~ BRIDcE BURNERS Lately our
county has been subjected to heavy ex.
pense, and travellers suffered great incon.
venience and delay on account Of the
habit Of certain lawless persons, when
camping near bridge, Of removing
p'anks and using them for fuel. These
depredations became 80 numerous of late
that Sheriff Griffin determined to pursue
and arrest every bridge thief of whom he
could get information. Last week he
was advised that man named Peter
Nelson had removed some planks from
bridge on the stage road between this city
and CorrectionvilIe. lie followed and
arrested Nelson some distance beyond the
latter place, and took him before ESQUIRE
Freeman, who fined Nelson IS and costs,
amounting to sic, which he pa i'd and pro-
ceeded upon his quincy.
Subsequently the Sheriff arrested in
this city man by the name Of Flavery,
charged with the same crime. He was
taken before Justice Hoskins, who fined
him 50 ard costs. Flavery acknowledged
that he had taken and burned one plank.

1t has been aulhoritatively announced
that the military pos. at Fire Steel is soon
to be abandoned, and runner is current
that the pos, at Sioux Falls will soon share
the same fate. Such action would be !
great outrage upon the people of Dakota,
and if orders to that effect have actually
been issued, we hope such representations
will be made to the commander Of the De.
partment Is will cause them to be coun-
fernandez. Upon tue strength of the
protection afforded by these posts, a large
number Of families have settled along the
Sioux valley in the vicinity of the Falls.
and If the troops are removed these people
will be compelled to abandon their i'm
provements. and seek homes in localities
less exposed to the incursions of preda-
tory bands of savages.
