has gained the reputation Of
being the most dare devil auto
mobile driver In the Black Hills

in 81 minutes. Not content with
this feat, Nash drove his ma
chine up the steep hill from
Custer to Sylvan Lake, then,
turning around, the descent was
made at almost lightning rapid
ity. For an experiment the ma
chine then was started back
ward up the steepest ascent to
the lake, which is several thou

point, the new mayor Of Aberdeen, DIR.
H. j. Rock, has placed the lid on, and

aid and consent of the saloon men, II
possible, but despite their resistance,
should they see fit to fight the city ad-
ministration.

keepers to his office for a conference,
and there was a large attendance. He
proceeded to inform them that during
his administration the saloons must
close at IL o'clock at night and on Sun
days; that no liquors must be sold to
minors; that no liquor must be sold to
women and girls in restaurant annexes
to saloons and that, If he had his way,

the needs Of a city Of less than 10000
inhabitants.
