Late Saturday evening Charles
Brunette died. after a lingering
illness Of several months dura-
ton. Burial took place per order
of the county authorities Sunday
night. Through the aid Of
friends the deceased had been
sent east some three week ago,
but physicians at Rochester gave
him no hope, and about two
weeks ago he returned to await
the end Brunette was one Of
the early residents Of Lennon,
working as cook in various
restaurants until illness com
PEELED him to quit. No relatives
are near, and it appears the
deceased left no directions as to
where any could be found or
nOtfied. A little over year ago
he was married to a young
#oman, but this appears to have
been heavy with disappoint-
ments. Southwest Of town he
held homestead, on which he
never proved up. 1t is sad
thought to realize that a man as
well known as 'Charlie'
Brunette should be hurried off to
his final rest in the darkness of
night, without even single
friend accompanying him on his
last journey.

Yesterday in justice court
hearing was had against Bill
Dunn and Geo. Walsh, for alleged
grand larceny, The case in
point was the claim on the part
of the state of the stealing Of
two horses belonging to Cutler
1t appears that Cutler lost a
mare and a gelding colt. Later
he learned that the horses We're
in Dunn's pasture; on investiga
tion the gelding was found there,
and on this evidence the inform
ant made his allegation. The
defendants were let go on bail.
and in yesterday S trial it was
shown clearly that the colt had
followed Dunn, VINO drove
Walsh S mare, an animal looking
much like the missing animal
That efforts had been made to
scare the gelding back, but to no
avail. and that when the animal
got into the pasture. Dunn and
Walsh made it generally known
that they had the animal in thcil
keeping. They were dismissed.

Postal Savings Bank.

The Lennon post office has
been designated a postal savings
bank. The government is as yet
rather chary iE passing around
the honors of this new innova-
ton, the last appointment cover
ing only SO Offices. The nearest
to Lennon is Dickinson, N. d.
The Lennon Office will open
its saving bank department June
26th. Prior thereto, Postmaster
Doherty will have to go to Wah-
peton, N. D., where the scheme
was first established in the
Dakotas, to attend a school of
instruction, to be held there
June 10Th and Goth.
The government pays two per
cent interest to depositors. The
general workings of the plan will
be noted in these columns when
the bank is to be opened.

Welcome, Travelling Men

Lennon today is dressed in
gala in honor of the South
Dakota Travelling Mems Associa-
ton, which a year ago decided
to hold it's annual convention at
Lennon. The Knights of the
Grip, with their best smile and
heartiest handshake, are with us
today and will continue as our
guests tomorrow.
The city, in fact the entire
community, feel deeply the honor
which this happy occasion
bestows upon US. To be singled
out from among msny well
established towns, and from
among numerous other bidders
for the distinction is an honor
which Lennon holds not lightly,
and we hope to have the travellers
say, as they again scatter abroad
for another years work, that
Lemons cheer, Lemmon's S
hospitality and attractive minis
trations, were of the right sort
and adequate to the occasion.
Gentlemen of the Travelling
Mems Association, the city is
yours, and every opportunity at
enjoyment will be yours to par
take of at your own sweet will.
Make the most of it.

The New Train Service.

Who knows when the trains
come and go? Since with Mon
day the c. M. & P. S. put in it's
sweeping change in the passen-
ger service, everybody and his
girl are up in the air" when. it
comes to the train service. How
ever, since now there are four
distinct trains each way, daily,
1t does not matter much, for if
we do fail to catch the one, it's
an easy matter to wait for the
next, which will be along in a
little while.
There's no need to eXpatiate
on the service -t the trains and
their equipment reference is
made to the Columbian and the
Olympian, and, be it said, both
the proud gods of old Olympus
and the heroes of the Columbian
era would marvel at them-let 1T
suffice to say that the railway
company has left nothing undone
to make the trains the best that
ingenuity can devise. The fea-
ture OF the through service is the
new model observation car. in
which every scheme calculated
to add to the luxurious comforts
OF the roads guests has been
taken cognizance Of, such as tea
tables, smoker, library, barber
shop and baths. The sleepers
are constructed entirely with the
compartments on the right side,
thus assuring travellers an un-
obstructed view at all times. The
entire train is lighted electrically.
The dining car service is superb,
and entirely a la carte.
Lennon comes in for special
recognition, as the water served
for drinking purposes is secured
here from our 20O-fo wells, and
the menu cards of the service
make mention of this fact. The
passage of the new trains along
the whole line received deserving
attention at all points, Lennon
not being behind in recognition
OF this epochal achievement of
the Milwaukee, there being some
800 people at the depot to well
come the first day train on
Tuesday.

When a week ago Harry Riis
left, very few even of his confd-
ants diyined the object of the
trip that took him away from his
position Of right bower" to the
versatile T. 0. Only when on
Thursday night he again hove
to, it became plain that Harry
had slipped one over on his
friends" and that smile that
won't come off, still broader than
ever before, and the presence of
young lady whom he forthwith
introduced as Mrs. Rils were
evidence that he was just return
ing from a wedding trip. And
thus 1T was. May 3Oth at a
quite function, in the presence
of the relatives only Of the high

were pronounced husband and

ed pleasant home on Fourth

fluctuations upon their marital
estate.
