We have it as an official conclusion
that the flow of the big artesian we'll is
increasing. By the measurements OF
the water superintendent the well
spouts nine inches farther than it did
a week ago. This indicates greater
force and increased volume.

An error in a telegram gave the
Canton band to understand that it was
engaged by Yankten for tho 4th, when
the committee did not intend to engage
it. To make things agreeable all around
the committee concluded to accept the
services of the Cantonites and Joe
Ohsndler rushed around this forenoon
and raised the money. The Canton band
is one OF the best in the west and will
give us superior music. Yankton will be

Last evening while Charles Rudd was
visiting a young lady at a residence on
the north hill, just beyond the railroad
tracks, q revolver ahot was fred through
g window and the bullet struck Mr..
Rudd on tho head, inhicting a severe
scalp wound and glancing off without
doing serious injury. The same bullet
'grazed the head of the young lady. but
without leaving any mark. 1t wa
afterwards ascertained that the would
be assassin had climbed upon the
window sill and fred over the tor
of the sash, which was down a few
inches. The cause of this dastardl,
attempt at murder is supposed to b.
jealousy, and suspicion points to Reubel
N. Shumway as the party who did thu
shooting. He has disappeared and viii
probably stay away. MIR. Rudd's heat
is somewhat sore to-day, but aside from
this he is feeliag oil right, though b
does not court another experience il
front Of SO good a marksman.
