Mr.. Andrew Marsll's new stable is being

In the year 1894 there was quito a vii
lage rapidly built where the town Of Wi
mona now stands: It was appropriately
called THE DEVILS Colony;" but, in
spite OF It's hard name, it was flourish
ing village. Trade of all kinds poured in
from the other side OF the river. Young
Grant was at this time largely interested
in the suffers and traders stores alOnp
the Missouri river; consequently his
papa, the president, proclaimed this and
other points ON the river military reserva-
tions. in order that his young hopeful
might have no opposition. NEP.
