E. f. Lindley of St Paul, right OF
way agent. and C. 2 Bates of Sioux
Falls, attorney of the Northwestern
Telephone Exchange Co., were in the
city yesterday. They succeeded in set
Ting all claims for right of way in a
manner satisfactory to all concerned
and without :appealing:: to the courts,
with the exception of the case of Philo-
meme Ricard, nonresident. Judge
Smith has been hearing this case this
morning, and just as we go to press
the jury brings in a verdict OF S.. SO
damages for Ricard. This is insignifi-
cant, but necessary to the company to
secure the needed right of way.
The company will not use the old line,
but put up a new one in its place, thus
making substantial and permanent con-
nections. The work will now be pushed
rapidly, and we are assured that Elk
Point will be given the long distance
accommodations early this fall.

Go down to the depot, and you will nd

unloading. When this is completed
and the train is in motion, so that the
train men cannot hinder him, you will
see your tramp swing in on the rods
under the car or crawl up on the
| trucks and on to the next station
! To feed these men indescriminatel
and without giving them work in re-
turn is simply to pay them bounty tt

these men are quite willing to work
while there are others that ought to bt
