Deadwood is fiercely proud of its raucous past and visitors can walk down the streets of Deadwood any day of the year amid the atmosphere of the Old West. There are chain stores and neon lights, but the streets are still narrow and the store fronts are fronts are those built when the town sprung out of Deadwood Gulch almost 100 years ago. Gold miners from the nearby Homestake Mine still stroll the streets, as do loggers from the Hills and cowboys from the range country, and they give Deadwood it's idelible character. Gold made-and almost broke-Deadwood. In 1874 Lt.

Col. George A. Custer led an expedition into the southern Black Hills and discovered gold. The first rush came in what is now the town of Custer. By late fall of 1875, 7,000 miners were there.

Then a prospector brought news of a rich strike in the northern Hills, in a gulch area that had recently been burned over by a forest fire. By the spring of 1876, there were fewer than 100 miners left in Custer and more than 25,000 jammed the narrow confines of Deadwood Coburn I 'JJT JtV a Eddie Rypkema rf fieW Busy place The sound of music Young and old alike are moved by the sounds of a marching band and the Deadwood Municipal band, under the direction of Robert Gorder, is one of the finest in the area. Playing a concert both Friday and Sunday, as well as being the official rodeo band, members return to Deadwood from across the county to participate. Friday's 7 p.m. concert will be held across the street from the Franklin Hotel at the Montgomery Ward catalog store while Sunday's sound will originate from St.

Joseph's Hospital. A complete program of music to be enjoyed at these concerts can be found on the front page of today's Lead Daily Call and Deadwood Pioneer Times. Among the former residents who are coming back to play in the band for the celebration are Rick Foreman of Alaska, Bill Hoist of Texas and Jim Larson, New Orleans. The band has 64 members and was first formed in the early 1900 s. Since 1940, the band has worked in cooperation with the Days of 76 committee.

Gorder stated that both the school system and the city have done a great deal to insure the band's continuing existance. 11- if f'T 1 i Ardyth Thoresen, Deadwood Chamber of Commerce secretary, right, June Johnson, left and Anita Thomson, center, are busy preparing for the busiest three days of the year as they check programs and make last minute preparations.

Those days of the Wild West will come vividly back to life when the 50th Annual "Days of '76" celebration begins Aug. 3. The three-day weekend of sleepless nights and roaring excitement relives the days when the Deadwood gold strike was the biggest news in America. Three-mile long parades at 10 a.m. Friday and Saturday begin the frontier frenzy in Deadwood.

The parades are unique in that every entry is historical and authentic. There is no advertising and no crepe paper floats. Spectators instead view a spectacle of unforgettable history -makers: trappers, propsectors and cavalry; stagecoaches, buggies and covered wagons; gunfighters, barroom girls and Indians; miners, ranchers and lumberjacks; horses, horses and more horses. The Days of '76 rodeo is one of the finest in the nation. The RCA approved rodeo features some of the finest cowboys in the country competing for big money in five events-bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, calf roping and Brahma bull riding.

Performances begin at 1:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday Fatal BOSTON (UPI) A faulty approach pattern may have contributed to Tuesday's fatal crash of a Delta DC9 jetliner, which killed 88 persons, a spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board said today.

When you've opened a checking account and have received the first imprinted checks, make certain the account number is correct.

A printing error could delay the crediting of your deposits and cost you money. Evaluate how many checks you normally write a month. If it is lOor fewer, you could save up to $2 per month in service charges by getting a special checking account which costs as little as 15 cents a check at some banks.

Entries were to remain open until 1 p.m., and it was believed that Larry Mahan Dallas top cowboy with $33,746 would also be among those registering.

They sit in sixth and thirteenth spot respectively in the standings for that division. The top bareback rider of the nation, Joe Alexander, Cora, a $18,330 money winner will be among the riders as will Rusty Riddle, Mineral Wells, cowboy who presently holds second spot.

They can be the souls of prudence, save consistently for years, then risk it all with a broker they've known for only two weeks or take a flyer on a stock because of a conversation overheard on the 7:57 commuter train. The checking account is another vulnerable spot. Too few Americans know enough about, or think about, the checking account even though it is one of their most used economic tools. Barbara Henningar, an assistant vice-president with United California Bank (UCB) and operations officer at the UCB main Los Angeles office, has thought a tot about checkbooks. And for good reason.

Banks in the Los Angeles area annually process more than $216 billion worth of checks. Some of them are wrongly used, costing the user substantially in many cases.
