the creamery companies and dairy
farmers of Grant county of late.
His mode of procedure was to visit
creameries and farm houses and
offer an inducement Of 3 or 3 cents
a pound above the market price for
butter. He found customers plenty
and made extensive purchases, pay
ing his dupes in checks on the firm
of FL. Kyle & Co., ~ South Water
ST., Chicago, which firm he claimed
to represent. Investigation devel-
oped the fact that no such firm ex
lists; but by this time the rogue was
gone, likewise the butter. One
creamery is said to have thus pur-
chased experience to the extent of

The market house and square here
presents scene on Saturday morn
ing calculated to fill stranger in
the city with astonishment. No
other city within many miles has
anything like it. Here everything
from huckleberry to load of hay
is offered for sale. 1t is a perfect
tangle Of booths, stands, wagons,
scales, shops, and good natured
looking, fat old German women.
There is perhaps nothing like it
outside of the French quarters in
New Orleans. Everything eatable
that grows in the northwest can be
found here, and the limit in quantity
will reach the end of your purse
and appetite many times over, unless
you may be u corpulent corporation
conductor. The market house was
built many years ago, and is a splen-
did building and still in an excellent
state of repair. The Roberts broth
ers have handed out fine hunks of
fresh beef from their shop in the
center of the building for over 43
years. When visiting Galena don't
fail to see our market place. -Galena
