Owing to the fierce northwest wind and
the cold rain on Saturday, the band tour
nament committee was in doubt as to
whether the event should again he de-
clared off or not, when Andrew j.
Eckstein, the local weather observer,
struck upon the idea of consulting the
weather bureau as to the weather for the
following LAY. He accordingly wired to
Edward a. Beals, the forecast official at
Minneapolis, and in reply received the
following prediction: "For Sunday, fair
and COLDER" On the strength Of this
telegram and IN spite of the unfavorable
indications, the committee concluded to
60 ahead. Telegrams were sent out urg-
ing the people to prepare to come and
come they did in throngs. The weather
TUNED out as Mr.. Beals had predicted
and to his statement is due largely the
success of the undertaking. MIR. Beals
was classmate at the Signal School in
Virginia of Jos. A. Ecksteins and Mr.. E.
A. Rye, who was the guest of Mr.. Eek
stein during the tournament, snd OF
course both OF these gentlemen felt high.

The daily papers Of Friday contained
some very interesting reading relative tc

The Tribune's special from Sioux Falls
says: Cuba will get a recruit fl ON this
city in the person of E. F. Won Horn
formerly editor Of the Dakota Nachreich

Stats Zeitung, of this city. Six week:
ago Won Horn was married to Mrs. j. NJ
Mason, of this city, whom he had known

lottery and now has considerable prop.
erty. It;is known that Won Horn told a
friend that he intended to get hold of his
wife's money and then he did not care
what became of her. This came to hia
wife's ears and that, together with the
fact that ne had refused to do any work
after the wedding, so disgusted Mrs. Won
Horn that she left him. She was gone
but day when messenger came to her
and said that her husband was about to
go to work and she went home. Instead
of going to work he left town, going to
New Ulm, Mlnn., from which place he
will go to Cuba to JOIN the revolution
lists. He and his father were at one time
officers in the German army. There is d
rather sensational STORY afoat to the ef-
feet that Won Horn and local parties en-
tered into a conspiracy to defraud Mrs.
Won Horn out of her money and no sur
prise would be caused il rather sensa-
tional suit should be instituted against
local parties.
