The weather clerk must be taking an
extended vacation as we continue to hav ,
July weather right along, the mercury in
the thermometer every day this month
skirmishing around up among the nine
ties. Professor Foster has promised us
severe frosts in very few days, so no
doubt the weather for the month will
about average, though no one would
kick if Foster was fooled about a month
in his prophecy. .,
On the night of the 4th inst, the
Shiedley Cattle Co. lost thirty five tons
OF hay by fire. It was undoubtedly the
work of an incendiary, as man was
heard riding away after the discovery of
the fire, and wagon standing between
two OF the stacks had two of the burs
taken from the wheels, the frebug
doubtless thinking that if any attempt
was made to move the wagon the wheels
would drop off and the wagon be lost in
the fire. The wagon and harness were
saved however, though the loss of the
burs was not discovered until the next
morning.
Mr.. Keffeler got home Sunday from
Chicago. He followed his wheat to mar
ket and succeeded in having it graded
No. 2 spring. II he had not been on the
ground the wheat would have been grad
ed No. 8 white the lowest on the list
It's color was against it, but after being
examined by the chief inspector it was
graded as above stated. Mr.. Keffeler
took sample Of Laurance's -four with
him and had it worked into bread on the
floor of the exchange and it demonstrate
ed that Black Hills wheat was superior
10 any on the market. He had calls for
samples of this -four and today he sent
forward three sacks of Laurance's less
grade to commission men to give it q
further test.
