The Huronite applauds Hon. A. C. Mellette as the next governor of Dakota. It praises his integrity and ability, notes wide South Dakota support, and predicts a competent, bright territorial administration shaping the region’s future as it moves toward statehood.
Delegations from across South Dakota arrive in Huron as temperance workers gather for a large convention to back the Sioux Falls constitution and a prohibition platform. Speakers hail Governor Mellette, pledge unity across churches and parties, and vow vigorous action to rid the state of the saloon.
The piece notes waning opposition to the Sioux Falls constitution with few South Dakota newspapers favoring a new charter. Rumors claim Gov Church welcomed council adjournment news, while Huron greets delegates to a temperance convention and Sioux Falls celebrates better government and progress for the state.
From the northeast corner of the county comes word that five masked men seized Bou langer and placed a log chain around his neck to force a confession about the burning of Antone Messey’s barn last fall. He was released after admitting the act, and walked to Raymond to report the attack. District Attorney Hassel is en route. Three suspects have been captured. two others are being pursued by the sheriff.
