Demise of Elton Jennings
His Earthly Career Comes to Close
the Evening July 4

To all the older residents Of
Milbank the death of William
Elton Jennings last Sunday
came with peculiar sadness, as
his youth and early manhood
were all spent in this local
lty, and the kind remembrance
OF associations with him during
those years were again brought
wildly to mind. His taking
on In the prime of life, is but
another reminder of the uncer-
talnty Of human life under any
circumstances.
The deceased man was born in
Troy, Mimi March 26, 1875,
and with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. William Jennings, when
five years of age came to Grant

ed to Milton, N. D., and while

constituents with honor and dis.
tinctiOn. For a number of years
past he has been in the employ
of the International Harvester
company at Aberdeen, and later
as blockman at Fergus Falls,
Mimi, where he was living at
the time his fatal malady devel-
oped in the form of an incurable
stomach trouble, few months
ago. He was taken to the Mayo
hospital at Rochester, where no
hope waslgiven of his recovery.
His last days were spent in his
fathers home, where he receiv-
ed the loving ministry of rela-
tives and friends. The deceased
was a man Of fine principles and
exemplary habits and atall times
maintained the confidence and
and esteem of those with whom

He leaves wife and five children

The Glorious Fourth

A Big Crowd Celebrates Indendence
Day, and A General Good Time is
Enjoyed
The fourth Of July celebration
last Monday brought to the city
probably by far the largest
crowd Of pleasure seekers that
Milbank has ever entertained at
any celebration. They came by
railroad trains from the west
and north and by autos from all
directions, and long distances,
in fact it is asserted by one who
essayed count Of the automo-
biles, that there were between
600 and 700 of machines on the
street. The drawing feature
undoubtedly was the aeroplane
flighs, and the crowds we're
deeply interested in this exhibi-
tion.
The ball games between the
OrtOnvllle and Sisseton mines al
SO aroused great interest among
the base ball fans, and the game
Monday was pa lticularly inter-
esting, the score being a tie Of
8 at the close Of the ninth inning,
the Sisseton club winning one
score and the game in the tenth
inning. On the following day
the game was again of an inter
esting character, though not SO
close on the score, which was al
SO in favor Of Sisseton 6 to 2.
On Wednesday the Montevideo
team came up and turned the
tables on Sisseton by beating
them with score of two to five.
The acceptance flights, which
occurred both morning and after
noon of each day, were of a most
satisfactory character, the aer.
onaut circling around the city
several times in his different
flights.
The main street was we'll sup
piled with refreshment stands
and booths, and a merry go
round helped to give the smaller
boys and girls a good time on
this national holiday, and the
two moving picture shows were
at all times entertaining large
crowds.
The only accident of the day
occurred near the merry 60
around when the little eleven
year old son Of Chas Stevens 5
who lives over near the state
line stepped in front Of an auto
driven by VIM. Raebel, was drlv-
ing the machine very slowly
and was able to stop it as it
struck the boy, who did Mt notice
the auto until he stepped in
front Of it. DR.. Ferguson set
the arm, which was broken be.
tween the elbow and the shoul-
der. The lad was not otherwise
injured.
The three day celebration was
remarkable for the entire alb
sence of drunkenness and rowdy
ism SO often mar the pleasure of
a celebration of this kind where
number of saloons are engaged
in dealing out booze without let
or hindrance. Everybody ap-
peared to be having a good time
and enjoying the pleasures and
excitement of the day, and so
apparent was this fact that no
one witnessing it can hereafter
claim that the free flow of
liquors is necessary for holiday
enjoyment, or that farmers and
others will not go to a dry town
for business or pleasure. That
chestnut ought to be forever set
at rest and that with the large
crowds present there was only
one minor accident is due largely
to the fact that the streets were
not crowded with drunken and
half drunken men. The cele-
bratiOn was a very successful
affair in everv Wav.
