eoMesHELL, AN ARTILLERY DOG

While n gun was being loaded, Bomb

would jump up and look out to sea over

from the parapet and follow us INTO

As usual, Bombshell was on hand to
see the test of the new big gun.
He superintendent the loading, and,
while | was aiming tue gun, lie looked
over the range as carefully as did the

But when we started for the bomb
proof, instead of following lis. as was
his custom, Bombshell remained on II
parapet, looking out to sea and SHINING

1t Means.

Chamberlain, 8. D., Jan. Wv. T.
Coad Of Rapid City, the promoter of the
Dakota and Wyoming railroad. reports
that the road will be built: that the
bonds to complete the first thirty-two
miles. from Rapid City to Mystic. have
been sold, and that all contracts have
also been signed.
Mr.. Coad doe not know Just when
work will be resumed, but 1t will be In

the west and the Missouri river on the
east. thus giving the Black Hills q de
rect route to the eastern portion OF the
state and the eastern markets.
Chamberlain Is the point on the Mis-
souri, river to which this road will be
built. and the construction of the line
to this point will be OF material benefit
to Chicago and Sioux City, as 1t will
bring both cities much nearer the Black
Hills than the present circuitous route
Through Nebraska, or the railroad which
the twin cities are agitating from the
city of Pierre westward. h constrlc-
ton of the latter road would practically
give the twin cities a monopoly of the
immense Black Hills trafic-now held
by Omaha condition of affairs to
which the jobbers Of Chicago and Sioux
City cannot afford to submit.
The fact hat the route from this city
to the Black Hills is the most feasible,
traversing as it does a region suitable
for both agricultural and stock raising
v,,VpNoau o~1 ol,.aary,, solo Atto1 l,~, sn.,
eral thousand settlers, and with i'm
mense herds of cattle dotttng every
plain, renders it safe to predict that the
first railroad to extend from the Mis-
souri, river to the Black Hills will have
its river terminus at Chamberlain.
Soundings have also demonstrated that
Chamberlain is the best point in the
state for the construction of a bridge
across the Missouri river. The intro
duction Of bills in the United States SEN
ate and house for permission to con-
struct a railroad and wagon bridge
across the river at this point is now be-
lieved to have been at the request of the
capitalists who are backing Mr.. Coad.
The fact, also. that the bills as intro
duced provide that the work shall begin

would indicate hat those behind the
enterprise are acting in the best of faith.
Mr.. Coad has sacrificed his law practice
and four years of his time to the promo
ton of such a line. and now that he has
interested capitalists in the enterprise
his efforts should and will be crowned
with success.
