Dallas Lid Not Too Tight.
Dallas , S. D. , Sept. 30. Special to
The News : The city government o
Dallas Is liberal but the edict has
gone forth that any gamblers attempt
Ing to ply their trade during the open
ing will get the limit of both fine ant'
Imprisonment as per the state law
ind the city ordlance. In addition to
his regular detail of patrolmen Chie
of Police Orville Wakofiuld has ap
pointed twenty extra officers , many
of them mounted , to preserve orde
during the opening.
The saloons are expected to close
but the proprietors have not received
such emphatic orders as the men who'
operate liquor emporiums in Gre- '
gory. Consequently there Is a possi
bility that visitors may bo able to |
quench their thirst after 9 o'clock at
night. E. O. Patterson , city attorney
of Dallas , and formerly assistant at
torney general of the interior depart
ment , believes In liberality but intim
ated that if the saloonkeepers keep
open after hours It will not bo with
the consent of the city officials. Un
less Sheriff Price and County Attor
ney McDonnell interfere the probabili
ties are that a few screws will be
loose in the Dallas lid during tiie
opening.

His Story of the Accident.
Winslde , Neb. , Sept. DO. Editor
News : I notice In your paper of Sept.
25 that J. S. Butterlleld puts the
blame on the car he men In his acci
dent. I am the fellow that drove the
other car. He also states that ho was
running very slow.
I met Mr. Butterfleld on a > litttle
hill east of Osmond. Ho was com
ing down the hill at the rate of not
less than twenty-five miles an hour ,
the road was a little deep and I
could see that it would bo hard for
Mr. Butterfleld to turn out so I turned
out and gave him the full road. If
I hadn't done so wo would have had
a collision , as Mr. Butterfleld's car
only got the wheels out of the road
when it went over. It looked to me
as if Mr. Butterfleld was a new driv
er or else ho used very poor Judg
ment in trying to turn out , at the
speed he was going. He can't blame
anyone but himself as he had the
whole road to himself. I have four
witnesses who saw it. So I want
you to correct this as I don't want
the blauie.

Norfolk Team Now Disbanded.
Tho- Norfolk team Is now disbanded.
After last Sunday afternoon's game
with Croiphlon the players made it
inovvn that the seabon of the national
game in this city had come to a close
The management of the team in ex
tending hearty thanks for the great
support from the Norfolk fans , declare
clare the season was one of the best
over experienced in this city , and also
made it known that it is not likely
that Norfolk will go into the State
league next year. The players as a
whole huvo played the game tills year
for ' all the sport that It held and at
no time was tlie question of money
involved. ii i While home players have
received i small compensation for their
work on Hie loam , they declare them
selves repaid by the good rooting of
the Norfolk fans.
W. J. Stafford , the manager of tlie
. team , will probably resign from his
position because of other work next
year. In taking this action Mr. Staf.
ford declares that although he is well
satisfied with tlie support of Hie bus !
ness men , ho finds it almost impossl
bre to take care of the duties as base
ball manager and attend to his other
duties.
C. J. Hulac has made a good secre
tary and has worked wonders In so *
curing first class games for the Nor
folk fans.
Treasurer P. L. Zuolow , like the
other officials of the team , lias devot
ed much energy to the team and will :
the co-operation of the players am
other officials ho has kept the team's
finances in a substantial condition.
There has been very little domain
from the team upon business men for
support tins year and this fact has
been recognized by business men who
linvo reciprocated with offers to aii
financially at any time tlie team re
quired such aid.
Taking It as a whole , Norfolk has
seen good games and partly for this
reason the "league" talk lias dvvindlei
down to fast " "
a "home-made" lean
next year.
Much can be said of the good work
of the Norfolk players and In check
ing the players' work on the ofifcials
scoie book It has been shown tha
each man has featured in many plays
during fast games.
Denton , who was the star pitcher In
the early part of the season , has no
pitched for a month , but he is hailed
as a "coming twlrler. "
Keleher , like Denton , a high schoo1
boy , made good in the pitcher's boa
in the early part of the season am :
his work In 'the ' field and on shor
was well recognized as good baseball
Keleher was known for a time as a i
"base on balls artist. " His ability to
slap tlie homo plate while stooping
low had some effect on the pitcher
and also the umpire.
J. J. Miller , the Norfolk firemai
baa played almost every positlot :
on the team , at odd times , is considered
ored a good all round player. Ofter
he has been utilized on first , catcl
or conterfield.
Some Spectacular Players.
In lining up the stars , Oscar Krnhn
popularly known as "Shorty , " can be
nuniboroil as one of the leaders. His
sensational bits and long drives have
often brought Norfolk out of a tight
hole and some of his spectacular
catches of difficult files and liners
an short or In the field have brought
him admiration from the fans. Shorty
sprained Ills ankle two weeks ago in a
game with Burke. He , with ex-Capt
Gllssman , are recorded as the heavi
est hitters on the team , with Krahn
having the shade better of it for long
drives.
C. G. Glissman , who retired as cap
tain In favor of Capt. Hoffman , left
the team for a few weeks and made
good , with teams in the surrounding
towns. i He came back , however , be
fore the season was over and has
been doing good work on first , or In
: > ontorflt > ld. Ills llmoly lilfu huvo
tolped the score board on Norfolk'ti
ml ,
Mlllard South , the third base hero
'or Norfolk , conies In for much glory.
UH spectacular jumps for fast balls
uive proved a mystery to the oppon-
