Our old friend Billy Welch, with his old lime smiling countenance, arrived in this city this week from Butte, Montana, after an absence of about two years. Billy used to be night clerk at the International, a position which he filled for several years before he left here. He re ports nice weather in Butte. Our managing editor has had an elephant on his hands this week in the shape of a raging toothache, which has placed him in a mood where nothing is safe that stands in his way. Consequently the city re porter, who believes "discretion the better part of valor has been obliged to poke his news under the back door of the print-shop and run,there fore it is quite likely that some of his excellent work may have es caped the wrathy editor's eye and been lost. However we present the public with such local bits as were saved and promise better next week. Last Monday night, station agent, J. E. Owen, boarded the east bound passenger and went away,as he said, to Chicago. It has been discovered however, that he had not notified his company of his intended depart ure, or sent in any resignation, consequently the matter was looked into and an auditing committee was sent down from Deadwood this wtek to audit his book, and it is strongly suspicioned that aconsiderable short age will be found. Owen seems to have been imbibing ot the red wine quite freely of late, and has also been bucking that little wheel where nobody knows where the little ball goes to a considerable extent, and it seems as though the redoubtable gentleman found himself somewhat in the hole to the company and therefore concluded to try another clime before it got two warm for him here. Owen has had charge of the passenger depot here about two years. Before that time he was in charge of the passenger depot of the & Mat Lead City. An excellent band is now being gotten into shape at the U. S. Indian t'e ool under the able leader ship of Mr Albert Tourtillot. indus trial teacher. Theband consists of twenty-four pieces, and the best musical talent of the school baa been selected.to make up theorganixation. The instruments are all brand new ..nd of the finest quality having been manufactured by the Randolph Wurlitzer company of cincinnattl. Ohio. The boys practice every day In their Band Hall on the school grounds, and under the able leader ship or their instructor, Mr. Tour tillot, we fell coufident that the school will by next spring turn ont a band that is liable to make our town band turn green with envy. And maybe the Indian boys will give us some open air concerts, which will be quite a treat for our citizens as we have not had an opportunity of hearing anything of that sort for quite a while. We understand that the town band is soon to give a pay concert at Library Hall. We have not had a free concert for about two years. The city reporter has been in formed by the editor that after a lapse of several Months, Madame De Parlay has decided to resume her position on the Union staff as society reporter, which position she was obliged to abandon last fall on ac count of the fact that the Union type force was not suffioient to set her supply of copy along with the vast amount of other work that was then pouring in on the paper. This however, has all been obiviated by the great improvements in the typesetting department, therefore Madam De Parley will again write up the social whirl for eur columns every wrek or at least every two weeks. Last fall there seemed to be quite a little coajecture as to whom the Madam De Parley really was and quite a number of our eub cribers, we understand came to the conclusion that she tai no other than the editor's wife herself. This however, vas an entire wronjj impression and the editor's wife assures the writer that the editor refuse! even to tell her who It is. Mrs. Sisley, wife of Simon Sisley 1 ^-T n3Z$ "'S?* S?SsS-1?-' '.*' who was killed a couple of week ago, by Bud Chaffee, went to Sturgis during the early part of the week to counsel the States Attorney of Meade County concerning her husb and's death and in hopes that she might secure the arrest of Chaffee. As it will be remembered, imtned* iately after the shooting Chaffee was arrainged before Justice Keith of Dazell, where he pleaded guilty of the crime but claimed it was in self defense. Justice Keith after listen ing to Chaffee's story released him from custody. This was rather a loose way of treating so serious a matter and Mrs. Sisley determined to appeal to the States Attorney. The appeal was in a way successful as the sheriff of Meade County and the States Attorney left Sturgis thie week for the scene of the crime and they intend to throughly inves tigate the affair. Chaffee will pro bably be re-arrested. The shooting Is said to have resulted from an old fued which has existed between the two men for several years past.. A. W. Bangs had the misfortune to suffer a slight stroke of paralysis last Saturday while in his office attending to his daily work, Some thing went wrong with the stove pipe and the Judge got up on a chair and attempted to fix it, He was compelled to reach quite a distance and this is thought to have brought it on. He soon commenced to feel a peculiar numbness come over his left side, and found in a few mom ents that he could not use his left arm and left leg at all. A doctor was called and Mr. Bangs was re moved to his home, where he is still confined, although the doctor says he will be all right again in a short time. Mr. Bangs displayed remar kable fortitude when he found out what was the matter and laughed and joked in that irrepressible way of his that makes every body happy around him. We all hope" for his speedy recovery. Saturday evening the Christian Edeavor Sociaty of the Congrega tional Church gave a social at the home of the Misses Chase.
