DESPERATE CONVICT
Arraigned in Sioux Falls Court
,§m Assault onStewwd
Gill.
flionx Falls, Dec. 17.
With fifteen
jNMrs of a twenty-veur sentence for
mucler yet to seive, Robert Ames was
arraigned in two courts yesterday,
charged with assanlt with a deadly
weapon with intent to kill. Ames ia
the convict who attacked I. L. Hill,
steward at the penitentiary. in an
effort to
escape,stabbing
niiu five times
and leaving him in a critical condition
from which he is not yet recovered.
Tbe action against Ames is brought
by State's Attormy A. F. Crr, on
charges tiled by the state board of
charities and corrections. Heariug
was first in Police Jndge Wheelock s
court, where preliminary examination
was waived. Aiues stated in this court
that he Lad no attorney and
110
choice
of one, so W. U. Porter was sent foi.
In prison stripes, showing his rank
as an untrnsted prisoner, handcuffed,
and wearing an "Oregon boot' on his
right leg, Allies was brought from the
penitentiary on the hill to face the
charges. Brazen and careless of his
position, Ames chewed gum incessantly
during his bearing, laughing at the re
marks of the attorneys.
After waiving preliminary examina
tion in the auditorium police court.
Ames was taken to the circuit court
at the court house, where he was ar
raigned.
On Oct. 2. 1907, Ames, with a forged
order for a broom, went to the peniten
tiary steward. Cunningly planned his
idea was to get I. L. Gill, tne steward
in the east cell hall, from where the
convict might cut bis way to freedom,
if he succeeded in silencing Gill.
Aimed with a knife, Ames stealthily
crept after Gil1, as toe steward walked
into the dark compartment to get the
broom. Unaware of the convict's pre
sence, Gill was tiist stabbed in the
back, and turned to be locked in a
death's grip, and repeatedly stabbed by
the desperate prisoner.
Hearing, from his office above, the
nnnsul senffliog. Clerk Edwards ran
through the dining room, downstairs,
through tbe barber shop, calling one of
the guards to come, as there was a
fight. Edwards came upon the desper
ate struggle a minute or two lefore
the guard, and had them separated.
Guard Mctjueen, on nis arrival, grap
pled with Ames, striking his knife
from him and subduing him, while Ed
wards attended tbe injured steward.
The room was covered with toe blood
of dill, who was stabbed in five
places.
Though over fourteen months have
passed. Gill has but partially recovered
from his injuries, and plans are being
made to have him sent south for the
winter, as his prospects for regaining
his strength would be bettex'ed there.

BELIEVES HIS PLAN FEASIBLE.
Would ••cur* His Wild Birds Id
Southern States and Guild Up His
Flock by Interbreeding With Domes
tic Specie*—Good Reasons For Pre
serving Noble Game Fowl.
The advent of another Thanksgiving
Reason may see a brand new Industry
In full operation in Worcester county.
Mass., that of raising the wild species
of the great American feast day bird
under conditions of semi-domestication.
Banford E. Penniman, a Boston man,
has recently been negotiating with
several real estate brokers in Worces
ter, Mass., for the purchase of a farm
situated as near to the city as possi
ble on account of lxth the Worcester
and Boston markets and suitable for
the establishment of a large poultry
plant.
He proposes to undertake the breed
ing of the wild turkey under ordinary
farm conditions.
Domesticated poultry will also be
Aised r,t first If Mr. Pennlman's pres
ent plans are nrried into operation in
order to insure a source of revenue
while his flock of turkeys is being de
veloped. The poultry flock, however,
will be decreased in size as the turkey
flock increases, and if the experiment
proves successful the farm will be
given over to the raising of wild tur
keys almost exclusively.
Mr. rennlman, who has been em
ployed in the Boston market district
for several years, is enthusiastic over
the project and says It Is bound to
prove a winner.
Whether it will be undertaken in
Worcester county or elsewhere de
pends upon the result of the quest
now In progress for a farm property
that meets all requirements in the
matter of size, location, adaptability
and price.
A Boston Post reporter who met Mr.
Penniman while the Boston man was
on a visit to Worcester a few days ago
was given an outline of tbe proposl
tion in detail.
Mr. Penniman began by saying that
the wild turkey which in the early
colonial days was fouud lu Massa
chusetts in great numbers is today to
tally extinct in New Englaud. although
it frequents to some extent parts of
Vlrglula and Maryland.
The wild turkey is a species alto
gether different from the domesticated
bird with the white meated breast, for
which two New England states, Ver
mont and Rhode Island, are famous
and which is raised In small numbers
by many farmers in Worcester county.
One reason, and an Important one,
according to Mr. Penniman, why It
should be preserved is that it is need
ed to contribute occasionally its hardy
blood and gamy flavor to the domes
tic species by interbrvedlng. The more
or less dark meat of tbe breast of
many domestic turkeys marketed to
day said to be due to such Inter
breeding.
The wild turkey is proverbially shy
and quite generally supposed to be in
capable of domestication. This suppo
sition, however, is entirely erroneous,
according to the Boston man, who says
that as a matter of fact the bird is
naturally not much afraid of man, but
rather inclined to sociability.
In support of this claim Mr. Penni
man points out that during its stay In
Massachusetts the wild turkey ma'de
Itself at home in close proximity to
human habitations.
Mr. Penniman declares that his plan
of farming the bird is feasible and
says that authorities that claim to be
experts in such matters support his
contention and claim that it offers the
only hope for saving the great game
bird from eventually becoming abso
lutely extinct.
The wild turkey is prolific and takes
kindly to civilization. The "hen" lays
from fifteen to twenty eggs for a
clutch, but raises only one brood a
year, and a large bird would bring a
five dollar bill in the market
The large ones range from twenty
five to forty and sometimes go as high
as fifty pounds each, while those
weighing under twenty-five pounds
would bring a higher price than the
domestic species because of the dif
ferent flavor of their meat
Mr. Penniman would secure his wild
birds in the southern states, where
they are trapped for shooting clubs,
and by interbreeding them with the
domesticated species build up his
flock.
The birds resulting from such inter
breeding w«ulil be much less difficult
to raise than the domesticated ones, he
says, on account of the hardiness of
the wild turkey, which is accustomed
to live out of doors day and night the
year round.
He would leave the birds to care for
themselves as much as possible except
for seeing to it that they n$v$r suffer
for want of food.

e-rii-na as a
The month of November, in temperate regions especially, requiras of tho
human body a very radical adjustment to climatic conditions. The hot
v c:ither h:ir passed, and cold weather has taken its place. That the CIBCTJ
LATION OF BLOOD IN THE SKIN SHOULD BE FREE and active is a
matter of common knowledge. And in order that the body may be protected
against the lowering temperature a vigorous circulation of blood in the
must be maintained.
It is not so generally known, however, that the inside of the body also
needs protection. THE MUCOUS MEMBRANES OF THE BODY, that line
every passage and cavity and duct, also suffer from the change from hot to
cold weather.
A medicinal compound that gently tones up these mucous membranes,
enabling them to ADJUST TO WINTER WEATHER, is not only valuable
to a great multitude of people, but to another multitude is absolutely it—oirtfol
to health.
Whether Pernna is a medicinal compound that meets these requirements
can be judged by a hasty glance at some of its principal ingredients.
Take, for instance, hydrastis canadensis, which is an ingredient of Peruna.
The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is employed
as a cure for DEPRAVED MUCOUS MEMBRANES, not only of the nose and
he^.d, but also of the stomach and intestines, as well as other internal organs.
Hydrastis canadensis, ordinarily known as golden seal, is thus very clearly
classed by the highest authorities as a valuable remedy wherever the mucous
membranes cf the body are in need of a little medicinal help,
Cedron is also one of the principal ingredients of Peruna. It is recognised
by the Ujiited States Dispensatory and all leading works oik materia medica, as
a TONIC OF THE GREATEST VALUE. It is also an anti periodic and anti
malarial remedy, and is therefore frequently used as a SUBSTITUTE FOR
QUININE. It is a remedy of great merit, somewhat overlooked by the medi
cal profession of late, but its undoubted tonic qualities are sure to reinstate this
remedy in its original high-class rank as a safe and efficient tonic and
appetizer.
Another ingTedient of Pernna which is of manifest benefit is cnbebs.
Bartholow, in his excellent work on therapeutics, states that cubebs PRO
MOTES THE APPETITE, ASSISTS DIGESTION, and increases the circula
tion of the blood. He also goes on to recommend it for catarrh not only of the
head and pharynx, but also of the stomach, as well as the other internal organs.
LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, IS C0LLINS0NIA CANADENSIS. This
remedy, for many years has enjoyed a great reputation in southern states as a
panacea for many diseases such as dropsy, indigestion, cramp, sick headache,
and the like. Dr Scudder, a writer of great fame, also recommends thia herbal
remedy for chronic diseases of the lungs and heart
These are some of the principal ingredients of Peruna compounded into a
single remedy by skillful and experienced pharmacists. The compound has
been so devised that each remedy retains its foil therapeutic value, one assist*
iri^ the other in their beneficial action upon the human system, MAKING OF
PERUNA A VERY EFFICIENT AND VALUABLE REMEDY.
People who pass through the month of November safely and find them
selves acclimated to winter weather, generally pass through the remainder
of
the cold season without any serious difficulty. But NOVEMBER IS A CRITI
CAL MONTH. The adjustment of a large multitude
of
the exigencies of approaching winter.
No safer or more appropriate remedy than Perunt oocld be found. Taken
according to the directions on the bottle, not only woulAJtatarrhal ailments be
warded off but catarrh already acquired be corrected, ll*is with the *immrt
of knowing that we are right that we present to the public Peruna aa
IDEAL TONIC AND CATARRH REMEDY.
