can be from one to ten years. No doubt
the case will be taken TO the supreme court
1t is a notable fact that within the past
twenty-five years there have been three
bank failures in this city and this is the

DAKOTA CITY, Neb., June 9O.-(Special1
County Judge j. j. Eimers had a very
perplexins problem to solve yesterday aft
ernoon, which as yet remains unsolved, he

at issue is: Can an Indian formerly mar

tribe, afterward dissolvng partnership with
his wife under tribal customs, be granted
marriage license under the laws of this
state to remarry, no divorce having been
granted either party, and the former wife
having remarked according to law? The
matter came up by Charles E. Decora, a
Winnebago Indian, 32 years of age, apply
ing for a license to wed his inamorata. a
squaw of the Winnebago tribe, p years of
age. Armed with communication from
George w. Ashford, banker at Homer, ad-
dressed to the county Judge, who stood
good for the license fee, Decora, who is a
good looking specimen OF the Indian tribe,
being about six feet tall, we'll bronzed,

characteristics of his race and speaking

The Great Northern have practically all
the land purchased for its right-of- way
