Dakota NewsIets.
The Grand View Tribune in Douglas
county relates bit Of sharp practice not
often seen even in horse trades. 4 livery
man at Harrison traded teams with Grand
View man and represented that his prop
erty was free of any incumbrance. Find
ing he had the worst OF the trade. IN a few
days he produces a mortgage for $500 on
the team, dated the day before the trade
and filed by the county clerk on the day OF
date, and in this way had the team re-
deemed. 1t is said the Harrison man is
wanted and cannot be found. and that the
county clerk is liable TO be involved i'm
trouble. The case excites a good deal Of
local interest.
The Electric Light company at Fargo
does not want to rebuild the electric light
tower torn down by the storm the past week,
as 1t will cost several thousand dollars, and
there is more profit in placing numerous
lights about the streets. But the citizens
are much opposed to giving it up. as it
lighted the city and country more or less for
radius of miles, and was fine advertise
ment for the place. 1t is generally believed
that il was cyclone that demolished il. but
fortunately did not come low enough to
strike any building. 1t was the worst
storm that has ever visited that locality.
Dakota City. in Hutchinson county, has
had good local paper for two years. but
has been cOntented without any church.
The impression has now got out that the
credit of the place requires a house for
preaching. 1t is found that by raising $500
the Methodist Episcopal Fund society will
add as much more. 1t is expected that
missionaries and the village editor will do
the pulpit work, and very little will supply
the demand. There are but few towns in
Dakota that DO not build church among
the first things. Ii necessary the saloons
will give benefit TO secure a church.
DIR. +. Andres of Mitchell, who has been
i'm practice siXty-one years, visited his

hundred years old. He thinks the climate

The Daily Mitchell Republican appears
as half sheet since it was burned out. 1t
makes the singular statement that it was
three hours after the discovery OF the fire
before the fame burst out on the extension
or inside. and that at any time during that
period good engine could have put out the
fire in fifteen minutes. There is evidently
need Of fire apparatus there.
Col. Plummer, the noted orator, the past
week was taken down the river by boat to
Caledonia. and is infusing new life into the
columns of the Times. After the canvass

take the stump for one of the parties. He
will also help out his old personal friend
Malone in Virginia.
The numerous residents of Faux county
who came from Michigan recently held a
reunion and resolved that Faux, one of the

velOpment as was Michigan twenty years

hegira.
One of the papers wants Gov. Pierce re-
moved, for the alleged reason that he
sought work on a weekly paper in the terri
tory at $50 a week. Half the editors OF the
weeklies would be glad to get that much.
Even Col. Plummer can remember working
for much less reward.

frequent this season the James river is lower
