Notwithstanding the fact that

minds OF nearly everyone, there is
one chief event which should not be
forgotten during the gala days, that
Of the firemens' ball, which is to

Dec. 26th. That the firemen are
royal ntertainers and their parties
one of the most popular social events

the fremens' holiday promenade.

rig, but held onto the lines, the
horse dragging him short distance
Fortunately he was not injured, and
the cutter was but slightly damaged.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
we're perhaps three OF the busiest
days which this village has expert
enced in some time, due to the fact
that they we're the days appointed
by Special Indian Agent R. S. Buck
land for the payjng-off OF the Indians
residing on this side OF the bay.
Thursday afternoon in particular
Indian families swarmed the streets
and ct the appointed hour went to
the Town Hall, where for several
hours the officials we're kept busy.
Several hundreds OF dollars were
paid 10 government checks, and
many an Indians heart was made
glad. That the payment Of this al
lotmept should fall due at this par
ticular season is not only great
benefit to the Indians, but also to
the businessmen. The holiday sea
son is now at it's height and the
merchants have large stocks, which
with this settlement on the part ol
the government will mean quick
and easy disposal Of goods for the
merchant and merry Christ.
mastide for the Indians.
