Huron—.ludge Tayloi put himself on
record by expressing his regret that so
many young men should be preswnt in
a court room, where some of the
stories told bv the witnesses were of
the moat revolting character. Judge
Taylor said in strong terms, that the
bearing of these cases, while necessary
for the clearing of tne social atmo
sphere, were not such as students in
public schools and college would pro
fit by attending. His remarks were
ao clear that the absence of young
people at the other sessions was no
ticeable.

Fairfax—Henry Harvey, a horse

and made a pathetic appeal for mercy.
He insisted that ne was innocent, but
that he was among strangers, had no
money and was unable to prove his in

mercy of the court. He asked that the
record be corrected and his name en
rolled as Ralph Howard, the name un­

Chicago, De?. 16. —Would yon marry
a girl to go oofc into a new country
And build a borne with you. with a
chance of having to live for the first
five years of your married life on farms
separated by miles of praiiie?
Well, that it- one of the problems
presented for the consideration, and
possible solution, of the Rosebud asso

In all of cosmopolitan Chicago
there probably was no meeting half
as strange as that held in a little lodge
room at 112 Fifth avenue. Men and

ness men, street car conductors, wid
ws, professiona" men, farmers, steno
graphers, clerks, people differing radi
cally in every imaginable particular,
the winners of the drawing for home
steads on the Kosebud reservation, met
there. Sixty farm winners, many ac
ompanied by their wives and daugh
ters, attended the meeting.
Committees of men, fited by long ex
perience to deal with certain problems,
were formed. The chosen expert? will
onsider carefully matters of agricul
ture—what to plant, when to plant,
bow to take care of it matters of
transportation, how to pool shipments
in carload lots and thus reduce rail
road rates: how to make further reduc
tions by co-operative teaming matters
of building what to build how to
build the possibility of living intents
or portable buildingsjthe cost of ma
terials matters of location how to get
good lands though having high num
bers bow to cut down surveyors' ex
penses how to locate in "strings of
forties how to "pocket'' valuable

AWARDEDJAHA6ES
Young Woman Recovers Dam
ages for Insults at
a Dance.
Springfield, Dec. 16.—Oaa of the
most sensational damage suits ever
tried in the courts of South Dakota was
disposed of )during a recent term of
-:tate circuit court In Bonhomme
county.
The plaiatiff in the action was Miss
Amanda Skoagland, who sought to re
cover damages in the sum of #5,000
from Lee Michel, a prominent business
man of Springfield, S. D. After hear
ing the evidence in the case the jury
warded Miju Skoagland damages in
tbe sum of #2,12.".
The suit was the outgrowth of an
episode which occurred some months
ago. Michel is the owner of a public
hall in Springfield, and at the time of
the occurrence which terminated in
the damage suit a dance was being
held in the hall. Among the guests
was Miss Skoagland.
It was alleged that dm ing the pro
gress of the dance Michel appeared in
the nail in an lutoxicated condition
and after being there a short time
asked Miss Skoagland to dance with
him. She refused, when Michel is al
leged to have lost his temper and gave
vent to his wrath by denouncing the
young woman before the large number
of persons who ware attending the
danoe.
The matter is not yet ended, for
Michel's attorneys will ask for a new
trial, and, if this ie refused, doubtless
will carry the case to the state supreme
court.
LASSOESlAN
Wqpan Almost Beats Ranch
man to Death for
Insults.
Buffalo, Wyo, Dec. 10.—Herlnjrt Q.
jenayns.a ranchman residing near this
place, probably will think twice before
he again attempts to insult a child.
Because he attempted to take advan
tage of the 14-year-old daughter of
Mrs. Fred Graf,residing on a neighbor
ing ranch, he was lassoed, hog tied and
almost beaten to death by the indig
nant mother of the girl.
The punishment of the ranchman by
Mrs. Graf was one of the most sensa
tioiial incidents in the histor of John
son county. When Mrs. Graf learned
that he had insulted her daughter she
ordered her hired man to drive her to
tbe Jenbyns ranch.
Arriving there they were informed
that the ranchman had departed for
Sheridan in company with another
man. Mrs.Graf immediately followed
and overtook Jenkyns and his compan
ion on Massacre hill. Whil« the hired
man held her horses Mrs. Graf com
pelled the ranchman and his compan
ion to halt by threatening them with a
six shooter. She then made Jenkyns
alight from hip wagon and ordered his
companion to drive on. When tbe
other man had gone some distance Mrs.
Graf uncoiled a lariat and proceeded
to rope Jenkyns. The ranchman pro
tested until a bullet from tbe woman's
revolver clipped a piece out of one of
bis ears.
Mrs. Graf proceeded to bog tie him,
and then belattored bim with a nirt
until be was almost dead. Jenkyns
shrieked for mercy,but the mother paid
no attention to his cries, and continued
*the beating nnf.ii she feared further
punishment would kill her victim.
While the beating was neing ad win in
tered Mrs. Graf's hired man sat in tbe
wagon and made no attempt to assist
or interfere.
Finally satisfied that the punish
merit of the ranchman had been suffi
cienr, Mrs. Graf left him and drove
back to her home. Jeukyu's com pan
ion picked him up and drdare to Ban
ner.

of Red Falls, la., indict the card table,
the theater and the dance-"the trinity i
of social evils." In polite language,
and yet in terms so plain as to leave no
doubt as to his meaning,the reverend
gentleman accused tbe social set of i
gambling every time they played cards
for stakes, and declared that they sent
their graduates direct to the gambling
dens to become the prey of the knights
of tbe green cloth. His arraignment
of the theater was on tbe charge of
immorality in the players and the pre
senting for approval and applause of
the baser instincts and passions of life,
But it was bis scathing denuncia

mony from dancing masters, doctors. I

Thing This Year
This year the hi^h living costs, the depression and the holiday
gifts will leave little money to many fathers, sons, brothers
and sweethearts with which to buy holiday clothing for them
selves. Prosperity and Confidence have surely come back,
but it will take a little time for everybody to get caught up,
you know. Meanwhile, a lot of unselfish men will be forcedi
to rub along wUh old garments and accessories indefinitely.
Friends and relatives should appreciate that after a year of
depression a lot of fellows would rather have a few new
things to wear than the usual assortment of holiday gift rub
bish. If your friends and your people are not in the million
aire class give them something sensible this year, something
wearable.
