Mayor Wagner is
Possessor Of a Car

There is nothing strange about al
most any man buying an automobile
now days, but in Mayor Wagner's
case it is an exception. While every
body else was buzzing around in their
cars and enjoying Soy riding the
mayor was content with his old .'hay
burner" He said he would never
buy a car until he saw one that just
suited him. He said that he did not
intend to try to keep in style and buy
a new car every year or two and he
would wait until he saw something
that locked good to him before he
could be separated from his hard earn
ed money.
In the course of events Isidor Han
ten came along one day this spring
and invited the mayor to take little
ride in a new 81" Studebaker. The
mayor reluctantly accepted The invi-
tation, but once seated in the car the

First Band Concert
on Friday May l6

The Fourth Regiment Band has
been hard at work for the past month
or more in preparation for the open
ing of the concert season. Several
new musicians have been added to
the organization this year and taken
all in all, the band will be in most
excellent condition.
Director w. S. Peck states that the
first concert will be given on Friday
evening, May 16, the weather being
fave. able. 1t is planned to give a
concert each Friday evening during
the summer, as has been the practice
in the past.
G. w. Schulze, manager of the band,
was in Huron the first part of the
week, where he met with the state
fair board and closed contract for
the appearance of the Fourth Regi.
ment band at the annual state fair
this fall. The local band has been
the official band of the state fair for
several years and has made such q
good impression that the trip seems
assured each year in the future.
Several out of town dates have al
ready beer planned, and others are in
prospect, included in which are trip
to Denver Colo, one to Madison, S.
D., and one to Mitchell.
The value of the band as an adver-
tising medium for the city can hardly
be estimated and it is hoped that the
organization will be continued for
many years as one of Watertowns
best boosters

cheerfully. conscientiously and con-

like any other corporation or busi-

by the citizens of Watertown that
they should, Watertown will in only
a short time be the foremost city in
The state of South Dakota. No city
has greater natural resources for the
upbuilding Of great metropolis than

to dc his or her part towards its up
building and development ii is very

Number Of Autos

3" . & L. Hr q.
Florence has more automobiles tnan
any other town of equal size in South

There are over twenty cars in town
today, while year or two ago, there
was but four or five, andgif the pace
that has been set this spring contin.
ues it will have doubled the present
number by fall. Aside from the large
number of machines in town there
are many owned by farmers living in
this vicinity. The combined value OF
these cars would cause one to wonder

have been coined.

classic countenance that he had his
goat. this time. They took a little
spin around the town and finally the
mayor was induced to take hold of
the steering wheel and see how easily
the car was managed. The second
he took hold of that wheel the auto
bug stung him and inside of fifteen
minutes Isidor had the mayors scalp
dangling at his belt and his name on
the dotted line.
Mayor Wagner invited the editor of
the Saturday News to take a little
ride with him the other day in his
new car. The editor rolled into the
back seat and the mayor pushed but
ton on the dash and the way we went
up hill and down hill--.we were headed
for the north side base ball park and
the editor thought by the way the
mayor was driving that he was going
to run right through the big board
fence, but with simple twist of the
wrist the car was turned and went
down the road purring like pet kit
ten.
There We're several other gentlemen
in the car besides the Saturday News
man. There was John Nevenheim,
who weighs a little less than three
hundred pounds in the shade. Chas.
Patrick Gormley, another heavyweight
and Nick Marx, who is no feather
weight and the acknowledged expert
on pretzels. Last but not least there
was Bobby silverstein, the man who
put the health in Wes nory, Bobby
is not very large in stature but he is
one of those big little men.
Taken all in all the mayor had a
pretty good load-of avsrdupois.
When the car was finally stopped it
was found that the newspaper man
had actually fell asleep ON one OF
those "Rip Van Winkle. cushions in
the back seat.
Without any joshing the mayor has
a fine car and we hope that he will
enjoy the same to the fullest extent.

Lakota, N. D., Aug. l3-There has

among the sportsnen A special dis

ritory because the local spOrtsmen
knew the man for this district. He
caught DR.. Lahrbauer and Herbert
Fishel, a professional dog trainer, in
the fields. Fishel wanted to plead
guilty but the doctor advised him to
demand a jury trial. The jury made
a lot of fun out of the case and ac-
quilted both men on the ground that
no damage had been done. Chief
Game Warden McCutcheon of Minot
then appeared on the scene, secured
q lot Of affidavits and threatened
charges against local officials. He
planned the arrest of Fishel under
another provision of the game laws
and the latter hurried to a justice and
pleaded guilty. The prosecutions
aroused a lot of sentiment here
against Sooner shooting and dog
training and the sportsmen interested
in the protection of game are pleased
WITH the results. Some of them are
