excited over the mail sub-contracts;
the mails are loaded down with bids

CRIMES OF HOLMES

murdered by the ch-conspirator, II.

this city awaiting trial ON the charge
OF conspiracy to defraud the Fidelity
Life Insurance association of $40, OO0.
This amount was obtained by Lawyer
Jeptha d. Howe of st. Louis, repre-
senting the family of B.F. Pietzel, who
it is alleged was killed in this city by
an explosion of chemical, who had
shortly before been insured in the
Fidelity company. 1t is probable that
the charge against Holmes will be
changed from conspiracy to murder, Is
it is generally believed that Pietzel is
really dead and that Holmes murdered

has a contract for surveying coded lands
in Gregory and Todd counties and the
abandoned Fort Randall reservation.
Mr.. Bates will also establish the eastern
boundary of the Rosebud. 1t is in this
section that many settlers have long
waited for a survey that would enable
them to properly bound their claims,
and not a few are deeply grieved be-
cause their lines run otherwise than
where they expected, thus cutting of
IN some instances much Of the cultivat-
ed lands. Other surveyors will work in
the Rosebud, Lower Brule and Pine
Ridge agencies for Indian allotment pur-
poses. Nearly 100000 acres are includ-
ed In these surveys. Deputy Hartger-

Routed the Bull.

A lumberman attached to John
Crane's-cNnp, mp beyond the Katahdin
Iron works in Maine, was tramping
across to a pond late Tone November
evening when he ran upon a bull moose
The lumberman had no rife, SO he
yelled and waved his arms expecting
that the broad antlered bull would dash
fear stricken down the mountain. But
it didn't. 1t rushed for the lumberman.
He lodged about q tree and dropped his
ak. For ten minutes he lodged, half
scared to death. Then he climbed the
tree.
The bull butted the tree with its ant
lers until it swayed to and fro, and then
walked away a few yards and rested.
The lumberman yelled some more. When
he could yell no longer, he set his wits
to work. Just above him was a dead
limb. He broke it of, and as the bull
advanced again he set the wood afire and
dropped it ON the bulls back. With a
below it ran down the mountain. The
half frozen lumberman made a line for
camp-New York World.

have told of a mysterious city mirrored
against the northern sky-stately build
ings III choice architecture, tall and i'm

anything we know about. Whether the
foundation of this mirage is a reality
and only unrecognizable because Of
transposition, as to directions, whether
it is a work Of some mysterious remnant
Of our race that once occupied the pole,
or whether this is some fanciful feature
of the frost, as the peculiar shrubbery
we see ON the window pane-whatever
this is, it must be consigned to the per-
picking enigmas of the unknown region.
Who knows but some spot, once the the
alter Of busy and advanced human life,
