witnessed this exhibition Of fisticuff
skill, and all present say that both
men are pretty we'll up in the art

-LaMoure Chronicle.
Frank Aldrich, Of Ada township,
was in the city, Tuesday, and favor
ed us with call. 1t will be re-
membered he was the Democratic
candidate for Clerk Of Court last
year. Frank has the true grit for a
Dakotian and says that, while his
crop is not very good, he intends to
stick to his farm, as he believes in
ten years we will have as fine and
prosperous a country as will he
found anywhere. He says he was
one of the first here and will be one
of the last out. He believes in di-
versified farming and thinks if every
farmer could keep fifty or one hun
dred sleep it would he better than
to stake their Ill OH wheat raising.
We think 50, too, and believe it
would pay to so in debt for this
class OF stock rather than for so
much machinery,
The jamestown delegation Of
sports who went to LaMoure, yes
terday, returned disappointed. There
was no fight. Ingles, the Ellendale
aspirant for pugilistic renown, could
not find hacker and failed to show
up. He would doubtless be another
exploded local phenomenon to-day
1t lie had entered the ring with
Gleason, and his reputation is prob
ably better now than it would have
been had he found a backer.-Alert.
Ii the said delegation had remained
a little longer they would not haye
gone home disappointed, as the
match between Ingalls, and Rey-
nolds was said to be the liveliest and
most entertaining ever witnessed in
this neck O woods. Gleason may
be too much for ingalls, but the lat
ter is said to be no spring chicken.
1t is said these two men will have
a match in Cakes about the middle
Of August.
