A $50 Pair Of Pants for 81

I'm out two pair of pants but

ed or how much am | out?"
A week ago last Saturday or
Sunday, some harvest hands
stole six pair of pants from the
Erlandson & Johnson store Four
pair valued at s. a pair, that
were sold to threshermen for 81
a pair were recovered. Two pair
were worn out of town. A party
came into the Erlandson & John
son store Monday to purchase a
pair of overalls. He remarked
that it didn t pay to buy overalls
at IS cents when fellows were
out selling good pauts at 81.
Marty Martens, who had been
showing suit of clothes to a
party, and could not find the
pants to the suits, began to ques-
ton the man, bu. he would not
talk any more. Members of the
firm went out to the rig where
the men were working. Four of
the six pairs had been sold. The
purchasers were given their
money back. A swede in this
city had purchased a pair, but
when questioned by Sheriff
Murray and Mr.. Johnson, said
he had not bought any stolen
pants. He had owed Mr.. John
son $50 on a note for several
years, and Mr.. johnson was not
aware that he was in the city
until this. Upon being offered
dollar he produced the trousers.
AS he had denied so many times
that he had purchased the pants
and then given them up, he was
placed under arrest. Mr.. John
son got SlO out OF him that day
on the note. The next day he
was brought before Justice
Bleser and the fines and costs
amounted to $50 He said he did
not have any money, but it was
found that he had about $75 CON-
ing for threshing. This was at
'ached, the fine taken out Of it,
and Mr.. johnson thought he
might as we'll have the balance of
$40 that was due him. TheSwede
is probably wondering by this
time why he didn't do the right
thing at the start, while Mr..
Johnson wonders how much
those two pair of pants cost him.

RE.DEDICATION

The Methodist People Of Milbank Had
Special Services Last Sunday, with
DR.. Nicholson Preaching. The
Church Handsomely Remodeled, Re-
seated and Enlarged
LastSunday was ared letter day
with the Methodist people of Mil
bank, when the work of remodel
ing and refurnishing the church
with pews was accepted by
the rededication of the building.
The Improvements just COM
pleted consisted of enlarging the
auditorium by the addition of an
extension on the south side of
the church the same size as the
classroom on the north, and
throwing the classroom into the
auditorium, thus making an ad-
dition on the north and south
sides of the room, removing the
opera chairs and reseating the
whole with half circular pews.
The pews are of quarter-sawed
oak, present handsome appear,
ance and were put in at an ex.
pense of about $500. The whole
interior has been repainted and
papered, the ceiling being paint
ed fiat white, the walls papered
in green. and the wood work to
har m onize with the rews. The
basement was also extended un-
der the south wing, the old
basement further excavated and
the whole will be made into a
suitable room for Sunday school,
social meetings and other gather
ings--an outside entrance to the
basement being made from the
south. A new cement sidewalk
and steps have also been placed
on the east front of the church
lots. The whole of the improve.
ments were made at a cost of
some 2,40O. of which about
81, 300 had to be provided for at
the Sunday services, and about
5000 of this amount was raised at
the morning service and the
balance in the evening. DR..
Nicholson, president of the Da,
kota Wesleyan university at
Mitchell preached both morning
and evening, the pastor of the
church, Rev. O. E, Boyce, and
Rev. E. E. Hunt, the former
pastor of the church, under
whose pastorate the improve
ments were commenced, were
present at the services, the
church being rededicated in the
evening. Both morning and
evening congregations were
thrllledand edited by DR.. Nichol
sons sermons, in which the work
of the church and the ministry
in the cause of hu manity and the
advancement of civilization, was
most clearly and forcibly pre-
sented. The sermons were of a
thoroughly inspiring character,
and were heartily enjoyed by
large congregations, the speak
er having Il most clear-cut,
logical and eloquent way of pre-
seuting truths pertaining to
spiritual things. The services
will long be remem bered by
those attending,and willprove an
up-litt to the church all along the
line.
