loathsome and vulgar for description
here. Would to God the strong
arm of the law could rise up and
sweep the county clean of such
scoundrels.
During the terrible wind storm
Tuesday the tin roof of the large
three-story Vinkle House became
loose and was i'll great danger of be-
ing carried off by the terrific wind.
Mr.. Vinkle and son Mahlon. B. Il.
Roddle, Sam Ccsel, Crandall Bros.
and e. w. Robey, displayed great
nerve by going on the roof when the
wind raised it several feet high,
and by heroic and proper work saved
the hotel roof.
Prof. Iunstall, the efficient and
very popular leader of the Gate City
Band, has gone to Jamestown to be-
come the leader and instructor of
the band at that city. 1t is to be
regretted that our citizens did not
exert themselves to keep Mr.. Tun-
stall here, as his absence means a
sure break up to our already capital
band. Our band had just reached
that stage Of proficiency where they
were classed a first class band and
when we consider the time, patience
and hard work on the part of the
boys and also consider the fact that
our band already has territorial
reputation, it having advertised our
city i'll many instances. At the great
territorial convention at Watertown
the band carried off the applause Of
all. Much of this was due to the
untiring work Of Prof. Tunstall,
who leaves her now because he could
not realize enough to pay his board.
Some of our citizens responded no.
bly, and always for the support of
the band, and we believe all will
now feel like rolling up and secur-
ms IL good teacher for Dakota's best
BIZ nd, and not let it die q death of
starvation. ..-
Considerable interest was mani
Tested in the several wards Monday
over election of aldermen, and es-
pecially in the first and second
wards. The regular ticket in the
second, which was i'll every way a
good and safe ticket, and IL large
portion Of the ward ticket in the
first was slaughtered, all of which
there seemed no particular reason
for, save in the first ward when 1t
was apparent that Alderman Lynch
had hosts Of friends. being very
popular man and worthy citizen.
Lynch defeated L. M. Devendorf, of
whom nothing can be said against,
save that he is a Republican, and
who cared nothing for the position,
while Mr.. Lynch was very anxious
to be reelected and bis friends in
other wards found it was necessary
for him to get back on the board.
We presume the purpose was an
honest one-at least we trust so.
Alderman Roberts and John Scott,
two Of our best and most respected
citizens, were defeated in the second
ward, which was complete surprise
to everybody. S. H. Groshong and
P. S. Peabody, two staunch and re-
liable citizens, were the successful
candidates in that ward. E. G.
Shelton led the fight in the second
against the regular ticket. Follow
ing is the ticket elected: Mayor, T.
+. Marshall; Treasurer, ]. w.
Lucas; Police Justice, A. G.. Hem

All are good men and will endure
punishment two years for the city's
sake.
