EARLY DAKOTA TIMES
Ancient South Dakota History
Recently Come to Light.

Pierre, Feb. 6.-Some very important
and interesting ancient South Dakota
history has recently come to light in
the discovery of the personal journal of
Jean Baptiste Trudeau. who built the
first historic building in South Dakota,
"The Pawnee House." of Lewis and
Clark, located near the present site of
Greenwood, Charles Mix county, and
built in the autumn of 1895. 1t has
been presumed that this house was
built by the employees of Zenon Tru-
deau. governor of Saint Louis, but
this journal destroys that assumption.
j. B. Trudeau was a schoolmaster
in st. Louis. but finding few pupils
and fewer fees took to Indian trad
ing, first visiting the Ysnktcrs upon
the upper Des Moines near the Iowa
Minnesota line. In 1894 he was com
missioned by "The Commercial COM
pany for the discovery of the nations
of the upper Missouri" to go for
trade with the Arickara, at Grand
River, South Dakota.
He presents evidence that the French
had been trading among the Dakota
Sioux and Arickara for several years
prior to this date. Trudeau was very
poorly equipped by temperament for a
trader, lacking courage, tact and in
itiative, and the Indians simply ran
over him. confiscsting his wares and
doing about as they pleased. He
seems to have spent the winters of 1894
and 1895 with the Rees at Grand river,
and then dropped down 10 Handy's
point where he built the "Pawnee
House. in the autumn of 1896.
The next year he went back to the
KEGS and in the Mandans and re-
turned to st. Louis in 1898. His
journal contains much of interest to
South Dakotans. Even prior to his
coming most points of natural inter

IS GARBAGE DUMP
 A GARDEN SPOT? West End Man Adds Com mentS to Discussion of
 Nuisance There
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 Having observed with interest letters regarding the city's latest garden spot. formerly known as the West End dump ing ground. I must state that l. am great ly surprised that the officers. espe- cially Dr. R. NJ. Cunningham, should have placed their seal of approval upon this pest hole, and l feel, though it may have no effect toward obtaining relief. duty bound to commend the stand taken by Mrs. Kiernan, on behalf of the peo- pie of West End, and more especially those living in the immediate neighbor- hood of this cozy corner of our city beau tiful.
 What Mrs. Kiernan stated regarding the situation has been expressed mildly. This place is not only one of the vilest spots in Birmingham, but the stagnant water around this place, with it's foul odors and swarms of mosquitoes. together with the decaying garbage with it's mill lions of flies certainly looks like a menace to the health of our people from the viewpoint of layman, statements to the contrary by the officers notwithstanding.
 We do not inspect this place in passing in an auto, but we inspect every minute in the day. S65 days in the year, and what what we are kicking about especially is the night inspection. How would the "of- fcers" like to spend few nights at this latest health resort that we have in our front yards? Respectfully.

CELEBRATE TODAY
 AT FAIRGROUNDS Elaborate Programmes Pre- pared-Speeches, Barbe-
 cue and Athletics

At l2 o'clock today the bells of Bir- mingham will ring.
 At 12 o'clock 13S years ago today A great bell pealed forth tones heard around the world. The Liberty Bell'' of 1776 an- nounced the declaration of independence of the United States of America and the bells of Birmingham today will com- memorate their illustrious ancestor
 The Fourth will be celebrated in Br- mingham today at IA different play grounds. There will be little if any fire works. The city commissioners have is- sued orders that the law against fire works must be enforced to the letter. Every motorcycle policeman in the city will be kept at police headquarters all day to answer calls from any part of the city and arrest any person who attempts to violate this law.
 An elaborate programme of athletic events and dances and games has been prepared for each of the IA playgrounds and parks in all parts of the city. Thou sands of people are expected to attend these and probably 1000 or more children will take part. Fourth of July speeches will be made at some places. others will have 8 barecue. and many other features and variations will be made to the pro- kTd1nIlt Ut lIulNldudi AL DcHTtn s Park James Gillespie will deliver an ad- dress on Liberty Bell' at o'clock in the afternoon.
 It was the Behrens Park Playground association, under Miss Corinne Chisholm, supervisor which initiated the bell ring ing movement. It seems that no Fourth was complete without noise. The fire- crackers have been barred as dangerous end barbaric. Therefore the idea of the bells originated and dozens of them will ring for five minutes today at noon.
 Being a legal holiday, many of the stores will close all day and practically all of them will close after a few hours business this morning. The banks will be closed all day. At the postoffice, the win dows will be closed from 10 o'clock a. m to o'clock D. m. The general delivery window will be open from 6:30 to 10 o'clock a. m.

BROOK|NS INQUEST
 ID RESUME JULY IA
Coroner Says He Expects to Find Important Witnesses
 in the Meantime

The coroners investigation Into the death of Joseph w. Brookins, a young street car motorman, who was lured away from his home in East Birmingham the night of June 15 and killed was yester- day continued until July IA. Coroner Spain said his reason for continuing the hear ing was that the testimony of yesterday morning had brought out the fact that there are other and more important wit nesses and that he desires to secure these.
 The coroner said last night that he did not like the idea of keeping Thomas Webb, who Is held in connection with the but that he felt it his duty to do all he could to apprehend the murderer of Brookins and thought 1t necessary to con- tinue the case.
 sOf course. it is hard on Webb to be kept In jail while we investigate this case said Coroner Spain last night, "but will not leave stone unturned that promises to give additional light on the case. Many points were brought out in the testimony today which will lead me to other witnesses. and with detectives and
 hyso WoThlus on the matter, II SnOulu not be long until new evidence Is located. When we resume the hearing on the 14th hope to have several new and important witnesses on the stand"
 The testimony yesterday was purely of circumstantial nature. About 20 wit nesses were examined among them being c. T. Brookins, father of the dead man. He testified that Mrs. Webb, the. prisoner's s wife, had been residing with his family, and that he had requested Webb not to visit there. Webb did visit the house one day according to his testimony, and threatened the life of Mrs. Webb. The elder Brookins testified that his son had escorted Mrs. Webb from Pratt City to his home on Friday night previous to his death.
 Officer T. R. Williams testified that he had been called to the Broolxins home to arrest Webb, who, 1t was stated had created disturbance.
 The Jury on the case is composed of Fe- lix l. Tarrant. J. R. Hornady, w. II. Parker. Henry L. Jenkins Jacob Burger and w. H. Hackney.
 For the defense of Webb Attorney Charles Comstock was in the corridors of the courthouse during the hearing, and 1t was stated that he had several affidavits tending to prove an alibi for Webb. He did not present them at the hearing and the prisoner did not appear
