a rough experience in Stromsburg, as re-
Gently reported in The Bee, are having a
cool reception here. Their delivery day
from the car was announced for Saturday,
and many new faces were that day seen
in town. The statesmen failed to raise the
required amCInt of cash that they might
obtain the bills of lading and their GUS
toners left dissatisfied. The eastern firm
turned the goods over to John b. Mitchell
OF Osceola to collect for them. Fred Schmd,
the proprietor of the City hotel, attached
the goods for a board bill. This bill was
reduced yesterday, however. for when one
of the men was eating his dinner the taY-
ern man took possession of his bearskin
overcoat which was hanging in the office
and received $40 to return It. Liveryman
Frank Custer pushed his claim in a differ

and threatened to fight two of his former
patrons. Seeing that he was in earnest
they gave him enough spices, extract and
ralsns to last his family lifetime.
