NUMBER 33 ECHOS OF THE TWO BIG DAYS Ali Brandley tried to ride Banjo jske, but didn't stay long enough. At that he rode him several jumps. The Play ilouse helped to keep the 4rowd in good humor by giving two shows each evening to packed houses. LOCATION CHANGED In compliance with the wishes of the citizens generally, it has been de- cided to place the statue of Ekalake in the court house park. The first location proposed, the spot where Ekalake is buried, is five miles front town and was objected to on account of the distance. It was thought bet- ter to place the statue within the city limits and near the center of town where it can be viewed and en- joyed by everybody in Ekalaka or who Mrs. Perham of Glendive gave a visits here. The ground set aside for % ,iry interesting address to the crowd the park south of town will be enclos- in the evening, which was well re- ed with a neat iron fence and other eived. improvemges made as originally The Nilles City Band did themselves proud with their music.
