Wagner, S. D., Aug. 12.-The head
liner for the Labor day celebration in
this city September 2 is a flight by
Hillery Beachy, in one of the latest
curtiss bi-planes. Two exhibitions will
be given. The other free attractions
will be a baseball game, horse races.
foot races. Indian war dance, a comedy
and vaudeville entertainment on the
streets almost continuously during the
entire day.
Fol the last IL years Wagner has an
nually celebrated this day. Coming in
the fall of the year when there are no
other celebrations, 1t has been very
largely attended by the people from
tn surrounding towns and country, and
the city has become of more than state
wide reputation owing to the splendid
programs furnished. This year will
surpass my heretofore held. Possibly
because Wagner will be the candidate
for the county seat Of this county at
the coming election, the people of the
city have determined to give the people
of Charles Mix and adjoining counties
a more splendid entertainment than
heretofore.
The Milwaukee railroad will run ex-
cursion trains from Yankton to Wag-
ner M also from Platte east. and II
Is expected that large crowds will be
here from adjoining counties, as well
as from Charles Mix county. The peo-
pie are making elaborate preparations
to entertain the people in every way.

Fremont, Neb., Aug. 1O.-Following
brief funeral services late yesterday af-

Alexandria, S. D., boy who persisted in
a gasoline storage pit on the Burling-
ton right of way, was sent to Alexan-
dria, where his father, the Rev. P. o.
Blunt, is a Methodist minister. Young
Blunt was highly popular with his as
sociates. He came here six months ago
to learn the carriage makers trade in
the large factory conducted by his
uncle, John Blunt. When the factory
was burned four weeks ago, he sought
temporary employment with the rail-
road company. The inquest developed
some strange facts. All of the men
who entered the pit for the purpose of
rescuing young Blunt experienced what
they called a queer" sensation. They
testified there were four inches of gas
oline on the floor. The cock was still
open, flowing a steady stream. Bunt's
face was covered with the fluid. Evil
IDENTIFY he had tainted from the fumes
and fallen to the floor, while the tap in
the tank remained open. The gasoline
spread over the floor and then over his
face, drowning him.
