mer that his yard was tested to its

from it into the country every day
and every hour OF the day; and we

manding view of the yard from our

a treble stream of loaded teams
emerging from the main drive ways
of the yard. Yes, we see 1t with our

A petition is before the council for
a charter to furnish water works,
lighting and heating the village, and
also for the right to establish horse
or motor power cars for the village;
the lighting plant to be commenced
within eighteen months from date.
the water works to be commenced
three years from date, and the cars
to be commenced when the population
of the village shall have reached
5000. Il would be very desirable
for the village to have q good supply
of water, and also electric lights, but
the heating business we do not
understand. On the other hand, ii
might be grave matter to give the
rights of the village to q company
for so years, which is the time asked
for in the petition. The citizens of the
village should consider the pros and

Little Sam.


The death of Little Sam which
took place here on the 18th OF May
81 and whose remains are inferred
on the grounds of the Driving Park
Association. and within the circle
where no distinguished himself 30
grandly q year ago, has caused so
much grief to the sporting world
that we are induced to give brief
sketch of him. Little Sam was sired
by Blind Bashaw. formerly known as
Little Bashaw. His dam, was sired
by Sam Huston, Ky. his grand dam
was a three quarter Hambletonion.
He was almost five years old. Last fall
he trotted a mile in 2:28, and half a
mile at the rate of 2:22, with only
two months training. Sporting men
here valued him at $4,000, and no
doubt he would have been worth it
to his owner this fall. He died of
structure of the intestineS. His
owner, Mr.. S. G. Koutz, OF Hecla,
Brown County, S. D. has full sister
to him, years old, and one halt
sister and one half brother two years
old. yet he feels the loss of Little
Sam very much, as he is not in a
condition to stand it, having lost his
crop for two successive years. We
wish him better luck with his re-
manning stock.
