charged with the murder of George
Duncan and whose trial was to have
come off this week, escaped from the
Jail at Huron, last Saturday evening,

Last spring Thomas Brown OF
this township, sowed two bushels of
wheat received from the Black Hills
upon II acres of land, from which he
last week threshed 40 bushels of an
excellent quality OF wheat. Who can
beat that yield?
Dan Mcclure, rustler from Sui
ly county, was in the city Tuesday
and reports crops good up IN his part
of the country, wheat averaging about
Is bushels to the acre and other small
gram good but rather dry for corn.

The temperance picnic at Car
son last Sunday was well attended
The friends of the cause canvassed the
subject and if the feeling that existed
there could rule there would be no
question of the final result. A num-
ber of local speakers delivered adj
dresses, and a general good time was
had by all.
Exit, August, hot and windy;
enter, September, colder than blue
blazes.-Ddkota Blizzard.
The author of the above will have
a great plenty of the shot and windy
between this and the time when the
name of his paper will again come IN
to every day use.
B. p. Hoover returnad, Tuesday,
from his trip to Huron and his subse-
quent swing around the circle. Ben
Is jubilant over the result of the Dem
ocratic convention ut Huron and thinks
that they have rs good a ticket in the
field rs any party can show and that
by little quiet rustling it will come
in second best, sure.

Gettysburg mercantile firm, was in

ing around with view of locating
here with stock of goods. He ex-
pressed himself rs being satisfied that
another store would pay here and will
make up his mind about coming after
submitting the matter to his partner.
Dist. Atty. Goddard and Sheriff
Faust went TO Blunt, Thursday, after
ice for the Llmonum. Why the for
mer should need the company of the
latter or the latter of the former is a
query. Probably they intended to
bring along the needful BY some pro-
cess of law. Or better still may be
the sheriff desired the warming intlu-
ence of his sandy complexloned COM
panion on the return with the ice.
-Sully county was visited by an
other fire, Tuesday evening, but owing
to favorable circumstances not much
damage was done. The prairie was
ignted by a stroke of III shtni ng IN the
vicinity of the Okobojo, northwest of
town, and the fire was carried off
toward the river About ten o'clock
the wind shifted and BILE a gale from
the opposite direction, and things
looked dubious for some time thereaf-
ter. The wind then became variable,
and blowing from different points OF
the compass had the effect of breaking
the fire up into patches and thereby
making it easy of subjection. The
loss to hay and grazing land will be
quite large item to those in the
neighborhood of the fire. Hon. j. NJ.
Moore lost two stacks of wheat, being
the product of 35 acres of land and
lots of hard work While we greatly
deplore the losses that did occur we
should be thankful that the horrors OF
April End were not repeated.
