Scotland Republican: G. M. Reed
with his wife and brother. in-law visit
ed friends near Mitchell last week.
Mr.. Reed thinks the wheat will yield
better in Dawson county than it will
around here. The straw was not 30
rank and consequently did not break
down 80 badly as here. The corn crop,
though looking very we'll, is not as
good as it is here.
Harvesting in Sphinx county is prac-
tically completed and some threshing
OF shocked grain is being done in the
northern part of the county. General
indications are that the crop will av-
erage nearly as much in yield as last
year. However great deal of wheat
is shrunken and there will be very little
No. l wheat marketed in that section of
the state. The above is the opinion
of a gentleman from Redfeld who was
in the city today.
Jos. Levinger, who has been indenti-
fed with the business intrests of Mitch
ell for number of years, and is at
present one OF the county commission
ers, has accepted position in the de.
partment store of Davidson Bros of
Sioux City, and expects to go there tho
latter part of the week. leaving Mrs.
Lsvinger and the children to go later.
The REPUBLICAN regrets the depar-
ture of Mr.. Levinger, with whom we
have had pleasant business relations
during the years he has been in business.
We certainly trust he will be successful
in his new duties at Sioux City. he is
a thorough and careful business man
and we believe will be of great service
to the firm by whom he is employed.
While on his trip with the National
Editorial Association out in Oregon
Clate Tinau met two former Mitchell
people at Ashland, and in q letter to
the Kimball Graphic he refers to them
in this way: "You can Judge of Mrs.
Us astonishment and my own, when we
were sitting at table busily engaged
with two big dishes of raspberries, to
have Mrs. Marietta Miller step up and
greet us. Mrs Miller is sister-in-law
OF F. E. Miller, formerly lived in north
western Aurora county, then in Mitch
ell, now making her home with her
brother, J. H. Rogers, Coulterville,
Cal. Mrs. Miller happened to be- at
Ashland visiting her aunt, Mrs. E.
Crary. Grant Crary, formerly of
Mitchell, is running summer resort
hotel about sixty miles from Ashland. :"
Postoffice Inspector Woods has been
sent to this territory to run down the
band of robbers, which has made q
number of raids in this part of the
state, and has commenced on the recent
robbery at Artesian. A good descrip-
tion OF three strangers, who were in
Artesian on the. day OF the robbery,
has been obtained. A reward of 5000
has been offered for information which
will lead to the arrest and conviction of
the men. The money taken from the
office had been sealed up for shipment
the next morning, and accordingly the
number and denomination of every bill
is known to the authorities, and the
thieves will have difficulty in getting
rid of the money without detection.
There were total of seven bills in the
package, five OF the denomination of
$40, one Of $40 and one OF $5.
