Additional Local.

The roundup camped at Sentinel Butte
last night, having worked Andrews
creek yesterday. The OK outfit, which
started the roundup, cut out about 600
beeyes Tuesday and will probably ship
to-day from Dickinson. All the river
outfits have been gathering beeves and
the most Of them will ship soon. The
roundup will work up the river probably
disbanding at the Neimmela ranch. The
quality of the beef is scarcely as good as
was expected.
Clay Leighton, one of the men who
stole some horses from the Morton farm
near South Heart, two years ago. and
after being arrested, escaped from the
Dickinson jail, was rearIested at Buffalo
Gap recently. Being brought back to
Mandan, he was there sentenced to FIVE
years and eight months in the Bismarck
penitintiory, where he is now .'doing
time" for the Territory. His partner
Scott, who escaped from Dickinson at the
same time, has not since been heard
from. 5.t: II 5S3

will be sold cheaper than any wagons

Graham county to the amount OF

Harwi's name appears on that petition

More towns die for the want of
confidence on the part Of business men
and the lack Ofpublic spirit than from
the rivalry Of neighboring towns or
adverse surroundings. When a man
in search Of home or business, goes
to a town and finds everything brim
full of hope and everybody earnestly
at work to build up a town, he soon
becomes induced with some interest
When. however he goes to a town, and
everyone expresses doubt and apprshea
sion i'll the future prosperity Of the
place moping about imaginary evils
that are likely to befall the city, he
naturally feels that it is no placea for
him, apd at once shakes the dirt from
his feet, while he pulls with all pos
sible speed for some other town.
Consequently, try and make live en-
terprising progressive city out Of tho

we admit that We are poor in this

The public endorsement of Captain
Justus acts while in tie Legislature, by
the Hon. +. j Turner, is rcccomcnd-
cd viii worthy Of consideration 9y

Mr. Turner stated that the assertions
regarding J,:stus. faithful performance
of his duty as servant Of the people,
were true and correct. This high en-
dorsement should set aside any state
ments that may b" made by the sly

REPUBLICAN TOWNSHIP TICKETS
Western cyclone. [volume] (Nicodemus, Kan.) 1886-1887, 1886-10-14
Hill City ReVeille-

At that meeting there were thirty
one or two delegates who, thank heaven.
had nerve and back bone enough To-
assert their right in the face Of all OPP
position, while upon the other hand the
combined efforts of Graves Harwi and
company could only secure thirty four
delegates and two Of those were Halwi
himself and Jas. Gordon. both candida
ties for office.
We claim that the delegates who
withdrew from that convention are not
"bolters," but stand squarely upon the
republican platform, both state and
national. The republican parry is q
grand and glorious old party of moral
and progressive ideas, and is ever ready
to foster and encourage every and all
measures that have a tendency to
elevate, ennoble and enlighten the
people; while upon the other hand it
discourages AMI discOuntenanceN all
manner Of fraud and corruption in
politics, whether committed by it's own
members or those Of some other political
organization With this understanding
Of true republicanism, were those
delegates who. seeing with their own
eyes and fully realizing the dishonor-
able and disreputable acts Of the MIL
brook faction in that convention,
"bolters" for quietly withdrawing with
a view perfecting an organization of
purer and nobler sentiments? Money
er! Their bravery alone in asserting
their manhood against suchfearful odds
would mark them down as republicans,
though devoid Of every other redeem
ing principel.
There is one point which We wish to
touch upon again before closing this
article, and that is with regard to the
cOntesting delegation from Hill City
township. Every person named by
Graves HarNi and company as con
testing delegate stands ready to make
affidavit that the whole assertion is a
perfect fabrication without truth or
foundation. The scheme is As thin as
gauze and so utterly weak and fiimsy
that The combined efforts of Graves
Harwi and company are constantly en-
ployed in an attempt to prop the thing
up to keep it from falling.
The old saying in Kansas that "a re-
publican nomination is equivalent to
an election" has become almost pro-
verbal, and the evil that been wrought
on account of tits wholly inestimab e.
Corrupt wire-pullers and scheming
politicians, with the use of.money and
empty promises, work upon the pri,
