The courts in such cases have proved
themselves more prompt in giving re-

teresting Fourth of July celebration
to be held in South Dakota this year
Dallas realizes her important position
as the end of the railroad and the
Sans domain further west, to which
so many will soon be looking for free
homes, and will take time by the fore
lock and produce celebration worthy
herself and the thousands who will be
interested to the extent Of coming
even hundreds of miles to see it. For
this celebration will be something
different. In the first place, Fourth
of July oratory of the usual sort will
be almost entirely tabooed The chief
speaker of the occasion will be Hollow
Horn Bear, noted old war chief and
at present the Daniel Webster of the
Sioux nation. The celebration will
begin on July 2 and last for three
days, and will be attended by fully
900 Indians who will furnish large
part of the entertainment. There will
be real Indian sham battles, and un
limited dancing and horse racing.
1t is understood that other towns
in this vicinity will not attempt tC
celebrate this year, but will cooperate
with Dallas in the effort to pull off the
biggest ever making it county af
fair. A special excursion train will
be run from Norfolk each of the three
days.

The News: The town council met

follows: Chairman, S. p. Alderman;
treasurer, II. E. Artus; attorney Hon.

committees on streets and sidewalks
were appointed.
1t was found that through the neg

never filed with the county clerk and
therefore the village funds will be
very deficient for the purpose of i'm

templated carrying forward this year.
The city having gone dry 1t was

Likens is a fearless young man and
