MUNICIPAL TREE
HELD LAST NIGHT
ANNUAL ALL-NMTCHEiL CELE-
BRATION PROVES SUCCESS
Full; "rREE OF LIGHT
Is BEAUTIFUL.

Christmas was officially recognize
ed in Mitchell last night when the
municipal Christmas tree celebra-
ton was held. The weather moder-
ated during the evening and Mitchell
siown-ups and Riddles. in solid
mass of goodwill and Yule-tide spir-
it, tlocked in hundreds around the
y-decorated pine set up at the
corner of Fourth Avenue and Main
street.
The tree itself looming some 80
feet above the snow-covered pave
ment, glistened in an electric glory
of red, white and green. However,
its scores of lights and brilliant star
at its tip not at all outshone the
faces of the eXpectant youngsters.
AS a preliminary to the main at
traction OF the evening the school
children led by the Municipal Con
cert band turned their joyousness in
TO song. asd gave several Christmas
carols, closing with the national an
them.
After u Christmas selection BIZ the
Elks double quartet, Hon. II. C. Pres
ton. mounted the platform at the
base of the brilliant evergreen and
addressed the crowd which thronged
the street from curb to curb. He
spoke Interestingly for a few my.
utes in reminiscent way OF Nit
ehell holiday seasons of the SOS and
congratulated the city on having
such a bright and energetic host of
youngsters upon which to impose the
future welfare oil the community.
Another song by the double quar-
tet and it was announced that Santa
Claus '-had just approached the city
limits and would soon appear" 1t
was further announced that the
Fourth South Dakota regiment on
the border had sent basket of hol-
ly to the people OF Mitchell and
that it was ready to be distributed
as souvenirs.
Disproving the prevailing belief
of modern lads and lasses that there
is no Santa Claus, a large sleigh be-
decl1ed with holly and evergreens jim
gled up the street and through the
crowd. 1t was driven, not by a
single st. Nicholas, but squad OF
six merry kriss Kringles who shout
ed and scattered fat bags of candy in
discriminatory upon the swarmine
sea OF stocking caps and waving NIT
tens.
After disposing of their sweets
the six "Santas" drove triumphant
ly down Main street with a. Chamber
ing horde of youngsters, bright-eyed
and happy, following them down the
street
The second of Mitchell's trees was
as truly community project as the
first had been. Practically every
merchant has had some share in the
work. and the committee appoint
ments were so distributed that near.
ly everyone had some special re.
|sponsiblity. The result has been
another huge success.
The tree will be left standing and
illuminated until after New Years
Iday. 1t will then be taken down and
the electric wiring. which was pur.
|chased by the merchants, stored away
until next year.

UNKNOWN WOMAN
WALKING TRACKS,
KILLED BY TRAIN

Stamford. Jan. 21.7-A woman whose
age was probably 80, was killed by an
express train from Danbury this morn
ing. When the woman was picked up
there were signs of life but death
came while the train was coming into
Stamford. The woman was on the
tt acks between South NorwaIk and
NoroIon.
Some /of the trainmen thought that
she jumped in front of the engine hur
she may have, become bewildered and
stepped over to the west-bound track
by mistake. The woman was evident
" of foreign birth, five feet in height
and wore a wedding ring which, how
ever, gave no clue ito her identity.
