The insurance upon the syndicate

materiallzed.

The subject of the following item,
taken from the Pierre Capital, will be
rememberd by a number Of our readers
as one of our visitors last summer, he
and his party camped for some two
weeks on Cold Brook. Eugene
Steere, who is in New England on a
business and pleasure trip, recently
had narrow escape from drowning.
He in campany with others was cross

the ice broke and precipitated all into
the water. The team and sleigh were
lost, but the entire party managed to
escape with their llves.'

invested in considerable real estate.
Mr.. Caughey was also here last year.
They were so infatuated with the
place and its brigh prospects that they
decided to take up their residence here,
which they have done, and Mr.. Caugh-
ey is living in the Gene Record house in
Phillips addition while Mr.. Clark lives
just south of Treasurer Bralley's. 1t
was the intention of the young men to
engage in the mercantile business, but
the fire temporarily changed their
plans by burning a building they had
rented. These very excellent families
are gladly welcomed to our growing
young city.
