Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: The
Deadwood Pioneer has been interview
ing ex-senator Sol Star, Senator Rice
and other good authorities about the
proposition of the auditor TO hold back
the money due the tiremen because
the legislature failed to make appro-
prlation for them. They all agree that
the money must be paid. The law of
1887 required all fire insurance compan-
les to pay into the state treasury per
cent. on all the premiums received
from towns in which there are organ
lied fire departments and that this
money to be distributed among the fire
companies. Mr.. Nipple holds that as
the legislature did not make provision
for the payment Of this money to the
fremen he has no power to get it out
of the treasury These gentlemen say
that no special cnactmentis is necessary.

Huron and Prohibition.

When the Huron city council organ
lied for business at the first meeting
after election, Rev. w. H. Thrall in
troduced a resolution that this COM
mon council do hereby disclaim and ex-
press their unqualified disapproval of
receiving moneys licensing the illegal
sale Of Intoxicating liquors contrary to
the laws Of South Dakota and the
ordinances of the city of Huron, and
that they proclaim that it is not their
intent in any way to give countenance
to or protection for transgression of
any laws which they have taken an
oath to support" In the vote it was
tie and the mayor used his prerogative
and tabled the resolution so that in
Huron saloons will run for the next
year. Several of the aldermen there
consider it better plan to confne the
saloon within some limits rather than
to permit the liquor to be sold in back
alleys and every conceivable place.
Yet they are violating the law of the

Sioux Falls and Her State Fair Contract.
When Mitchell went before the State
Board of Agriculture to put in her bid
for the state fair she had the goods to
deliver and was ready to close up and
sign the contract at Huron. But Sioux
Falls turned on a glittering offer that
fairly dazzled the eyes of the board and
without knowing whether Sioux Falls
could make good her proposition ac-
cepted it at once. That was six weeks
ago and today the matter is not yet def
nitely settled. The following telegram
to the Minneapolis journal under date
of April - will show the condition of
things whore the fair is to be held:
The Sioux Falls Driving Park asso-
citation is IN hard lines just now. The
organization is back on its last years
meeting and is trying to square itself
with its creditors in court and is find
ing this rocky and expensive course.
The association is several thousand dol
lars behind and the creditors have been
suing and attaching the property of the
stockholders.
And another TO the same paper of the
same date further verifics the assertion
that the contract remains unclosed:
At a meeting OF citizens this evening
all arrangements were perfected to
close up the deal by which Sioux Falls
will have the South Dakota state fair
located here during the next six years.
This matter has been hanging fire for
some time. but now it is settled and the
work of booming the 1895 fair will be
pushed.
The fact Of the matter is three or four
men went to Huron, made the PROPOSE
tion without the sanction of Sioux Falls
and now they haye turned the burden
over to the city to settle as best it can

Some Details at Last Learned of Paul
Pages Shooting Scrape


Below is an account of the Paul
Paul Page shooting which occurred
April 22, The article is taken from
the Seattle Post Intelligencer of the "A.
The paper says: "The incidents lead
ing up to the shooting of Harry L.
Fraser by p. D, Page in the barroom
of the Hotel Northern at 40 yester-
day morning are as yet shrouded in
mystery, and just what provccation, if
any, caused Page to shoot Fraser may.
owing to the excitement of the mo-
ment, never be known. The fact re-
mains that Page languishes in jail, in a
semi-conscious condition, which he
claims is the result of drug given him
in his drink to facilitate robbing him,

The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1895-05-03

The eye witnesses to the shooting
were w. ~. lreton, of 3l1 North Sew
enth street, formerly bartender at the
same saloon when the hotel was under
the management of J. w. Dodge:
Frank Johnson, OF 1921 Third street
and E. G.. Marden, the bartender on
duty. The statement of these three
men agrees in the main, that the shoot
ing was done without adequate provo
cation, and is TO the effect that Page
aud Fraser were were shaking dice for
81 corner. Page had won $40 worth
Of chips and pulled them down. For
the next ante Fraser put down $40
bill and asked for his change Page.
instead of giving it, put down two
chips. Frasier demurred and said:
mo. want the money in change 8 and
pulled down the bill. Page snatched
the bill and, putting it tack in the cen
ter of the table said: Let that alone:
there's your change in chips" This
started war of words Both men
were seated at the corner of the table.
both appeared to rise simultaneously
and come together and the report of
the gun was the first intimation that
reached the onlookers that gun had
been drawn.
In further talking of the matter these
men inferred from the peculiar man
ner in which both men rose and came
together that Fraser saw Page pull his
gun and being himself unarmcd and a
nervy man, saw that the only thing to
do to save himself was to close in on his
antagonist and seize the arm holding
the gun. This he did, getting so close
to Pages body that the latter had nc
chance to use his gun from the front,
and ovading Fraser's efforts to seize his
gun arm threw it suddenly around to
lEraser's back and, pressing the muzzle
on his hip, fired. Page was seized by
the three men and turned over to the
officers, while Fraser was, by the ad-
vice Of his family physician, removed
to Providence hospital for surgical

muttered about the shooting, and she
heard him say:

again,
'If hadn't made rush on him it
would have been all day with me-"
Other than these remarks he made
no reference to the shooting and did not
seem to realize his serious condition.
for he spoke confidently OF his recov-
cry, which, however, he thought would
be slow and keep him laid up for long
time

Scarcely anything has been done in the
way of farming on account Of the extreme
