the residents of the city, when H. E.
Barnum, the popular proprietor of La
Bon Ton stepped from the train, accom-
panied by a lady, who were registered
afterward at the Sheridan as Mr.. and
Mrs. 81. E. Barnum. Barney" plead
guilty when accused, and stated that he
was married on last Thursday. Con-
CALCULATIONS we're in order, and they
we're numerous and hearty. Nj. and
Mrs. Barnum will remain residents of
the city, and will move into a dwelling
house as soon as one can be secured. 3.
Emmons County Record: In a letter
from Mrs. F. ]. Brown, formerly of Ex-
eter, but now of Bismarck, to an EN-
mons county lady, she says: II have
suffered much since I saw you last. My
hearing is better, but I am
not nearly as we'll as I was
a month ago. I cough terribly and
have choking spells. The doctors call it
catarrhal consumption. I am d~octoring
all the time. I am afraid that when
winter comes I shall be down again.
Little 10y Fralelgh is falling fast. She
was better last spring when the warm
weather came, but is now sinking rap
idly" ..
Last Sabbath, while Duncan Nc
Gillis was in Bismarck, his little
daughter, Miss Helen had a narrow
escape from being killed or carried away
by eagles. She was playing with her
doll beside the house, when Mrs. Nc
Gillis heard her scream, and rushed out
to see what was the trouble. She foun7
the child with three large eagles hover
ing over her, her doll clasped tight TO
her breast, and her face cut in several
places. As soon az the eagles saw Mrs.
McGillis, they gave an angry scream
and few away. The child's face and
lips were terribly cut and bruised, and
her injuries were painful indeed.
Upwards of 25O,OOO acres of fine land
in Sheridan county was yesterday
thrown open for settlement. As yet, no
entries or filings have been made on this
land. The county is occupied mostly by
stockmen, the farming element being in
the decided minority. From all who
have visited that section of country,
however, come reports to the effect that
the country is a rolling, undulating prairie,
very fertile, traversed by numbers of
streams, and dotted here and there with
lakes and marshes. Hay is abundant,
game plentiful, and q nicer spot for set
Element could not be desired. There are
few squatters in the county as yet, but
the opening of the county for settlement
will give opportunities to many farmers
to obtain homesteads. .E-
Fargo Republican: Messrs. May, Og-
den, and Stimmel made their last visit
yesterday to the contesting cities for the
location of next summers Chautauqua.
Valley City was the last to be visited but
by no mean the least in Importance. She
holds out great inducements for the To-
cation of the ~Chautauqua and stands a
fair chance Of receiving the location.
The executive committee meets here
next week to decide upon q location.
Several excellent places have been Wis
tied and all furnish nice locations, but
they all,::of course, can't get it. It will
have to be given to one and Devils Lake
is most likely TO. be the lucky contestant.
The TRIBUNE is in receipt Of q COM
m%unication signed by Messrs. Colby,
Locklin and Hayes, comprising the
school board Of Sterling, expressing
their regret at the action of Mrs. Chas.
Hendrix, nee Miss Una Clifford, in re-
signing as teacher Of that district, be-
cause of reports put in circulation by
designing persons to the effect that il
she didn't resign she would be dis
charged. Mrs. Hendrix is spoken Of
very highly by the board both as q
teacher and. ailady andthey especially de,
,sire to 'condemn the action of gcssips in
this matter. The board regret to lose
