A Pronounced Success

Was the supper and entertainment
given by the ladies of the o. L. S. at
Garlock's opera house on Monday night.
The supper, which embraced in its
menu the choicest and most dainty
delicacies obtainable, was on tap from
6 to 8 o'clock, and about 100 patrons are
now prepared to testify to it exceptional
merits. This enjoyable feature, was fol
lowed by a very pleasing musical enter
tainment, the high appreciation of
which was Enthusiastically indicated by a
full measure Of well merited applause
on the part of the large audience. Then
followed the presentation of the side
splitting farce of Female Masonry"
Ga la Lease by the members of the or
der, which, in its unique and extrav-
agant features, the most laughable and
amusing ex~trayaganaas that have hither-
to been presented upon a Custer stage,
would appear tame and insignificant in
comparison, Of which our limited avail
able space %precludes a more extended
mention. The evenings entertainment
closed with a delightful hop, which was
greatly enjoyed by the lovers Of the
dance until a late hour. The affair was
a we'll defined success in all its varied
features, and will be long remembered
by all who participated in its pleasures
as the most enjoyable event Of the year.

SAnother delegation Of Cur fragrant
friends from the Pine Ridge Agency,
came in Tuesday en- route to Spring
creek for more teepe poles, which seem
to be still in good demand and will
doubtless so continue until the supply,
which is rapidly decreasing, is finally
exhausted. We are informed that these
poles are worth a dollar apiece on the
reservation, and, at this figure, the reds
will be enabled, through the efforts of
the squaws, who do all the work, to
make a goodly sum during the season,
which will, of course, be pleasing to the
government, of which they are the for
tunate and happy wards. 1t is apparent
that our red brothers have no respect
or regard for the fat mans forestry
order, in which respect they do not
differ materially with the whites, who
seem to regard it as nothing more than
a huge, high sounding joke. which is too
ridiculous in character to be seriously
considered.

Serious Accident,

James Clark, of this place, while en-
gagged in splitting bridge timbers on
Tuesday afternoon, met with q serious
accident, which will, it is feared, lay
him up for the summer. While in the
act of splitting a log, the axe used by q
man assisting him came off the handle,
and striking him upon the foot, inflicted
a serious wound, severing the metatarsal
bone and almost completely amputating
two of his toes. A surgeon was called,
who done everything in his power in
his behalf, and it is believed that with
proper care, the unfortunate ciacum.
stance may not result in permanent
injury.
