Franklin's show was broken up at Chad
ron Monday night by gang of old
time toughs who turned themselves

holes through the canvas. 1t is a dis
grace 20 any city to allow such men
to go UNPUBLISHED for this sort of mis-
chief, and if the mayor did not have
them heavily fined he is not performing
the duties imposed upon him by law
abiding people. The show is a good

enjoyed the reputation of being the lead
ing hotel of the famous sanitarium of
South Dakota, and its enviable popular
ity is due to the fact that it's proprietor
has a natural taste for catering to the
wants of the travelling public. He gives
his personal attention to the welfare of
guests, and sees that the house is scrup-
ulously clean throughout, and the bill OF
fare is prepered to please the most fas-
tidious.
