GONE TO THE PENITENTIARY.
Tom Lytle the Last of the Trio Gets a
Sentence of Ten Years.

Tom Lytle the Last of the Trio Gets
Sentence of Ten Years.
When the hour of 10 o'clock arrived
Monday morning Sheriff Cook unlocked
the cell door which shut Tom Lytle
from the world and took him up into
the court room to receive his sentence
from the court. Lytle was convicted
of making q murderous attack on
blind negro in a saloon on the 3rd CT
March, cutting deep cash in tie ne
gro's neck. AT the hour mentioned
Lytle was brought before Judge Smith,
who sentenced him to ten years in the
penitentiary. Sheriff Cook and Geo.
II. Brooks took the trio of convictions
Walter Hamilton, John Havlatko
and Tom Lytle-over to Sioux Falls
this morning to serve their respective
terms OF three four and ten years.
Three criminal convictions at one
tern. of court is rather an unusual
thing for Dawson county, and is some
thing that States Attorney Winsor
should be congratulated upon. From
the first when these cases came under
his supervision it was his intention to
secure conviction if possible and with
that idea in view he went to work to
secure every bit of evidence to bring
about the desired result. Mr.. Winsor's
conviction of these three criminals
will serve as a pretty strong lesson that
in the future when a man commits q
crime in this county that there will be
but little chance for his escaping hi:
just dues. Mr.. Winsor has started ou,
remarkably we'll and there is no reason
to believe but what he will maintain
the very excellent record he has al
ready established.

his official acts for the ensuing year,
which showed marked increase in the

also the snug sum of $1,000 as balance
in the treasury. The report of the

Time and space forbid an extended
mention of the afternoon sports, but
there we're the usual horse races, bicy-
Gle races and foot races, all of which
were run on their merits. The closing
feature of the afternoon. was the ball
game between Dakota University and
the Pleasant Lake club, which result
ed in very close and hard earned vic
tory for the Mitchell nine, which
scored two runs in the last inning. The
score was 13 to y and it was a splendid
game. There were probably 1900 to
1900 people present and it was one of
the best behaved crowds we have seen
in long time, no unpleasant incident
occurring to mar the pleasures of the
day. In the evening Miss Harker gave
an elocution entertainment in the
church and was assisted by Misses
Madge Pickler and Ruth Holbrook,
and one or two numbers we're contrib.
uted by Mt. Vernon talent. A bowery
dance was the closing feature of the
DAYS festivities. Mt. Vernon is to he
congra uiated upon the excellent sue
cess of the celebration. 1t couldn't
have been made more pleasant and
everybody went home we'll satisfied

Old Settlers Day is One of the Leading
Events of the Year.
Old Settlers day for Mt. Vernon peo-
pie comes nearly being as of much i'm
portance as the national holiday, judg-
ing from the number of people in AZ
tendance and the pleasant time that
was enjoyed by all. On account of the
bad weather last week the reunion was
postponed until Monday, and as re-
suit the crowd was greatly increased in
numbers and the day was all that could
haye been desired, there being no wind
and the atmosphere was just cool
enough to be delightful. An immense
crowd got into town by 10 o'clock, peo-
pie going there from all directions.
Fully 25O Mitchell people went over to
the neigh boring town during the morn
ing and afternoon to witness the festiv-
tiles. In the morning hours Judge
Fellows delivered an address IN pa

ercises consisting of singing and speak

her best elocution numbers. Most Of
the sports took place in the afternoon

reate sermon TO the members of the
high school graduating class. The up
per and lover floors we're crowded to
their fullest extent and vast sea of
faces we're turned toward the stage.
In cne three front rows of seats were
the members of the graduating class,
% in number, each of whom wore the
class colors, gold and white. The
teachers and superintendent were also
present. The exercises of the evening
were opened with singing by the choir,
in which the audience joined most
heartily and which was followed by a
prayer by Rev. A. z. Stevens. Misses
Becker and Colvin and Messrs. Windle
and Downey furnished the music of the
evening, among which was a special
number. Mrs. r. N. Kratz presided at
the piano. Rev. Frank Durant read
the scriptural lesson and Rev. A. G.
Shepherd delivered the address. For
several years past and until last Decem-
Der MIR. Shepherd was the principal of
the high school and guided the gradu-
ating class over the last year of their
school life and it was particularly ap-
propriate that the class should invite
their former instructor tc address them
just as they were leaving the school to
grapple with the more stern realities
of life. His opening remarks were OF q
personal nature, referring to his pleas
ant connection with the schools and
his qualification at being called upon
to say something of an encouraging ma
ture to his former scholars, in whom he
still had a strong interest and more
than friendly feeling. The advice he
gave them was along the lines that if
followed closely would result in making
their lives successful. He cautioned
|
them to heed the advice of their elders,
who could be depended upon for guild
ance through life. On the whole Mr..
Shepherds address was worthy pro-
duction, and having the true ring of
sincerity it sank deep into the hearts
of the listeners. After reading the
announcements for the commencement
week at the university, DR.. W.. 1. Gra'
ham pronounced the benediction.
Quite large number of the pupils ol
the high school came forward at the
close of the exercises to pay their re-
spects to their old and esteemed in
structor, Rev. Mr.. Shepherd. He
returned to his home at Alexandra
this morning.

County Board of Education Met Tuesday
and Selected the Books.
Tuesday the county board of educa-
tion met according to law to take such
action concerning the change in the
text books of the schools of the county
as they deemed proper. Supt. o. E.
Brown presided over the meeting and
Auditor Champlin recorded the action
of the board and the following members
were present: o. E. Brown, F. H.
Winsor, Geo. E. jerks, H. II. Olsen, G.
b. Grimm, j. D. Kress, j. G. Helwig,
E. B. VanAlstine, G. N. Hatch, W. j.
Craig, Fl. L. Bras, Ami Harader, j.
G. Clapham, A. B. Hall, L. W. Champ
lin and W. B. Tobey who was after
ward seated by vote of the board.
His right was contested on the ground
that Ethan was not organized for civil
purposes and a telegram was sent the
attorney general for decision as to
whether MIR. Tobey was eligible to the
board. Other than q discussion of the
text book matter nothing else was done
At the morning session and an adjourn
ment was taKen until 2:30 o'clock. At
the opening CT the afternoon session
motion was made by Ami Harader to
proceed to open the bids for school
books, which was carried. H. L. Bras
moved and j. D. Kress seconded that
the following resolution be adopted:
Whereas, The county board of educa-
tion of Dawson county, S. D., has met
pursuant TO law for the purpose of Sc
lecting and adopting series of text
books for use in the public schools of
the county: and
Whereas, After careful investigation
the board is fully satisfied that the
books now in use are satisfactory and
that the patrons strongly desire to re-
tain them, be it
Resolved. That no changes be made
in the present series and that the board
do now proceed to select and adopt the
text books now in use in the schools.
The resolution was lost by the follow.
ing vote: Nays-Brown, Winsor, jerks,
Olsen, Grimm, Hatch, Craig, Hatader,
Chaplain, Champliu. Ayes-Helwig,
Bras, Kress, Van Alstine, Hall, Tobey.
A motion was then made to adopt
each book separately and most of the
afternoon was spent on this matter.
The only change made by the board
which will effect the cisy schools is
that OF the readers, while in the rural
school the geography and grammar
~
studies the system will be practically
uniform. While there were but three
changes made it does not approach
what was at fir-t contemplated, but
: wiser council prevailed and from dis
turbing the system to a great extent
the situation now is very satisfactory
to all.
