Aberdeen, S. D., Aug. 25.-The
work of securing jury to try Emil

having but eight left, and the state re-

Up to last evening six jurymen had
been selected, being: Arthur Robin

Bottle PARTY.

Mrs. o. C. Born and Miss Maud
Tyrrell entertained several young ladies
in honor of Miss Wilkins, Tuesday,
August 18th, at the beautiful new
home of Mr.. Born. The affair was a
bottle shower, and in the early part of
the evening ladies carrying bottles of
all sizes and descriptions might have
been seen on the streets of our city.
When all the guests had arrived, each
one was furnished with a needle and
thread and given a towel to hem.
Later the towels, twelve in number,
were presented to Miss Wilkins by the
hostess.
After the towels were hemmed and
the hangers placed to the satisfaction
of Miss Wilkins and the young married
ladies present, a lovely lunch was
served. Miss Wilkins was then seated
and table covered with bottles, each
bearing card with some appropriate
receipt on it, was placed before her.
The bottle family was we'll represented
by big ones and little, fat and lean,
while one was so decorated as to bear
little resemblance to a bottle at all.
Miss Wilkins was delighted with the
bottles and their contents and great
merriment was caused by the reading
of some of the cards. The girls left at
late hour, leaving the doctor to carry
home the bottles and all declared they
had enjoyed a most delightful evening.

Penny Walk.

Mrs. James Nichols and Miss 10
Petersen entertained the B. o. Bs. and
their gentlemen friends Tuesday even
ing in honor of Miss Stella Wilkins.
The party was given at the home of
Miss Petersen and was most novel
affair, ''penny walk" being the
feature of the evening.
Shortly after the guests had arrived
pennies were passed to each and the
partners for the evening secured by
matching the dates. The gentlemen
then set their watches at exactly the
same time, and with their erstwhile
partners sauntered forth for a forty
five minute walk. At each corner
they got their directions by Tipping
a penny. If heads came up they went
to the right, if tails, to the left. AT
the end of the time allotted they were
to run to the house, the first couple
back to receive prize. This caused
no end of merriment and soon couples
were on their knees Tipping pennies at
the different corners all over town.
Casual passers-by were saddened by
the sight, but merely looked wise and
tapped their heads significantly. Some

grand rush for the Petersen home.

After all had been seated for fully
twenty minutes in rushed Miss Maybelle
Tyrrell and Mr.. Joe Bunday only t.,
receive the BOBBY prizes. They re-
ported splendid hour at the Grand.
Splendid refreshments were served,
after which Miss Wilkins was pre-

LAS VEGAS SHERIFF
DOESN'T WANT RICE
san Bernardino officials VIII Prose-
cute Him for Shooting an
Indian Trailer.

san Bernardino, Aug l6.-The Of
cials of this county nave been unable
20 learn from Sheriff Romero, of Las
Vegas whether he wants Edward
Rice for an offense committed in his
county, and unless the sheriff notifies
the officials here, Rice will probably
be prosecuted for shooting an indian
trailer who assisted in his recapture.
Rice was arrested in san Francisco
by Sheriff Romero and escaped from
the train at Needles while his guard
slept. h was later recaptured after
a deputy had shot and seriously
wounded him. but again escaped
from the hospital and was recaptured
after a desperate chase. So far, Sher-
iff Romero has not signifed what he
wants done with Rice, and unless ne
notifies the officials here soon, Rice
will be ropsecuted in this country.
