AN INDIAN POW WOW
THE SISSETON SIOUX HAVE
TWO DAYS OF BIG TIME
GROUNDS NEAR ENEMY SWIM
July 4 and 5 Spent in Indian
Reve1ery, Races, Dances, A
Sham Battle and Other
Sport Base Ball Game
to Entertain Whites

Probably the largest crowd to attend
a celebration were those gathered at
the Indian pow WOW which was held at
for two days near Shepard's pass at
Enemy Swim. We have heard the
crowd of Indians variously estimated
at from 500 to 1900 and all say that
there were more white people than
Indians present. Each entire day was
given to Indian dances games and
sports. When one crowd of enter
tanners were worn out or exhausted
another was substituted and the enter
tainment was continuous. A splendid
ball game was pulled off each day.
Onething that all the visitors from
here were unanimous in was their sur
prise at the splendid order which the
Indian police preserved among the
entire crowd.

not present on either day, you missed
one of the very best times of the year.
The races were run, the ball games
were played, the fireworks set off, fine
music discoursed by good bands, the
bowery dances kept busy-a source of
continuous pleasure for the young folks
There was no grating, wrangling OF

Toe's Celebration

A Fourth of July celebration was
advertised for Joe Carr's grove south
of Webster and great many of our
people took advantage of the oppor-
tunity for cool afternoon. The races
and games were clean and well con-
Quoted and there was not single
"battle" to mar the pleasure of the
day. The base ball game between
North Webster and Highland township
resulted in victory for the former
with score of 10 to 6. The bowery
dance in the evening, music for which
was furnished by johnson Bros. orches-
ira, furnished much pleasure for the
young folk and lasted until late hour.
No better time was had anywhere
than at Joe's picnic.

The concert given by Mrs. Beulah
Buck under the auspices of the young
ladies Sodality society of the Catholic
church at the opera house last Thurs
day evening is spoken of by all present
as one of the very best things ever
put on in Webster. Mrs. Buck was
exceptionally good at her former
appearance in Webster but all who saw
and heard the lady Thursday night say
she has improved considerably. The
assistance rendered by the Misses
Williams was very material. The only
feature of the concert which was not
satisfactory was the attendance which
was not large owing to the extreme
heat. We think we voice Che senti-
ments of all present when we say the
concert was one of the very best and
most entertaining ever given in Web
ster.

A Series of Accidents

We heard of no bad accidents in
Webster during the celebration days.
Everyone seemed to have been very
careful.
On the Fourth Of July at the Indian
pow WOW at Enemy Swim lake horse
was driven over young boy, son of
Frank Owens, and the child's foot quite
badly injured.
Wednesday Gus Gruba, at the Indian
celebration, tried holding cannon fire
cracker until it went off. He lost a
thumb and three fingers on one hand
and was taken to Waubay in an auto
mobile where DR.. Doupe fixed him up
as well as possible.
At the same celebration, Abraham
Crawford's boy was caught between
two wagons and his arm badly crushed.
Henry Hopkins got mixed up in the
sham battle that Indians put on and
received load of gun wads in his leg,
making bad wound.
A small boy on the night OF TIE
Fourth, in front of Mohs e. Karpen's
furniture store, set fire to a bunch OF
fire crackers in his coat pocket. He
shed the coat and escaped injury.

is one of the best in the state, was in

meeting was the performance of Miss

heart of every horse lover in the
crowd.
The free attractions were good, fully
coming up to the advertised promises.

WAOBAY NOW HAS SALOONS

Two Years of no License
Day Properly Celebrated
and from Reports no
Advertising Neces-
sary in Securing
a Big Crowd

We have heard some very funny
stories as regards to opening at Wau-
bay Saturday. Here is one of them:
'The people of Waubay Saturday,
men only regardless of color, nation
atty and religion, met to celebrate the
breaking of the two years drotuh.
Tony Block, the saloon keeper imported
from Granville, was the only one of
the three who had been granted a
license that was ready for business and
they do tell that he is always ready
license or no license, day or night, be
that as it may, he was ready. Neither
of the Waubay editors nor the Con-
gregational preacher were at the
opening so few lines might interest
youZ readers. There were about six
teen bartenders, there were tubs OF
ice water in which to cool the beer
that was never in it long enough to
get chilled. In the afternoon there
were DRINKS or men who had beer
suddenly overcome with the heat
strung all over the city. The residents
were all getting their dry Stats soaked
up-many of them got soaked in the
head. There were eyes gouged out and
fingers bit off. Policemen were put
out of business. Tony showed 'em how
he used TO run saloon in Grenville and
he was out to get the money. But sag
that opening day means no license next
year in Waubay."

StOp Driving East

We were looking out of our office
window on the evening of the third
when we saw little girl about six or
seven years of age riding a bicycle
almost instantly she started for the
sidewalk, we know she was frightened
and then saw the cause of her alarm
three metorcyclists racing up Main
street. The little girl escaped injury
that time. She was surprised and SO
were we. You men who are so fortu-
nate as to own gasoline vehicles should
have some respect and care for the
rights of others. If you desire to race
go to the fair grounds.

Dear SIR
A pretty home wedding took
place at the home of the brides par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Wyman Rider, in
Day county, on Wednesday, June 18th,
at 200 p. m.
Thinking the information would be
useful to you send the follwing:
Albert Severson, the bridegroom, is
one of Day county's energetic, reliable,
most successful, highly respected and
widely acquainted young farmers.
The bride was Miss Tacy Rider, eld-
est daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Wyman
Rider, and has been a popular and very
successful teacher in the schools of
Day county for several years.
Miss Blanche, youngest sister of the
bride played the wedding march.
Rev. D. G. Radcliffe, of Florence,
performed the ceremony.
Communicated.

i.oV p. m. Tor M0Drldge, their next
stand.
In an attempt to run the parade up
Main street the elephants were taken
out of the procession and driven down
to tear up the ropes but refused to obey
their driver. A man on horseback
belonging to the circus came rushing
up the street at gallop and hit the
ropes. He was thrown off his horse
and the attitude of the crowd towards
him was such that he was glad to get
away as quickly as possible. We do
not believe the Yankee Robinson circus
or any other circus will ever again
attempt to override the citizens of this
city. We are more than pleased at the
way the citizens Of Britton and the
surrounding country stayed by the city
council and the committee in charge of
the celebration. Their support was
greatly appreciated by them in the con-
troversy with the circus and in patron
izing the race meeting instead of the
circus afterwards.
The Britton band is also entitled to
great deal of commentator for the
liberal spirit in which they helped the
program along and we heard many
mention the excellence of the music
they gave. We are certain no other
band in the state which has been organ
lied for so short time can equal
them.
The committee will endeavor to pub
lish report next week if it is possible
to do So.
