Martin Studio Music and Languages Ten West Main Street, Second Floor ALTERNATE CELEBRATIONS Proposition on Which Commercial Club Will Determine Sentiment. A proposition to alternate Fourth of July celebrations between Dead-! wood and Lead is one' which has been receiving more or less consideration of late. No move looking towards an agreement along these lines has yet been made, but An effort is being made by officers of the Lead Commercial club with view to determining what the public sentiment is on the plan. Those who advote celebrating in Deadwood one year and in Lead the next, point out that the holding of simultaneous celebrations tends to encourage competition between the two cities, which results, at times in both communities going to greater expense than is warranted, in their attempts to outdo each other in the matter of attractive features. It is contended that this competition of rivalry often creates conditions which amount to an imposition on the business men and others, who are called on to contribute towards defraying the expenses of such celebrations.

It is likewise pointed out that under the proposed plan each city will be relieved every other year of the expense of staging a celebration, while the people of both communities will be close to a celebration each year. The short distance between the two towns and the adequate interurban railroad service, with the possibility of special service for such occasions, make it convenent for the people to get from one place to the other expeditiously and at small cost. A number of leading citizens have already beep interviewed on the subject and the majority of expressions, thus far obtained. have been in favor of the alternating scheme. It appears however, that it is a proposition on which practically the entire population should agree, before any effort 19 made to put it into effect.

ARTS AND CRAFTS. The Arts and Crafts department of the Woman's club met on Friday afternoon at the home of Miss Maude Faust. Mrs. A. L.

The afternoon closed with delicious refreshments. The attendance WAS one of the largest of the year, in spite of a day that was stormy and unpleasant. ARGUING BERRY CASE.

In his testimony he told of threats Trimmed Hats off ANNETTE We carry the largest GAGE line of Handkerchiefs in the Black Hills. Simms' Millinery Defense Strives to Show Killing Was Prompted by Fear. Late yesterday afternoon, William N. took the witness stand in the circuit court in Deadwood, in his own defense, in the case in which he is charged with the murder of Matt Johnson, committed on the Berry place in the Mountain Ranch district, last March.

He told his story slowly and deliberately and in his answers to questions showed decided weakness of memory. was evident from the nature of his story and from the attitude of his attorneys that the defense is based on the alleged fact that Berry having been made against him, bethe had knowledge of cause murder of a rancher Jacob Ryti, of the neighborhood, three years ago, which implicated those whom he feared. He said Johnson had come to his place on several occasions, with no apparent object in his visits, unless it was to do him bodily harm or kill him. He said that on the morning of the killing, he saw Johnson approaching the cabin and locked the door; that Johnson came up and knocked at the door and that he, Berry, shot him, through the door, with a rifle. The recital of Berry's story occupied the latter part of yesterday afternoon and the early part of this morning.

He was followed by a half dozen witnesses, called by the defense, who testified to the defendant's reputation as a law-abiding citizen. They said he was not quarrelsome; that he was more inclined to submit to abuse than to resent it by physical violence. The state's case, which was put in yesterday, consisted of the testimony of county officials to whom Berry had made a statement after coming to Deadwood immediately following the killing. Early in this afternoon's session, State's Attorney Stirrett began his argument to the jury. He contended that the defense had introduced no facts that indicated a state of fear in Berry's mind sufficient to justify him in killing Johnson.
