! MIR. Murphy, wko has the contract tc
sprinkle Third street, thinks the Press
and Dakotaian has wrongfully criticised
him. lie says it is not a paying job and
that he would not continue it only he
has sstaken the contract and wants to

holders had the sheriff serve execution
papers on the present management of
the boat and to-day the steamer is in
charge of men placed thereon by the

Gamers on Wynn & Buckwalter's corner

A load of timothy and clover, on the
market to-day, was examined by all
interested audience of old timers to
whom this has been a rare product dur
ing their residence in Dakota. Farmers

William Blatt's daily experience sug-
gests the ACCESSIBILITY of estab-
fishing public drinking places.
He has a private hydrant in front
of his store and every time he goes
out to draw a cup of water he is quickly
surrounded by q throng of thirsty
people each of whom 1s suffering for a
drink. He could stand there all day
and deal out water if business would
permit him to obey the promptings of
his Samaritan nature. A few public
drinking hydrants throughout the city
would cause the community to cali
down blessings upon the heads Of the
city fathers.
