Judge Hollenbeck of the district court granted the injunction upon the application of Henry Bolton, a merchant, and the man ager of the show, Mr. Thompson, was placed under bonds of 200 to await trial. The ohow left town tonight for Norfolk. 'This Is a case of one man against the town," said Representative Zuelow, one of the most ardent supporters of the show. "The show was the most orderly that ever came to town. There was not a bit of ob scenity or disorder about It and the citi zens generally were In favor of letting It stay throughout the period scheduled for, up to tomorrow." "I had no fight on the character of the show," said Mr. Bolton. "There Is a state law which forbids a show of this kind to occupy our public streets, and because this how violated that law I opposed it." The how attempted to secure vacant lots belonging to the Union Pacific, but failed. The same attorney who represented Mr. Bolton represents tne union racmc here. When Mnnaeer Thompson of the show was arrested and required to give $:00 bond, twenty-four of the leading citizens nt th town. aKKregatlng In wealth over SSOO.OOO. rushed in and offered themselves as bondsmen.

When the showmen got ready to leave town the leading citizens got together and signed a statement testifying that the show was good and deserved the best patronage of every town It might visit.

DAKOTA CITY, Neb.. June 30.-(Speclal.) County Judge J. J. Elmers had a very perplexing problem to solve yesterday aft ernoon, which as yet remains unsolved, he having taken the matter under considera tion pending investigation. The question at issue is: Can an Indian formerly mar ried to a squaw under the customs of the tribe, afterward dissolving partnership with his wife under tribal customs, be granted a marriage license under the laws of this state to remarry, no divorce having been granted either party, and the former wife having remarried according to law? The matter came up by Charles E. Decora, a Winnebago Indian, 32 years of age', apply ing for a license to wed hlB Inamorata, a squaw of the Winnebago tribe, 21 years of age. Armed with a communication from George W. Ashford, banker at Homer, ad dressed to the county Judge, who stood good for the license fee. Decora, who is a good looking specimen ot the Indian tribe, being about six feet tall, well bronzed, smooth faced and blessed with all the characteristics of his race and speaking good English, appeared before Judge Elmers and made his wants known. The application was made out In full by the dis penser of licenses when the question was asked Decora if he had ever been married. "Yes," said he, "about seven years ago I married a squaw, under Indian custom, by the name of JesHln Greenhalr. We lived together a couple of months, when I wanted to get married the legal way, and she wouldn't. We then parted, according to Indian custom, and about five years ego she was married in a legal way to Oliver Lamere, another Winnebago, at Pender, Neb., and they have several children. Now, I want to get married the legal way to my Indian wife and can't see whyhey won't give mu license. I never get divorce, neither my wife, but we quit living to gether under Indian custom." Under the conditions, neither having se cured a divorce, Judge Elmers refused to Issue the license until ho could muke fur ther Inquiry into Indian customs and ways through the Indian agent at the Winne bago agency, who has been written to. Much perplexed as to why he could not be married the legal way, Decora went to where his Indian maid had been patiently awaiting bis return, sitting in their buggy with a blanket over her hed. Decora, vnon being refused his license, said: "Well, don't care much, anyhow; live with my woman Just as I have been under Indian custom. Won't bother any more guess about getting married legal way, though Ashford wanted me to get married that way." And getting in his buggy drove back to the agency.
