II. S. Lefevre just loves to play a
practical joke on someone, SO natural
ly his friends are always laying for a

some meat and when he laid his
p~ocketbook down on the counter
mike" slipped it into the cash
drawer. Ted did not miss the pocket
book, which had considerable money
and some valuable papers in it, until
he got home and then he anne down
to the Register Office to advertise for

Deadwood and announces the annual
meeting of the Chicago, Black Hills

citation, to be held there March 81

city, was one of the organizers of the
association and will speak at the

mems tournament in the summer and
the object of the dance is to raise
funds to defray their expenses. Much
good material for a team is in the de-
partment and Jim" Temple has
agreed to train the boys, so there Is
no good reason why Brookings should
not send out a team that will be a
credit and an advertisement for the
city. The fire department is one of
our very necessary institutions and
the boys services are unpaid and un-
