and keep house. In fact I can do all kinds of work that is in a hme.
I have blue eyes, auburn hair, and a fair complexion. I am five and
a half feet tall and weigh 120 pounds. I have heard of several ranchmen in
South Dakota that were looking for wives and I want to find one. I want
a man who has a good home and one who is able to keep a woman. One who has
a kind disposition. I also want a man who does not use any intoxicating
liquors. I also want a man between 20 and 32 years old, but I do not want
a man who is over 32 years old. I also want a man whom I can trust and
love. All important matter regarding this must be addressed to Miss A.M.

====================== Dogs Lead To Arrest Of Kadoka Incendiaries ====================== |
Kadoka, SD, March 21, 1913 -- With the aid of two Mitchell bloodhounds, John Rush
and Jesse Hodges were tracked from the scene of the burning of a claim shanty
near this place. The two men had made application to N.C. Snodgrass for a
loan on their farm land, but the security did not satisfy the banker, and he refused
it. The men were incenses over his refusal, and securing a quantity
of kerosene oil they went out to his claim and, breaking open the the door, spread
the inflammable material over the interior and then seet fire to it.
A neighbor came along at about the same time and saw the men emerge from the
house, and later saw the smoke issuing from the window. With the aid of others
the house was saved. The bloodhounds were placed on the track of the
men and the animals followed them all one day and tracked the men to a house
where they had stopped a short time. The dogs followed the men to their own
home, but they had left there and the scent led into Kadoka. Following
that lead, the hounds approached within a couple of miles of town, when they saw
two men coming. Both dogs made a lunge at the men as the guilty parties,
and they were arrested. After an examination they were bound over to the
circuit court in $1000 each. |
