Local Matters.
volume I. Nhae.

This week the COURIER enters vol
ume nine, feeling proud Of its health
and age. Prior to it's birth but two
papers claimed Dakota as their home,
while to-day over fifty newspapers
are published within the Territorial
boundaries. Eight years Of Dakota
journalism makes a fellow feel old,
when he compares the present with
the past. During the past eight
G the COURIER has noted the
first railroad building in Dakota.
Deadwood, Bismarck, Fargo Elan
dreau, and many other prosperous
towns have sprung up since Its first
issue. The COURIER and several
other aged Dakota journals have
e a more rapid and substantial
internal improvement OF territory
including the vast strides OF educa
ton intelligence and virtue, than
any other American journals. While
rejoicing in the health and age ofthe
COURIER we do not wish our friends
to forget that it takes money to buy
paper and set type. A man always
works better when he can listen tl
the jingle of silver.

RICHARD STERBINs the Waterman
in the Jail, was awakened Thursday
night about 10 O'Clock by the priso-
ner, Geo. FiCklin who was confined
in the cage, crying that he vas burn
ing up. Dick sleeps in the room
adjoining the cell, and by the time
he had got the cell door open he
was almost sufocated. He called
to the prisoner to throw the contents
of a sprinkler on the bunk, which by
that time was blazing to the ceiling,
and before he could get the cage
door open, he was almost strangled.
He grasped the prisoner by the col
lar, told him to take the water pail,
and started for tho pump, as soor.
| as he reached the door fired his re-
| volver and cried fire. He had made
Two or three trips to the pump il
this manner by the time the crowu
had gathered, and the danger of fir,
was over. There were several mel
on horse back riding around tow
during the excitement, and il is sup
posed they were expecting to al,
the prisoner to escape. Fickln
gave the sheriff warning al the tins
he tried to file himself out, that h,
would escape before court convened
and he has certainly been tryins
hard enough. Court sets this weeh
and if ne escapes he will have to d
it pretty soon.

THAT Cemetery Deed.

Ed. CouRlER:--Having heard so
much talk about the form Of the
deed, to be adopted by the Elk
Point Cemetery Association for its
use in conveying title to property in
its cemetery, | had supposed that
no pains would be spared in pro-
curing for the association such a
form as would be perfect in its gram
NAUTICAL and legal construction.
Before me now lies that celebrated
blank in all its boosted purity and
perfection. | know not its author,
but whoever he may be is the au-
thor of a baakia-deed; yea even more
a blank in grammatical sense, a blank
in legal sense; if not in common sense.
Let Us look for a moment at its
grammatical construction. Here it
is in all its perfectness:
Know all Men by these Presents that
