sented to the grand jury for indict-
ment, by the District Attorney.
Mr.. Fox may well laugh. He has
undoubtedly the best of the game so
far. Standing at his official desk, in
elegant raiment purchased during his
recent expensive trip to the East, he
can we'll afford, perhaps, to trample
under foot the very laws framed to
hold dishonest officials in check. But
he will not always be able to set him
self above the law Of the land. There
may be an honest judge around some
day who will, fguratively speaking
seize this insolent official by the
throat and compel him to do his sworn
duty.

Failure of Bramble, Miner u Go.

Sioux City journal: Interested
parties in this city were wired from
Yankton that Bramble, Miner & Co.,
wholesale groccrs of that city, had
turned over their property to their
heaviest creditors. These are believed
to be principally Chicago grocers,
chief among whom is the firm Of
Franklin McVeigh & Co. In this
city f. G. Palmer g. Co. have an ac,
count against the firm of some $500
or $500, and Clowell & Martin about
as much. The firm has been regard
ed as solid. Besides their wholesale
and retail grocery, Brambie, Miner &
Co. operated, and it was understood,
owned, large Touring mill at Yank-
ton, conducted freighting line he
tween Pierre and Deadwood, and
were interested in railroad contract
on the Oregon Short Line, in Wy
oming, though possibly some Of these
outside interests had been closed out
recently. Not long ago the firm
turned over It's business to an en-
ploye, but was able to 60 on in its own
name soou after, paying liabilities III
full Nothing is yet known as to the
assets and liabilities of the present
failure. The hope is based on the
past record of the firm that it will be
able to resume business.
