CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
Two Strangers Near Ethan Arrested
on Charges of Assault on
Theodore Rinehart.

Fred Thorpe and Albert Walters
were arrested near Ethan Monday
evening on TIE charge OF making an
assault on the person of Theodore
Rinehart. Constable Sullivan made
the arrest and Deputy Plotner and
William Pattison went to Ethan in
the evening and brought them to
Mitchell. Tuesday Thorpe and
Walters were brought before Justice
Markham. Owing to the absence OF
States Attorney Spangler, who ia
attending court at Woonsocket, the
preliminary examination was post
poned until Thursday morning at II
O'Clock.
Thorpe and Walters have been
breaking some prairie land down
northwest OF Ethan and they had
worked up 4 trade with Rinehart
and his son for a horse, and the
father and son went down to the
camp of the men Monday afternoon
to inspect the animal. After looking
him over Rinehart declined to make
the trade. After some talk about
the matter, young Rinehart claims
that he was struck with q whip and
further along in the melee the old
gentlemen received a very severe cut
in the back Of the head. which he
alleges, was done with a neckyoke.
The physician found it necessary
to tako several stitches IN the
wound, and he is not yet satisfied
but what the skull might be broken.
Thorpe and Walters assent that
they did not strike the old gentleman
but that lie either fell against a part
of the wagon or was kicked in the
head by II of the horses. The
defendants recently came through
here from Oklahoma and stopped at
Ethan to do some breaking. They
are on their way to points in North
Dakota.

showing. each having but three

The closing track event was the
half mile relay race. in which some
six or seven teams were entered, and
it was necessary to run the teams in

were conceded TO be the fastest and
they we're placed In separate squades.

team which made the best time
should be accorded the victory.
Under those circumstances the pace
was a killing one from start to

shape.

FOR a BOOSTER BANQUET
Business Men Will Get Together i,
Good Fellowship for Banquet
June q.

At the annual meeting of the
Mitchell Club. held at the club rooms
Thursday night, report Vas heard
from the Commercial Committee and
Commissioner on the work of that
organization during the past year.
While there were not as many in
attendance as the importanc. of such
a meeting naturally should demand,
the enthusiasm on Jhe part of those
present. in Il great measure, made
up for the lack in number.
The commissioners report was
ordered printed for distribution
among the supporters of the Club
and Others who are interested in the
welfare of the city. a committee
was appointed to select and recon-
mend to the meeting seven members
to serve on the executive committee

the reelection of the present COM
mittee, consisting Of Messrs. o. L..
Branson, Fl, ID. Butterield, d. B.
Miller, W. e. Turner, Robert Burns,
John Micllels and L. w. Seaman,
which recommendation was adopted
over the objection of some of the
members who felt, that for the good
OF the work. some new blood should
be injected.
There seemed to be a general feel
ing that a little more sociabllily
would be helpful to all concerne ]
and that the suggestion made 10y
the commissioner souue time ago to
give all annual banquet should be
taken up. This met with unanimous
support, aud a committee was
appointed TO have full charge of the
matter, composed OF III. z. Kibbee,
~. II. Hitchcock and S. Scallin.
Also a committee on entertainment,
consisting of Lewis Shuster, W. a.
Barber and Commissioner Ness.
These committees are already at
work. The date has not heen
definitely selected, but it will pro-
badly take place on Thursday, June:.4-
The committee plans to issue in
%vitations to all supporters of the
Commercial Club work and business
and professional men who are inter
ested in the welfare and growth OF
