ness of q ticket seller at Chicago. They are
fresh from the old country and cannot talk
English, but carried card on which was
plainly written, ''Mr. Carl Heger, ESQ.,, Com
Stock P. O., Hill City, Trall Co., Dakota" At
Chicago somehow they blundered into ticket
office of the c., B. & G. railroad, where, on
showing their card, they were sold tickets for
Hill City, IN the Black Hills. When they
discovered the mistake, their money was
nearly gomez and on arriving here they came
without their baggage, which had been held
for charges on overweight. They have rela-
tives residing at or near Hill City, on the Far
go & Grand Forks branch, and the card they
carried was intended to guide them to that
place. The Chicago, Burlington & Qunincy
agent probably had no knowledge of any 9TH
