FOR A SILVER LOVING CUP
Horse Races, Foot Races and
the Human Race Will
Also be Seen

a balloon ascension With the at
tendant parachute leap will be a
top liner at the July Fourth cele-
bration in Mobridge. This will
be the first time a balloon was
ever sert up west of Aberdeen and
the attraction will undoubtedly be
a drawing feature, especially for
the long time residents of this Sec
ton Of the country-the Indian.
Another attraction which will
be out of the ordinary will be an
automobile race, something hereto
fore practically unheard Of in
South Dakota. There will Of
course be horse races and foot
races but the automobile race will +,
by its novelty, ATTRACT the human
race.
A Fourth celebration without 4
base ball game would be like q
mince pia without any cider, but
as this is to be q real celebration
a fast game has been arranged
LeBeau. against whose team Mo-
bridge will play at the old settlers
picnic next week, will contest with
the Mobridge champions here tho
Fourth, and lively game is
assured.
Music will be furnished by three
brass bands, a 5000 display Of
fireworks will be given at night,
and something will be doing all
the time in Mobridge on the glo-
rious fourth day OF July.

The Gamble bill opening To
white settlement al the unallotte,,
lands on the Standing Rock In.
dian reservation passed the L. s.
senate Yesterday afternoon.
This information, which will
mean much to Mobridge, comes in
the following telegram received by
the editor of this paper late last
evening from the senior senator
from this state. the telegram being
sent from Washington:
Arthur q. Keene, Mobridge,
S. d.: Passed my bill through
the senate this afternoon,
opening all the remaining
surplus and unallotted land
to settlement on the Standing
Rock Indian reservation in
North and South Dakota in
volving one million, two hun
dred thousand acres, Robert
j. Gamble.
This land is directly opposite
Mobridge, the southern boundary
Of the Standing Rock reserve be-
ing but few miles south of this
city and the eastern boundary be-
ing the Missouri river, The south.
ern tier Of townships in this reser-
vatlOn are now open and are being
filed on as we'll as a block in the
western part of the reserve. I'm
der the provisions of the bill
passed yesterday all the remainder
of the reservation will be opened
which will take in the land where
is situated Wakpala, Mclaughlin,
and several other growing towns.
Senator Gamble on April 6 Sc.
cured a favorable committee re.
port on opening this land as well
as the rest of the Cheyenne River
Indian reservation, but the bill as
passed affects only the standing
Rock. LeBeau is opposite the
Cheyenne and the Moreau and
Cheyenne branch lines traverse
that reservation, while the Cannon
ball line will pass through the
Standing rock.

CIT! COUNCIL
RECONSIDERS
LICENSES
Vote in Favor of Two
More Saloons in
Mobridge

BY voting to reconsider the
issuance Of liquor licenses and its
subsequent issuance of two H.
censes refused at its previous
meeting and the Withdrawing Cat
least for a temporary pcriOd) of
one license granted at q previous
meeting, the city council caused
something of commotion at it's
last session.
Councilman Clark, Woodbury.,
Nelson and Larson were the only
members present aside from Mayor
Stoltzman, Councilmen Harris and
Minton being out of the city.
City Attorney Clayton was present
early in the evening but left before
the license reconsideration came
up, being advised by the mayor
that lie need not remain as there
was nothing of Importance before
the meeting. The spectators were
few.
All other business was trans
acted first and then Alderman
Clark moved a reconsideration,
first OF three Of the petitions for
liquor licenses, aud then that all
be voted on again. Bert Menden.

received affirmative votes at the
meeting a week ago, again received
affirmative votes, j. +. Nicewon-
ger, whose petition was TUNED
down by unanimous vote q week
ago, and Hall & Brogan, who re-
ceived but one favorable vote at
that meeting, both received unanis
nous votes at the last session in
favor Of granting to them of Ii
censes. The application of Frank
W. Post, who was granted IL
cense at the first meeting by a
unanimous vote, was the last to be
reconsidered and this was laid on
the table.
The power of the council to
"juggle' with the applications
has been upheld by some and con
demned by others. The fact that
the prior date, when the licenses
were first voted, was advertised as
the time when interested parties
could appear before the council
and be heard regarding the issu-
ance or non issuance of the Ii
censes is held up by some as being
q reason why the aldermen were
without power to again take up
the question unbeknown to these
interested parties, while on the
other hand it is csntended that the
first vote was void inasmuch as
the aldermen voted by secret ball
lot. on the applications,
City Attorney Clayton is now
looking up the question and peo-
pie interested on both sides aver
that there will be sequel when
the council meets Monday evening.

Mobridge II
Mcintosh )
Mcintosh ball players lost the
swelling in their heads when they
went against Molridge on the
home grounds last Sunday after
noon, and they went home with a
decidedly different opinion as to
the kind of bail the champions can
play A good sized crowd wit
messed the game.
Burns and Pratt formed the
batteries for the home team, while
McHue and Conyne were the bat
teries for the visitors, until Macs
arm gave ont in the fatal eighth
inning and Wolff substituted. A
total of eighteen errors was made
by Mcintosh, to half that number
by the champions.
Up to the eighth inning the
game was interesting but in this
inning the visitors went up in the
air and nine scores were run in by
Mobridge, Burns bringing in two
and Traax, Potter, Fie, Patten,
Stevens and Pratt each bringing
in one. Prior to this inning the
score was ) to | in favor Of Mo-
bridge, the McIHtosh team bring

fatal eighth. There was nothing
doing after the eighth.
Neither side scored in the first
inning, though Stevens made
pretty play here, knocking three

Wolff brought in a score for the
visitors or a tumble. In the third
inning Pratt and Burns each
scored. Stevens really won an
other score for the champions IN
the fourth inning, but to save
wrangling he went back to the
base where he died. Stevens stole
second base. or rather to where
the second base bag should have
been. The entire Mcintosh nine
crowded around to see that the bag
was firmly spiked down and while
they were chewing about 1t SteV-
ems beat it for the third base.
The pitcher threw the ball to third,
Wolff missed it and Stevens came
home. The visitors started to
wrangle and Stevens went back 20
the second base. Burns and
Tr,lax each scored in the fifth IN

game stood for two innings. In
