In an account of the campfire held
at Sibley the Sibley Herald says:
"Commander j. K. p. Thompson
department of Iowa, of Rock Rapids,
and District Commander j. A. Town,
of Worthington, delivered each an
excellent address. Their speeches
were full of spirit of loyalty and pat.
riotism and were closely listened to
by a large audience and greeted with
salvos of hearty applause. Capt
Town is regimental comrade of Dr.
Neill, of this city-in the Fourth
Minnesota Infantry. The captain
spoke part of the time in a facetious
vein and kept up a perfect fusiIade
of fun and jollity. Captain Town is
one of the best reunion speakers in
the North Star state, and the visit OF
the two veterans from Rock Rapids
and Worthington added greatly tc
the success of the campfire and was
thoroughly appreciated by L. G. Ire:

The ''mad dog" scare has not abat-
ed during the past week. Last Fri.
day COW owned by William Vague
just east of town, showed symptoms
of rabies, and on Sunday the disease
was so we'll developed that the ami.
NAL was ordered shot by the board Of
health. It is supposed that the COW
was bitten by the dog which has been
the fountain head of all tho trouble
but this is probably mere conjecture,
since there appears to be no reliable
information on the subject. The 10,
cal board of health has ordered the
dogs muzzled and appointed F. W.
Ellsworth official exterminator, and
up to the present over dozen canine
scalps dangle at his belt. Unfortu.
nately several valuable dogs escaped
from their owners before they could
be muzzled, but the officer of the Law
has been impartial and killed every
unmuzzled canine that came his way

The little iron safe was securely locked.
Having removed all the explosives from
the car, this experienced mountaineer
quietly blew up the safe with few
sticks of dynamite, but there was no
money in it. By the light of the engi-
neers torch he managed to read letter
that had been left there by the messen-
ger, and which was addressed to the ex-
press agent AS the explorer finished
reading it he gave low, soft whistle Of
surprise-not much above Whisper
for he was q quiet, undemonstrative
man.
From the car he returned to the en-
CINE and with tho clinker hook fished
an old clay stained ore sack out Of the
tank. When he had cached the sack In
the bed of the river, he hurried away
in the direction of the junction, urging
his horse over the rough ground as
though he were bent upon new and
important mission.
