time. BE will leave there so as to be
at West Point on Aug. % to take the ex-
animation as alternate. Should Stuart
OF Cham berlain fail and Laurson passes

ol1ference between the two young men.

There is strong, and it is commenda-
BILE, disposition among Mitchell citizens
to own their homes, and the instances
are numerous this year of property
transfers. b. G. Clark, who has occu-
pied the Belts property on Rowley and
Fifth streets for some time concluded
to buy the place and Thursday closed
up the transaction with Mr.. Belts.
This is the third sale that has taken
place in the past week, and we under
stand there are several that are likely
to be completed. Residents show good
faith in their town by Investing in res
ldence property and this action on the
part OF 80 many admits of more i'm
provements and better looking homes.
Base ball is rampant in many parts
OF the state, and so excitable have the
hackers of clubs become that they
are sending east for players and blow
ing in good money. The town of Webs
ter has club which has been beating
everything that has come up against
them, most of the players being pro-
fessionals. The Webster nine came
down in the south part of the state and
went up against the Sioux Falls cub,
which had bsen fitted out with q COM
plete set of professionals, and they cap.
tured two straight games, the first be-
Ing to 8, and the second 8 to 2. Sew.
eral other towns in the state have
secured strong clubs and there is q
great strife among them to secure
games with each other, the main diff.
Guilty being that they are located 30 far
apart that it costs too much for trans.
portation, unless games with inter.
mediate towns can be secured.
