SW|VDLE SCHEME
LEADS To ARREST
SERMlLION MAN CONFESSES TO
USING UNITED STATES MAILS
TO DEFRAUD.

Vermilion, Sept. 22-Jonas Le-
dene. of this city, who for the past
six months has baffled postal inspec-
tors in using the mail to defraud,
mas at last been apprehended.
Ledene has been using a rather
clever scheme although the total
amount garnered by his scheme is
less than 500 for the six months
period.
Using fictious names Ledene has
ordered goods from mail order and
catalogue houses and upon notices
of receipt of the goods in the diff
ferent towns given as his address he
has presented checks on banks in
Vermilion, Beresford and Center
Vile as payment.
1t was not until last week when
he presented himself for some goods
at Meckling that the postal authori-
ties had any line on his workings
They then followed him to his home
here and after being questioned by
George Kempker. sheriff of Clay
county, Ledene confessed. He has
received goods at eVrmilion, Beres-
ford, Meckling and Burbank.
His preliminary hearing will MOI
take place for some time as the fed
eral commissioner at Yankton is In
the Black Hills hearing cases. LIE,
dene was paroled to the sheriff here
until such arraignment takes place.

Pays SOL for
Three Chickens

Watertown, Sept. 22-Despite the
fact that the fields of South Dakota
now offer an appetizing dinner of
roast prairie chicken to all hunters
who have the skill to go out and
find and shoot them, items of ex-
pense incident to the procuring of
the toothsome hen are sometimes
startling when one considers the in
vestment in equipment.
Yet 1t is probable few hunters
have ever paid the luxurious price
of $30.33 per bird. And that, too,
in. addition to the other costs en-
tering into the sport
Three prairie chickens, alleged to
have been killed last Thursday
two days before the opening of the
legal season--cost Leo Auxier, OF
Summit, just that price, according to
the account of his trial brought
back today by Deputy Game War

Casing Fiends
Still Operate

Flandreau, Sept. 22-The myster-
ious person or persons VINO recently
have attempted to gas residents of
Flandreau and the surrounding dis
trict are continuing their operations.
The latest to be attacked by the us
ers of gas were Mr.. and Mrs. Lester
Ramsdeli, who reside on farm sew
eral miles southeast of the city.
About midnight the mysterious
person or persons climbed the porch
of their home and threw a quantity
of gas into the room on the second
floor i'm which they were sleeping.
The gas fell on the floor, the fumes
being described as terrible.
In making their escape one of the
parties fell from the porch and this
awakened Mr.. and Mrs. Ramsdell
Ramsdell went outside to investi-
gate, but could find no one. He did
discover, however, that his auto had
been tampered with, but the thieves
were unable to steal ii because he
had taken the precaution to remove
some of the parts the night before.
The frequent instances of gassine
have alarmed many residents and
everything possible is being done Il
capture those responsible.

S|DEL|CHT OF
ARG0VAUT MINE
LOVE TALE 80 REVEALED BY
THE DISASTER.

Jackson, Cal, Sept. 22--The bod
les of the Al Argonaut miners are
coming out of the ground Arrange
ments are being made for inquest
and for funerals The story has
been told.
There is but one thing left to tell,
the love story of Charley Fitzgerald
one of the AZ, and Emily Brown
story SO much part of the trag-
edy that it will always be remem-
bered with the Argonaut disaster.
Fitzgerald lived for many years in
Jackson with his wife. They had
two children, Donald and Janet,
Donald IL 9 years old and Janet is
:, One day Mrs. Fitzgerald left her
husband and children and IL was a
long time that the boy and girl wait
ed until Emily came to mother them.
Emily fell in love with Charley.
She went to live with him She
braved everything that she might
care for him and mis- cniidren-and
there was nothing too brave. The
called her Mrs. Fitzgerald.
Six months they lived thus. Then
the fire broke out in the Argonaut
mine and trapped Fitzgerald and his
46 comrades. The charity workers
came to Jackson to comfort the rel
atives of the AT, and gave them such
{ i'd as they needed. They, too,
treated Emily as though she were
Mrs. Fitzgerald--until the real Mrs.
Fitzgerald came back to Jackson.
Mrs. Fitzgerald's coming made a
difference in Emily's position. The
pay check that was to have gone 10
Emily did not go to her. 1t was
held up. If there is not litigation,
it will go to the widow. The money
to be awarded by the state industrial
accident commission will not go to
Emily. Mrs. Fitzgerald made 1t clear
| that she wanted the money, not fOI
herself, but for her children. Incl.
dentally, she took the children away
from Emily. Now, in some vague
manner, Emily began to be treateJ
| as an outcast, and she shut herself
up. Only Mrs. Murphy, next door
saw anything of her during the las
| few weeks of the search for tbs
bodies. Mrs. Murphy and Emily
were out at the mine last nigh
| when the news came in. Mrs. Muir
phys husband, coming up from tn,
sepulcher, broke it gently. Emil.
went home without word, withou
a tear. She had hoped that Charley
would come back from the dead Blu
with Charley gone from her forevel
and Charley's children and ever
Charley's name taken from her, sh'
felt the end had come. She swal
lowed a bottle of lysol.
Mrs. Murphy had suspected tha
Emily would try suicide, so she hat
waited a little while and then haS
gone into Emily's home. She arriv
ed just after Emily had swallowed
the stuff-in time to get a docto
and save the girls life. Emily will
recover, the doctor says. Mrs. Muir
ply believes the girl will go back t.
her people, and will never com
back to Jackson.
