a former Rapid Cityite, sized up the

Frank P. Williams, formerly editor OF,
the RAPID City Republican, is writing Il
number Of shallow articles through the
local press, against the free coinage OF
silver. We do not mean to cast any re-
Fiction upon Franks intelligence, but
any argument on that side OF the ques-
ton could not help being shallow and
we do not lay the blame to him, as he is
simply the machine through which such
grists are run BY the power behind the
throne. He first tackled Levi MCGEE
through the Rapid City Journa, but
seems to have taken some otfense at
McGee's reply. Since then he has fired a
few slack wads through the Mining Re-
view OF Deadwood.

county, made the, UNION a pleasant call
on May ID. He reports crops in that

one magnificent colt measures twenty
six inches high and weighs twenty-four
pounds. Another twenty-eight inches
in heigth, and weighs twenty-eight
pounds. Friend Mcpherson states that
he has some very desirable Hereford
bulls to dispose CT at reasonable prices.
