Flowing in this section last week
"a woman and girl frozen to death in
Wisconsin over two weeks ago-snow
Is inches deep in Michigan, lots of it
in Ohio, Indiana, the Eastern States,
&c. How is this for comparison
1t strikes us that it would be ap-
propriate to change the symbol of in
dustry from a beehive to coyote den.
These yelping little cusses are about
the busiest things that llve-steal
chickens all night and eat on them all
day.
Numerous cases Of petty thieving
are reported at Pierre, and seems to be
OH the increase as laborers are thrown
out Of employment because of the slack
in building improvements. If SO many
had not blown in their wages in dissl-
patton they might have saved up
enough to have lived on during the
winter
On Tuesday, last, Roscoe Stinson,
Esq, received large and fine burglar
and fire proof safe from the celebrated
Mosler Safe & Lock Co, Cincinnati, o.
1t was made and finished inside to
order, and is very convenient for his
business. Mr.. Stinson has lately
wainscoted the inside of his office, ad-
ded new secretary, built platform
in front, &c, and is now nicely fixed
up.
C. y. and C. L. Lukes, of the Bank
of Blunt, at Blunt, narrowly escaped
being asphyxiated on Friday night of
last week, from coal gas. A dog which
was allowed in the room was sickened
and made fuss which aroused Currie
n, who got up to let it out, but fell to
the floor before reaching the door.
This aroused his brother who managed
to get the door open and admit some
fresh air. But for the dog there is no
doubt but both would have died before
morning. As We understand it, the
partially burned hard coal is the kind
from which this deadly gas emanates,
and too much care cannot be taken in
guarding against its escape into sleep
ing rooms at night.
