It is reported that a herd of
buffalo was found at the head of
the Cedar river. This heard con-
sists of 45 head, composed of Is
full grown and the remainder
calves and yearlings. There is a
heavy penalty for killing these
animals and the people of that
section should see that the law is

heavy storms.
The last legislature passed a law
authorizing the appointment of
c~onservators for drunkards or
spendthrifts in certain cases. The
law provides that where it is shown
to the county court that any man
is an habitual drunkard or spend
thrift, the defendant may be cited
to appear as in applications for the
appointments of guardians for
minor persons, and that conser-
vators may be appointed, who may
exercise over the defendants the
same authority as of guardians
over wards. The first practical
application of the law has been
made in Cass county, where a wife
has made application for the ap-
pointment of q conservator for her
husband.

Less Wheat in Cavalier.

Milton Globe.
Owing to the wet fall and late
spring there is a great deal of
blowing yet to be done, and as a
consequence the acreage of wheat
sown will be smaller than for years,
The acreage of fax, barley and
oats will be larger than usual, and
at the prevailing prices these are
far better paying crops than wheat.
