west Of town--the air being calm there
was no apparent danger-when all at
once a whirlwind made it's appearance
and scattered the fire in every direction.

Last Friday evening a number of the
frien0s of Miss Grace Bryant inaugu-
rated a genuine surprise on her and took
possession of that hospGable home.
There were games of various kinds to
make the night merry, and plenty of
refreshments to add to the enjoyment.
Some of the young folks had such a
good time that they are talking about it
yet. Soon after the midnight hour the
party dispersed, wishing Miss Grace
Godspeed in the vocation she was soon
to assume in Minneapolis.-Andover
Gazette.

vened in Sioux Falls Tuesday, Ed And
erson, an Indian, of Enemy Swim, who
on Saturday pleaded guilty to an indict-
ment charging him with forging the
name of the payee to a POSTAL money
order, appeared to receive his sentence.
Assistant United Statea Attorney Porter
stated that there were extenuating cir
cumstances connected with the case, and
asked the leniency of the court in pro-
