Mimi, Wednesday,, where he
went about a week ago. While
there he purchased a fine resi-
dence property and expects to
move there the coming October
with his wife and young son, the
older boys staying on the farm
here. Mr.. Sando is one of the
pioneers in this section, settling
on the line near Victor township
two years before the reservation
was open for settlement. He
probably carries the distinction
of digging the first we'll in this
township as his house was on
one side of the line and his we'll
was on the reservation. When he
leaves next October for his new
home, one of the old land marks
will be removed. His failing
health requires his retirement
from active farm duty, and he
picked out a place where fishing
is good and has a modern resi-
dence and conveniences. The
many friends of the gentleman
and family will wish him luck and
contentment in his new home.-

Royal johnson Decorated

Washington, d. C.-Acting for
Marshal Petain of the French
army, Major General Joseph
Kuhn, commander of the 10Th
division, yesterday presented the
Croix de Guerre to Representa-
tive Royal Johnson of South Da-
kota, who served as a lieutenant
with the 313th infantry regi-
ment abroad. This citation, from
the French officer, also was pre-
sented to the congressman:
"A very courageous officer,
who exposed himself to enemy
fire in the attack on Montfaucon
and was an example of courage
to his men. Although wounded by
a high explosive, he carried aid to
two wounded soldiers of his COM
pany and refused to take place
in the ambulance until they were
cared for"

the race after going the first one

speed of 80 miles per hour, as a
result of a broken oil pipe.
However the Journal consid-

when one considers that this car
was designed and built here dur

and was not completed until the
fore part of May. 1t was ship

Koepke-Aldrich

The marriage of Miss Clara
Koepke, daughter of VIM. Keep
Ike to George Aldrich was solem-
nized Tuesday afternoon at the
Methodist parsonage. The Rev.
Hess read the VOW.
Miss Koepke wore a travelling
suit of dark blue serge and hat
to match and was attended by
Miss Mae Grover. The groom
was attended by Ole Brantscg.
This union brings together two
of Sisseton's most popular young
people. The bride is the eldest
daughter of VIM. Keopke. She
was born and grew to woman
hood in our midst and is a young
lady of more than ordinary
ability and culture. Her charm
ing manner and amiable DISPOSE
ton have won her many true
friends.
The groom has resided in Sis
seton for a number of years and
is well known and liked by Sis
seton people. He is ambitious
and sure to make good. Prior to
entering the army he was en-
ployed as livery man here and
since his discharge has been EN-
ployed at the Irwin Hanson farm.
The young couple departed for
Veblen Immediately after the
ceremony, for a visit with the
groom's sister, following which
they will take a trip to Iowa
where they expect to make their
home.
Their many friends join in
congratulations and best wishes
for a most happy and prosperous
life.

Thursday was to eliminate the

curing thirty-first place among
the cars to start by making the
two and a half-mile tap at a
speed of 88 ITO miles per hour.
In the making of this test
some slight defects were discov-
cred but it was impossible to
remedy them before the time set
for the race. The Mccoy Special
entered the race with Mccoy as
driver and Halls as mechanic.
and went the first 100 miles at an
average speed of 80 miles per

morning and Mr.. Mccoy will

Special for Chautaueua
Mr.. E. C. Gamm,
Secretary Chautauqua,
SiSSetOn. South Dakota

&SAAs LIE VI 0CSllkkll,
Secretary Chautauqua,
Sisseton, South Dakota.
Dear Mr.. Gamm:
We take great pleasure in an
nouncing splndid new attrac-
ton for the last day. of your
Chautauqua.
We have secured the noted
White Hussars Singing Band
composed of nine young men
who have made great reputa-
ton as entertainers all over
America. We just learned the
othr day that this noted organi-
cation would be available for
summer work, consequently we
made arrangements to send them
to you instead of the MI
Merimakers, the girls sextette,
and the entertainers who were to
accompany them.
The White Hussars are a COM
pany who have worked together
for years. Although this COM
pany of nine men is much more
expensive than the Musical MGR
makers we feel that we were
fortunate indeed to get them for
your program since they will add
greatly to the enjoyment of the
Chautauqua.
We want to impress that this
is not only a band but a singing
organization and stunt club that
has for years been the best in
the country. It is the most talked
of musical organization before
the public and there is hardly a
big city in America from New
York down that has not heard
them with great delight. You
will find the White Hussars to be
an ideal closing day entertain
ment..
Sincerely yours,
White and Myers.

sisseton Comes in Second Best

The Sisseton Baseball Club
loaded themselves into Ben Eek S
truck Sunday morning and trav-
eled to that town of Clinton over
in Minnesota. 1t was hard rough
ride and when they arrived, were
sure a stiff bunch. However they
were all on deck when the game
was called at three O'Clock and
when the team was sorted out
found Campbell missing. This
necessitated changing the play
ers about-consequcntly our
team was not as strong as usual.
In the first inning Sisseton
made two scores and we thought
we "had 'em on the hip" From
the first inning it was a pitchers
battle and one of the best ever
staged in this section. However
through an error Clinton won 2
to 4.
Sisseton has a new second base
man-Arthur Lane. He made
a good showing Sunday and
local fans are confident they are
now solid at that portion of the
diamond.
Clinton is to play a return
game here-if it ever quits rain
ing. They are scheduled for a
game here this afternoon.
Sisseton will play at Boards
ley Sunday and they will play a
return game here some time
during Chautauqua week.
