On Tuesday Of this week ar
rangements were made by the
business men Of this city for the
presentation of the Big Altman
Brothers Carnival company to be
here the week July 28th to Aug
ust End inclusive. This company
will furnish amusement of varied
and various nature each after
noon and evening and it will be
a treat for our citizens as we'll as
the people in the surrounding
territory.
It is said to be one of the lar
gest and best carnival aggrega-
tions on the road today, and an
idea Of it's immensity can be
gained from the fact that it III
cludes 265 people and 18 cars
are required to transport the
show.
Among the attractions are a
big show Of trained animals;
the Panama canal, a perfect
working model Of the great en-
gineerinf undertaking; a 54-foot
Ferris wheel, carrying 48 people
a loop-the-gap; jungle land. in
which hundreds of small animals
from the tropics are shown; Gre
alton; 15-piece concert band;
latest improved merry-go-round;
Ia massive orchestra pipe orgain;
flying trapeze and many other
aerial acts.

CHRIS sARToRk|piEs .

Chris Sartori, who has been a
resident Of these parts during
the past four and one-half years
passed away at the st. Joseph's
hospital at Dickinson last Satur~
day morning at 1890 o'clock
after he had underwent an OPP
Grafton for appendicitis. A
short time ago Mr.. Sartori was
taken i'll and advised to go to
hospital as it was known that
he had a bad case of appendicitis
He left for Dickinson immedi-
ately and after the operation
passed away. He was about So
years of age, and came to vi
baux from Lockport, ILL.,, where
the body was shipped for burial
on Monday afternoon. Mrs.
Sartori and one of her sons ac-
companied the body to that
point.
Besides a wife he leaves two
girls and four boys to mourn his
loss. The many friends extend
their sympathy to the bereaved
family, in this their hour of sor-
row

of Wibaux knows Tom Rush and
is complimenting him upon his
success in landing this political
job. Now. when any one has a
kick to register, don't run. around
after a policeman but tell it to
Tom for if there is any agree
able way under the sun to
straighten matters out, Tom is
the man that can do it. We
predict that Mr.. Rush will give
satifactory service in his new
position and after he gets broke
into the harness the postoffice
will be run along just the same
as if,nothing had happened.
Miss Farley has been retained
and'Miss Theresa Rush has been
added to the force, and with
this efficient force the postoffice
duties will be cared for in a very
capable manner.
MI. Williamson, stated to the
Pioneer that he did not know
just'what he would do as yet but
the .:Wibaux people will wish him
success in whatever he under
takes to do for we are all sure
thate,he will manage his new du-
ties ii that capable way in which
he managed the Wibaux post
ofie during the five years that
he acted as postmaster. The
Pioneer wishes the retireing
.postmaster the best Of success
and trusts that he will continue
Ito make this city his home. On
1.-The other hand welcome Mr..
tRush to the postoffice and from
past experiences We know that
f.he will make a success Of his
fneW duties. In the meantime
the world will continue to Move
Fon and changes will be made the
same as before.

Big Roundup
Was a Success

The Big Roundup At Miles
City on the $-4-5. proved very
successful indeed. A represen-
tstion Of days gone by was Civ
en- and plenty of amusement Of
all kinds was in store for those
who took in the sights during
those days. A great many Wi
baux people went to Miles City:
on the 3rd. while others stayed.
until the. morning of the 4th
when No. 5 was stopped to take
them on. The 4th proved to be
the best day and all the stunts
were pulled off as per schedule.
One of the features of the. big
celebration was that the Wi
baux band was hired for the oc-
casion and they made a "hit''
with every one as they played
the very latest music and they
kept at it throughout the day
and evening. While we were
there We overheard we over
heard . great many compliment
tary remarks about the band
and the exceptionally: good mu-
sic they were furnishing: AS
the band marched through the
streets one could, hear the re-
mark ''Hurrah for Wiboux" on
all sides and from what We infer;
tina Wibaux has = great many
friends in other parts Of this
great state. y. ..~..
Another feature was the play
given by the Elks eutitled the
yellow Girl. This proved a
treat indeed for it was a great
deal better than the majority Of
plays one sees in the large cities.
1t was made up Of local talent
and if one was not aware of this
fact, it would have been un-
noticeable, for they all played
their parts exceptionally WELL.
Eugene Quaw wrote the words
and music for the play and he is
to be complimented on his talent
in this line. Mr.. ,Quaw is Z mu-
sician from Bozeman, and he led
the Orchestra himself; He is
certainly q remarkable musician
and his efforts were we'll appre-
ciated, The play was first class
in all respects and, We have yet
to see anything that could beat
it.
All in all, the 1918 Roundup
was q success and everyone who

Rush Assumes
His New, Duties

During a lifetime many chan
ges take place but the world
moves on just the same as if
nothing had happened. Times
change and people come and go
but even this seems to make. no
particular difference to that race
called humanity. There is plen-
ty Of wind prevalent at all times
and. hot air is dispensed in large
quantities, but still the world
never ceases to keep-rotating on
its axes. The old merchants
and politicians are replaced with
new people and faces and at GER
tain times public feeling is run
ming at a high rate of speed
when changes are talked about
and rumored, but the grand old
world moves on and rumored
changes take place as. in times
Of yore.-' '.~~,.
Y. A very few months age, ,sthe.
Pioneer came out with the state,
ment. that Thos. Rush Of this
city had been appointed post
master. Some. were skepticaT
about believing our statement
while others talked about a ru-
NOR. Of the, present postmaster
being: ! retained. !. The, Pioneer
never;swayed from it's. track and,
shortly after published the no.
tice that Mr.. Rush had been
confirmed. ~.StiA.<people talked
and wondered, PatblS1ness kept
coming at that rapid.;pace that
has gained muchsfame for the
little, city; Of .Wibailx. The tl{. world
never stopped moving,. naither

Supreme Court
Gives. Decision

!. The supreme court. in a decision
yesterday by JUSTICE. Sanner, held
that writ Of mandate should issue
in the Fsllon county case; and d1::
rected the county commissioners
of Custer county to reconvene,
within Is days, annul orders in
conflict with the. views out: lined
in the decision, and to proceed in
accordance with' the courts ruiz
ings.
The action was brought OH the
grounds that the county commits:
sioners acted illegally. in their pro-
ceedings with reference to'the for
nation Of the new county Of F'al-
lon. and that they had :favorably'
passed upon withdrawal petitions
signed BY 50; PET cent of..the regis.
tered voters, instead 4 oE:a qualified
electors. The supreme court says
on this subject: . i. :.
ut is the intent Of section 2 Of
the new counties act that q count,

territory shall be signed by SO per
cent Of. the persons residing ii
such territory who possess the CON.

ors, and not, as; was contented, by
SO per cent of the. electors residing
in such territory who have ..regist&

The supreme court further ,lleia
that the. board should not upon
the hearing eliminate from. lhs
counter petitions for exclusion the
names of those whose withdrawal
was filed before the. final action, Of
the board, but after. the date fixed
for the bearing The board. can
not upon.the hearing entertain y
protest against the new county, or
a counter petition for the exclu-
sion of territory, filed before the
final action of the board, but after
