Thursday for a run through the mineral
districts in this vicinity, with a view to
turning up something to his own per-
sonal advantage, and to the material
benefit of the community at large, in
which direction the CHRONICLES wishes
! he may be favored with phenomenal
| success.

morning from Oakdale California after a
four years s%ojourn in that place, salts

Memorial Day.

Never in the history of Custer wal q
Memorial Day more generally observed
or more fttingly and appropriately
celebrated than on Wednesday. Moth
ing that could in any measure add to the
interest and impressive character Of the
occasion was overlooked. The entire
population seemed aglow with the spirit
of patriotism, and in full sympathy with
the noble purposes Of the occasion.
The elaborate program prepared for
the day WAS faithfully carried out, in
the rendition of which, there vas not
the semblance of a jar from beginning
to end. The procession from Grand
Army hall to the Court house and
cemetery was by far the most imposing
pageant ever Witnessed in this place.
The exercises at the court house hall
were interesting and impressive. The
addresses by Commander Lunger, b. II.
Wood, and Rev. G. III Mckee we're able,
eloquent and appropriate to the occa-
sion.
The music, both vocal and instru.
mental was well chosen and faultless in
its execution, and the declarations
presented by the Misses Albien and Barn
hart were richly deserving of the ap.
plause they received.
The exercises at the cemetery which
were largely attended by our citizens,
were in conformity with the regulations
Of the Grand Army of the Republic, and
were especially impressive in character.
The day was beautiful throughout,
and as pleasant as could have been
desired. There were numerous visitors
from the surrounding country who united
with the citizens in celebrating the day.
The business houses were practically
closed and decorated, with one exception
With the stars and stripes, and every
circumstance seemed favorable to the
successful issue Of the plans and pur-
poses Of the promoters of the celebra-
ton of the day.
The Custer City Guards, commanded
by Capt. A. NJ. Willard, was a conspic.
uous and prominent feature Of the
occasion which could not well have been
dispensed with, and the Guards brass
band was al indispensable adjunc',
which materially added to the pleasing
fitness of things in general. The
occasion will be long remembered by
those in attendance, for its elaborate
exercises, carried out with such COM
pleteness of detail, and its exceptionally
interesting and progressive features
throughout.

A Flag Incident.

Custer is nothing if not patriotic.
This fact was emphasized on Memorial
Day, by the occurrence of what is known
as the flag incident. 1t appears, as the
story goes, that n grocer on the south
side OF Custer Avenue, was slow in dis
playing his bunting on the morning Of
Memorial Day, and being reminded Of
his neglect by a citizen. he urged as a
reason for his failure to respond to the
prevailing sentiment, that he had no
flag to display, %wherenpon the citizen
told him that he would procure one for
him, which he accordingly did, and
nailed it to the building at the instance
of the proprietor. The flag was not
destined to remain long however, as il
was scarcely an hour afterward, after
the proprietor had been told by the
party having charge of the building lie
occupied that he did not have to display
the flag If not SO disposed, when he took
down the, 70 him offensive emblem, au9
consigned it to the stove. This act, SO
strongly suggestive Of treason could not
be otherwise than sensational in its re-
suits in a town named in honor Of one
of the most distinguished and loyal
leaders of the war Of the rebellion, and
as might have been expected, another
flag was substituted, which was also
taken down in a short time. This SO
incensed the masses. that it became
evident that heroic measures would
have to be resorted to in order to pre-.
serve the honor Of the flag, and Peep it
proudly floating where it had been first
placed by and with the consent of said
proprietor.
The time for the assembling OF the
Custer City Guards, who were to escort
the Grand Army post to the court house,
had now arrived, and nothing more was
done in the matter until the procession
had been formed, and the line of march
taken up, which proceeded up the street
until it reached a point opposite the
grocery in question, when a halt was
called, and Capt. Willard with two flags
in his hands proceeded to the building
and putting them up, placed a guard
over them with o.ders to protect them
from all disturbing hands. A guard was
maintained over the flags during the
day, and it is unnecessary to say that
they were not disturbed. The senti-
ment of the community is practically a
unit in favor Of the action of Capt.
Willard in the matter of r~esenting the
fragrant insult to the national fay.

Sad Fatality.

One of the most deplorable accidents
known to this section occurred on Fri
day evening Of last week. James Long,
an honest and industrious citizen Of this
place, was engaged in hauling lumber
from a SAW mill located a few miles dis
tant, and while driving to the mill his
team became frightened and ran away,
and realizing that there was no hope of
checking them he decided, as a means
of avoiding more serious injury to jump
from the wagon, which he did with fatal
result. In jumping from the wagon his
foot caught upon some part of the run.
ming gears, and he was thus thrown
upon his head, fracturing the base of
his skull, from the effects Of which, not
withstanding every possible aid and at
tention was given him, he died at z
o'clock on Sunday morning.
Deceased was in his 46th year. and
came to the Hills about four years ago.
He leaves a wife and five small children
to mourn his death.
The funeral was held at the residence
of deceased on Monday, Rev. j. ].
Shingler, Of the Congregational church,
preaching the funeral sermon, after
which his remains were consigned to
their place Of rest in the Custer ceme-
terry. The sorrowing wife and children
have the deep sympathy of the CON-
munity In their great bereavement.

While it would doubtless be very
pleasing, and delightfully."- agreeable for
the Guards to visit Spearish upon the
occasion named, and compete in the

state that the Guards have never enter

Of fact such thing was never even
thought of until the above mention APP.

have a very pressing invitation to at
tend the Soldiers reunion at Sturgis on
the 4th of July, which they will decline
to accept on account of a little local
doings billed for them on that day.

Miraculous Cure.

Manuel McKirahan, whose death was
two weeks age enormously reported in
the CHRONICLE, returned to this city
early in the week, and is by all odds the
liyeliest corpse we have ever seen. His
perfect recovery at Hot Springs borders
upon the miraculous, and is a well de-
fined surprise to all who were familiar
with his serious situation prior TO his
departure for the Springs.
His case, which was deemed hopeless
by all his friends, may be briefly de-
scribed as follows: Ten years qgo he
was the victim of a fall which seriously
effected his spine, from which he had
not fully recovered, when he again,
three years ago., met with another acct
dent, when he was thrown from a horse,
after which his spinal trouble was
greatly intensified, disqualifying him
for manual labor of any kind, Growing
constantly worse, and for months prior
to his visit to Hot Springs, being unable
to walk without the aid Of crutches he
was advised to place himself under the
treatment of DIR. Green at the Evans
Sanitarium at Hot Springs which he
accordingly done, where under the
miraculous water treatment of the
doctor named, administered by Prof.
Guido de N~oltaire, he received inime-
date benefit, and was fully restored to
health in the brief period of ten days.
Upon the elongated list Of Hot Springs
cures, this case is probably the most
remarkable, and the friends of Mr. Me-
Kirahan will rejoice with him, in the
knowledge OF the fact Of the wondrous
potency of the medicinal waters Of Hot
springs when properly applied, as espe-
cially exemplifed IN his particular case.
