COWBOYS ON a Spree.

A number of cowboys were.in Pierre a
few days ago with the cattle which We're
being started for the Chicago market, and
after the trains were gone, proceeded to
enjoy life in their own style. Several OF
them captured the outfit OF blind organ
grinder and proceeded TO do business for
him. They were not backward i'll pro-
claiming that they were in the business
for the cash there was in it and did not
allow any Of their crowd to get away
without donation, and it is safe to say
that the organ made more money for its
owner the short time the cowboys were
running it than ever it has in the same
time before.

creditors 10000. This was the largest
fruit shipping concern in northern and

and untimely rains are given as the cause
for the failure, the crops being too light
for profitable handling.
