 James C. Burr reports his crop of strawberries considerably below the av- craze, 800 bushels, in round numbers, from six acres but the fine quality of the fruit, with the good prices received for the crop, helps to make up the short age. His berries have averaged him about l2 l-2 cents, picking beginning June , and winding up, last week Fri JuHt WHth bIis ldSb lOdus OI buS 'S0 crop were marketed; few crates were picked, Saturday, but were dis posed of in the home market. The Cres. cent Seeding is a leading variety in Nil Burr's fields and he finds it better to plant different varieties, as mixture brings n larger variety of berries. As usual, the pickers, numbering about 4C on the busiest days, were given treat of ice cream, etc. when the last loads were brought in, last Friday, which all en. Ioyed heartily. Harry Clark, Mrs Austin Gannon's grandson, and Frank Fohenbach have credit fol the best days work, the former picking l05 quarts in 10 hours and the latter 1lt in 12; as many as 200 quarts have beer gathered in 10 hours by pickers at Nil Burr's in former years, but probably berries grew thicker than this season. With an increased acreage in strawber. ries, Mir Burr looks forward to next season with the expectation of a larger business under favoring conditions of weather and market.

Seventy Miles in Two Rour..s

seventy Miles IN Two hnursh
DEs MoNEs, Ia, May 10 Special to
Tue BEE. Superintendent Given, of the
Rock Island road, at this place, is making
some interesting experiments with carrier
pigeons, with a view to using them as SUP
Elemental to the telegraph service. One day
last week he shipped by express thirty-tour
carrier pigeons TO Brooklyn station, seventy
miles east of here, on the Rock Island. After
being kept awhile the birds were freed from
their box at o'clock in the morning. They
at once rose over the town and for about
seven minutes seemed disposed to explore
Brooklyn and get their bearings perfectly.
Then they shot away west ana took bee
line for Dcs Moiues, reaching the superin-
teudeuts barn n little before clock, having
made the seventy miles in less than two
hours. All of the birds arrived home in good
condition save three that had dropped by the
wayslde superintendent Given is expert
menting with the pigeons with "a view to es
tabhshiug a service all along the line of the
road. 1t frequently happens that during
great wind storms the wires, If not down, are
useless aud the railroad is sadly embarrassed
for want of communication. If he can or
ganiZe u carrier service at each station, he
thinks he will be able to face any interrupt
tiou of teographic service with compoSurc.
The BIRDS that made the trip from Brooklyn
were young ones, with little experience in
the business, having made no long trips be-
FORE Their return from a seventy mile sta
tion in less than two hours is considered
quite remarkable under the circumstances,
and will encourage Mr. Given to continue his
training.

WAHoo, Neb., May 19.-[Special to THE
BEE. Last night, an 'indignatlon" meet
ing was held to protest against the action of
the city council in passing the waterworlSs
ordinance, few nights ago. The meeting
was presided over by Mayor Dickinson. The
protest was to the effect that the city council
had not dealt fairly with the waterworks
company, and had not granted as liberal a
franchise as the company wanted. The or
dinance in question was passed over the
mayors veto by-a vote of to 2, and one of
the minority asked to have his vote changed
to the side of the majority, making the vote
really stand to L. The mayor introduced a
set of resolutions in which the council was
denounced for its action, and called upon to
settle with the waterworks company on the
company's terms or resign. A motion to
adopt the resolution had seven votes for it
and none against, and was declared unani-
mously carried, after which the meeting ad-
journed.

Politics in the BLACK Hills.

LEAD CITY, May 1S.-TSpccal to Tue
BEE The late election passed of very
quietly in the Hills; but, nevertheless, a con-
siderable vote was cast. Voting was quite
spirited in the First and Third districts,
where there were two candidates entered in
the field by each political party, Quite sur
prise was caused in the First district by the
defeat of s. NJ. Booth, u very popular demo-
crat. The successful candidate of the
minority party in that district was Chauncey
l.. Wood, a lawyer OF Rapid City. In the
Third district, generally considered repub-
lican before election, the democrats sue
ceeded in eecting two delegates and in de.
feating j. l.. Dennissy, one of the most
prominent republicans of the district. The
delegates elected are John Scollard and
Thomas Thompson. In the Second district
the contest was greatly simplltied by the fact
that there were only three candidates in the
field, all of whom it was necessary to eject.
This state of affairs did not exist until within
a few days of the election. Two democratic
candidates were in the field up to that
time, and it was believed by the
most active members of that party
that both would be elected. The democrats
based their hopes of success on the favorable
attitude of the labor organizations toward
the party's candidates. But the hopes of the
democracy were blasted the day before the
election took place by the resignation of A.
J. Corum, the candidate so popular in the
labor circles. The cause of his withdrawal
from the field was presumably the determina-
tion of his collegue, Judge g. NJ. Thomas.
not to run. The latter's friends, among
whom are large number of the leaders of
the party, were determined to secure his
election if possible and upon their request
Mr.. Corum graciously resigned. Thus the
number of candidates IN the field was the
same as the delegates to be elected. Consid-
eriug this unusual condition of affairs, the
vote WAS much larger than was expected.
Carson, O'Brien and Thomas (democrat) are
of course elected, while the majority for the
Sioux Falls constitution is about 2, 900 in this
country and about 9 500 in the entire Hills.

Death of Colonel Robert w. Boyd.

Death of Colonel Robert w. Boyd.
MARQUETTE, Neb., May Correspond
ence of The BEE Last Monday morning
occurred the sudden death Of Colonel Robert
w. Boyd, or, as he was famiiarly known,
"Grandpap" Boyd. Colonel Boyd was born
on the 25th day of July, 1917, at place called
Strawberry Plains, Carter county, Tenn.
At the age of thirty.iive he embraced re-
ligon and became n member of the NJ. Il.
church, soon after being ordained as min
ister of that church, and for thir-
teen years he filled his regular appointments.
But about this time he took change of
heart and was immersed into the Baptist de-
nomination, received an appointment as n
preacher, and continued to expound the
doctrines of that church until his voice
failed him. He moved to near Central City
in 1879. This is the place where the Boyd
warehouse was located, which we hear so
many soldiers talk about who were in the
neighborhood of Chattanooga during the
war When Colonel Boyd moved on the
plantation he built church for the public
use, and his charitable disposition was al
ways recognized He always treated his slaves
in humane manner. and was never known
to have any trouble with them. He never
would have any overseer or driver on his
place and when the war opened he told them
all that they were free, but they would not
leave him, and a number of them followed
him to Nebraska when he came here.
III lcOU ne WAS aDpOlnteu COlOnel OF u reg
tment, but on account of his family he re-
signed and took charge of the supply depart
ment of the Union army and located near his
home. When Burnside was about to lose
his grip on Chattanooga he personally got a
couple of dispatch bearers through the rebel
lines to him. The dispatches were IMPORT
ant, and had it not been for Colonel Boyd the
bearers would never have reached Burnside,
and the aspect of that battle would have
been changed.
For fourteen years he lived near Central
City on q farm and was highly esteemed by
all who knew hun. September 81 1886, he
moved to Marquette and with his son
engaged in the mercantile business
Although a wealthy man before the war, and
losing everything almost as result of it,
he never grumbled, and always remained
loyal ana true to the union, and since the
war to the republican party. He leaves an
aged wife and nine children. The funeral
services were held in the Christian church,
Tuesday, conducted by Rev. Knapp, of Au-
rora. and his remains laid to rest in the Gem
etery connected with the United Brethren
church, according to the rites of the /. o. o..
F., of Central City, of which lodge he was a
charter member.

Sequel to an Election,


LITTLE Rock, Ark, May l0.-Advices from
Forest City state that Neely the negro
whose quarrel resulted in Yesterdays riot in
which three men were killed, was killed by
mob early this morning. Neely aud his
father and brother took rctuge in the Advo-
cate building. Efforts were made TO get at
him, but they proved unsuccessful, US the
negroes were well barricaded. This morning
the acting sheriff persuaded old man Neely
and his other son to come out, promising them
safe conduct to the Jail and n fair trial.
Neely did not appear The sheriffs posse
was not more than one hundred yards distant
with the two prisoners when n number
OF other members of the posse raidcd the
Advocate building. Ncely was discovered
secreted under the floor, and was ridoled
with bullets. This last killing created
great deal of excitement, and the people
were afraid of u raid on the town by the ne
groes. The acting sheriff wired Governor
Eagle, and asked that the militia be ordered
there. Governor Eagle thought he could be
better able to Judge of what was needed by
being on the ground, so he took the first
train to Forest City, and is now there and
Will remain there until quiet is restored.
The cause of all the trouble was the deter
mined attempt of the negroes to elect
two of their race to memberships
in the school board in place of two white
candidates The white people claimed the
negroes already had sufficient representation,
and charged that they were trying To obtain
control of the board in order to manage the
school to suit themselves. Neely was q
prominent republican. He was member OF
the state central committee and of the execu-
tive committee and had secured the recoms
mendation OF that body for appointment
as register of the land Office here. 1t has
been learned that the bullet which killed
Sheriff Wilson was not fired by Necly, as
first supposed, but was one OF the shots fired
wildly by Marshal Folbre, rs he was falling
after being fatally wounded by Tom Purham.
