One of the largest crowds that Phas ever assembled' in the Kato- ditky Sokol hall was present Sat urday evening" on the occasion of :the third annual masquerade of .that society, and the hall was flll ed to its utmost capacity by the Inerrymakers and the array of costumes was bewildering and 'jlazzling to the eyes. Some very "elaborate costumes, as -well as. a great, many -of the comics, were shown on the floor and the mat ter of. picking- out the prize win ners was a.diflicult job, as there were so many that really were deserving -of prizes. The first gent's prize was given to Joseph Scoda, who was garbed as an In dian of terrifying appearance, while Anton II. Koubek of Oma ha, as a comical Dutchman, car ried off the : second prize.

FELLOWS IS NOW A GRANDFATHER TO A BRIGHT LITTLE ROY The friends of the fmily of Rush O. Fellows, formerly of this city, but now of Belle Fourche, S. D will be delighted to learn that Mr. and Mrs. Fellows are now rejoicing in tne title or grandpa and grandma, as a fine new son was born to their daugh ter, Mrs. Will G. Chase, former ly Miss Laura De Fellows, on January 20, and the ' following from the Northwest Post of Belle Fourche gives a faint idea of the joy of the proud grandfather: There was born to Mr. and Mrs. Will .O. Chase, at the Sisters' hospital at Hot Springs, S. D., on Tuesday morning, January 20, 1914, an eight-pound boy. The two darlings, the little mother and her bonny little son are doing nicely. "Foxy" Orandpa don't know as yet what his name is to be, nor does he care in particular, so long as the young man may live and grow up to be an honor to his parents and to his four grandparents. As this is the first grrandchild for either family. there is naturally much rejoicing with both of them. P. S. A later telegram mes sage announces tne name of tne ittle newcomer as Rush Fellows Chase. LOST TEAM IS FOUND NEAR Gin Team Belonging to Fred Camp bell Found at the Goos Farm, South of This City.

For sale by all druggists. H. E. Becker was attending to the week-end shopping in this city Saturday and was a pleasant caller at this office. Last evening Fred Campbell, a young man residing in the vicin ity of Rock Bluffs, came; to this city about 6 o'clock and left his team and top buggy hitched to the hitch rack on South Fifth street, and when he returned at about 10 o'clock to start home he found there was no sign of either the team or buggy. He at once notified the sheriff's office and a search was made throughout the surrounding :country in an effort to locate the team, but without success, and it was thoiight cer tain that the team had been stolen, and the sheriff was pre paring to send out notices of the team to the adjourning counties when a message was received an nouncing that a team had been found by James Marousek at his home a few miles southeast of the city on the Goos farm, and an investigation showed that the team was the one belonging to Mr. Campbell. The owner of the team is of the opinion that the team was taken by someone and driven out to the locality where it was found, while the authoirties are of the opinion that the team be came unhitched in some manner and getting away wandered that far on their way home when found by Mr. Marousek. There has been several cases in the past year where teams' left hitched on the street have been driven around by parties and afterwards left in some place where they were returned to the owner, and it is possible that this is a sim ilar case. When found by Mr. Marousek the hitch straps on the team were hanging loose, as though they had become untied in some manner, but Mr. Camp bell thinks that if the team had gone clear from the city with th.e straps in that shape they would have tramped on the straps, and when found there was. no marks like this on the straps,.. The team was a pair of sorrel mares, 5 and 6 years old, and are a very valua ble team and the fact that they were found is very pleasant news to the owner. Stock Wanted.
