TO PLACE BISON ON
BLACK HILLS RESERVE

Pierre, s.. D., July s14.-An effort is
being made to secure congressional ac-
ton looking toward the establishing of
a national bison park within the Black
Hills Forest reserve, presumably some-
where on Rapid creek. For this purpose
"Scotty" Philip has agreed to divide his
herd held on the Missouri river as il
is becoming too large for the range
which he has. Such a move would aid
in the propagation and increase of
these animals In the Northwest, and
the Black Hills section is looked upon
as very favorable to the handling and
propagation of. these animals, once so
plentiful in the Northwest, but becom-
ing more and more rare, and harder
to secure.

MARRIAGE REVEALED
A YEAR AETERWARD

Vermillion, s. d., July 1.-THE peo-
pie Of Vermillion were under the i'm
preston last week that the blind god
had been extraordinarily busy there;
as a rule a wedding is not usually very
remarkable, but in this instance it is
so. When Louie Magnetism, head
clerk in the grocery department of Lee
& Prentis' general store, prepared to
leave for a months vacation his fellow
clerks thought he was going on his
honeymoon as they had understood his
courtship with the bookeeper, Miss
Myrtle Vaughan. However, when Mr..
Magnetism was presented with a gift,
he gave his friends a piece of news
that they had not learned.
Instead OF being married at this
time, he stated that the ceremony had
been performed in Sioux Falls a year
ago, but that both he and his wife
had kept 1t a secret until this time,
and not even the closest friends had
been the wiser.
