There has been considerable wrang.
ling over the census returns in some
parts of the territory. A few of oul
Dakota cities loom upso Unexpectedly
well as to awaken suspicion that all is
not right. When the returns show a
city to have population to equal the
most extravagant figures claimed by
the boomers. they may we'll challenge
thoughtful scrutiny. Perhaps Grand
Forks and Mandan each has the pop.
ulation claimed, but it looks to US as
if the enumerator had carried too many
in adding the left hand column of
figures.

An Oyster whips q Duck,

Corpus Christi Texas) Caller.
A rough and tumble combat between
a wild duck and an oyster occurred here
the other day. The duck was large
and full-grown one that had recently
come from the north to enjoy our winter
climate. It was the diving species,
which inhabit the bays till the spring,
when they return North. When the oy-
ster feeds it opens its shell wide till the
full oyster is plainly visible. A sight of
such morsel was too much for the duck.
He made a headlong plunge. inserting
his bill between the oysters open shell.
Like a fash, and with the power of a
wise, the shell closed on the ducks beak.
Them came the struggle for life. The
oyster, which was quite large one, was
dragged from its bed, with three smaller
ones clinging to it. the cluster being heavy
enough to keep the ducks head under
water. In this way the duck drowned.
Its buoyancv was sufficient to float with
the oysters, and thus drifted near the
dock, where it was captured. When
taken out of the water the animal heat
had not left the duck. The oyster still
chung to the ducks beak.
