We have at present; in our office, a
sample of grass that demonstrates the
fact that timothy can be grown here to
great advantage. A man from Penn
%sylvania moved mere last year aid loca-
ted south Of town: He had some of
his goods; picked in timothy hay: He
unpacked his goods b3 the side Of his
house and some Of the Seed from the
hay fell on the ground. this spring
there are stalks of timothy there over
three feet high; with good heads four
and five inches long: Now if this seed,
which was accidentally dropped on
prairie sod; without. any cultivation
whatever, will meet with such results,
it is apparent that if it were sown on
cultivated ground it would be one of
the most successful crops that a farmer
could put id. There is no doubt but
that all IF the domestic grasses will
meet with the samei if not greater,
success here as it does Oh the soil of
any of the eastern states: although
this country IS cco e;mtiipt,aarraatiie new, 1t
has proved that it will grow Anything
that any county does.-Wessington

which the men arrested claimed they
had brought from the neighborhood Of
the Black Hills and purchased them
from the Indians. it has been reported

They are not very talkative but say
they crossed the Missouri at Standing
Rock, and that they had purchased the
horses from Indians. One of the horses
bears the ~; S." brand. These are the
two men that did the shooting on the

that they had posted d sentinel in town
to be on the watch. for any movement
indicating that they were suspected.
These are the parties who, came to Fox
