observed in nearly every community in
some way. In eastern states often
times a neighborhood dinner is partici g
pated m at one of the homes. Games sia
of all kinds are enjoyed by the young a
folks and often times the old folks are fc !
made to feel young enough to parlici-
pate in the games and amusements.

turned from a weeks visit down in Keya t !
Paha county with our old friend Jos
Langer. Mr. Nenzel wants to sell his

count of his children. He has four
quarter sec-Jons of land and can cut300
tons of hay. He has good winter and
summer range and can run 300 head of
CHttle there. His improvements are
good and cost near half the price he
asks for the ranch. Call on or write
Mr. Nenzel or this office for further
The editor is indebted to Mr. and
Mrs. Caton for a nice lot of samples
of the wedding cake , all of which goes
to prove that Mrs. Towne Caton is
an excellent cootc and will never be
excelled by any one. Now , we want
some one else to get married and brinjf
in some more cake. The editor thinks
he is a pood judge of cake. The wed
ding announcements of Mr. aud Mrs.
Caton sent to numerous friends state
that tbe couple will be at home after
Jan. 1st at Stearns , S. D.
Judge Harrington has won tbe
praise and admiration of Cherry Coun
ty people in the discharge of his duties
as judge in this as in other terms of
court in which they have witnessed his
fairness to all , being alike impartial to
contending parties in civil action and
with a determination of enforcing the
law in criminal action. The judge's
readiness to decide questions in prac
tice groatly facilitates the progress of
court proceedings. John. G. Maher is
a splendid court reporter and is always
at his post of duty.

I. M. Jones and Mrs. Ballard , lately
from Iowa were married Sunday at
Rosebud. They returned Tuesday ana
greeted in the evening by & thundering
applause or serenaded by the boys. Ev
erybody knows I. M. Joues aud every
body likes the old boy too , so it's it no
wonder that Mrs. Ballard could see the
charms that sages have seen in his
face. Here's to them may they en
joy the blessings of growing old , hap
pily together _ without a cloud to cast a
shadow ovur them or mar their future.
The DEMOCRAT congratulates them
both.
The case of the state vs E. J. Me
Lcughlin charged with setaling a pony
from John Wray went to the jnry Fi *
clay night about 10 o'clock and the jury ,
kfter being out the * remainder of t&e
oiShtrbronghtln "a verdict of not guilty.
Judge Harrington lectured the defend
ant severely before dismissing saying
in part that while the jury was justified
in bringing in a verdict of "not guilty"
that thoy would have also been just
fied in bringing in a verdict of "guilty' *
ind that while the jury had fouud a
possible doubt as to his being guilty ,
-hat he ( the judge ) believed him to be
; uilty. It is thought that McLaughlin
las left the country as he started north
m hor60 back shortly after being dis-
nissed and it is not reported that any
me has seen him since.
O. W. Morey and a party of several
> thers went up north of the Minnecha-
luza last Sunday and while exploring
i ledge of rocks found a snakes den in
vhich harbor a lot of snakes. One
attler was killed.four feet long with 9
cttles on and the tail of another was
tacked as he yent into hiding. They
ould hear the snakes buzzing in their
lenin a way that sounded .hideous.
5Var bj another wondersul discovery
ras made one which many of the stu-
lents of nature will be interested in in-
estigating. In a long ledge of rocks
arts of K skeleton projected. Mr.
lorey. thinks it must have been a huge
ea serpent or something of that nature ,
libs were found projecting out from
be rock at intervals and at no great
istance , what appeared to be a bone
f the head. Parts of these bones were
rokeu off and brought home by Mr.
lorey and are on exhibition at his jew *
Iry store , and where you can learn the
rhole story as 'twas told me.
Miss Josie Webb , daughter of Mr ,
nd Mrs. J. C. Webb , of the Donober
otel , and on officer and his wife from
lie Fort with two'children came near
aying a serious accident one day last
reek while out driving. They had

on's-dwelling on the Miunechaduza

hey had "gotten to the narrow fill be
ore going onto the bridge , a runaway
earn came down the hill from town
nd met them brushing past at full
.peed and just grazing tho buggy as
hey passed. The officer with rare pres
ence of mind commanded his wifu and
Miss Webb to jump out and , tako the
ihildren and rnn down the bank which
hey .did before the team reached them ,
hen the officer jumped out holding the
earn by the "bridles which in lunging
