The Warner sun. (Warner, Brown Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1885-1???, 1886-08-20

Ior, and two little boys, were.
1t is rumored that Geo.W. Peck, of
Peck's Sun, is coming to this fair land
of Dakota, where prairie chickens are
knee deep, and where "pOt"hunters are
so numerous that the room they take up
is worth a great deal more than their
company, and will, if there is any such

slaughter house out of the county that
claims the largest number of chickens
to the square yard. Some kind hearted
nan ought to send Peck a tabular state.

The invitation was accepted and the
couple appeared at the ball After

partner sitting alone in one corner of
the room. Now was his chance. So he
walked up to where the lady was sitting
and sat down beside her. All well so

a club in one hand and a double barrel

these bloody raids on this harmless bird
and some neighhor's wondering dog,
telling their experiences. But then
the last man to tell his experience Is
