road to Deadwood and tons of it awaiting
transportation and they will most likely come
here if they transport much Deadwood

DR.. Taylor, Lisbon physician, who has
been about Fargo of late went down to Lis
bon Tuesday to ferret out and scalp CORE
spondent of the Argus at that point who has
imputed much crookedness to him, in the
way of victimizing hotel people, washer
women and brother physician in Fargo,
with various and sundry crooked transact
ions. He is said to have employed parties
to swear him through claim, and before
signing the usual mortgage for the money
borrowed, he made deed of the land to a
Fargo woman on whom he was mashed. He
has claimed to have q wife and family in the
east, but in two years no signs of their exis-
tence have been furnished this section. On
the whole, as set forth by the correspondent,
he is not man who will be likely to secure
testimonials in this section.
The officers of the United States court
claim that statements recently published in
some Minneapolis paper, to the effect that
of the parties brought before the court, only
one, the postmaster at Glendale, has re-
ceived a sentence of any serious character,
and he confessed that the court and its at
tachments have cost the government $50,
600 and that inefficiency or the personal
schemes of the attorney general, have been
the main features presented They claim
that there have been twenty convictions, and
that while the sentences have been light,
there has been good work done in deterring
parties from trespassing upon government
property They claim that $50, 900 would be
ample to cover all the expenditures that
should be referred to in this connection.
Gen. Campbell may have had some personal
schemes in view, but it is claimed that they
have not been costly to the government.
The Lisbon Clipper relates for the encour-
agement of other young ladies the case of a
couple of the charming young ladies now OF
Fargo 1t says: Five years ago the Misses
Wessie and Corrie Phelps we're bright, active
and pretty young school girls at their home
in Markesan, Wisconsin. Their father died,
and when his estate was settled, the girls had
$500 for their share of the property. Pock-
citing this $500 they babe adieu to kind
friends and old surroundings, and within a
few days found themselves in Fargo.
Property was cheap in Fargo
at that time. From their small store
of wealth they saved enough money
to make the first payment on lot, erect
ed small building, and engaged in dress
making and the sale of millinery goods.
They had all the work they could do and
obtained good prices for it. With their saw
ings they paid their debts. Soon afterward
they sold their establishment at profit TO
themselves of about 81, 500. When the
property was at its best and the boom was
raging, the girls closed out their holdings,
and pocketed the neat little sum of some
thing like $4,000. This money they used
in buying other property, and in their traffic
in this way they have about doubled their
capital, so that each can boast of being worth
to-day in the neighborhood of 100000 Last
spring they gave mp their positions in Fargo,
and took up claims near Keystone, Day
county. They erected cosy residences for
themselves, employed men to do their break
ing, and are now advertising to prove up.
