A recent change hRs taken place il
the postal clerkship on the mail rout
between Yankton and Sioux City. Geo
S. Loveioy who succeeded Joe Dawson
has in his turn been succeeded by r. E
Rising, formerly editor of the Ashton
ID. T., Herald. Mr.. Loveioy is nov
running on the Milwaukee main line.
Yesterday Fred Baker was arrested
on compliant OF Dick Whidden charged
with assault with intent to kill. This
is the second chapter of the narrative
begun last Saturday night when Baker
carved Whidden with a knife. Baker
gave bonds in the sum of $500 to appear
The trial was set for this morning but
Tor some reason was postponed.
Several of the boy residents of the
neighborhood of the scandinavian
church, on Capitol street, have been
amusing themselves of late by breaking
windows, and plastering the door knobs
with pitch. And if they do not desist
there is liable to be trouble. The
parents of boys in that neighbor-
hood are warned to keep the young men
at home.
United States Marshal Maratta and
Deputy Young, who visited Sioux Falls
yesterday on p~enitentiary business,
found the government wing of the "pen"
IN GOOD condition and one prisoner,
q colored man confined therein.
The prisoner is the first government
consignment and those in confinement
at Detroit will be moved to Sioux Falls
in the near future.
Capt. Hamiester received marching
orders for company Eto.dsy. The COM

bic parties who wish to visit the we'll,
but the fact that mischieYious boys,
who go there make q point of dis
turbing the valves by turning the
wheels has made it necessary to house
mp the well. Only recently Superlnten-
dent Campbell went to the we'll and
found all the valves closed aud the
water pounding away in the pipe.
Many such performances as this might
seriously damage the we'll.
L. j.. Ferris, esq, formerly of the
Yenkton firm of Brennan & Ferris,
butchers, now sheriff of Potter county,
reached Yankton Wednesday evening
with an insane patient named Fetter,
whom he placed in the insane hospital.
Mr.. Ferris left Potter county three
years ago and has witnessed its growth
from nothing to a population of 4,0CO
people. He is still satisfied
with that section. It is one
of the best portions of Dakota for wheat,
and although this season has been dry
and unpropitious, the crop oil wheat
turned out very fairly. The Northwest
ern railway from Redfeld via Faulkton
will reach Gettysburg by the close of
the year.
DR.. Tulkopp who was called to attend
the three women who were reported as
attacked by unknown parties in Nebras-
ka yesterday, gives a very different
version of the injury to the parties than
that published. We might remark, how
ever, that our informant was q reliable
man, and he had the story from Rev.
Stubbins, of Aten, Nebraska, and that
our version was not manufactured. DIR.
Turkopp say that there Were four
women instead of three, and that they
were not attacked by Indians or any one
else. The team which they were
driving took fright and ran away and
the ome were thrown from the wagon
two of them being seriously but not
dangerously injured. How the account
published in these columns could have
originated is a mystery. We are
rejoiced to note that nothing sc serious
as the first report occurred.
The Yankton county fair of this year
promises to eclipse, not in magnitude
but in tone, the territorial fair at
Huron. "A large number of farmers and
business men have taken hold in earnest
and the hearty cooperation of every
man, and child in the county is
desired. The farmers especially are
asked to donate everything possible IN
the way of farm products, and as Yank-
ton county is wey ahead of any other in
this section in the matter of crops the
grain department should especially be
well filed. The fruit display should be
good also, as the year has been fairly
favorable to fruit culture. The ladies
are asked to begin at once getting ready
fancy work, %iellles and preserves, and
culinary products with which to fill the
ladies department. Works of art are
also needed. The live stock men of this
section are requested to take an interest
