A COLORED COUPLE
MIX THEIR SHOTS
No Damage to Their Com
pIexiOn; Let Go.
Especial Correspondence
Holbrook, July 18.

HoibroOk, July 18.
A shooting affray occurred a
few evenings ago in which a
colored couple, male and female,
were the principal participants.
These folks drifted into town
some weeks since and lived
peacefully together until this
trouble. The colored gentleman
becoming acquainted over town
strolled one evening down in the
district where the section hands
are domiciled.. Here his spouse
located him making ardent love
to a Mexican senorita. Think
ing the case one requiring sum
mary correction, the colored lady
opened fire on her husband with
an ugly looking pistol slightly
marring his dnsky skin. AvoW-
ing that his chastisement was
complete and protesting against
a further bombardment in his
direction the gun was turned on
the senorita with a similar result
The trio was hailed before the
police court and carefully scru-
tented by the judge. He OBJ
served that nobody's complexion
had been badly damaged and
dismissed the case after admon-
ishing the trio that such conduct
would not be tolerated again 50

ATTENTION., SENIORS!

High school seniors who have left
school work before graduation for wal
emergency service on farms or else.
where will be accepted as freshmen
students at State College next fall, &C,
cording to DR.. G. L. Brown, dean of the
college. 1t will be necessary, of course,
that such students present certificates
from school authorities that they left
school for service and that their school
work was of passing grade at the time.
"This is the only fair way to handle
the emergency of the present" says
DR.. Brown, because no one should
be ~penalized for performing his duty
Food production and military service
are two important methods of serving
the country, and every encouragement
should be advanced to worthy young
men for both. State College aims to
treat high school seniors as fairly as
her own students"

HI LIBERTY LOAN

The states in the ninth federal re-
serve bank district are assigned $685.
500, 100000 of this loan to be disposed
of in their territory, and of that amount
it is expected that South Dakota will
subscribe for $11, CSC, 900. 90. Figuring
this out on the population of Brook
ings it would mean that the bonds sold
here should total SIT, 900 90. or the sun
of $1,000 for each person. These bonds
will be dated July LIST, 1917 and bear in
terest at $40, payable semi-annually.
Bonds are payable in fifteen years at
the option of the government and are
to mature in thirty years, and are free
from all state and federal taxation.
Geo. w. Cobel. cashier Of the First
National Bank, has been appointed a
member Of the committee to assist in
selling these bonds, along with John
c.. Bassett, Of Aberdeen. the South
Dakota member of the federal board
for this district. Blanks will soon be
available at the First National Bank
for parties wishing to subscribe to the
loan in amounts Of $4,000 up. 1t is the
duty of every citizen, who can, to sup
port this great loan and as loyal citi-
zens help in this war to finance the
war for humanity.
The local papers will from time to
time give publication Of matter as to
the loan, at the request of MI. Cobel
and the federal board.

the use of phones. That this raise
affects other than the local community
is evidenced by the decision Of the s
D.. Railway Commission on the applica
ton OF the Estelline rural telephone
company, which decision was made
April 23rd and is as follows:
The commission authorized the
Estelline Telephone & Electric Co. to
increase it's rural rates to $3.50 a
month, payable quarterly in advance.
with a discount of 25 cents a month,
if paid or or before the 18th of the
first month of the quarter.
1t is evident that our people are not
the only One affected and the action
of the local company is being followed
by other companies throughout the
state. We are all feeling the advance
IN costs of labor and material and there
does not seem to be much chance Of
getting away from it.
