While some of the BOYS were exer.

While some of the boys were eNer-
cising their running horses, ut the
race track last Sunday forenoon. the
Chinese la%undryman had an expert
ence that he is likely to remember
for a long time. lie was riding one
of the horses and as the animal came
under the wire it suddenly stopped
but the Chinaman kept on going, fly
ing through the air ahead of the horse
like a bird, The aerial part of the
performance didn't hurt him much.
but the landing, which was sudden
and entirely unprecedented, gave
him Il shaking up that was far from
pleasant. No bones were broken and
he is all right again.
Washington dispatch: The citizens
of Mandan. Oak, desired an appro-
priation for the protection of the riv-
Ell front at that place. The river and
harbor bill passed the house under sns-
pension of the rules. which precluded
the possibility of amendment in the
house. In the senate Judge Clifford
attempted. through Senator Teller, to
have a clause inserted in the bill APP
propriating $4,000 for this purpose.
but Senators Vest and Ransom object.
ell and opposed amendment on the
ground that no recommendation
thereof had been made. and Senator
Teller was forced to withdraw his
amendment.
While in Minneapolis last Saturday,
we met w. w. Mabee, formerly of
Glendivc. who was on his way to Chi
cago. to engage in the manufacture
of patent medicines. lie remarked
that the medicines he intends
to manufacture l. entirely new. and
are for ailments for which there is no
other medicine known. Mabee has
the energy and push to make a sue
cess in his new field. as he has had
considerable experience in the drug
business. The firm, in which lie is a
partner has unlimited capital to push
business. and we expect to hear of
Dr.. Mabec and partners retiring from
business in Il short time with mill
lions.-Glendive Independent.
NJ. Mabee will he remembered by
proprietor of the Glendive Times for
Il number of years.
We are informed that n individual
has started out from South Heart
river to hunt for antelopcs simply to
obtain their hides. This is IL most
un.iustiliahlc proceeding and is Il di.
rect violation of the laws of the ter
ritory. Certain sections of the Conn
piled Laws of Dakota read Us follows:
Section 1919. 1t shall he unlawful for
any person to kill. cnsnare or trap in
any form u manner. Oh by any device
whatever, OF, for any. purpose any
buffalo, elk, deer, antelope OF noun
tain sheep between the first day of
January and the first day of Septcm-
Der Of each and every year. Section
1880. Any person OF persons who
shall violate any of the provisions of
section 1919 shall he considered guilty
of a misdemeanor, and upon convic-
ton thereof shall he fined for each elk
so killed or found in his, her or their
possession. the sum of ten dollars,
and for each deer, antelope. or moum-
tain sheep so killed OF found in his,
her OF their possession the SUI of
one hundred dollars.
No objection can be made to any
person killing an antelope for the
meat at any time of the year but such
II wholesale slaughter of these grace
full deniZens of the prairie for the
hides alone, which are worth twenty
five cents each. and leaving the meat
to rot, is IL shameful waste of food
material and the person engaged in
the business should be punished to
the full extent of the law.
