News of the boats are reassuring. The
Far West and G. K. Peck are on their way
from Bismarck. The Rose Bud will reach

From Lew Bradbury, who has just re-
turned from trip down the Martinsdale
road, We learn that whisky is being traded
to the Indians with utter recklessness. Mr..
Bradbury says he and others saw two half
breeds deliberately shoot an 1ndian-the
three being drunk at the tine-and then
mount their horses and escape. II seems

We learn from farmers in the valley that
considerable Of the oats sown this spring
were SO defectivc-injurcd by early frost,
last fall-that large proportion will moi
grow, and In consequence it is thought the
coming crop will be unusually light
One farmer found it necessary to resow
