CIRCUIT COURT CONVENES:
MINUS OUT JUSTICE
The July term of circuit court con
vened Tuesday with Judge Anderson
presiding.
In the case of State vs. J. W.
Tannehill the jury returned a verdict
of "guilty" after bein.gr out 2 hours.
The case was opened Wednesday
morning. Mr. Tannehill refused to
"have an attorney appointed by the
court, asking that he be allowed to
plead his own case. He was charged
wi.h the desertion of his three little
children, all under four years of age,
'one a baby of three months at the
time he left. The testimony of Mrs.
Tannehill, her son, Lawrence Mollitor,
.a boy by her first husband, and Mr.
Mclnioy. a brother living near Revillo
with whom she has been making her
home hince laH November showed
thai Mrs. Tannehill had had no assis
tance for the support of the children
They have been cared for thru the
kindness of her brother. In his cross
examination and arguments for his
defense Mr. Tannehill strayed from
the points of the case and the court
was forced to remind him.
Chi i.-t Peterson living near Stock
holm, and Wm. Hansen of Milbank
entered a plea of guilty of petty lar
ceny Wednesday merning and were
given of $100 fine and 30 days in the
county jail. They were arrested and
charged wii.h the stealing of 10 auto
mobile tires and 300 pounds of sugar
from a freight car. Hanson was in
the employ of the railroad here and
Peterson lived on a farm ,where the
stolen goods were located.
The first civil case on the calendar
was taken up Wednesday afternoon
and was being continued at Ihe time
of this writing. It is the case of
A me Pikshall vs. Petev Enenga an-l
it concerns the sale of a farm in Kil
born townshpi made in February 1020.
A Letter From the Hospital
iibanl:. S. D., July IS, 1!21.
To the good people of Milbank and
Vicinity
We believe it is pretty generally
known just how we were induced to
come here and build a hospital, but
for the benefit of those who may not
foe familiar with the faets, we will en
deavor to relate same.
The conditions surrounding the
building of a hospital are generally
to the effect that the people of com
munity furnish at least half of the
money required, and quite often they
agree to raise considerable more.
However, in this instance it was agre
ed that this community was to furnish
the ground ami $10,000.00, and we
agreed to furnish $40,000.00 ,which
•we believe to be the largest percent
age of the amount required ever
agreed to be furnished by any institu
tion of this kind.
As you know, the building is erect
ed ami has been operating for the
pact several months, but on account
of existing conditions, we were oblig
ed to ourselves expend over $50,000.00
instead of $40,000.60 as originally
agreed. The ground cost about $4,
000.00 which with the $10,000.00
makes $14,000.00 to have been fur
nished by the people here. To date
only about $6,000.00 hat been raise*I
by this community, and Mr. W. A.
Tighe has been *ent here for the
purpose of getting the balance to
gether, and, we believe *nd know that
he will be given the co-eperation and
assistance of all tl« jpood people of
this community.
As a matter of information, for any
who perhaps are not familiar with
our methods of operation, would say
that we never have any surplus funds
on hand, and -therefore were obliged
to borrow the $50,000.00 already ex
pended by us on this building. Owing
to the fact that our nui*es receive no
remuneration but their actual food
an" clothing r,ecesar\\ we are in a
position to always operate at a pro
fit, which, however you will appreciate
cannot be sufficiently large to take
care of any but our own direct obliga
tion::, s they have been stretched
really beyond the limit. While we
realize fully the conditions as they
have existed, we also feel that you
will appreciate our position, and under
the circumstances we re sure you
will agree that we are more than jus
tified in believing that we will have
the co-operation of everyone in this
drive to clean up the small balance
promised us.
Very sincerely yours,
St. Bernard's Providence Hospital.
(Signed) Sr. Mary
Superintendent.

BOOSTERS WILL BACH
GRANT COUNTY FAIR
At a meeting of the oilicers and di
rectors of the Fair association held
Tuesday evening it was decided that
they would accept the proposition'of
the Booster association which was a
guarantee to make up a deficit of the
expense of running the fair up to
$2,COO. In return the boosters are to
own and control all concessions and
amusements and the revenue from
Ihcm, which will be applied to the defi
cit, should there be any. This is
practically the same agreement as
last year.
The Booster meeting was held last
Thursday evening and the proposition
and contract drawn up to submit to
the Fair meeting Tuesday night.
Another meeting of the Fair officials
is called for Saturday evening at
which time the premium list, list of
attractions, prizes and other matters
will be taken up and settled. Several
free attractions have already been
contracted for and with the combined
efforts of the two organizations back
ing the fair, it should be a financial
success.
The countv fair should be one of
the annual successes of the county and
every citizen should turn out and hefj
'ke it a success. A good fair boosts
the county and makes it a better place
to live in. it. incieases the value of
county property and advertises it as
can make it better. Talk for the fair
enter some of the products and plan
to attend the fair.

Two Hurt By Automobile
August Antleman and 14-year-old
son, Melvin, wTere struck and quite
seriously Injured by a car Tuesday
evening just a short distance west of
tbe city.
Th^ accident occurred when Mr. An
tleman and Melvin had topped their
car along side of the road and were
hunting for a knife. Two cars com
ing from opposite directions, had to
passed the Antleman or near where
they were looking for the lost article.
Walter Pauli. in watching his and the
other car, failed to see the two along
the road and struck them. Melvin
was rolled over and dra/ged a consid
erable distance until Ihe machine stop
ped. Sir. Antleman saw what would
happen, and being unable to escape,
grasped the fender and radiator and
received only a few cuts and
Mr. Pauli took the injured men to
the hospital where their wounds were
dressed. It was found that Melvin
suffered two broken ribs, a punctured
lung and other internal injuries. He
is resting nicely at this time and it i
hoped he v. ill entirelv recover,

Nassau Trims Milbank Team
By a combination of good playing
on their part and a bunch of errors
on Milbank's part, Nassau won the
third baseball game played at Nassau
Sunday. The locals played a loose
game, errors in the infield contribut
ing generously to the abilities of the
Minnesota team to score. This is the
third game, Milbank copping the first
two without much treble. A good
sized crowd witnessed the game.
The line-up:
Milbank—Krause. Prschong, SCI.PIJ,
Markle, Shea. Schneck, DeWerd, Dau

Former Resident Shot
A large number of Milbank people
will remember the Steiber family, who
lived here some few years ago, who
moved to Mora, Minn., in 11)1(5.
Sherman Steiber was a rural mail
carrier for some time out of Milbank.
At Mora Lincoln, the 16-year-old son
was accidently drowned while swim
ming. The family then moved to
Madison, S. P., w here Mr. Steiber died
very suddenly of heart failure. A
year later Mrs. Steibe.* passed away
after a seige of the flu. We have re
ceived a report from Madison now
that Henry, another son, was acci
dently shot thru the abdomnen and
died at a Madison hospital. Henry
was a rural carrier there and it seems
.that one of the postal employees wes
sj,ov.ir,, him
a gun, which he was
gun,
trying to sell him, which accidently
discharged and shot him.

Tells of N. D. Wind Storm
Jack Nolan returned from Oaks,
N. P., Sunday night after spending
two weeks visiting relatives. His wife
stayed for a longer visit. Jack says
that thri storm of the first part of the
July left a trail of devestation 18
miles wide thru that country. The
pi^ rents and brothers of Mrs. Nolan
suffered the loss of their farm build
ings and equipment totaling about
$2^.000 partly covered by insurance.
For miles around there is not a bam
to be seen, and practically the onlv
building left standing is the home of
Mrs. Nolan's parents. The wind lit
erally pushed this building so that
it stands at an angle now, like the
famous leaning tower of Pisa. The
rafters in the attic are pulled loo^c
so the house will have to be rebuilt.
In spite of the heavy wind, which
which was estimated to be traveling
at a velocity of 90 miles an hour, and
the fac-t that the grain is flat on thii
ground the country will have one of
the best harvests they have ever had.
A new invention added to the bind
ery enables the harvesting machine
to rnise and cut fhe grain so that
it can be saved. The corn is look
ing fine and prospects are for a bum
per crop.

SHOOTING FATAL TO
HOLD-UP VICTIM SAT.
Forty-eight hours after he waa
held up and shot by a fellow passenger
in a box car, Harry Owen, whose name
is William Brewis, died at tha
hospital in spite of all efforts to sav«
his life. His mother, Mrs. C. E.
Brewis, and sister, Mrs. Helen
Olson, both of Wheaton, 111., arrived
just a few hours before his death.
The thots of seeing his mother no
doubt kept him alive for some time.
Otto Schneck, Harold Mittelstaedt
and Carl Pryts were aubpeoned as ft
coroncrs jury, which met immediately
after death was announced by the
doctors.
The affair, a few details of which
were given last week's Herald
Advance. took place on a west-bound
freight train just as it was pulling
into the yards here. Steve Kozlow,
who was the fourth man in the car
and was held up at the same time, waa
taken "nto custody at Webster togeth
er with all others on the train and
held as a su: pect. Sheriff Wikon im
mediately went to Wobster and brat
him bach here. The following is faia
story of the shooting.
"We were in the car sleeping and
the first thing I knew 1 heard some
one yell, 'Hands up!' I stood up and
put up my hands and then the fellow
with the gun fired at Owen. Owen
fell to the floor and rolled over and
the fellow came for me. I didn't
think of anything but that great bier
38 revolver pointed at m«. He search
ed me and took $1.48, a jack-knife and
some tobacco I had. The other
searched Owen, but couldn't do a
good job and failed to find the $20
bill Owen had. Then they said to
Owen, 'Guess you'd better get out
of here' and Owen said 'I guess I'd
better.' Owen climed out and ihe train
went to Summit. There the hold-ups
got out and sa'd that if I got out
they would shoot me and I stayed in
and went to Webster."
Stevo is a Russian Pole and seemed
as tho he were telling a straight
story. He was taken to the hospital
where Owen talked with him. He
was used to identifiy a suspect held
Saturday, but who was able to prove
an* alibi.
Two men were arrested in the yards
after the passenger went east, who
were held as possible suspects. They
were taken to the hospital Friday
and Owen declared they were the men
Shortly after he said they were not,
and seemed confused. They were re
leased and fled from the city before
the eye-witness, Steve, arrived. It is
quite possible that the two men were
the murderers, but all effort to trace
them and bring them back to face
Steve have failed. A third man was
taken by the Summit constable and
brought heie Saturday who answered
the descriptions given. He said that
Thursday night fee hud «lept in a
Wate town hotel, and his storv was
found to be true, when the hotel
clerk found the name registered and
gave a description of the man.
Owen was taken to the hospital,
where it was found that the bullet
had entered just below the heart, go
ing thru the stomach, liver and other
organs. The fact that so many part.*
were injured made recovery practi
cally impossible from the first. Word
was sent to his mother living at
Wheaton, who arrived Saturday after
noon, just two hours before he died.
The mother said that altho her boy
had not been home for four years he
had always been a good man. He was
32 vears of age. They returned with
i the body Monday afternoon.
Thi-* death is the second one in the
state of the same kind. Henderson,
a young ex-serviceman was shot and
killed near Woolsey, when lie- refused
to can .' a l.W.W. card. Every train,
both freight and passenger carries a
large number of free passengers.
JVttoievous complaints have been re
ceived from various parts of the state
and the state sheriff has issued orders
.to-keen a strict watch ever thenr'and
take whatever measures mav seem
