Ferguson 78 years old Long time resident of Miller was this week turned Over to the Penitentiary authorities at Sioux Falls to begin serving a 20 year term for murder after having been convicted eleven months ago of killing his wife dec. 25,.1922.

Parks and Bruise and the adoption by the Reich Stag of the legislation necessary to put Germany a finances in order. Until the foregoing has been accomplished by Germany it is Felt in official circles Here that the French and belgians cannot Exchange present pledges for others and that evacuation of the Ruhr must hinge upon the prompt fulfilment of these conditions by Germany. Furthermore the French insist that the change of regime in the Ruhr be preceded by an inter Allied agreement on the sanctions or penalties to be provided in the event of a German default. Oppose British View on the latter Point the French View is diametrically opposed to that of the British and expressed in other terms the fundamental differences which existed Between Lloyd George and Premier Mill Rand Bonar Law and Premier Poincare remand the same Between premiers Poincare and Mcdonald.

Hor husband was out of work. Before her she saw a life of poverty for herself and the baby that was coming. Something drastic had to be done. Then came the first of the series of hold ups.

A a a and Over in Woodhaven in a Small House As Gray As the prison from which she just came sits Gussie Humann free in the eyes of the Law. But not in those of her former friends. For they still hold her responsible for the death of Harry Garbo an old sweetheart who was murdered by i the father of the Humann baby. So the Young Mother still unmarried. Has locked herself in her old Home drawn Down the curtains of Jhu windows to evade the eyes of the neighbors and is devoting herself to the rearing of her child.
