A GENUINE BAD BOY.
Grand Forks has got a genuine bad boy
of the most approved pattern. He is a
little colored kid only years old. His
mother is widow and works hard for a
living. The kid first commenced to show
his wicked proclivities by pounding a
younger brother during his mothers alb
sence. Then he stole various sums of
money and skipped from home, remaining
away until taken back by the police. Re
Gently he secreted himself in II store at
night at the request Of some thieves. but
was discovered by the proprietor Just be-
fore closing. He was jailed. but after
ward released. He went home, stole 81
from his mother, came down town, entered
the Scandinavian house and stole a watch
from a sleeping boarder. He has been il,
jail half a dozen times. but his mother
now disowns him. An effort will be made
to send him to the reformatory school.
THE BROWN COUNTY SEAT CASE.
The territorial supreme court, in session
at Deadwood, has rendered Judgment
against Aberdeen in the Brown count,
seat case by reversing the decision of the
lower court. At the same time an appeal
to the United States supreme court has
been allowed and stay of all proceedings
granted. This result does not create sur
prise, as it has been generally anticipated
However, the citizens Of Aberdeen are not
at all afraid of losing the county seat

CHANGE IN THE YANKToN ASYLUM BOARD
Alta meeting of the Yankton asylum
board, Col. Gale. of Canton, heretofore
president of the board, was superseded by
Robert Cox, Of Yankton, and now it is
supposed the Yankton members. being T:
majority, will work together in all things.
Cox is a prominent merchant at Yankton
No cause is assigned for the change.
SHORT IN HIS ACCOUNTS.
News from Wolsey says that Ole Olson
school treasurer, living short distance
from that village, has left the country and
is short in his cash to the school fund
$3.50. He sent his wife to Iowa a week
ago to spend the winter. A lot of cattle
covered by mortgage were left on the farm,
also some other stock. Olson's bondsmer
are looking for him.
WILL REBUILD THE PACKING HOUSE.
The ruins of the burned packing house
OF the Huron Packing and Provision com.
pany are being cleared away and prepare
tons for rebuilding made. G. il. Can
dron and A. Riegel have purchased the in
terests of the other stockholders, and will
rush the work OF rebuilding as rapidly as
possible and be ready for business by the
time cold weather sets in.
James Sprague, Lawrence county
patient at the Yankton asylum, has been
returned therefrom. The county board of
insanity met last Tuesday to consider the
case. and detailed DR.. Babcock to make an
examination. Sprague. though hopelessly
insane. is harmless, and will probably be
turned over to the hospital authorities and
cared for by them.
