SAD ACCIDENT.
A F.hy Severely Wounded by a Ballet
From 4 Shooting Gallery.

A very sad accident--which might
nave proved a fatal one-occurr,d
on the fourth in this city. Mrs.
Thomas Remington came from her
home a few miles south, withssher
babe only a year old, to enjoy the
celebration. At u little aft,r 5

sitting in the Methodist church
yard with her child in her arms
c%onversing with friends. Directly

Main street wns a shooting gallery

wife Of Sioux City. Dunn was do
ing a rustling business all day and
ordinarily the bullets were stopped
by the back board behind the tar
gets. Several young ladies during
the day tried their skill at handling
the rifles which, were Of a shooting
gallery character, the bullets being
Of 22-ca,iber. As might be expect
ed the young ladies general
ly would shut their eyes and fire,
expecting to ring the bulls eye and
capture the prize offered, which in
this case was gold ring made Of
brass and sold at Wholesale at the
sacrifice price of 10 cents Il dozen.
While Mrs. Remington was sitting
on the wagon seat nearly 200 feet
away, a young gentleman from Yer
million accompanied by his best
girl stepped forward and paid for
a shot for his fair one.
She shut her eyes as
might be expected and fired. The
baby screamed, and the mother be-
ing unaware of the gallery straight
ahead Of her, supposed the little
one had been scared 10y a fire crack

observing blood stains on the baby's
dress on its right side, and II bullet

to DR.. Conly's drug store, where on
examination it was found that there
was a bullet wound below the
tenth nib. Probing failed TO
discover the bullets whereabouts and
at last accounts the chilu was doing
fairly well under the circumstances.

velop the fact that the prospects
for a big corn crop were never bet
ter. 1t possesses a healthy and Wig
orous appearance, and that very
soon cor will be too big to pillow.
Small grain is not as high, although
headed out in many cases. as in the
average run Of years. This is en-
tirely due to the lack of rainfall, a
circumstance which has been ex-
perienced all oyer Iowa. Wheat
ehould bring a very good price this
fall, for Minnesota, Iowa and North
and South Oak ta all report a light
crop with nothing like the yield Of
the two former years.

Crowd.

The glorious bird Of freedom for
the nth time let forth her screech
in honor Of her birthday in this
land of the free and brave in Elk
Point on Tuesday. The attendance
was unusually large, and amid the
boom Of the cannon and snap of the
fire cracker the celebration passed
into history.
The day opened inauspiciously
in the morning with the end of a
heavy rain storm, the ground Icing
thoroughly soaked with needed rain
which gave joy and encouragement
to the heart Of the farmer. BY Z
o'clock the sun came out strong and
by noon the roads we're dry, the
air cool, making thejourney to town
a pleasure.
Day light was heralded by the
boom 81 the cannon, due to the en-
ergetic work OF the c%annoneer, Capt.
Godfrey.
All the business houses were dec
Grated with bunting, flags aud the
national %colors, giving Main street a
very pretty appearance. 1t was 10
o'clock when Company d, the local
militia company, composed Of as
manly u lot Of boys as are to be
found anywhere, marched with
steady step down the venue and
rested in front of the court house
yard. BY 1890 the parade formed
in line with the band leading, then
came the president ofthe day, Coun-
ty Superintendent Sheehan; Orator
David +. Powers; the goddess of lib
erty and her chariot; merchants dis
play, r%agmrutfins and carriages.
After the parade the crowd as
sembled in the court house park

Quoted by The president Of the day.
The declaration Of independence was
read by Aggie Bovee in an i'm
pressive manner, which vas fol-
lowed by an Grafton from Hon. d.
L. Powers, Of Sioux Falls. The
speech Of the distinguished city at
torney Of the Falls was not up to
his customary excellent style, he
having been i'll for some time previ-
ously. Outside Of a reference made
to the Capitalization Of capital and
the power of the capitalists, the
Grafton proved satisfactory.
After the Grafton, the crowd dis
persed to witness the races ut tue
fair grounds.
In the evening there was a grand
pyrotechnic display Of fireworks,
some of which were exceedingly
beautiful. A number Of paper bal
looms were sent up which delighted
the children.

not present, it being reported that
he had been arrested in Iowa for
selling whiskey.
