Sheriff l.. s. Fieldby, of Kingsbury
county,. reached Yaukton last night
having in charge II. Porter Holcomb,
an insane man. Mr.. Fieldby returns to-
morrow and will take with him Christian
Casper, q man who has been confined
in the asylum for some time past, but is
now convalescent.
VIM. Tobin, Just returned from the
Black Hills, is quite enthusiastic over
that country, and should he go further
east his descriptions would surely start
many people toward Dakota's gold
fields. But Mr.. Tobin still has q high
opinion of Yankton, and his friends here,
and will probably continue to be a resi-
dent.
Some residents in the neighborhood
of the Woolley house on the corner OF
Pine and Fifth streets, report that burg
lars recently entered the building, but
finding nothing of value small enough
to carry off, they took some bedding
from the second story, and proceeded to
make themselves comfortable on the
floor down stairs.
q. Richey, who came up from Gsyville
last night, reports that he mas struck q
sixty gallon per minute flow at a depth
of $50 feet, through a one half inch
pipe in tho Gayville artesian we'll. This
is considerable water to be forced
through a one.half inch pipe in one min
ute, but nothing is impossible ID this
part of the world.
1t is high time that Yankton's business
men hunt ont n certain person in this
| CITY and treat HIM to some sort of q coat
that will take him from the town. He
| is the man who corresponds for several
outside papers, and he makes no bones
OF sending out the very worst class OF
lies. The latest is noticed in several
outside paper and is to the effect that
the flow of the large artesian well is fall
ing off. Such people are down right
detriment to any town, aud we are glad
to note that very few other places are
thus afflicted.
Never in the history of Yankton's
Oldest inhabitant has a heated term helo
Cd SO long and so strong as that through
which we are now passing. The Their
mometer has reached an average OF 81
degrees above zero in the shade every
day for q week. Men at work in the
sun have been compelled to cease and
get into the shade, and that no case o
snnstroke has been reported, is re
Corded as remarkable. The occupants
of buildings wearing iron roofs are no
able to sleep nights, and the scarcity o
any moving cir at all makes life during
the day most miserable.
In our brief report of yesterday of tn
Sunday night transactions at the Con
gregational church, under the auspices
of the w. @. L. u, the names OF Mrs. A
w, Howard and Mrs. O. e. Hager wer
Inadvertently omitted from the list o
speakers. This was not just, as the TIVE
ladies named delivered addresses 0
more than usual power and effect. W
had been promised a full report of tn
meeting and, relying upon this expecta
ton, did not prepare anything unit
very late in the day, when the hasty an
r imperfect sketch which appeared wa
made up and inserted in place OF th
fuller report which was not Forthcoming
Joseph Moulton was in attending
upon the assembly of perniciously actiy
gentlemen on Saturday last, but OF
T scribe did not see him enter the building
and we presume ne took advantag
(; of the darkness OF the night before all
thus edchered a reporter out OF an &C
y dition to On item. The democra
there assembled on that day decided
issue q call for q convention to be he.
/ in this city on the 18th of next mont
at which time delegates to the dem
cratic territorial convention at Aberdee
9 will be elected. The Yankton count
democracy is strongly in favor of JOB
r. Wilson, for candidate for the Office
O delegate in congress, and the delegat,
b to the territorial convention will
instructed to cast their ballots for h
nomination.
