l.. o. Gale is widening the cement
sidewalk from the corner of Main
ana Second streets west to the alley,
along the side of his new business
property.
Mrs. G. J. Bliss departed this
morning for Richford, Vt, to make
a visit of a couple of months at her
former home. She was accompanied
by Mrs. Will Ryan, Of Letcher, who
also formerly lived at Richford.
NJ. L. Bobb, the clerk of the courts,
IS Still very sick at his lone on
west Third street. Some weeks ago
ne suffered a partial stroke of paraly-
Sis while in his Office and ever since
then he has been gradually failing in
health, His many friends in the city
and county will be very sorry indeed
to learn of his poor condition.
The travel over the Milwaukee
road to the northern part Of the state
is something unprecedented. For
some time the Milwaukee has been
running three coaches into Mitchell
from the east and south, but the
extra ones were left off of each train
at this point and they are picked
up each morning. These coaches
are now carried through to Cham
berlain and Aberdeen to accOmmo-
date the extra amount of travel,
and Wednesday each Of these trains
carried four coaches through to the
north and west points.
A large party Of land seekers
passed through the city early Wednes-
day morning over the Milwaukee
road from points in Illinois and
Iowa and were bound for White
Lake. The company furnished the
party a sleeping car and a coach in
which to make the trip and both
were filled. The party was taken
out to White Lake under the care
of B. L. Woodward. Arrangements
had previously been made to give the
landSeekerS a fine time. On a big
ranch a few miles out of town a bar
becue was prepared yesterday for the
men. They will be shown the coun-
try all around White Lake and doubt
less some investments will be made
5 before the party leaves the country.
Henry Noble, one of the Milwau-
kee engineers, who runs between
Mitchell and Aberdeen, says that un-
less a certain practice Of jumping o r
and off trains by the young boys is
stopped there will doubtless be a
funeral, or a surgical operation
] for some to perform. The trair
from the north stops down neal
Sanborn street in order that the
switch can be turned to get in or
l the main line. Mr.. Noble says that
nearly every day there are from
six to eight boys hanging aroune
there to jump OF and get a ride
down to the depot. SeVera
times he has noticed that some O.
the boys barely saved their footing
! while jumping on the train while il
t was in motion. Doubtless there are
many parents in the city who have
little idea that their boy is indulg
ing in this sort Of sport, and an &C
! cident might be saved by a little in
: uuiry or watchfullness.
| The Mitchell ball club will have
e no particular snap, when the boy
play the Indians of Chamberlain II
the two games next Monday ant
Tueday. The Indians played Plank
t linton a few days ago and defeated
! them by a score of II to 4. Mitchell
| defeated PlankintOn one and playe'
: a tie game the second time, although
t but six innings we're played and eacl
side claimed that they would hav'
won it the game had been playe'
/ out. Baker will be in the box TO
Mitchell and it is expected that tn
old and mighty Mike Nancy will b.
q at the receiving end OF the battery
t On Monday and Tuesday evening
S the Indians will give a concert a
the corr palace. They will brin
, along their band Of thirty. piece
: and the two days of sports and must
should attract a large crowd to tn
e events.
