Charley Perkins , a young man
who has been working for Fred
Bucchle , was kicked by a young
horse Thursday noon when he
went to the barn to get his team
to go to work. The hone kicked
him twice , knocking him down
the first time and as he attempted
to rise was kicked again , breaking
his Tight arm. The horse kicked
him first in the stomach and seem
ed to have been surprised as he.i .
was standing with his head in the'1
doorway of the barn when Mr.
Perkins came round the gran
ary arid spoke to the horse , but
was righc onto him and the horse
began to kick. Mr. Buechle at
once brought Charley to town and
had Dr. Compton set the broken
arm.
We print the big advertisement
of the Old Settlers' Reunion on
North Table this week , which will
be held Saturday , Sept. T , 1907 ,
in James K. Pettycrew's grove.
It is 3 miles from where the re
union was held last year and is
gotten up by the same people who *
made a grand success of their re
union last year-and inspired some
of Valentine people with the idea
of starting a county fair. Thex
people on North-Table are of the
kind that make a success of what
they undertake and this year will
again conduct a county fair along
with the Old Settlers' Reunion.
Our only regret is that it does not
last but a day. All who attended
this reunion last year felt well re
paid for cheir trouble and will en
deavor to attend this year.
The city is building some cement
crossings since they have found
some hesitancy among the people
whom the town board had notified
to build cement or brick side
walks. The city can build cross
ings and should build them before
people beyond these crossings are
called upon tp , put in sidewalks.
We are in favor of good sidewalks
but we believe the proper'way is
to complete the work with good
crossings and extend the side walks
to the limits of the city and treat
all alike. It is unfair to compel
some to build sidewalks while oth
ers are permitted to go for years
without that expense and yet they
enjoy the benefit of other side
walks built at the expense of those
who have kept up the only side
walks in the town. There should
be no favored class. Those who
have built and maintained side
walks for years for other people
to walk on who had no sidewalks ,
now want to see some return
favor that they may walk on a
sidewalk when they desire to stroll
about the city. It is only a fair
proposition that if one person is
compelled to build a sidewalk , the
city should build a street crossing
and that every other person should
also build a sidewalk. Treat them
all alike and be fair in this matter.
Those who own lots for specula
tion should not .be exempt from
building sidewalks because there
are no buildings on these lots. Oth
er people want to walk , who have
been compelled to build sidewalks ,
and should have the privilege of
walking through the city on simi
lar walks and of crossing streets
on similar material for crossings.
Any man who has been ordered to
build a sidewalk might defy the
city until other property owners
have been similarly notified or de
mand that such-walks be built to
other parts and throughout the
city , and we hear some are going
to make this test.

Wm. II. West Minstrels make
their appearance at the opera
house on Sept. 7th. The attrac
tion is well mounted and carefully
staged and the company includes
some of America's most clever
people. Manager Rtcaby has this
season gone in more for the gen
uine old style negro entertainment
than for the glitter that sometimes
covers up a lack of talent , at the
same time he has not forgotten
the surroundings , and the- result
is a very novel and enjoyable per
formance. The opening part ,
styled "The Awaiting of Dawn. } )
is a very artistic and attractive
piece of stage arrangements. The
grand entry being an innovation
minstrelsy.
Rose well J. Wright , the noted
soprano ; Lloyd Balliet , James
Cautwell , W. Renaud are a corps
of ballad singers seldom gathered
together , and are backed by a
chorus of twenty well-trained
voices. George Van and Billy
Graham , the principal end men ,
are too well known for comment
here and are ably supported by six
clever story tellers and songsters.
The first part concludes with an
artistic arrangement of clever
songs and dances , the evolution
and execution being difficult and
finished.
Tbe olio opens with a number
of new. novel and really sensation -
al specialties , among which ap
pear the European novelty act of
Cameron and Toledo , their act be
ing one of the cleverest of the day
aiid beautifully staged. Major
Smith ; the Hindoo stick marvel
manipulator ; Geo. Van , a comedian
with an exceptional voice ; The
Battle Ship Four , a quartet of
singers and dancers who stand at
the head in their particular line.
The music being far above the
average , and , as of old , the West
show this season stands out promi
nently aj the real leader in min
strelsy.
Notice the change of date of the
Old Settlers' Reunion on North
