Hon. Melvin Grigsby, of Sioux Falls,
Dakota, is being urged by his friends
for the Republican nomination for Con-
gressional Delegate from that territory.
Mr.. Grigsby was born on farm in
Grant county, Wisconsin, in 1915, and
when only sixteen years old he enlisted
in the Second Wis. Cavalry. He was
taken prisoner and witnessed and en-
dured tho horrors of Andersonville,
Florence and other Rebel prisons. AT
the close of the war he came home and
determined to secure for himself an edu-
cation. He was one of the second class
of students graduated at the State Nor
NAL school in Platteville, and subse-
quently taught school in that state for a
number of years. He went to Sioux
Falls, Dakota. in 1872. and formed law
partnership with Il. F. Pettigrew. In
1888 he was a member Of the first con
ventiUn held at Sioux Falls to devise a
constitution for South Dakota. In 1886
he was a candidate for theCongressional
nomination, provided it should appear
that Delegate Clifford could not be nomi-
mated. lie was subsequently elected a
member of the council Of the legisla.
tive session of 1887, in which he under
took to rally the Republican majority to
resist the encroachments of the Demo.
cratic Executive, but was unsuccessful.
He is one of the brainy men of Dakota,
and will yet be heard from in the halls
of Congress. MIR. Grigsbv is cousin
of Rev. Theodore Clifton, also native
of Grant County and a graduate of the
Platteville Normal, and who Subsequent
ly studied for the ministry, and was for
some time pastor of a Congregational

VIM. & Anton Gerhardt have struck
some very good mineral, and the indi-

by Wagner, Gerhardt & Co. They
have taken out great deal of lead this
winter and the prospect is at present
better than it ever has been.
The next mining firm that is worthy
of note is that of Nichols, Mueller Il
Ames. They have one of the best pros
poets that was ever struck in the Potosi
