AT an early hour this morning there
was a report current on our streets that
Miss Josie Todd, one of Yapkton's lead
ing young ladies, had died suddenly at
the family home in this city. The re-
port fairly stopped the regular days
business, and bscame the discussion Of

the report, endeavored to ferret out the
particulars and the investigation ended

true. and had no foundation. Miss
Todd, whose general health Is not of the

slight indisposition, which induced her
to leave the breakfast table and lie down

Since the daily Press and Dakotaisn
began its career the employees of this
establishment have been paid and have
disbursed among the merchants and
other business men of Yankton, in round

that the Press and Dakotaian establish

from such a policy. Labor which be
longs exclusively at home should always
command encouragement.
An African named VIM. Bundy has
been the cause of considerable trouble
!. to q number of our colored citizens
during the last few days. It seems that
Bundy came to this city some time ago
i with his pockets comfortably filled will
filthy lucre and his soul just loaded witt
piety, according to his own story, ant
. that, being unable to find work, h
worked himself into the good will OF thu
aforementioned colored people. By re
presenting that he had money coming
he borrowed quite on amount around
the city, and gave his promise for thu
speedy and safe return of the loans. But
he failed to pay up, and after having
been seen under the influence of severa
schooners he aroused the suspicious o
his creditors, and they began an investi
9 cation which resulted in the discover.
of the fact that Bunay had skipped b,
9 the light of the DON leaving those t.
whom he was indebted in the lurch. Th
n amount of his borrowings was not yer
h extensive, but the lenders do not like t
be denominated suckers, therefore th
said Bundy is looked upon with cor
siderable hostility.
