Warrenton Clipper: A few days
since, while the little girl of Mr..
G. W. Roberts, residing in town,
was drawing a bucket of
water, rock on which she
was standing at the margin
of the we'll caved in and
she was precipitated to the bottom
thirty fee. below. The water in
the we'll was about ten feet deep
but on rising to the top, after sink.
ing the first time, she caught the
rope which was in the we'll, and
saved herself from drowning un-
til help arrived. Her father hap
pened to be in the yard at the
time, and hearing the cries of his
child heroically leaped into the
well and rescued her from her per
llous situation. With the exception
of slight bruises, neither father or
child sustained any injuries from
the accident and rescue.

way to the fell destroyer. After all Other

was called in the District court. 1t is a
habeas corpus action to obtain the GUS
tody of four children, the fruits of her
marriage with Polly, from whom she

married Mclean. Polly lives at Flores

pleaded to the jurisdiction of this court.
This plea was Overruled, and the petit

Upon each visit to San Pedro springs
we are the more impressed with the EN-
terprise, energy and good taste shown by
its lessee and manager, Colonel Fred
Kerbel, than whom few men have done,
even as much, toward the comfort,
pleasure and entertainment of the In
habitants of San Antonio and its visitors
as is seen by the many improvements
accomplished by him since last season.
Also, we must mention the splendid
work done by our enterprising citizen,
Colonel Belknap and his coadjutors, in
furnishing our citizens and visitors with
the facilities Of visiting frequently this
beautiful resort.

Commissioner Braden

AT meeting of the County Commits
sioners this morning the question of the
sewer from the Jail sinks to the San
Pedro was again called up. Mr.. Braden,
under whose instructions the sewer was
laid, was tried in the Recorders court
for defiling the waters of the San Pedro,
and the case referred back to the County
Commissioners, who had before notified
the city that they had not ordered its
construction. Mr.. Braden felt hurt and
insulted at the action of the Commits
sioners, and asked to be excused, saying
1t was probably the last time he would
sit as Commissioner. He started to leave
but Judge Mason moved that an appro-
priation be made to reimburse Mr.. Bra
den for the fee paid his counsel to defend
him before the recorder. This motion
was rejected, only Judge Mason voting
Tor 1t. MIR. Braden then quit the room.
The accounts for the sewer pipe and
work at the Jail were discussed and re-
Jected, but this action was reconsidered
and they were laid over until next
meeting.

or the Lyle Coal Company, issued by the MAN.
aqement April 10, 1884.
The Lyle coal mine, situated % miles
south Of San Antonio, on the Interna-
tional and Great Northern railroad, is
now fully opened, with a capacity to
put out any quantity OF coal that may
be demanded. The increasing demand
In this CITY secures the success of the
company beyond peradventure. From
six tons per day, for the month Of Feb
ruary, the demand went right up to IL
tons per day, for the month Of March,
and with present orders will reach 20
tons per pay for the month of April, and
30 tons for the month of May. This as
sures a dividend on the capital stock Of
above 10 per cent. which will be declared
on the first Monday In August next.
The drift or road running down into
the mine is XXI feet, securely timbered,
and extends from the surface to the bot
tom OF the coal, a distance OF 200 yards,
with fall of four inches to the yard.
This drift Is continued through the coal
In northern direction for 100 feet, with
entries leading to rooms on either side,
now sufficiently opened up for very
large output of coal.
The coal field, from six to eight feet In
depth, Is covered by 60 feet of earth. and
extends for miles, in n southwesterly
direction, with width of over a mile,
and Is, In fact, absolutely inexhaustible.
The coal Is now taken from the mine by
means of 10 horse power engine, and
thrown over q screen into the cars of the
company, and hauled over the tramway
600 yards to the spur on the railroad
track and dumped on the railroad cars
for transportation. The railroad COM
pany have promised to extend this spur
to the drift, which will greatly lessen the
cost of loading, and dispense with sew
eral outside hands.
Everything about the mine is in.
splendid working order, and the man
agement Is complete.
The public are cordially invited to go
out and inspect the works.
The capital stock of the company is
$4,000. and the stock is placed upon the
market ut S25 per share.
The company have a lease on the mine
for 10 years from January /, 1884, at 10
cents per ton royalty, with preference to
them over any other party of contin-
uance of the lease.
This Is San Antonio enterprise. Sup
plies are furnished from this city.

The action of the supreme court rela.
tive to the sittings of that body. was
erroneously reported by the Yankton
Press and is enormously understood
throughout the territory. 1t was not de.
cided, as has been given out, to hold two
terms at Yankron and one at Bismarck
annually.-Dead,oood Times.
The Yankton Press explained at the
time the exact situation, which was that
the supreme court made no ruling in the
case. but simply adjourned to meet in
Bismarck in February. Also. that the
organic act prescribed that one term
annually should be held at the capital
and the territorial statutes provided that
two terms annually should be held at
Yankton. Under previous decision Of
majority Of the supreme court it can
do no less than hold one term each year
at Bismarck.

Bismarck is in trouble. It snubbed
John r. Wilson, democratic candidate
for congress, when he visited that city
to fire the democratic heart. It now ap.
pears to Bismarck that Cleveland is
elected and that Mr.. Wilson will control
considerable Dakota patronage. Hence
the sorrow of Bismarck over its act of
discourtesy. Its grief il. however, of q
selfish nature. 1t deliberately sat down
upon MIR. Wilson, who, thougha a demo.
crat. is a polished gentleman and well
worthy of good treatment for his own
sake, and but for the change in the
political aspect Bismsrck would have nc
