began abusing the man at the bar. Mr.
Slaughter expostulated in a gentlemanlJ
way, when Fox picked up a heavy stone

naming away from home during o por.
tion of the day, They left at their farm

boys. Before they had been long abb
sent the boys got possession of an old
shot gun, which happened to be loaded,
In handling it the piece was accident
ally discharged, killing one OF the boys
instantly. The boy In whose hands the
gun was held when it went off was sc
frightened over the terrible result Of the
discharge that be ran out oYer the fields
and disappeared and had not been found
up to last night. Mr.. Brown and Els
family will have the sympathies of p1any
friends in Yankton in the time of o griev.
GUS affection.
a There is plenty of chance how for the
city government to do a Died of charity
to the dumb beasts of the city and coun'
try, by erecting suitable water fountains
one Of each end Of the town. There
are two ways of quitting them up. By
one plan, a farmer has to drive up along
side of q low trough, just high enough
to be hit by the wagon pole and keeping
the tenn hardly within reaching dis
lance of the water. Then he must clint
OFT and uncheck his horses, wading II
muddy pond about the trough, which
prevents ladies from watering theil
horses there. Where the other plan il
adopted, a neat cast iron fountain &C
cessible from all sides pours its waite
into a broad circular iron basin, higl
enough to accommodate all horses with
out unchecking, and above the rang,
