A gent came over from Griggs county a
few evenings ago to help break the mOnGtOny
Of ljacheiordOm for one OF our citizens, and
after Eupper-lo and behold! his horse and
buggy had hccamDed. He wended his home
ward road on foot and soon found the robe
that had covered the horse from the chilly
night air, and after going down the hil! into
the SEey aniia valley and turning up the river,
john soon found the horse and buggy all
curiel I'D in a little heap in one Of the tribu-
talies of the Shcyenne. After searching pock-

cnly few years ago with a large family OF
small children to support; and nothing but a
willing pair OF hands to support them with, is
a genuine rustlor. He has made good show

He has a horse team, three mich COWS and a
lot of young stock growing up around him,
pigs, chcknns &C., and necessary farainc
utnsei:. He was not satisfied with cultiyat-
ing his homestead, laD acres of land, so this
season he purchased 30 acres more adjoining
his homestead and did consderab bic breaking
on that, and ho is anticipating big crop CT
No. hard wheat for next season. The old
adage runs-''it takes ScOtchman to get rich
in North Dakcta."
