We notice that E. A. Sandvig,
near Abercrombie, is advertising to
learn who cut the separator belts of
his machine the Sd inst, Offering a
liberal reward for information. It

Michael and Peter Schreiber,
brothers-in-law of John Reeder of
this city, arrived here from Indiana,
Wednesday and will spend a portion

got Dakota ave., back to its natural
shape, or a good deal the shape it
was in before the street was torn
up by the water works company.
