George Sterling says he knows of a democrat who attempted to follow out the suggestion of Chairman Dunlap, Saturday night, when he told his democratic friends to go home, take a tin cup and fill it with water, drink it and see if they could taste the one-eightieth of a cent tax on the tin used in manufacture of the cup. The democrat traveled all over South Huron in search of water but failed to find it. Mr. Sterling suggests that this is a reflection on that part of the city, and believes the proper authorities should at once extend water mains to that part of town.

Miss Cronk, a teacher in the public schools, should be thankful that there is a mud hole in front of the post-office. Thursday afternoon she was driving V. B. Davis' horse and buggy, alone. The horse is a highly-spirited one, and does not need any pushing on the lines to make him go. While turning out of Third street to the south into the avenue at a rapid rate, the buggy was overturned and the driver was thrown into the mud hole before the post-office, and close up against the support to the side walk. Had the momentum been only a little greater, she must have struck the walk and been severely injured. As it happened, she was only slightly bruised. Her cloak was beautifully coated with mud. Which will rub off when it dries.

Monday, June 30, 1941 - Submitted by Karen SeemanSTARTING TOMORROW, CLERK OF COURTS WILL KEEP A RECORD OF ALL BURIALS
State Law Provides For Uniform System of Listing All Graves in South Dakota
"From the cradle to the grave a record is kept."
This might well be the new motto of the clerk of courts. For, effective tomorrow morning, this officer (in conjunction with the State Board of Health), who already records a detailed account of the birth, marriage, divorce, and death of every person in his particular county, will keep an additional record of the date, cemetery, and exact spot in which each person is buried.
The law providing for this, known formerly as House Bill No. 183, was passed at the last session of the state legislature. The bill, sponsored by the American Legion, was introduced by the Committee on Military Affairs for the original purpose of obtaining the military records of all war veterans buried in South Dakota and to set up a uniform method for recording burial certificates.
The system will work something like this:
Whenever a death occurs in the county, a death certificate will be filed with the clerk of courts, who, in turn, issues two burial permits (an original and a duplicate) to the undertaker in charge. It then becomes the duty of the undertaker to contact the person in charge of the cemetery in which burial is made, and deliver to him the two permits.
As required by law, the caretaker of the cemetery must certify, over his signature, receipt of the permits, the date of burial, and the grave, block, lot, and section numbers. The original permit is then returned to the clerk of courts by the undertaker and the duplicate is kept by the person in charge of the cemetery, who also must keep a record of burials. After receiving the original burial permit back from the undertaker, the clerk of courts immediately records the burial in three places, the file of burial permits, a card index listing every person buried in the county, and on a plat, or map, of the cemetery. Both the card index and the file have certain essential facts about the person buried recorded on them, and a plat is kept for each cemetery in the county.Since the bill was passed by the legislature, WPA laborers have been surveying and maping the cemeteries in the state, and standard plats have been prepared for each of them.
S. P. Glanzer, Beadle County clerk of courts, said that maps of the type used in this project could be obtained by mailing $1 to Rapid City.
"It is almost imperative that every cemetery association secure one of these in order to comply with the law," Glanzer said.
The clerk of courts will keep a plat of each cemetery and will mark the position of the grave of each person buried on it.
There are 30 cemeteries in Beadle County and the clerk of courts is keeping a list of the name, location, and the number buried in each of them.
Glanzer said the number buried is not yet complete, but the Grave Registration Committee will bring it up to date shortly after July 1. From then on the record will be kept by the clerk.
Following is a list of the cemeteries in Beadle County, with the number buried in each.

The graduation of Nellie Ann Kopperud, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Kopperud, closed the registration of a member of that family after a period of 31 years when the eldest daughter, Alice, entered the first grade.
Since that time, all 11 children have graduated from the high school, some with valedictory and some with salutatory honors.

Dr. Huff returned from Wolsey this afternoon and reports Katharine Druse, aged 45, and Burdett Scofield, aged 16, frozen to death in Thursday's storm.
P. Malone, living in Grant township, was in Huron making final proof, when the storm came up. He lost five head of cattle.
Dr. John Diesey started for home a mile north of Iroquois, with his team. After wandering about for six hours he reached the home of Mrs. Ball, but was quite exhuasted.
John Watt living on section 18, 109 61 had 40 head of cattle out when the storm began. His hired man, L. Harper, attempted to drive the stock to shelter, but they stampeded and Harper, with great difficulty, found his way back home. Only four head of cattle were lost.
S. W. Campbell was attending to his stock when the storm came up. He succeeded in getting all the cattle under shelter. His mustache froze fast to his face, and was so filled with ice and snow that breathing became quite difficult, so with his pocket knife he shaved off the mustache as best he could, and had no further trouble. His face and upper lip was somewhat frosted.
There were various reports concerning Ezra F. Fuller. Some of them very sensational. M. A. Collins was in the city on Tuesday. He says that Mr. Fuller, who lives in 110-60 had been in Sanborn county and was three miles on his way home when the storm struck him. He remained out all night and was rescued about 8 o'clock Friday morning by Mr. Olson who heard him calling. Except the freezing of one hand Mr. Fuller was all right and able to be out.
Frank Lyon and Charley White were in Huron when the storm set in. They live in Grant township. When they left home Mrs. Lyon went over to Mrs. White's to remain while the men were absent. The wind blew down the stovepipe that went through the roof of the White residence, and scattered fire about the room which the ladies quickly extinguished. They were unable to replace the pipe. When they began getting cold they crept into bed together, and remained there until Mr. White and Mr. Lyon arrived a little past noon on Friday.
Chas. Stowe, living on the n.w. quarter section of 10 111-61, brings word to this office that Wm. Sage, a young man about 19 years old, had his feet, face and hands badly frozen in Thursday's storm. The young man was caught out in the storm and wandered about for a long time, but finally succeeded in getting shelter in a straw stack, where he remained all night and the next morning crept on his hands and knees to Mr. Stowe's where he found shelter, and by the tender care received at the hands of Mr. Stowe and family is rapidly recovering. The young man is entirely destitute of means and it is feared that he may lose both feet. His parents live in Hand county and have been notified of his condition.

A Tale of a Tail
From a gentleman who called at this office to-day, we learn the following somewhat ludicrous account of a party who had an "experience" in the late storm: Thirteen miles south of Huron lives a man named Story. He was watering his cattle when the storm came up. With him were two dogs which immediately began barking and yelping, frightening the cattle, which ran in every direction. Mr. Story tried to drive them to the barn. Fearing he would be lost and perish, he caught hold of the tail of a two year old steer, which he was satisfied would run to the barn. He was not disappointed. No sooner had he taken a firm grip on the tail when the animal struck out at a lively rate, and made rapid strides in a direction not toward the barn, but Mr. Story hung on to the tail. By the aid of the dogs he succeeded in changing the animal's course, and when it struck the path leading to the barn, it increased its pace. But Mr. Story held fast, and the animal brought him safely to the barn, where he remained till a lull in the storm, when he found his way to the house. Mr. S. wouldn't part with that steer or its tail, for a hundred dollars!
Dr. Hathaway is yet obliged to use crutches because of an attack of rheumatism.
D. Stick and wife departed for Vinton, Iowa, on Wednesday having been here for some time with their son D. L. Stick, and daughter, Mrs. John A. Kemp.
Col. Ed. Sterling, was arrested this afternoon on the charge of assault and battery, by Mrs. Holbrook, his former housekeeper. Plead not guilty. Trial set for Friday of next week, defendent hled on his own recognizance.
A number of Huron people attended the funeral of the late Robert Chambers, which occurred at the family residence, six miles southwest from town, on Tuesday. Rev. D. S. McCaslin conducted the services. Interment in Riverside.
The friends of James Melvin and wife will be sorry to learn of the death of their little child after an illness of only a few days. It died Monday morning and was buried on Tuesday.
The friends of Conductor John Randall and wife will be pained to learn of the death of their child. Mr. Randall is snowbound at Watertown, but is expected to reach home today.
The funeral services of the late Thomas E. Gilkeson will be held at the family residence on the Judge Caldwell farm, a mile and a half south from town, at two o'clock Thursday afternoon. Friends of the family are invited to be present. The remains will be buried in Riverside cemetery. It is the intention of Mrs. Gilkeson to remove them eventually to New York state, where she and her husband formerly resided.
Mat. Whipple, brother to David Whipple of this place, departed for his home in Sioux Falls, on Tuesday, having been here since Wednesday of last week.
Wm. Sage, about 22 years of age, was brought to the alms house on Wednesday afternoon. He has been working for Mr. Beebe, about eight miles northeast from Huron, in Iowa township. A short time before the storm on Thursday, Mr. Sage started to walk to Huron. He had proceeded about two miles when overtaken by the storm. After wandering till newarly night he came upon a straw stack. Digging a hold into it he crept in and remained till Friday morning. When daylight came he recongized the country, and went to the house of Mr. Fowler, where he remained until Saturday. He was then taken to Mr. Stowe's, and from there brought to the alms house in this city. His face is considerably frosted and both feet badly frozen. Dr. Smith gave him medical treatment, and superintendent Stobbs and wife will take good care of him. The doctor says he will recover, and is suprised to find him so well after enduring the storm and cold for 24 hours. Mr. Sage is an intelligent young man and the cause of his being short of means at this time, is because he sent all his money to his parents in the east who recently lost everything by fire.

A HEINOUS OFFENSE
Two Women in the 1st Ward Have a Drunken Row Over Whisky Bought for Them by a Little Girl
The Women in Jail and the Wisky Sellers in a Tight Place
Wednesday night Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Quinn, residents of First street, had another fight -- a desperate one. Liquor fired them up to quarrel.
Thursday they were arrested by the city marshal, brought to the police court and, after a hearing, committed to jail for 24 days each. Mrs. Miller's little girl, 13 years old, was a witness, and the evidence showing that she was in the habit of going to the saloons of John Byers, Julius Borgwardt and Robert Byers to buy liquor for her mother, and perhaps some of the neighbors when she was directed to do so. And it was not brought out in evidence that these men refused to sell liquor to the little child, who is a minor. Further, the child admitted that she sometimes got drunk.
The women went to jail and the little girl is to be cared for by some kind ladies who will provide her a home if she will accept it.
Friday morning, at the instance of district attorney Sterling, the saloon keepers above named were arrested and brought before justice Fred E. Grant, on the charge of selling liquor to minors. Their trials were set for Friday afternoon but afterward the hour was changed to 9 o'clock Saturday morning.
If it should be proven on the examination of Byers and Borgwardt tomorrow, that they did sell liquor to a minor, the justice is required to bind them over to the next term of court. And if found builty there, the penalty that can be inflicted is a fine of not less than $100 nor over $300; or imprisonment not to exceed fifty days; or both, in the discretion of the court.
Isn't it about time for the saloon to go?

JUNE BRIDES PLAN WEDDINGS
In keeping with the popular idea that June is the ideal month for marriages, wedding bells are slated to ring out here this month for several couples in Huron and vicinity.
Although the wedding ceremony itself is compareatively short and receptions are no longer three day celebratoins, every member of the immediate families, friends and relatives of the intended couples gets a workout completing plans. Setting the place, time, and date is only a preliminary step.Invitations much be addressed, attendants chosen, gowned and suited, definite decisions made about flowers and music and then all the where, who and how of the reception.
Although there are several set rules and traditions followed in the marriage rituals, no two wedding are alike. According to Emily Post every wedding must be arranged to best suit its individual situation. The truth of this statement is evident in the wedding plans now being made by several couples who will marry soon.
It isn't every girl who can be married by her employer, but this will be the case when Miss Marion Hopper and the Rev. John Schlarb are wed June 14 by the Rev. S. W. Keck. For the past several years Miss Hopper has been a secretary in the office of Dr. Keck.The Rev. Paul Mallory will be best man and his small daughter, Pauline, flower girl. "Is Pauline ever thrilled," said Mrs. Mallory who is making her daughter's yellow dotted swiss dress. Mrs. Gene Lothrop and Miss Matildas Jones will help carry out the bride's chosen colors of rose and blue in their bridesmaid's gowns.

"Right now I'm hunting up a punch bowl," were the words of Mrs. Lowell Prose, Wolsey, whose daughter Wava, will marry Leroy Busch of Minneapolis, here June 18. Although the wedding will take place in a Huron church, the reception will be held at the family's home near Wolsey.
"At last," said Mrs. Prose, "we are going to get our chance to take advantage of our large lawn and big house at the reception."
The bride-to-be and her sister, Evon, also of Minneapolis, are expected hom to help complete plans the first part of the week. In the meanwhile, Mrs. Prose is making tentative reception plans with the guests' comfort constantly in mind. At present she is arranging and re-arranging the furniture to enable the guests to enuoy their cool refreshments in removed spots away from the busy serving table.
"My daughters, Vera Jane and Ruth will help me," said Mrs. Prose, "and I know Evon will be some place," she laughed.
Even Mr. Prose is busy according to his wife. "He's just like most men," Mrs. Prose confided, "he really likes this type of thing, but it does make him a little nervous."***
In discussing the approaching marriage of her daugher, Lois Lemke, to Kenneth Monson, June 19, Mrs. Lemke said: "My father married all his children, but Lois will be the first grandchild he has ever married."

Fighting For Their Homes
Many Farmers in South Dakota See Their Property Vanish
Huron, October 9. – While men were burning a fire break around a tree claim, eight miles northwest of here this afternoon, the fire got beyond their control and swept over a vast stretch of country.
The wind was blowing 40 miles and hour, and it drove the fire so rapidly that all attempts to chock it proved useless.
The town of Broadland narrowly escaped destruction, and the people of Hitchcock, 18 miles northwest of here, only saved their town by back-firing. All the people in the vicinity have been fighting fire, and a posse of men have been sent fro her to aid them.
The fire was not under control at 8 o’clock tonight, but burning in smaller strips. The section burned over is from 7 to 10 miles wide by 20 miles in length.
The loss to the settlers will be very heavy, as in the burned district there were scores of prosperous farms.
The same section was devastated by fire last year.
