OUR CHAMBERLAIN LETTER.
Editor GRAPHIC:

Editor GRAPHIC:
Another week has rolled away and
again | will endeaver to post you up
in the happenings of the burg. A
large party of Chamberlain people
and some from the east left for the
west yesterday morning. Among
them was D. w. Spa!ding, j. r..
Stearn and John King. Nc one
to know where they have gone
or what for, but as Dave took his old
rifle and favorite pony we can guess
hat he has gone for deer They
crossed their outfit over on the ice,
the first time that it has been done
this winter, not ven a foot passenger
to cross before, and now the
internal indians will become a nui-
sance to us for another few months
on account of the river being closed.
would like to express my ideas
about the place the city fathers of
Chamberlain have selected for hold
ing the county offices in for the next
two years; but language can't express
my feelings on the subjest. 1t is a
shame and al outrage on the county
for the officers to be compelled to
keep the records Of the county in the
fire box that is being prepared for
them. 1t is a dangerous place for
the records to be put in as the build
ing is connected with other buildings
and are all frame and if a fire should
start nothing would save them.
What the town of Chamberlain ought
to do is to provide some suitable
place separate from all other build
ings with some kind of a vault for
the records as the county has not sc
much as a tin box to keep them in.
No safe or any place have they got
nor never have had to keep them in
only what the officers themselves
have furnished. The county com
missioners ought to think twice of
this subject before they allow the
records to be taken into the building
that is now provided for them for
the next two years, and some of the
officers elected arc already kicking
about the place and they are Of the
opinion that the commissioners will
not allow them to take the records
there, and the tax payers of this
county have a right to demand a bet
tar place OF kick. A tax payer and
farmer from the southern part of the
county did himself proud on this sub
iect last week through the columns of
the Register, but | am afraid that the
farmer lives IN Chamberlain. Just
the same he is a brick and ought to
have a chrome for that letter and if
l knew him he should have one.
l see that the editor of the GRAPH.
&c ome down here pretty often and
he says that he comes to skate $50 he
tells the boys; but | don't think that
thatis the only attraction in Cham
bcrlain for Tlnan. The White Lake
girls have given him the shake and
now he comes down here to skate.
Than you're bad, but we all love you
here just the same.
There IS a rumor here tonight that
one more Of our boys has gone and
done it. They say that w. f. X.
Parker of the Register has entered
the state of matrimony, if that is the
case some of our girls will weep for
they all loved Walter.
There has been quite a case tried
before J. A Stroube as referee fol
the past week. w. II. Minar built 6
store for r. IL. Heudershott and wher
completed was to receive his pay.
Minar completed the building accord
ing to contract and IIendershott ac
cepted the building, but did not fulfil
his part Of the contract so it seems
Minar brought suit IN the last term
of the district court and the judge
referred it to J.. A. Stroube as referee
to take the testimony and report t.
him. If Kimball is in need of an,
professional swearers the defender
in the above suit can furnish them TO
YOU on short notice.
The next time that you are dow
this way, Tinan, call around and Sc
us.
HENRY.
