Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1896-07-11


While Il few of the towns of the Hills
celebrated the Fourth of July in a small
way, Lead was the browning attraction
in this direction. 1t was the cannon i in
comparison with which all others were
mere fire crackers, which created n
small noise and went out leaving no
permanent impression whatever. Key
stone is said to have made an effort in
this direction which was the nearest
approach TO n success, while Rapid, in
the absence Of mnsic, made a persistent
struggle to enthuse n small attendance
with only limited success. Sturgis and
Custer stay at homes betook themselves
to the brush, and enjoyed the luxury Of
strawberries and cream under the float
ing forty FIVE starred banner of freedom.
but the real celebration, tho only, was
at Lead. and onc first class blow out is
enough for any one year in the Hills
anyhow. Next year, Custer will prob
ably be the prominent point for the
leading celebration, in which event she
will expect you all TO come, help cele-
brate, and take a peep at our new re-
duction works.

For the reason that Custer had not
omitted the celebration of the Fourth
OF July for years, and the further reason
that a number Of her citizens desired to
attend the reunion at Lead, there were
no preparations made for a public
celebration ofthe day, therefore indie

Burglar Stories.

This was day for burglar stories
No burglaries were reported but some
how everybody thought the signs
were favorable for that sort OF work.
1t has been long time since Abilene
suffered any serious visitations Of this
kind but that only makes people won
der how soon one will come. The
town has been unusually afflicted with
tramps and strangers during the past
few weeks, but on the whole they
have been peaceable and injured no
one A meat dealer who was down
town after midnight this morning
says at least dozen strangers were
roaming around the streets.
Homer Ellison was awakened about
8 o'clock and looking out into the
moonlit streets saw two strange and
suspicious looking men sneaklng
along Sixth street west from Broad
way. After while he saw them
come back and one carried piece OF
timber, looking as if it were 10 to Y
feet long. Mr.. Ellison yelled at them
and they hurried out of sight
A prominent official of the city who
lives not more than thousand miles
from the city hall was awakened BY a
noise at the window screen and his
wife called his attention to something
like a mans arm moving up and
down on the screen. He is no coward
and prepared for business "You
get over in the corner" said he to his
better half, "for they may shoot, but
il that screen is cut I'll kill him.
Silently he waited with leveled revol
yer watching the shadow on the
screen. Suddenly there was a sounc
but he did not shoot. The SOUND
was a prolonged "me-a-u-wl" OF The
family cat trying to get in at thu
screen.
