KIMBALL, OAK, June 22.-Old White
Ghost and his numerous squaws have
been encamped about the town for some
days, together with about half hun
dred full, half and quarter-breeds. He
Stlll appears as smart and youthful as
! he did dozen years ago, but he has one
burden upon his shoulders. He de-
sires to be rid of his favorite daughter,
and wants white man to have her.
This has long been standing offer for
a white sOn-in-law, and if fifty ponies
and 125 head of cattle would be suf-
ficient recOmpense for the torture of oc-
cupying such position it would have
been filled long since. A number of
hundreds of acres of land were, before
the passage of the reservation bill, also
to be thrown III as an additional price
OF honor, but there were no takers even
at that price. And how could there be?
After one has gazed at her fair (?) form
and taken in all the points he feels very
much, as did the runner for a certain
Dubuque boot and shoe house, after
he had closely Scrutinized her. Turn
ing to Landlord Kent, who had accom-
panied him to the camp, he asked once
more for the terms upon which she was
to be disposed. Upon being told, he
scratched his Uranium and muttering,
"Well, its worth - sight more!'
started for the towns center.
THE ''PoKER CASE"
OF Which mention was made in last
Saturdays edition, wherein suit was
brought against the ex-bank president.
ID. +. Gates, has made lots of talk, and
every, one was anxious to see a GLOBE
and learn full particulars. 1t was
shown in court that the defendant used
the telegraph as well as the plaintiffs
the latter to ask if the note was good,
the check. The court decided in favor
of the plaintiffs, and rendered Judgment
for an aggregate of about $500, leaving
a splendid moral plainly in view Of the
most nearsighted, viz: don't play poker,
OF, IT you must play, pay cash for your
chips; and the inference is drawn that
ii. E. Gates, late of the Farmers t&
Traders bank, also late of the Kimball
Milling company, will not play the frol-
lcSome and seductive game at Sioux
Falls for some time.
BRULE'S FAvoRITE SON.
The interest of the county this week,
in fact of number of weeks past, in the
election of a school superintendent cul-
cumbent, Miss Alice j. Sanborn, has
been very efficient officer, and run
ming as she did far ahead of her ticket,
gave the idea that her friends were
many. At this election just passed she
refused to allow her name to be used,
but there were at least trio coveting
what they termed Sinecure-E. l..
Drury, Chamberlain; A. S. Forman.
Kimball, and III. n. Hamilton. of Bijou
Hills. The first named has held the of
flee for two terms and did
as well as he knew how and as
much of it. The second party has been
in the county but eight months, and has
formed but few acquaintance. He
wishes of his friends, who knew the
aversion the people held against the
self-impOrtance of newcomers. The
aforementioned, who bids fair to have
received the largest number of votes, is
a teacher who has been at least five
years in the county, and is a man of
ability. The people throughout the
whole county have done their utmost to
show by their vote that he is the ''fav-
Orite son." AT this moment the re-
turns from many of the polling places
are not in, but even Mr.. Drury's friends
concede the victory to him (Mr. Hamil-

WONDERFUL SNAKE STORY.
1t is with fear that the snake season
may not yet be fully opened that men,
ton is made of monster that is
source of annoyance to adults and
terror to the small boy. On Mon
day evening, between 8 and
9 o'clock, two machine men
Barney Hirth and Jay Barns-were
just leaving the artesian lake, when
upon the opposite side of the street they
noticed movement in the tall grass.
There's one of Boyce's pups" said
Hirth, and commenced to call it. The
grass continued to wave, but the object
causing the commotion went in north
erly direction at about the rate of slow
walk. His companion picked up few
loose stones and threw in the direction
of the dog" which was not over thirty
feet away, but as loud hiss greeted the
assault they looked closely and in dis
may saw what they described thus: A
fat, ugly-looking head raised fully two
feet from the ground, head estimated
at fifteen inches long and seven or eight
