IT rs rumored that the Dawson malcontents
have engaged the services of Emory A. Storrs,
of Chicago, in the fight which they threaten to
make against the result of tho late election in
Kidder county. It is safe to say that when Mr..
Storrs gets an unobstructed view of the Steele
boom he will proceed to ''catch on without de-
lay. :. -
THE Huron Times feels that it must say that
the Dakota legislature has consulted the public
interest in passing the capital commission bill.
'Whether this place or that secures the capital"
it says, s'the fact nevertheless remains that it
will be put in some more accessible place than
Yankton." What further appears in the Times
goes to show that it finds some measure of con-
ISOLATION in the fact that the Yankton Press and
Dakotalan is whipped as badly as it is, and that
Yankton has fully as much TO mourn over as
Huron has. Thus are the wounds of men and
towns plugged up. A
In short time the deeds of transfer by the
North Pacific to a. Clark, of the lands on which
Billings is built, will be ready for record. The
first lot will represent about $500, 600 worth Of
property. So far, the land has been sold by
virtue of contract only. When the deeds are
executed Mr.. Clark can give necessary title to
all purchases. So many deeds are to be recorded
and the fees are so fat that it is wonder seven
Barkises, in one day, announced themselves as
candidates for the Office of recorder, through
the Billings papers.
We were panied to see the following in the
Pioneer1 Press of March 14th: "Henry Bacon
pleaded guilty in Chicago yesterday to charge
of grand larceny. As this appeared to be his
first offense and his father was ahighly respect
able hardware dealer in Sioux City, Iowa, who
living, and who was vou bed for by Hibbard.
Spencer & Co., judge Williamson took the case
under advisement till the arrival of the boys
father" Our sympathies are extended to ~.
NJ" and family. Evil companions must have
led Henry from the right path.
1T HAS not been great while since certain
citizens of Grand Forks, of average respectable
ity in that community, were taxing around
hunting up legal loopholes whereby they might
escape the consequences of tarring and feather
ing . poor half -demented wretch for an offenee
which ss it subsequently appeared he never was
guilty of. just before that the public was
shocked by the brutal lynching of Thurber. 1t
is therefore very fitting that the following slur
should come from the Grand Forks Herald:
s.Mandan is maintaining its reputation as
worthy suburb Of Bismarck, and even rivals that
place in its boom in the murder market"
