DICKINSON SENT LARGE DELE
CATIONS TO 4th OF JULY
CELEBRATIONS AT KILL
DEER AND DUNN
CENTER.

Parades, Addresses, Indian Pow-wows,
Ball Games, Wild West and
Dances Make Up Programs.
The Fourth of July is supposed to
bring ice cream and lemonade wealth
er but all signs fail this year and
those who celebrated Saturday had
far more need of winter coats and
furs.
Dickinson, in view of the Elks car
nival this week, had no celebration
on but the people of the city attend
ed the doings in nearby towns in
large numbers.
Saturday morning, in spite of low
ering clouds and biting breezes,
about thirty cars went north to Kill
deer while others turned south to New
England and some joined in the Wild
West celebration at Miles City.
Killdeer was certainly unfortunate
in the weather handed out. Rain, be-
ginning at four o'clock, fell at very
frequent intervals during the entire
day and made many Of the events
planned entirely out of the question.
The Indians were there in full force,
their camp south of the railroad be-
ing very interesting to visitors. The
superintendent of Ft. Berthold al
lowed the Indians to leave the reser-
walton from July to July 6, Messrs.
Robert Wilcox, Ed. Partridge, Wills
Norred and A. B. Curry being person
ally responsible for their conduct and
that no liquor should be obtainable
by them. Between showers there was
a parade and some. good riding and
late in the afternoon the Dickinson
ball players. won a game to 3-on
. .a~slippery field. In spite of the in
clement weather fully 1900 people
spent Saturday in the terminal City
