BOT IN DES MONIES

MIR. and Mrs. Gilbert Nelson of
meas this.ci have purchased resi-
dence property in Des Moines and
expects to move there.
Mr.. Nelson is one of our most
progressive Danish farmer, always
being ready to do his share to build
up our county without a kick or a
grumble. These good people have
raised a large family and being Of
easy proximity to our school, the
older ones have received a good ed
ucation and we suppose this move
contemplates a good education for
the younger ones. The family are
all industrious and being guided by
MIR. Nelson's fertile brain, have
grown rich on an Audubon County
farm

BURIAL OF N. MARDESEN APPOINT NEW MARSHAL

An important change took place
in the Mayors office Tuesday when
Marshal Claude Bills handed IN the
Star" to Mayor j. B. j. Lohner,
and with it his resignation to take
effect Immediately. We had not
heard of any adverse criticism of
Marshal Bills as Commissioner Of
highways, or of preserving order
and believe him to be clear for pro-
motion. Mayor Lohner lost no
time in securing the services of Roy
McClain, who served the city faith
fully and well as Marshal prior to
the advent Of Marshal Bills.

ORIENTAL DANCING
GOOD ATTRACTION

Through an oversight we omitted
the following from these columns,
last week:
One Of the very best attractions
on July 4th was the Oriental Dane
ing Girl, who was no other than
one of our popular young men, Mr..
Fred Arnold, in perfect imitation of
one of those eastern beauties. The
dancing could not have been ex-
celled by very many and the cos
tune and manner of action as car
ried out by Fred were in strict ac-
cord with our Interpretation Of
what constitutes an Oriental Dan
Ger.
A large amount Of credit is due
to one who can furnish such a good
exhibition and it was the opinion of
many that Fred furnished the best
attraction of the day. The Home
Talent attractions we're far better
than the high priced outsiders and
our city can congratulate itself for
having it over other towns in this
line.
Mrs. Ed Dryden and Miss Lima
Phelps leave next Monday for Ster-
ling, Colorado, where the former
will remain several months for her
health. Miss Lima has been here
for sometime and will remain with
her parents, who reside in Colorado
We hope that the change of climate
will benefit Mrs. Dryden's health
and she will return much better.

Croker Brought Into
Court Again by Foy
Discharged superintendent Ac-
cuses Former. Employer
Of Assault

PORT CHESTER, N. Y, July 3d.
Richard Croker. jr, will appear in
police court before Judge Towers to-
morrow to answer a charge of third
degree assault made against him by
Patrick Roy, former superintendent Of
the Croker estate. Foy says Croker
struck him without provocation while
they were arguing about sled he had
left on the Croker property.
Moses Miller, attorney for Croker
says Croker struck Foy because he
thought he was about to be hit with
whip. The argument took place last
night in shed where Foy keeps his
horse. There were no witnesses.
The argument arose after hearing
before Judge Merritt, on Crokers suit
against Foy for $50 which he said Foy
owed him for produce obtained from
the Croker estate while he was en-
pioyed there. Decision was reserved
and the two men met at the horse shed
afterward.
This was the second law suit between
Foy and Croker. Early in June, after
Foy had been discharged, he sued for
$l57 wages. Croker put in a counter
clam that time for the $50 which fig
ured IN last nights suit.
