Dell Rapids Tribune: We have
watched in vain for the return of the
white robin. Many robins and other
beautiful birds frequent our trees,
but the bird we have looked for re-
turns not to its last summer haunts.
Don't forget the last high school
play, Friday evening, May 20, at the
opera house. More scenery is being
painted for this play. General ad-
mission, 35 cents; reserved seats, so
cents. Don't fail to see the play.
Sioux City Journal: A catfish that
lacked two inches of being five feet
long was struck and stunned by the
propeller of e. T.. Paddock's launch
five miles north of the Yacht club in
the Big Sioux river. The head of the
fish was almost severed from the
body by the propeller. The fish wa
dragged into the launch, and later it
was cut up and PORTIONS of it were
distributed by Mr.. Paddock among
his friends.
City Engineer Trimmer today
measured the lines of the site to be
occupied by the new Ruby Theatre.
The dimensions of the site will be
sent to the architect for his guild
ance. The plans are being prepared
by Architect Miller of Chicago, who
recently visited Madison and who is
also preparing plans for the new
high school building annex. The new
Ruby Theatre will be so by 10 feet,
two stories high, planned and finish
ed on the most modern plan for the
purposes it is intended. Mr.. Leen
expects to begin work on the struc-
ture within thirty days.
Remarkable and extremely sad are
incidents in the families of Messrs.
A. l.. and Jacob Hegdahl of this
county. Three weeks ago today the
Messrs. Hegdahl and their wives, de-
parted from Madison on a visit to
their former home in Norway. Since
that time a death has occurred in the
family of each. A week ago yester-
day Elf Hide, son of Mrs. A. l.. Heg-
dahl, was drowned in Lake Madison,
and Sunday Mrs. John Aldern,
daughter of MI. and Mrs. Jacob Heg-
dahl, died following the birth of a
child. 1t is a season of enjoyment
marred by sorrow, and it will be a
sad Homecoming for the bereaved
parents.
