THE ROSEBUD HAS MANY LIDS
Norfolk Man Says It Is Losing De-
lights of The Frontier.

llynlS VI NC TIoiit'SIs
"The Rosebud isn't what it use to
be-" walled a Norfolk man who re-
turned this morning from Gregory
county trip. There Is something re.
freshing about new town, the rough
edges and all that. But these Gregory
county towns are forgetful Of their
duty as frontier towns. Instead of
keeping the South Dakota frontier in
easy riding distance for sightseers
they are putting it under cover, stamp
ing lids all over everything and all
that
"Its got so that the only way
you can tell these new Gregory towns
from old places is that there is more
energy loose per capita, that there is
more business being transacted to the
square foot and a few uninteresting
items like that.
"The day before got to Gregory the
card tables, chairs and gambling de.
vices were all cleaned out of the sa'
looms. Gregory is very much on the
'liddy lid order. The whole county
had the attorney general of the state
over last week to see how good they
could be.
1.-THE Trip rush won't be like the
good old Bonesteel rush. There'll be
thousands and thousands of people
but it will be a settled community in
stead of wild country in the making
There is a big movement towards the
Rosebud right now. You can see it IL
the crowds on the Bonesteel line

Convention Tells of Mems Club.
Sioux City, June 27.-Whether Sioux
City will have a Y. M. G. A. business
mems club similar to the one at York,
Neb., has not been decided but the
plan will be considered in the near
future by the board of directors, who
listened to an explanation of it's adj
vantages and possibilities by w. D.
Mead
Eight of the most prominent Y. M
C. A. workers in Sioux City listened
to the Nebraskans talk, which fol
lowed a dinner at the association
building at 6:15 o'clock, and it is con
ceded the plan has merit.
The York club has seventy mem
bers, and it's membership is limited tc
100. 1t has been in operation two
years and meetings are held monthly
for the purpose Of promoting socia
bility and taking up business matters
The club is practically Independent O.
the association, having private rooms
baths ETC., but it looks to the genera
welfare of the Y. NJ. c. A., assisting II
a financial way with Improvement!
and privileges for members wheneve
needed.
York is a city of 5000 people ant
the business mems club Is the mos
influential organization of that char

The future OF the Y. NJ. c. A. build.
ing movement will be discussed and
In a large way determsned at a con-
ference to be held in this city on or
about July 10 between State Secretary
]. p. Bailey and Norfolk men who
have a prominent part in bringing
the local fund up to $4,000,
1t had been planned originally to
have Mr.. Bailey in Norfolk tomorrow
for a meeting at the Methodist church,
but the new day was fixed at the in
stance Of the state secretary who is
going into the Rosebud country to
look up some matters connected with
the Indians about July 10 and who
will then pass through Norfolk.
Another reason suggesting the
change OF dates was the fact that Sec.
rotary Bailey had not been able to
put his hands on the right man to
come to Norfolk and take charge OF
the local campaign.
The return to Norfolk of d. Mathew
son from an eastern visit has had the
effect of stimulating local interest to
some extent.

Well Pounded But Not Sore.

Wednesday evening was pray
er meeting time at the Christian
church. The pastor, Elder White,
went to prayer meeting of course
and during his absence from
home the members of his church
and other friends took advantage
of him any burglarized his place
not in the usual burglar man
ner but rather left at his home a
large amount of the good things
to eat which every minister's
family likes. From his actions
it was evident that the pastor
was surprised at the extraordi-
narily large crowd which was
present at the services as the
crowd went by the home, left the
goods, and then went to the
meeting. After the services were
over the crowd went with the
pastor to the home and spent the
evening enjoying the surprise
which was evident. At a late
hour the people dispersed after
a pleasant evening carrying with
them the thanks of the preacher
who, as he says, enjoys pound
ing when it don't hurt any more
than that"

RECEIvERSHIP
ON LIGHT PLANT
JUDGE BROWNING GRANTS INJUNCTION
AGAINST SALE BY TRUSTEE DA PARK.
Court Appoints Frank A. White Of Amarillo as
Receiver to Manage the Conn.,
panys Business.

There have been various and
numerous doings regarding the
the plant of the Canyon City
Ice and Light Company during
the past few months and they
have terminated in a receiver
ship proceeding which began in
the District Court last Monday.
1t seems that there has been
some dissention in the ranks of
the stockholders on account of
the cost of the plant which by
far exceeded the expectations of
those who were promoting the
Enterprise and when the plant
was completed nearly year ago
it was considered to be one of
the best small plants ever erect
ed in the Southwestern country
but the expense had run the
company into debt from which
it seems not to have recovered.
The First National Bank of
this city held first deed of trust
against the property, then the
Fulton Lumber Company estab-
lished a lumberman's lien after
which the General Electric Com
pany came along with their claim
Of about 100000 and took a
deed Of trust. Then there are
other minor matters which are
unsecured.
The Fulton Lumber Company
first tried to foreclose their lien
but were blocked when the bank
ordered it's trustee to sell under
deed of trust which sale was to
have taken place last Tuesday.
Monday the General Electric
Company filed suit in the Dis
trict Court for an Injunction, en-
joining the Trustee from the sale
of the plant and an application
for a receiver for the property
which application was granted
by Judge Browning at Amarillo
last Monday, whereupon Judge
Browning appointed Frank A.
White of Amarillo as a receiver
for the entire plant and all its
belongings.
Mr.. White came down Tues
day afternoon and took charge,
placing w. M. Ross in charge of
the plant here for the present to
represent the receiver. The re-
ceiver is under a so, 100000 bond.
1t is not likely that anything
more Of importance will trans
pire until the February term Of
the District Court at this place
and just what will be the out.
come cannot now be stated.
1t is the intention of the re.
ceiver to continue the operation
of the plant until final disposal
under order of the Court.
