& A good sized rain storm passed over
this city Saturday afternoon. For few
minutes people were discussing the adj
visibility Of pre-empting a location in

Farmers, land-seekers, and others can

cord of the opinions and decisions of the

Only about twenty five dog licenses
have as yet been issued. Judging from
the appearance Of Main street at almost
any hour of the day we would say that
there are about $500 dogs in town that
are unlicensed. "Eyery dog has his

tors straight tip that unless they want
to be dogless very soon they had better
see Chief Flavin and hquidate.
The Deadwood Times, in commenting
on the two locals appearing in the An
vERTIsER concerning the 2 per cent tax
paid by insurance companies in this ter

the various Incorporated cities, says:
s9The Times can cite two instances at
Sturgis where premiums paid are in the
aggregate greater than the total
amount reported for the town by insur-
ance companies, as shown by the audi
tors apportionment. What is true of
Sturgis is true of every town in Dakota.
