The old town will be utterly unpro-
tected while they are gone and it
seems pretty lonesome with so many
good fellows away.

ard had been taken to the hospital
at Lethbridge to be operated upon

Morton Enterprise: Tuesday, July
6, was gala day on the reservation
south of town, when the annual pic
mic and celebration of the Indians
took place. The town folks were
out in force to take in the festivities,
including a grand picnic and bowery
dance. The drawing card was the
Indian ball team pitted against the
Renville nine. From start to finish
it was plainly visible the Renville
boys were not in it.
That $1,000 of good roads money
which Redwood county had coming
to her by way of the pork barreP'
bill, will never materialize, or at
least not until some constitutional
way can be found to have it appro-
priated by future legislative body.
The supreme court last week unani-
mously ruled the act Of the legisla-
ture unconstitutional, and there will
be nothing doing with the 100000
appropriated. There is no use kick
ing about it, but the decision has
certainly brought about strained re-
lations between the legislative rep
resentatives from all over the state
and the city members. Whether
any retaliatory measures will be TAX
en- or not remains to be seen.
Bird Island Union: Word was
received at Bird Island Wednesday
afternoon from Raymond that Willie
Doyle, one Of the members of Car
ney & Henton's horse trading out
fit. was struck by lightning at three
o'clock that afternoon and killed in
stantly. There were four persons
in the camp wagon at the time.
Frank Carney, Clarence Times and
Willie Doyle of this place and Ray
Miller of Franklin. It was storming
very hard and Doyle went to the
door to see if the horses were all
right and was standing with one
hand against the top of the door
frame when the bolt struck the wag-
on. The other occupants were
stunned for a moment and Miller
received burn on the right side of
his neck. Doyle remained standing
for a moment and then pitched for
ward to the ground. The others i'm
mediately went to his assistance but |
he had met instant death.
