new trial. He is kept in jail to' '
await his trial which will probably I"
be at the next regular term of

The 4th of July was celebrated tl
at Swain's grove by about 300 pee
ple. The crowd was a jolly one
and all bad a good time despite the' ' e
rain that came in the evening , but
Mr. Swain tells us that they moved p
furniture all into one 'room of his b
.louse and those who stayed for g
; he dance took possession of the si
louse , and spent the time in merf 1
ry making and dancing. Mr.
Swain tells us that they will have
another dance at his house Friday
night , July 15- and invites his a
friends to come , ' at

week to celebrate.
Old Uncle Paul called at our of
fice yesterday , and , in his hand
held a small package which looked
like it might have been a package
of nuts , but , it wasn'tChistmas
.time , and , realizing our bump of
curiosity < was as large as ever , he
told us that he had bought two
pounds of potatoes.
The opening of Gregory county
JS. D. , Tuesday , caused a lot of
i people 1 to go there to get a claim.
A lot of marshals , well and heav
ily armed , are sworn in to preserve
order , and gambling of all kinds
is tolerated , so we understand ,
At Bonesteel about 300 persons
were in line all night in the rain
July 4-th waiting to file. Notaries
who were present to make out
homestead 1 filings were allowed but
25c for their services. A lot of
notaries were not allowed to act ,
as not having complied with the
officials requirements.

\Long before the 4th the cannon
packers , toy pistols and poppers
of all kinds made life a burden ( o
all nervous constitutions. At a
time when tired persons sought
repose , the cannon crackers arous *
ed them with a jump , startled persons -
sons who were writing and those
who had settled down to quiet con
versation were caused to jump as
the thundering noise of a big
cracker came suddenly to their
ears. It's all but pleasant unless
you know when the thing is going
to roar.
Sunday night the boys began to
make the night air hideous and
early Monday morning the cannon
crackers awakened at an early
hour j ! those who had intended to
sleep * and there was no more sleep
until the next night. The people
were about early and followed the
band j down to the grove , a mile
west of town where an excellent
program awaited them at the
grand f stand. Speaking , singing
by a ladies quartet consisting of C
of Misses Holcomb , Lally , Petty-
crew and Easley , and a male quin
tet by Profs. Beatty , Gregory and
Bradford , Rev. Clark and Wesley
Holsclaw. The program was said
to be splendid.
The band boys had nicety pre
pared the grounds and rope swings
amused some , while others walked
around or seated themselves in
the shade where they could enjoy
rest and a good quiet time. Af
ter < dinner was over the band
played a number of fine selections
and was applauded heartily by
some ' , while others gathered around
the stand until one could hardly
wend his way through the crowd.
The ball game was announced to
take place upon the hill and a
large number went up to see the
Sparks nine play against Britt.
Only three innings were played
whvn the rain 'drove them from
the i field. The score was even , 2
tallies each. Many got home be
fore the rain and others found
shelter under the canvas at the
grand stand and other places until
they found conveyances home.
It was a gala day in which the
people for miles around came to
enjoy themselves in the good old
way. The little boy with the toy
pistol was there and the bigger
boy at the cane rack or shooting
gallery. A splendid refreshment
stand furnished our wants and
they were kept busy. A telephone
wire was put in connected with
central office and one could talk
down town. Teams went back
and forth , ' conveying passengers
ten cents each way ,
