ABERDEEN, S. D., July 6.—An in
teresting encounter between the cit
izens of Britton and the farmers of
Marshall county, on the one hand,
and the employes of a traveling circus
and the employes of a traveling cir
cus, including the elephants and the
band, on the other, resulted in a vic
tory for South Dakota citizenry and
a defeat for the circus people. Brit
ton annually holds a three days' race
meet. This year the dates for the
race meet w«re fixed for June 28, 29
and 30. After the dates had been an
nounced, the advance man for the
circus appeared and sought a license
for the circus to give a performance
at Britton on June 29. The Britton
city auditor objected to giving the li
cense, because he feared the circus
would be too dangerous competition
for th-3 race meet. Finally a compro
mise was effected, by the terms of
which the race meet was to start on
the disputed date at 1 o'clock in the
afternoon, and the circus not to start
its performance until the races were
over.
Britton people were surprised
therefore, to see, shortly after 1
o'clock, the circus getting in line for
the straet parade. Quick action was
necessary and the Britton residents
massed themselves across the streets
in such a manner that the parade
could not pass. The farmers hastened
to the aid of the townspeople, and
soon thousands were grouped in the
street determined the circus should
not interrupt the racing by the pa
rade. The circus band marched, fol
lowed by the parade, but the crowds
did not budge. Discomfited, the cir
cus leaders withdrew for consultation
and then changed tactics. Sudden
ly the elephants in tne circus were
massed together and placed at the
head of the procession. Again the
band played gaily and the big parade
headed by a dozen elephants forming
Again the crowd refused to budge,
and when the elephants were nearly
upon them the circus management, to
avoid injuring someone, halted the
parade and abandoned the attempt to
give it at all.
An attempt was made to give the
performance, however, the farmers
who had crowded into town were an
gered at the treatment the circus
people had given the town, and when
the tent was opened less than 50 peo
ple were on hand to see the perform
ance. The remainder were down
town at the county fair grounds
watching the races. At 4 o'clock the
circus management disgustedly
struck its tents, declining to give an
evening'show.

Some Interesting Figures and Statis
tics Regarding the Personnel of the
Local Military Organization.
The officers and members of Com
pany A, Frst infantry, North Dakota
national guard, assembled at the ar
mory Thursday afternoon at T30 fcr
drill. Drill will also occur again to
night again at 10:00 o'clock the com
pany will board the special car and
remain entrained until the arrival of
No. 6 at 3:07, which will whisk the
boys away to their annual encamp
ment on the Rock Island military res
ervation about seven miles sout hof
Devils Lake.
Camp will be reached about 4:00
o'clock Friday afternoon and the var
ious companies of the regiment will
have to pitch their tents and get set
tled down in their new quarters be
fore "taps" is blown that night. The
regular camp routine will commence
Saturday morning and for the ensuing
ten days, the military reservation will
present a war like appearance. In
company with the national guard
forces of the state there will also be
encamped at Camp Burke, as it is
known, the first battalion of the Four
teenth United States infantry. The
regulars will be under the command of
Major Albright. Major Albright, by
the way, is the officer who mustered
in the North Dakota volunteers at the
time of the Philippine insurrection,
so he has many friends among the of
ficers of the state troops.
Company A of the militia is distinct
ly a North Dakota company and Bis
marck organization. Twenty-seven
of the forty-six members on the roster
were born in North Dakota. Hence
59 per cent of the entire company are
"native sons." Of this number, 16
were born in Bismarck—33 per cent of
the company. Of the remaining 19
men, 18 are American born and one a,
foreigner.
A glance at the birthplaces of the
18 Americans reveals the fact that
most of them came from the states
which contribute the most new set
tlers to North Dakota. Four were
born in Minnesota three were born
in Iowa, two were born in Wisconsin
two in Illinois two in Ohio, and the
other five, one was born in Pennsyl
vania, one in Montana, one in South
Dakota, and the other two represent
the eastern and western extremities
of the continent, one having been born
in Boston, Mass., while the last was
born in Pullman, Wash.
The total height of the company is
263 feet 7 inches, or an average of 5
feet 8 1-2 inches. The total age of
the company is 1,038 years, or an av
erage of 22 1-2 years. The tallest
man in the company is 6 feet 2 inches.
The oldest man is 32 years of age,
and the youngest just past 18 years.
If the members of the company de
sired to start a newspaper they could
easily do so, for among their number
may be found one reporter, two print
ers and two pressfeeders, besides a
bunch of other fellows who ought to
be able to hustle about the streets and
sell the papers. There are two steno
graphers, two liverymen, seven driv
ers and teamsters, seven students, on«
banker and insurance agent, eight
clerks, one bookkeeper, one traveling
salesman, one postal clerk, one bar
ber, one engineer, one steam fitter,
one plasterer, one painter, one tele
phone man, one farmer, one land clerk
one drug clerk, one railroad foreman,
one railroad fireman and one plum
ber.
None of the companies at the camp
this year will be so largo as a year
ago, as there is a tendency among the
members of the company get "cold
feet" when the state troops go to
Devils Lake. They are all willing to
go to American Falls. Wash., or down
to Wyoming, or to Wisconsin, everj
alternate year, when they can get a
free trip away from home at the ex
pense of the state. Hence manv of
the companies will bo small this year,
and will be filled with recruits. How
ever, ton days drill at camp will make
a 'rookie" think that he has been a
soldier all his life.
SOME FAMILY MIXUP.
Husband Declared Legally Dead After
Absence of eYars.
SPOKANE, Wash.. July 6.—When
Judge Henry L. Kennan, presiding
judge in the Spokane county superior
court, granted a decree of divorce to
Daniel Hedican of Spokane from Lil
lian M. Hadican. living in Central
Massachusetts, there was disclosed
for a modern version of "Enoch Ar
den." They were married in 1897
and lived here until 1!)01. when Hed
ican went to Alaska to build a rail
road for M. J. Heney. passing the fol
lowing eight years in construction
camps.
Meanwhile his wife returned to her
mother's home in Massachusetts,
where, after seven years, the courts
declared Hedican "legally dead." and
Mrs. Hedican married a second hus
band. Application then was made by
Mrs. Hedican in the county court here
to be appointed administratrix of Hed
ican's estate. The railroad builder
did not appear in court, but his coun
sel offered proof that he was alive.
Mrs. Hedican's journev followed the
announcement that Hedican's property
has been sold for taxes, and she came
to contest the action to quiet tne titles
Afterward she refused to live with
him.

FOREST FIRES
EXPECTED
SPOKANE, Wash., July 6.—Timber
owners and rangers in Washington,
Idaho, Oregon. Montana and the prov
ince of British Cotumbia declare that
the forests are safe from fires for at
least 30 days, as the result of the re
cent rains, and announce that plans
have been completed to prevent a
repetition of last year's destruction
of life and property in the government
reserves and private holdings.
Judge Albert L. Flewelling, presi
dent of the Northwestern Forest and
Conservation association, which takes
in the states of Washington. Idaho,
Montana, California, reports that the
associations in Idaho are working to
gether and that private holders are
co-operating with the federal govern
ment and other properties throughout
the season, as well as assisting in em
forcing tne fire laws to the letter in
the several commonwealths. I
"Every precaution is being taken to
protect the timber holdings," said
Judge Flewelling, "and in doing this'
we are also looking out for the set-'
tiers. The organization is complete,
in every way so far as it can be with
the means at our command and if
the war department permits the use
of soldiers to patrol the forest we will
have the most effective fire fighting
force ever gathered together.
"Lumbermen operating in the North
Idaho forests are confining their work
to cutting the fire-killed timber and it
is expected that several billion feet of
logs will be cut there during the next
two or three years. While the loss
of last season's fire was enormous, it
was not as heavy as reported, be
cause of the fact that much timber will
be saved. The greatest loss was in
the lives of the fire-fighters.
"We have reports of only one small
fire so far this season. It was start
ed by a careless camper in Idaho. But
prompt investigation was made with
the result that the man was arrest
ed and convicted."
