II. l.. Dickinson leaves for New
York city on this evenings train.
lie goes there to urge upon the syn
dictate owning the townsite the i'm.
p%ortance of taking steps towards do
ing something to induce immigration
and keep up the growth of the town.
If the syndicate will take hold of the
matter and push it properly there is
no reason why the town should not
have a vigorous growth, a demand
for real estate created and general
prosperity be the result. The syndi-
cate can make a lively town of Dick
inson if they choose to do so and if
they will do their part we are sure
our citizens will be found ready and
willing to assist.
We have been informed that scab
has made it's appearance on u few
sheep at Chas. Colgrove's place, near
town. The sheep were left here by
parties making a shipment from Mon
tana. There is u law providing for
the appointment of a sheep inspector
by the board of county commission
ers and this case of scab shows the
necessity of prompt action by our
commissioners and they should APP
point some competent person ut their
next meeting. During the shipping
season a large number of sheep are
unloaded here to feed and our sheep
men should be protected by having
an inspector here to look after such
matters.

Last week we mentioned the arrest
of w. A. Northrop. John and James
Kerr on a charge of grand larceny
and their release on furnishing bonds
in the sum of $500. The parties
making the complaint deemed the
bonds insufficient and new warrants
were issued by Justice Chase. James
Kerr was re-arrcsted and subsequent,
ly released without being required tc
give additional bail, Northrop has
} not been re.arrested, but is supposed
] to be at his ranch north of here.
. The two last named claim to be limo,
cent and the crime is laid to John
Kerr who has not been seen for sew,
/. eral days and is believed to have left
the country and a reward of $500 is
offered for his arrest. The cast grew
out of the KILN. OF a range steer
T. near the kildeer mountains and the
: cattlemen claim that for two or three
years cattle have been missed from
t that part of the range and that they
have sufficient evidence to convict a
o least John Kerr. The men interested
4 in the prosecution are 4. II. .Arnett
