A Menhnite colony, sixteen miles
southeast OF Parkston had a close
call from poisoning a few days ago.
| Some OF the men had caught a mess
of fish and had prepared them for
their Sunday dinner. and the cook
took several pieces and put poison in
them for rats, laying them aside. As
is the custom of the colony they
charged cooks on Sunday, and the
new cook, seeing the meat, gathered
it up and put it with the rest Of the
fish for dinner. But fortunately the
other cook noticed the poisoned meat
was gone and made inquiries. A
piece OF the cooked fish was given to
a dog and in five minutes it was dead.
Prospectors Wenner and Kroksh
are still at work on the old steam
boat which was found IL feet below a
sandbar in the Missouri river, near
Elk Point recently, and which was
sunk 35 years ago. The men have
made very little progress during the
past two or three weeks, owing to the
insufficient casing of their shaft and
to the lack of strength OF their water
buckets. Both these defects have
been cured, and they hope to reach
the object OF their ambition within a
short time. There is considerable
speculation "a to whether the whisky
in the hold of the steamer will be
found in good condition.
