Look TO Your STRAW RIcKs.-An acci-
dent occurred, on the farm Of Mr.. William
Watson, near Fallston, on Sunday, which
furnishes warning to farmers to look after
the straw ricks in their barnyards, before the
March winds come. The top ofMr. Watson's
large straw rick was covered to depth of
three feet with hard-frozen snow and ice, and
the lower part having been eaten away by
stock, it became top-heavy. On Sunday it
fell with crash, burying flock of sheep
beneath the straw and ice. A number of
them made their escape, but others were
buried out of sight. Mr.. Watson being i'll,
the neighbors were sent for, but it required
several holrs hard work by halfa dozen men
with axes and forks before the mass could be
removed and the sheep released. Only one
was found dead, n rail having fallen on it,
The affair was of an exciting nature.

stated that the laborers required can be oh.

ton to allow the prosecution of the work,
but several contractors have put up quarters
to accommodate their men at different points.

One Of the directors said that he does not
believe the road can be built in one year, and
if it is done in two years lie will be satisfied.
The money to build it is to come from coun-
try people, and considerable amount re-
mains to be raised as the work progresses
Some persons who are not able to take shares
of the stock have loaned carts and horses,

believed, would insure the ultimate success

Transportation Company Needed.

The LEADER would suggest that our
citizens at once take the necessary
steps for the formation Of q Jtranspor.
tation company for the shipment of
freight from Cheyenne to Deadwood
and other prominent points in the
Black Hills. 1t cannot be denied, and
might just as well be admitted, that
the small station Of Sidney, just to the
east Of us, has during the past ten
months been the shipping point for the
lions share of goods to the gold min
ing region north Of Cheyenne. WHY
is this Simply because Cheyenne has
had no regularly organized transporta-
tion company guaranteeing a uniformi-
ty Of rates on freight from this city to
Deadwood and adjacent points. Ship,
pers from Chicago and other large
cities of the east have been "all Mt
sea " owing to the difficulty experienced
in a~scertaining freight rates on their
goods from Cheyenne ~northward. The
railroad companies to the east of us
were unable to give them the desired
Information upon this subject. Hence,
while they were able to make positive
terms with companies whose roads cen
ter ut Omaha and other points along
the Missouri, and with the Union Pa
cihc, they were unable to form the re-
hottest idea of the extent of the
