the case was tried in Squire Burt's court Wednesday.
 MT. Blythe's attorney attack ed the legality of he sale of the cattle on the ground that the sale was not advertised in newspaper as provided by law.
 He was awarded judgment for the value of the cattle sold and $15 damages. The value of the heifer was placed at Sl7.50, with $5 damages. The value of the COW was fixed at $30 and he was given judg- ment for this amount and $10 damages.
 The law provides before impounded stock can be sold, they must be advertised in some newspaper. It has been the custom to post notice of the sale of impounded stock, and the notices were posted in the case, but the marshal fail ed to publish the notice of sale in a newspaper.
 J. R. Alexander was attor- ney for Mr. Blythe, while s. C. Knight represented the town.
