The engine does not come up to re-
lquirements. The company has been
asked to send man to inspect it.
The ladies Of this city will give an
ice cream supper at Andrews old stand,
next door to e. O. knights harness
shop some evening next week for the
benefit OF the Hose company. The ex-
pense attached is fifteen cents for ice
cream and cake. Everybody knows
that the ladies only make the best, and
as the object in view is worthy they
should be well patronized
As yet no news has been cleaned as to
whether the different political parties in
the city intend calling ward primaries
and city conventions or not. Everyone
seems to be taking it very easy regard
ing political matters end, Judging from
appearances, no one seems to care pic
aune who is elected. Such matters can
be delayed SO long that when man ar
riycs at the conclusion that he wants an
office he will wake up and find himself
ont Of the race.
The s'kid' nine went to Deadwood to
play the kittens of that burg last Satur-
day afternoon. When the game was
called they discovered that the big kids
second nine were pitted against them,
but not at all scared they sailed into
them and done them up in two innings
by q score of six to five. The Terra
williams then appeared TO play the Dead
wood nine, when the Sturgis kids started
game with the club of their own cali
bre-Ike Posner's-and rubbed it into
them thirty to fifteen. This is what our
kids tell us.
The base ball enthusiasts organized
an association last Friday evening with
membership Of twenty five. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: President,
John Scollard; first vice president,
James Brennan; second vice president,
M. Goeden; secretary and treasurer, G..
E. Hair. III. III. Lerrimer was elected
manager. A first nine has been picked
out and will be placed in practice at
once. Several valuable additions have
been made to the club and with practice
the aggregation will, without doubt, re-
trieve its lost reputation.
A. d. Clark, proprietor Of the Buffalo
Gap News; president Of the Stewart
Mining company; president of the Buff
falo Driving Park association; principal
stakeholder in the Northwestern Marble
company, and general all-around boss OF
more mining properties than he has
digits, spent the past week in gallivant-
| ing over, under and throu gh the North
ern Hills looking after his several inter
ests. He stopped over in Sturgis, gazed
at her Improvements, and wendell his
homeward way remarking casually that
Scoop was the best burg in the Hills.
AS has been anticipated by the citi-
zens of Sturgis for some time back, the
railroad company, in carrying oat its
policy of giving Sturgis black eye at
every opportunity, issued its long
winded circular ordering all freight for
the Northern Hills to be shipped to
Whitewood, and further stating that
only Fort Meade, Galena and Sturgis
freight will be received at this point. This
move will not injure Sturgis to any
great extent, and will not help the tend
o. the track" much. 1t will take more
than few thousand pounds of freight
to build up town at the Sturgis stock
yards.
We had expected to retire the articles
on our last page this week, but as our sup
ply of extra copies of last weeks edition
was entirely exhausted within twenty
four hours after we had gone to press,
with orders in for additional copies, we
arrived at the conclusion that Sturgis
would not be injured to any great extent
by running the articles again. We will
have extra copies hereafter containing
these descriptive articles, so that all de-
string to post friends in the east con-
corning the resources of Lawrence
county and the possibilities of Sturgis,
can get as great supply as they may
desire.
