credit is due Mr.. Robinson for what he
has done for the church. y,:Anoher prai
lrie fire startled Glencoe people on Mon
day of last week. 1t started to the north
and swept down through Mr.. Sanders
meadow, destroying about half of his hay
crop. 1t destroyed the green hay like

reached his fields of ripe grain. 1t is too
bad th't such things are not punished.

ranch hogan Aug. /. and in the meantime
the foreman, s. E. Ryder, is breaking
bronchos for Mr.. 3. If anybody can
bring them to time it is "Silc." He
seems to be natural "broncho BUSTER
Mr.. Beech brought IL colt of G. II.

Wade, accompanied by Miss Grccnlcr,
visited Winona and Fort Yates last week
The Times Of the former place gets in the
information that Miss Welch, of Du-
luth, Mimi, WIS the name of the lady
who was with them--which is about as
correct as some other news that gets into
the columns of the Times. b. While out
driving in the COWS one day not long
since, Miss Louise Small heard noise
which she thought must be a rattlesnake
She stopped her pony to investigate, and
discovered a large RATHER coled up a.
short distance from her. As she had
nothing to kill it with, she rode to Mr.
Becch's, near by, and asked him TO kill it
for her, which he did. It had seven rat
ties. and was very large snake. Mr..
, Ryder also killed small snake with one
rattle not long since. Frank Parks, re,

wcil-known grocery house of George
Jennings Main and Fifth streets, con-
i. tinurs to do ii good trade, ana still keeps
growing in favor with the people who do
business in Bismarck. And the reason
therefor Is not hard to find 1t is because
people dealing with him. know that his
large stock Of goods Is pure and fresh,
aud are sold at fair and reasonable prices.
