There were only Il few vacant seats in
the Congregational church Friday even
ing. and those attending the entertain
ment were wei! repaid for the effort. The
principal attraction was Miss Clio DclItta
Plank. a reader and imprrsonator of more
Than ordinary ability. Her selections
were of the pathetic. the tragic and the
humorous order. and she was equally pro-
ticicnt in each Her clear. mclodious
voice, graceful gestures aud perfect acting
nicely harmonizcS with the sentiment of
her selections, and leaves Il pleasant recol-
lection in the minds of her hearers Miss
Edna Carter fully sustained her rcpnta-
iion as IL vocalist. and the los. sweet
| songs she sung were in keeping with the
surroundings of the pleasant little chap
pei The violin performance by Leonard
Underwood was pleasing feature and
of wonderful power and expression. The
quartet aud balance of the program met
with the approval of the audience. The
Congregational church society Melted Il
neat sum by the effort.
The case of the city against Maud Da-
Wis went to the jury late Saturday night,
and a conclusion was quickly arrived at.
by stipulation, however, the verdict was
placed in II sealed envelope to be dcpos-
tied with the court 10 be opened the fol-
lowing Monday at p. III. At that hour
tie verdict was read and the defendant
was found guilty as charged in the in
dictment. The police justice gave the
defendant the full limit of the fine which
was $50, and imprisonment of twenty
days. Notice of appeal to the circuit
court was given. and defendants bond for
her appearance was offered but not ac-
cepted by Police Justice March. The

JAS. Shipley and Thos. Lyttle. the two
Snlly county farmers and Stockmcn who
have been spending a term of twenty days
ut the Hughes county Jail under the sur
VIGILANCE OF .]alor Dixon, will be released
tomorrow. They were arrested some time
ago upon the charge Of fencing govern
ment lands and tried at Sioux Falls, and
were sentenced bY,lndge 4iAgertop With
| a fine of 800 each and twenty days in the
Hughes county Jail. If view of the al
legged otrensc the punishment seems too
severe. and the trouble grew out of q
ncighborhood quarrel. The government
land under controversy is practically val
ueless to anyone and the fence was
placed upon 1t merely as a protection for
their own stock and property. Consider
ing the expense attached to the trial at
Sioux Falls and the triviality of the Of
Tense. the Sully county farmers seem TO
have their full share OF life's burden.
