The legality of the elections just held in

The legality of the elections just held In
the cities and towns OF North Dakota is
being questioned. The question of legal
ity arises partly from the fact that the
reports OF the elections from different
parts OF the state do not show uniform
ity as to the time when the elections
were held.
VIM. Hogan, a pugilist, was shot at
Deadwood, s. D., a few days ago, by ].
C. Cook, a saloonkeeper. The ball enter
ed the neck and produced q probably
fatal injury. Hogan came into Cooks
saloon and began abusing Cook, when
the latter drew O revolver and shot him.
Hogan is q hard character.
j. W. Shannon, president OF the South
Dakota board Of regents, arrived in
Brookings a few days ago.. He will hear
both sides iii the %Brookings college trou-
bles, and, if the evidence warrants
a meeting'o OF the board, he will call it at
once. One hundred and fifty pupils are

State Engineer Fassett of South Da-
kota is making an earnest effort to
get a small portion OF the government
appropriation to the state agricultural
college for expenditure in Brown, Sphinx
and Beadle counties the present season,
for experimental irrigation purposes.
He would like to get $1,000 for each OF
these counties.
The cas- of Gray Bros. VS.. the City OF
Plankinton, which has been on trial III
the United States circuit court at Sioux
Falls, s. d., is concluded. The verdict
gives the plaintiff judgment for $4,115.
Gray Bros. bored an artesian well 1000
feet deep for the city, which resisted pay
ment on the ground that the flow was
not satisfactory.
The Injunction on the Arlington hotel
at Britton, S. d., has been raised up
on motion OF the county attorney. 1t
was closed under the prohibition law
after being searched, but the evidence
found was not sufficient to convict, and
upon guarantee Of the owner that in the
future no liquor should be sold, it was
thought best to open the house.
An attempt was made at Britton, s. D.,
q few nights ago to blow open the safe
at McDougall's meat market. A hole
was drilled in the top OF the safe and q
charge OF powder exploded, but it failed
to open the door. The notes, books, and
papers inside were badly burned but not
destroyed. Theteam, buggy and harness
Of D. T. Hindman are gone andhave pro-
badly been taken by the burglars.
Farmers all over South Dakota are
generally becoming owners OF large flocks
Of sheep, and their locks are the envy OF
the Eastern sheep raisers. W. G. Mead,
q farmer OF Sphinx county, says that in
the last fourteen days 63 OF his sheep
have had 1877 lambs, making a total OF
2O2 lambs and sheep. Someof the lambs
weighed at birth eleven and twelve
pounds, and next Christmas, when fat,
will bring from $3.50 to SIS per head.
The wool will bring about 81 per head
for the ewes. He has 100 more to lamb
yet, and has lost % lambs, and part OF
these through carelessncss. The sheep
raising industry is now beyond it's in
fancy in South Dakota, and the success
of those who are now owners OF large
flocks will induce hundreds OF farmers
who now own but few sheep to invest
larger sums Of money in this industry.
