A FEW miles north of Huron 480 acres
of drouth- killed land were obtained, at
cost probably of not more than So an
acre. or S2,4OO. Irrigators, without
knowledge or experience in the matter,
put down an artesian we'll, constructed
bitches, put in reservoirs, made some
expensive mistakes, finally got experts
and got on to the scheme in something
like ship-shape. They plowed about
300 acres of land, seeded it with wheat,
flax, corn, barley, potatoes, ETC., until
they got nearly $4,000 blowed in for
land and all. And then-long before
any harvest of anything, right in the
dryest, hottest. windiest part of the
season, when things surrounding looked
blue-along comes some business men,
who have already had experience with
irrigated lands in other states. and look
the place over and offer $4,000 for it.
Twenty-Five per cent. advance on the
f; IS. 900 cost. But the complaisant owner
smiles at the offer. Then $1,000 is Of
fcred and xefused: then $4,000, and a
little hesitation. with some figuring on
'scrop prospects, then the owners
price goes up good and strong to $l5, 600,
and there she stands! So much is his
tory. The owners of this f rm are
making another already on the same
general plan. The disappointed nego-
tiators have authorized the purchase Of
half section in Beadle county, upon
which they will proceed to make farm
after the fashion of the one they failed
to get. This is more history. Inter-
ested people can draw their own con-
illusions.

Around the State.

Around the State.
THE Nebraska state board of trans
portation has received numerous appli-
cations for appointments as deputy in
spectors, under the new warehouse law,
but just at present the members of the
board are too busy trying to find out
what the law contomplates and requires
to have any particular concern about
grain inspectors. Although the bill was
framed on the lines of the Illinois law,
the state officers are not familiar with
the operations of the latter, and the
Nebraska act is a puzzle to them. The
secretaries OF the board have also been
set to work to unravel it's mysteries, but
they. too, confess that they have not
yet solved the riddle. Members of the
board talk of going to Chicago and st.
Louis to get enlightenment from their
systems, and if they themselves do not
go it is likely the secretaries will be
sent. The board will act on the opinion
of the attorney general that the act
does not take effect until August L.
The governor appoints the chief in
spector, but the board names the dep
uties and fixes all salaries, which are
to be paid from the inspection fees.

divine whether it was intended as the

to commit burglary. Lawrence saw
by the dim light of the beclouded
moon, the outlines of a human form
crouching under the window, and
called out: "Who's therem Receiv-

The ArmUry.

The armory question still maintains
its Importance, and it depends largely
on the push and energy OF our citizens
to decide if we are to have it. Some
thing more than half the stock has
been subscribed, and in order to make
il an assured success the other should
be taken before work is begun on the
building. The bond for deed is we
believe, perfected, but it is not policy
to begin work for some time. Under
the terms of the bond, the company
has until about the middle of June to
complete the building, and this is ami
pie time. The building is to he two
stories the lower one having n twelve
foot ceiling, the npper, eleven f1et sides
aud Il heighth of eighteen feet in the
center. a stage can be put in after
wards, il found necessary. We need
just such building and we need it
badly. This being the case we should
all stand in together to raise the bal
ance Of the stock and have the build
ing paid for when It is completed. AS
it is at present th9re is no place for
public gatherings, but with the
armory completed we can have some
show of getting the Teachers Insti-
tute, the annual meeting of the Oregon
Press association, and other such meet
ings that would be of immense benefit
to us, but from when we are now cut
off for lack of q suitable room for

Wagon Train 5esieged by Indians.

A special from camp near Wounded
Knee Creek, South Dakota, gives the par
ticulars of another engagement which took
place at that point Tuesday morning. A
detachment of thirty men had been sent
out from the camp TO meet a wagon train
with supplies for the camp, and when ten
miles out the wagons were found besicged
by band of 100 Indians. On seeing the
troops approaching the redskins scattered
in all directions, but Immediately returned
to the attack on finding the small number
Of men in the detachment
A courier was sent back to camp for re-
Inducements, but in the meantime an in
cessant fire was kept up on both sides,
resulting in the wounding of one soldier
and the killing and wounding of several
Indians, the exact number of which could
not be ascertained as the redskins carried
their dead and wounded away. About
three hours after the courier's departure,
troops were seen coming ut full gallop to
tho rescue. As the troops rode up the In
diaus scattered in all directions, and Troop
+ pursued them, but abandoned the chase
on account Of darkness. The wagon train
was escorted TO camp in safety.
