Last Sunday the Lutvig Metz family
came to this city to attend services. In
hooking up tine team they put harness
on the team that was too large for them.
When the family started home the bits
dropped out of the horses mouth and
they ran away AT the corner of Och.
senreiter's home the occupants of the
wagon, Mr. and Mrs. Metz and Mrs.
Ben Unke (their daughter) and her
little girl were thrown out of the wagon
and were at first thought to have been
dangerously injured. A doctor was
called and all were soon recustated and
while all were badly bruised il was
found that none received serious
injuries.
Senator Kittredge returned Sunday
night after two weeks absence in the
northern part of the state. He took
trip through Day, Marshall, Brown,
Mcpherson, Campbell, Walworth and
| Edmunds county. 81 was looking for
black rust" he said with twinkle in
his eye, "but | am pleased to say that
did not find any" "Do you mean
black rust in your political field?" was
asked, and the senator only smiled
serenely. The senator used an auto
much of the time and one day covered
as much as eighty miles. "The crops
are fine in that part of the state" said
the senator, land if nothing happens,
the yield will be very Large. Sioux

A young horse attached to an old
wagon made lively run down Main
street Tuesday night. 1t was captured
at the foot of the street and Earl Smith
and Ray Pitsor started to drive it over
to DIR. Judges barn but at the Catholic
hospital corner it started to run again
and threw the boys into the street
This time before it had stopped it had
completely demolished the old wagon it
was hooked up to- The horse was
badly cut about the foot. II seems a
shame that an owner of such a nice
colt would hitch it up to such an old
delapidated rig which would cause it
to run away aud probably make a run
away out of it for all time. We do not
know who was or is the owner.
| Two cases were called in this city
last Thursday that arose out of a Fourth
of July celebration at Granville. One
was the State of South Dakota VS.. Wag-
ner, ct al and the other was the State
of South Dakota VS.. Block, ct al, after
the witnesses had all got in they were
got together. In one case the Blocks
were the prosecuting witnesses and the
Wagners the defendants and the other
case the order was just changed.
Friends prevailed upon them that they
were foolish to 60 into court and pile
up a lot more Or costs against each
other. They finally went to the states
attorney, Frank Sears, and by agreeing
to pay all the costs which had already
accrued got the cases dropped. In
Malmberg's court one case cost $4S.75;
the other case was started in Rathbun's
court and many more witnesses had
been summoned and the costs were
$500. The costs were paid and the
parties have gone home and promise in
the future to settle their diff cuities
without access to the courts.
