It will be remembered that some time ago the Swedish-Lutherans and the Norwegian-Lutherans, combined together and purchased the old Episcopal church property on Wall street, paying therefore the some of $1,500.

Of this amount it is claimed that the Swedes paid $1,200, and the Norwegians the balance. Under the agreement by which the property was purchased, the two branches of the Lutheran church were to alternate in holding services in-the building. This agree ment, so the story goes, was lived up to for a year or two, when at one of the annual meetings of the joint I church society the Norwegians, tak ing advantage of the fact that they were in the majority, elected the board of trustees, and after that, at though the Swedes had paid the larg er part of the money for the proper ty, they were refused admission and the use of the church building. The matter was taken into the courts, the case coming for adjudication before Circuit Judge Moore, who decided in favor of the contention of the Swedes. The case was appealed to the supreme court, and the decision of Judge Moore sustained.

Yesterday, on the strength of the decision, the Swedish congregation, under the pastorship of Rev. Holzt, attempted to hold services in the church, but when they reached there they found the doors closed and barred on them and they were refused admission. The matter will now be called to the attention of the courts again, and the njunction, which had been issued against the Norwegians, ordering them not to interfere with the hold- ng of services by the Swedes, asked to be sustained by the proper officials.

The Chadron band of 20 pieces, under the leadership of Leo Dornan, left Saturday night on the 13:06 Northwest ern tor (Jmaha, accompanied by many of their friends. The run from Chadron to Omaha was uneventful save for a few pleasant incident that are bound to arise, when a good jolly bunch gets together. The party arrived in Omaha Sunday evening and was met at the train by Mayor Dahl-man, who lived at Chadron some two or three years ago.

A special trolley was awaiting the party and after a short ride to the mayor's residence, the band was again playing and Mr. and Mrs. Dahlnian, after a short ad dress of thanks for the attention shown them, asked the tired and travel worn Westerners into their pacious home to partake of an ele gant luncheon that was awaiting them.

Bonesteel bwhoys and the Indian bunch from Chadron threw in together and gave band concert at the Carnival grounds Friday night.

KAUFFMAN'S CASE Star Witness for the Prosecution has Disappeared Sioux City Times, 6: J. A. Ross, ditor of the Sioux Falls Soo Critic, passed through the city en route to is home with S. H. Cochran, an at torney of Logan, this state, whom he has hired, on behalf of a committee at Sioux Falls, to work on the cele brated Kauffman murder case in the South Dakota town.

Mr. Ross and Mr. Cochran left on the evening train for Sioux Falls, where the lawyer will consult with the local state's attorney regarding the prosecution of the wife of the rich brewer, who is charged with causing the death of her pretty serving maid last spring. "I want Mr. Cochran on the case," said Mr.

Ross, "because he is outside any political or religious clique in the town and will act as a disinterested party and thereby accomplish what I fear local attorneys, with friendships and acquaintances, could not." The Sioux Falls editor who is waging a fight through the columns of his newspaper in behalf of the poor Hungarian parents of the girl, had a fistic encounter with Nye Phillips, sheriff of Minnehaha county, and former warden of the penitentiary, on the streets of Sioux Falls. A reporter for the Critic called up the sheriff early in the evening and asked as to the whereabouts of the state's star witness in the case, Peter Ericson, the Kauffman hired man who at the preliminary hearing swore that he saw Mrs. Kauffman brutally assault her servant and pour boiling water on her prostrate form aftei having felled her to the floor with a blow of her fist. The sheriff replied over the phone that he did not know where the hired man was, and added the information that it was none of the reporter's business. Later in the evening the newspaper man and the sheriff met on the street, and the later asked Ross what he meant by demanding of him the whereabouts of the state's witness.

The editor replied that it was his right to know, that track ought to be kept of the important witness that justice might be done in the trial of the case at the November term of court. Discussion followed and Mr. Ross took occasion to tell the sheriff that he had no tight to allow Mrs. Kauffman to occrpy her own home instead of a cell ia the city jail after she had been indictrd for the crime. Sheriff Phillips replied that he knew his business.

Rosa said that he knew something about law, the sheriff told him that he could not tell him what he should and what he sould not do, and then before Ross was prepared the former wtrdei stride him a Haw. Ten Square Miles of San Bemadino Valley, California, Burned Over by a Prairie Fire, and Much Damagi is Done Property Towns and Villages Threatened, Barns and Farm Houses Destroyed and the Standard Oil Company Suffers to Extent of 190,000 LOS ANGELES, Oct. 8. From eight to ten square miles of San Bemadino valley was burned over by a fire which started in some brush on Friday afternoon and which continued through Saturday and Sun day, fanned by a high wind. Cattle have been cremated, barns and farm buildings, hay and grain stacks, fences and crops destroyed.

The Standard Oil company has suffered loss of $50,000, while hundreds of miles of fencing has been burned Several villages and towns have been damaged, and for a time it looked as though the entire valley would be swept by the fire. It is hard at this time to estimate the loss, but every farmer and ranchman living in the district burned over has suffered al most a total loss of their possessions IS SILVER ANNIVERSARY Twenty-Fifth Annual Convention of South Dakota Baptists Brookings, S. Special: The sil ver anniversary convention of South Dakota Baptists was called to order the First Baptist church in this city Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock by the president, Hon. J. F.

Schrader, of Rapid City, with already over 100 delegates present. The first session of the convention was given over to the anniversary feature of the gathering, at which time. Rev. T. M.

Shanafelt, U. of Huron, the venerable "Baptist bishop of South Dakota" gave an entertaining history of the development of the Baptist churches in the state during the past thirty-two years from a group of 9 churches with 230 members to 104 churches at the present time with 6,200 members, and with church property to the value of and a record for benevolence of over $1,000,000. Reminiscences of Pioneers Not the least interesting part of the program was that assigned to reminiscences of pioneers. Of the seven surviving ministers who were present at the organization of the convention twenty-five years ago four are in attendance at this anniversary Rev. J.

P. Coffman, of Kansas City; Rev. E. M. Tpstein, of Chicago; Rev.

V. B. Conklin, of Canton, and Rev. Nils Tyschen, of Los Angeles. Each one of these pioneers made the trip to Brookings with the expectation of being the only one present who was a witness of that first convention.

Dr. Epstein was the Baptist pastor at Yankton until 1882, when he resigned his charge to become the first president of the state university at Vermillion, and on October 12 of that year he assembled in the old Clay county court house the first classes of that institution. Dr. Ep stein is a native of Russia, and is a linguist of no mean ability and an enthusiast in all matters pertaining to education. Though nearly 80 years of age, the doctor's mental powers are still unimpaired, as was evidenced in the ministers' conference yesterday by his masterful discussion of a theological paper.

Drink on Way to Cemetery Rev. Mr. Coffman was called to the church at Elk Point in the fall of 1S73 when the only railroad in the state was from Sioux City to Yankton and the fare was 6 cents a mile. One of his first experiences in his new work was the conducting of a funeral in a neighboring town when the procession was stopped for half an hour for refreshments. That was not a Baptist funeral, he hastened to explain.

Rev. Mr. Conklin was a pioneer of Lincoln county where he preached from 1873 to 1890. While holding his pastorate he conducted the first school in Elk Point and was county superintendent several terms. Rev.

Mr. Tyschen spent his working years among the Danish settlements in Clay and Turner counties, beginning in 1876. Rev. Jacob Olson, another pioneer related that his pay for the first nine months of his ministry in the early days was 50 cents and his living was "bread and milk and milk and bread." The second year of his pastorate he received fion for his labors. Officers of the convention elected for the ensuing year are: President, Hon.

J. H. Schrader, Rapid City; first vice president. Rev. Geo.

E. Morphy, Brookings; second vice president, J. J. Allen, Sioux Falls; corresponding secretary. Rev.

W. King, Dead-wood; recording secretary, Rev. T. M. Shanafelt, D.

HOMESTAKE VETERANS Banner Presented by Mrs. T. J.

Grier Saturday Evening Saturday evening the Homestake Veterans association met in regular session, and there was something more happening than the regular routine. After the minutes of the previous meeting had been read and approved, a communication was read from Lead lodge 747, B. P. O. offering the Veterans the use of its hall for meeting purposes.

The offer of the Elks was accepted, and the meetings of the association will hereafter be held in that hall. Veteran T. J. Grier, who was present, was called upon and gave in detail a very interesting account of his travels in the British Isles and on the continent of Europe. Mr.

Grier has an excellent memory and his descriptions of places visited and experiences had while on foreign soil were pleasant, true to life and instructive. His story of his travels were very interesting and listened to with close attention. Mrs. T. J.

Grier who was also present, then stepped forward, and presented a beautiful painted banner, emblematic of the society to the members. In making the presentation Mrs. Grier did so in a few appropriate and well time remarks, and her words, well chosen and direct, were greatly appreciated by the members of the association. On motion a vote of thanks was tendered Mrs. Grier for her beautiful gift, and President Blackstone, who, on behalf of the association, received the banner in his speech of acceptance, thanked Mrs.

Grier for it, and expressed the high regard of the memberj for her and their great appreciation of the gift. On motion, it was resolved that the vote of thanks be engrossed and presented to Mrs. Grier. Dr. J.

W. Freeman, after the applause which had followed the vote of thanks and the presentation of the banner, then presented the association with an American flag, a beautiful patriotic emblem of silk. In making the presentation the doctoi indulged in a few patriotic and appropriate remarks, which seemed to touch a responsive chord in the hearts of his listeners. President Blackstone received: the banner on behalf of the association, thanking the doctor for his beautiful gift. It was also ordered that the vote of thanks passed by the association be engrossed and a copy presented to the doctor.

James Conroy and Charles Eck-lund were appointed standard bearers, and on parades will have charge of and carry the banners. Several members of the association then arose and made speeches, in which thanks for the banner were given Mrs. Grier, and remarks appropriate for the occasion made. The meeting then adjourned. It was one of the largest attended meetings that has been held by the associatioa since its organization, 110 members being present, and everyone of them evinced great interest in the proceedings.
