Mandan 1877 voted. There were two tickets
in Mandan and two in Jamestown-in each
ed. In jamestown straight male ticket

1t will be interesting to the deputy survey
ors in the Northwest to know that for the

be made this year before the appropriation

distribute to about iorty deputy su rvey ors

The sheriff of Cakes had a lively time chas-
/ ing up couple of horse thieves the first of
the week. He finally located them at Yer
ona, where he had left two horses locked up
| in the elevator, while he went to Lisbon to
/ get information concerning the thieves He
engaged liveryman named Conklin to drive
him back to Verona, and arrived lust in
time to see the parties he was looking for
mounting the horses he had locked up in the
elevator. Conklin attempted to prevent
their escape when one of them fred four
shots at him at close range, but none of the
shots took effect. The revolver was held SO
close to his face as to severely burn one of
his cheeks. The thieves then escaped in the
darkness.
/ Tony sieg, of Dubuque, is probably the
only wholesale dealer and jobber in cats in
the world. He was at one time farmer in
North Dakota, but became bankrupt
through the depredations of field mice and
gophers. Then brilliant idea struck him,
he located in Dubuque and went into the
cat industry. By SO doing he not only struck
it rich for himself but became benefactor
to the small boy for miles around, who gath
er up all the tommies and Tables in their re-
spective neighborhoods and sell them Mt the
| cat emporium for spot cash. MIR. Sieg, on
leaving North Dakota, formed syndicate
of farmers who agreed to purchase all the
cats he could furnish. Last year he shipped
1900. This year he is covering much
larger territory, and. with an extra number
of circuses billed for Dubuque, which will in
cline the small boy to greater effort, he in
tends to at least double last years business.
He pays 10 cents head for the animals
and retails them at ST.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
The "belt mines" of the Black Hills pay
out monthly, in wages, about $1OO, 900.
