Chas. Howard, transient, had a
hearing before Judge Sponholz this
morning, charged with holding up
Julius Kerstein Tuesday night and
relieving him of his watch. The
hold-up occurred a short distance
west of the depot. Howard estab-
lished the fact to the satisfaction OF
the court that he was present at a
| beer party near the chautauqua road
east of the creamery, that a quarrel
arose among the guests and he left
the party to come to the city and up
on reaching the creamery bridge he
| crawled under the bridge and made
his bed for the night. Howard an.
swers the description of the bare
headed man who hailed several au
tomobiles returning from the lake

morning bareheaded and was giveT
a cap by the ~barkeeper. The case
against Howard was dismissed.

THE ASSEMBLY
IN ADDITION TO CHAUTAUOUA
ROUTINE, CHINESE aero
BATS ENTERTAIN.

Yesterday at the lake was a profit
able day for the assembly. Much in
terest was taken in the chautauqua
routine during the day by those who
are located at the lake to take in the
full course. The evening was de-
lightful from a weather standpoint
and a large number of people went
to the lake by automobile and train
to witness the evening entertain
ment. The Royal Pekinese acrobats
gave an exhibition at the auditorium
lasting an hour, and it was fine. This
was followed by a lecture by s. L.
Krebs, subject, Psychology of Sales
manship. The acrObats are superior
to professionals in their line and ac-
complished feats that were e~xtraor-

this afternoon and will close their
engagement with a performance at
S:15 this evening.

a candidate for alderman against

the place, but it is regarded a heroic
undertaking for Miss Drake to enter
the most infamous ward of the city
and become a candidate against a
man who has long occupied the posi-
tion of alderman by the votes of the
lowest element of his ward. Miss
Drake will speak at the auditorium

Early Day History of Banking In
South Dakota.

Aberdeen, June 26.-One of the
interesting features of the state
bankers association meeting here
was the report of Secretary j. f..
Platt of Clark. The report showed
that when he was first elected secre-
tary Of the association there was a
total of eight-two banks in South
Dakota. At the date of his latest
compilation on June /, there were
go tanks in the state, of which ass
are state banks, 102 national banks.
IA private banks, nine trust COM
panies and 10 banking corporations.
The bankers who died during the
year were +. G. Stearns of Warner,
Charles l.. Johnson of Agar, George
r. Freeman of Elk Point, II. j. Men
del of Beresford, L. r.. Kenefick of
Dell Rapids, A. X. Wood of Wood,
Robert r. Roberts of Langford, M.
p. Beebe of Ipswich and Ebert w.
! Morse of Faulkton.
Secretary Platt has discovered
that the Dakota Bankers association
held a convention in Aberdeen in
| June. 1885. The journal of that
| meeting was preserved by the late
NJ. p. Beebe, and seems to establish
| that the two Dakotas have the honor,
Jointly, of organizing the first state
bankers association in the United
States. The third annual convention
| was held at WATERFOWL in 1887, and
| from the journal of this convention
| II is learned that the first person to
omen a bank in the Dakotas was
Mark III. Palmer, % years of age,
who opened a bank on Second street
in Yankton in 1869, with a capital
of $1,000. The second bank was or
gained by G. E. Prentice on Septem-
| her 81. 1871, at Vermilion, and the
| third bank was started at Elk Point
in the spring of 1872 by W. Hoff-
man. In the fall of that year p. j.
Wintermute started a bank at Yank-
ton. Wintermute afterward killed
| Gen. Edwin McCook, then secretary
Of the territory, at a meeting al
Yankton to consider the proposition
to encourage the coming of the Da.
kota Southern railway. Wintermute
was tried, convicted and sentenced to
ten years in prison, but later got q
new trial and was acquitted.

UNDER AMUSEMENT
JUDGE JONES HEARS THE WENT
WORTH LIQUOR LICENSE
CASE.

Hans Urdahl returned from Sioux
Falls, where he appeared as attorney
for the applicants in the Wentworth
saloon license case.
This is a case where the drys at
tack the suffciency of the petition on
which the election which carried for
license was voted. There were TWEEN
~ty-seven names to the petition, when
the law calls for but twenty-five.
Prior to the spring election the drys
attacked the sufficieney of the petit
ton and set up that there were more
than enough illegal names on the pc
tition to bring it below the required
twenty-five. Judge Jones would not
grant the injunction asked to pre-
vent a vote on the license question
and stated that by doing so he would
not deprive the drys of any of their
rights as they could renew their at
tack after election and prevent the
granting of licenses if the petition
was found defective. On the other
hand if he held with the drys and
prevented an election and after
wards it was found that the petition
was legal the wrong could not be
remedied.
The citizens of Wentworth voted In
| favor of license, and now the ques-
ton reverts to the sufficiency of the
petition on which the election was
| based and the taking of testimony on
this point was heard by the court
yesterday.
After the conclusion of taking tes-
timony, Judge Jones took the case
| under adYiSement.

ERATTONS DESPITE COLD
WEATHER.

Construction wGrN upon the clty's
new 100000 gallon w~aterworks re-

at a special meeting of the city cou1i-

arising from concrete building were

mann. of Mason City, Ia, head
chemist for the Northwestern State

vised the council that cold weather
would not injura the cement If
proper precautions we're ta.en-
1t was decided to Immediately
rush the construction OF the wooden
forms for the roof and the remand
or of the walls. which would enclose
all construction operations. Stoves
or ''salamanders" would be used to
keep the interior of the reservoir
warm and allow the concrete work
to properly dry. For the past week,
all water and materials have been
heated to insure proper mixture and
setting.
The floor to the reservoir was
completed last week and the first
| section of the side walls has been
| poured this week. The floor is 10
inches through. consisting of a base
9 IA inches thick. reinforced with
half-inch round bars. II inches On
center. The floor is finished with q
top GOA of cement threa-fourths Of
an inch thick. Tbs bases for the
cross-shaped columns supporting tho
roof were built with tle floor.
The concrete fer the floor was
poured from a spout leading from
a tower. On the walls however. the
contractors wheel the concrete in
carts and deuosit it III layers. This
precaution is necessary to prevent
the forming of seams and "a co1,se-
uuent weakness of the walls. Each
layer IS completed around the entire
wall before the next is poured. The
layers are roughered to insure q
bond with the next and cleaned with
wire brushes each time to make the
union perfect.
