A man named Joe Coburn, aged 25, lately employed in constructing a military telegraph line, entered the restaurant of Wm. Woolsey at Fountain City a few miles from Deadwood this afternoon and renewed an old quarrel by refusing to pay a bill. Coburn drew his revolver first but Woolsey firing the ball entered Coburns' breast. He lies in a dying condition. It is believed his home is in Michigan. Woolsey is under arrest.

Local Negro Must
Serve Jail Term
Charles Taylor, local negro, was committed to the county jail here Thursday to serve 65 days fro an unexpired 90-day sentence for violating the prohibition law.
Taylor's home was raided three weeks ago by attaches of the sheriff's office, who confiscated a quantity of homemade liquor.
At the time of the raid Taylor was under a suspended sentence for a similar offense.
Judge Fred Jansonius revoked the suspension and Taylor was taken into custody this morning to serve the balance of his sentence.

Mule Won't Join Parade
Mandan Rotarians Have To Leave Him Standing
Mandan Rotarians were somewhat {illegible} early today.
They borrowed an imported Missouri mule for use in the Rotary parade last evening. It was in front of the International Harvester Company and when the parade started. A.H. Peterson, cashier of the Farmers State Bank, climbed on. But the mule wouldn't budge. Finally the Rotarians had to leave him.
When they returned the mule wouldn't budge. A couple dragged him by the halter, with County Superintendent of Schools H.K. Jenson encouraging him from the rear by judicious use of a Ford coupe. They got the mule to the Katz livery barn. The Rotarians figured the jack was sick and probably would die, and it is said the animal was worth $800.
But it was just plain mule stubborness, for it was reported at the livery barn today that the mule appeared all right.
