Prominent among the many annoy
ances with which the average editor has
to contend, is the typographical errors
made by the compositor, and overlooked
in the proof. The change Of single
letter in word frequently destroys the
sense, and renders the entire sentence
ridiculous in the extreme. We submit
an example coming under our notice
where substitution Of the letter for the
letter in the word oats led to the
publication in an eastern journal Of the
following ridiculous item "The finest
crop Of cats to be found in this locality
is being raised by Mr.. Jones. They are
nearly four feet high, and are already
beginning to ripen, and promise ar
abundant yield. They will doubtless
be among the first offered in this mar
ket."

Freak Of a Farmer.

Ben Leighman, a semi-sensible settler
located near Fairburn, whose menta
status is held to be below the average
grade of men who are permitted tC
direct their own affairs, on Monday
fired three shots from rifle at Leonard
Eckert, sheep herder in the employ ot
q. Mill. Eckert was, at the time of the
shooting, engaged in holding his herd
off the lands of Leighman, in accordance
with instruction from his employer
The herder beat a hasty retreat, escap
ing without injury. Leighman was ar
rested and tried before Justice Barnes
who bound him over, and in default OF
bonds, will languish in the county
bastile until court convenes in this
place In October.

late Fort Sully special to the Sioux

Sioux Indians are now camped at Chey-

treat with the Sioux commissioners. A
visit among them to-day reveals the fact
that they are generally opposed to sign.

by many of the agency employees thai
their consent can be gained upon the
arrival of the commissioners. Major
Mclaughlin has telegraphed to Chey
enne agency for all the Standing Rock
Sioux to be sent home Immediately, as
the commission was waiting for them.

The chances for the extension of the
B. & NJ. Railroad west from Alliance
Neb,, this year, would seem to be less
fiattering as the days go by. There is
every reason to believe that it was the
intention Of this company to extend the
road, but the engineers strike, and the
state railroad commission, has had g
tendency to discourage them, and delay
the prosecution of their plans. From
the most reliable sources obtainable, we
ere le to the conclusion, that nothing
definite with reference to the extension
referred to, has yet been passed upon
and that until specific action is taken
nothing beyond conjectures can b,
reasonably INDUCED. Should the grea
strike be terminated at an early day, il
would not be at all surprising if building
operations should imm ediately follow

pie how we can sell large Plate
glass Wall Mirrors, in hand
some polished wood frames,
for from SO cents to So. The
glass alone is worth more than
the price.
1t happens in this wise
The glass is cur from rem

or partly damaged in making.
While these pieces are of little

The frames are of hard

about IL O'Clock on the previous night at
the corner of Twentieth and II streets

trainers at Agricultural Park. and there
has been ill-feeling between them for some
days.
Brown says that the trouble is jealousy
over their relations with Mrs. Nancy
Hewitt and Miss Belle Hewitt, who reside
with the mother of the latter on H street
between Twentieth and Twenty first. He
stated that during the evening he was in 6
saloon in company with the women when
Hawkins came in and called him vile
names. Subsequently he waited for Haw-
kins at the corner of Twentieth and H
where the quarrel was renewed ard the
latter was stabbed.
a Mr.. Clark, who witnessed the affray
says that Brown was waiting for Hawkins
knowing that he would return to the Park
that way, and when he came along com.
menced the quarrel. Before many words
had passed Brown drew q large pocket

Miss Belle Hewitt, the handsome young
lady whose name is unfortunately mixed
up with the affair, says that she was
not in the company of either of the men
on the night in question; that she is not in
any way connected with either and knows
that there can be no jealousy between them
on her account. Early in the evening she
came down town expecting to meet her
mother and return with her about 8
O'Clock. Her mother did not arrive, and
she went around to the place on Sixth
