Of the old time dances were INDUCED

camp were given very realistic re-

former years.
On the Fourth they were addressed
by Father Jerome, who has been
among them for over Is years, and
by Ignatius Cort, one of the prominent
and popular men of the tribe.
It was a very pleasant occasion for
those in attendance and the Indians
look forward to their annual camping

circus make practice of picking up
all the hoboes that happen along and
hire them for various work around
the circus. Seven of these individuals
were unfortunately engaged by Coll
mar Bros, and because they were
getting misused they quit their jobs.
Each of them had made a contract
with the circus management to stay
the full season for which they were to
receive $25 per month for duties per-
formed. After joining they we're in
troduced to a contract which read that
they were to receive SIS per month
providing they left the circus before
the season was finished and if they
stayed the full season they we're to
receive the full S25.
M. H. Brennan was secured to bring
the attachment against the circus for
the salary which the management re-
fused to pay because they had quit
without giving the circus weeks
written notice as was agreed by the
contract which they had signed. The
circus management deposited $50 on
leaving town to handle the case and
Fred J. Tfaynor was secured to defend
the charges made by Edward Stevens,
with whom the other six had placed
their cases.
The hearing came before Justice
Jones Friday and they secured a small
Judgment, but they had to pay the ex-
penses of the hearing and when the
case ended there was a balance Of IS
and he informed these seven weary
willies that the next time that they
wished to get a judgment against
circus that they had better attach the
contents of the elephants trunk.

CELEBRATION AT
GRAND HARB0R

It was remembered there would be
horse race and ball game at Grand
Harbor on the Fourth, and seeking a
change we farmers of Penn put aside
the hoe and plow and on arrival were
astonished to discover it was an "old
fashioned Fourth of July celebration" I"
The procession was formed under
many flashing banners of red, white
and blue. A carpeted float, richly Or
namented and drawn by fine Black
horses carried many maidens* all dress
ed in white, representing all the states
of the union. Above these charming
daughters of the land stood a gracious
maiden as the white gddess of liberty,
waving the star spangled flag of iber-
ty, all constituting picture of ami
mated and fascinating beauty fit for
an artists brush or the poets fluent
pen. Then came in the long vehicle,
the band from DeGroat, assisted by a
few musicians from Churchs Ferry,
dseoursing the richest and most en-
hancing music along the route. The
band wagon was followed by other
carriages and citizens afoot
At the grand stand speeches were
made by Judge McClory and Judge
Cowan, followed by an original patriot
ic poem by Ex-Commissioner Barrett
of Churchs Ferry.
At the close of the literary exercises
the ball game and hrose races came on
in quick succession, the whole pro-
ceeding lasting from noon until six
o'clock in the afternoon.
William Hurst of Devils Lake was
chief of the day and found no diff
Guilty in handling the vast throng, for
sobriety and good behavior was appar-
ent on every hand .-...
The speech of Judge McClory was
one of the highest merit and of sal
utory and uplifting nature, and the
strong eloquent words of Judge Cowan
quickened the minds, delighted the
hearts and swayed the souls of the at
tentive listening yoemanry, while Mr..
Barrett's poem was replete with pat
riotic and inspiring fervor for it spoke
of the devoted soldier, his own great
uncle, Maitland Barrett, who with his
"old tlint-lock gun" "a weapon seen
and studied by Mr.. Barrett when he
was a small boy down in the state of
Maine) fought through all the revolu.
tion in defense Of freedom under the
immediate command of General Wash
ington, for whom he ever cherished
the highest reverence and love. +. !. IL

YOUNG MAN
IS DROWNED
Alfred Anderson Meets Watery Grave
on the Fourth o..

A pail was thrown over a large
crowd at the Chautauqua last Saturday
afternoon about 5 o'clock when the
news spread to all parts of the ground
that young man had been drowned.
Oscar Anderson, son of Representative
and Mrs. Bernt Anderson, of Churchs
Ferry, was drowned in Devils Lake the
Fourth. The young man had been
skating quite freely at the roller rink
and became heated up to decided ex-
tent and went to the lake to go in
bothing.
After getting his bathing suit on he
mounted the spring board which pro-
jects into the water and made a dive
and did not rise to the surface after
wards and although he may have been
taken with cramps, it is not probable,
and the only theory arrived at by the
medical profession is that the sudden
punging into the extreme cold water
while he was so heated stopped his
heart and consequently he drowned
before the body was removed from the
water.
the water at the time and saw him
when he leaped from the spring board
and thought nothing of it, but when
the body did not rise they became
alarmed and acted very thoughtlessly
and most Of them came to shore with
out making any effort to rescue him
After deliberating for several minutes
as to who should go into the water
after him several of those in the waite,
made efforts and walked out to theil
; necks in the water and returned tC
shore and several men who were or

their way to where he. had sunk ane

surface. He was Immediately taker
! to the docks where for two hours eff
forts were made by Drs. McGurrer
and Mohler of this city to revive the
pulsation of the heart, but it was use
less, as he had been in the watel
about 25 minutes, which is too long {
time.
The young man was about 1S years
of age and had come to the Chautau
qua to enjoy the celebration of the
Fourth with number of friends ant
! this sad ending was a severe blow tt
his parents. He was very brigh
young fellow. and had a good future
before him and his many friends viii

ing pronounced dead was removed tt
the undertaking rooms of E. w. Gil

burial and Monday the remains were
shipped to his parents in Church.

by the, fast gathering crowd. From
the time the doors were opened until

the chairman, had much difficulty in
securing order, being required to di-
rect the sargent-at-arms to clear the
aisles. It was exactly noon when the
chairman raped for order.
Chairman Taggart read his open

ton. This was followed by the Off
