Tom Melally had ball sent fooling

in @ notorious place in East Grand

II seems that the Rev. Frey visiting in
Ohio whom the sheriff at Valley City has
sought to bring to Dakota, is not the one
who played hob and broke most of tbs Ga-
cred crockery and fled tike thief in the
night toward the setting sun. The Ohio
party has all the virtues of the standard
Ohio man, so far as known.

lady, who had been an invalid for
eight years, a martyr to dyspepsia, some
time since came to Darlington in Foster
county, and after breathing the famed,
inspiring ozone of Dakota six weeks, has

medicine man can manage to bottle up

The farmers in the northern border
| counties insist that difference of twenty
three or twenty four cents in the price
they are offered for wheat when it is al
