new administration TO Sully county
land and bearing the signature OF
President Harrison, was received at
the County Registers office, last Mon
day. 1t was issued to George W.
Leizure. and is for the south half oi
the southwest quarter of section 2ll II
81.
We are glad to see by the Faulk-
ton Record that the editor of that pa
per, NJ. L. Springer, has finally got a
hump on his back and gone the way
of nine-t -tenths of all the world. In
other words he has woed and won a
fair member of the gentler sex an
swering to the name OF Mary +. Camp
bell.
R. NJ. Springer and wife, of For
est City, stopped overnight in Onida,
Monday. Mr. Springer is the well
known Forest City boomer, and he has
just returned from an eastern trip
where he has been enlisting more cap
ital in the interest of that summer
resort. He says that the railroad will
be extended from Gettysburg this sea
son, the contract for grading having
already been let.
Porter d IIatfcr are first class car
penters and have lots of business.
They have just turned out some fine
work for the county and also for the
Dakota House. GettySbarg Cnion-
Mder.
The above are both Sully county
boys, the senior member OF the firm
being the genial Bob Porter of Hart
ford township. Their many friends
are pleased to see that they are getting
TO the front.
As Mrs. S. r. Pratt, of Farming
ton township, was going to Clifton,
this week, her pony wished to turn in
at Brooklng's but rs this was contrary
to Mrs. Pratt s intention she applied
the bud but the pony had his own
way, and while he turned in toward
the house the driver went out over the
side of the buggy and on toward Cliff,
ton. She was pretty badly frightened
and slightly shaken up. Probably
next time she will not discuss the
stopping place with his pOnyship.
AT Huron, to-day, Mr.. Pendleton
will have a hearing before Judge
Spencer III the attachurrnt suit of
Wanamakers against him He claims
that he is a resident of Sullv county
and that, therefore, the property levied
upon is exempt from execution. 1t
goes without saying that the sympa-
thy of the community is with Mr. F..
and il he was only given little time
there is no question but that he would
be able TO adjust all claims against
him
The Aultman & Taylor Co. has
commcnccd to forcclosc a mortgage of
}. Casehere and ii. l.. Kunstman, on
property lselonging to each, for the
purchase money of steam threshcr
The parties were ANXIOUS TO fix the
matter up md even offered TO assign
the proceeds of Il 30 days run which
they had pr0mised in Hand county;
but this comrary, like all machine
companies, waptcd either money or
n mortgage ou-the earth, and rs a con-
sequence thes-HFve placed the mort
gagors in heEstraightcned clrcum
stances, and it Is not likely that it will
rebound either to the credit or bust
ness of the company in this commun-
ity.
The following letter from Captain
j. II. Hurst. the Commander of Ft.
Bennett, will show that the boys IN
blue are heartily interested in the
opening of the reservation, and right
here it is proper To remark that the
fact Of SO many signatures being OBJ
tanned at that agency is due mainly
to the untir:ng efforts of Maj Randall
and Capt. Hurst:
TT. Bennett, July %, SO.
VIM. Toomey, Esq.
Five hundred and thirty-two sigma
lures this evening. Think we will get
fully 600 Are now working for all
we can get over the required three
fourths. So far as this agency is con
sidered the treaty is success. Give
the facts to the WATCHMAN.
Yours,
j. II. Hurst.
