Yesterday was big day at D.
Johnson's auction mart. Mr.. John
son has time and again proven that
he is one of the best auctioneers in
Dakota. In this case it was thought
he would be at least two days dis
posing of the large collection of

present building. utilizing the pres
ent Jail and residence apartments

class of work. and we know for a
fact that he is fast taking orders
for wells the present season, so that
those who would have a we'll put

and at moderate cost, should not de-
lay in making arrangements with
Mr.. Holzhauer. He is also agent
for Phelp wind mill, one of the best
mills of this sort in the market. Ad-
