have, while absent, been making
extensive arrangements for hunting,
which glance at their rooms will

improved patterns, razor edged bowie
knives, silver-plated reyolvers of
various calibres, belts, cartridges, and
the various paraphernalia which go

A sensational horse stealing took
pace at Herman last Tuesday, which
resulted in the successful capture of
the culprits and their incarceration in
the Grant county Jail. Deputy
Sheriff Cater came over from Grace
vile on the afternoon train and in
company with Frank Zahl left for
Perman, from which place he had re-
cieved telegram stating that two
horse thieves were surrounded in a
corn field and his services were neces-
sary in their capture. When they
arrived upon the scene they found a
corn field in the vicinity of Herman
where the thieves we're hidden, COM
pletely surrounded, by men, women
and children armed with bowie knives,
shot guns, revolvers and other
dangerous weapons. There was no
avenue Of escape, and the fugitives
being unarmed they captured
without resistance, and turned over
to the authorities.
The thieves gave their names as
Frank Hutchinson and Arthur Kale,
aud had been working on the farm of
Widow Thorne, where they stole the
horses, for everal week.. They were
taken at once to Herman and placed
in safe keeping while the horses
which we're found tied to a fence post
near the corn field, were returned to
their rightful owner.

village recorder serve notice on all
property owners having property on
the cemetary road, requesting them
to build sidewalks AUDITING their

taken.
J. H. Devenney was appointed a
committee of one to consult with the
Great Northern railroad authorities,

appointed by the council to superin-

AT THE State FAIR
STEVENS COUNTY TAKES NINTH
PLACE in EXHIBITS.

: Mr.. Wheaton Succeeds in Landing
Several of the Individual Prizes.
Hessler Gets a Prize Also.
D. T. Wheaton returned Monday
from the state fair after successful
two weeks work in preparing and
exhibiting Stevens county's specimens,
While Mr.. Wheaton was successful
. in securing only ninth place in
; exhibits, he took several individual
prizes, amounting in all to nearly
SITS, Mr.. Wheaton's car was de-
layed in some way, and did not reach
the fair grounds until the Saturday
before the fair, leaving only two days
in which to arrange the exhibit, but
with the aid of several assistants he
had his display in readiness for the
opening day. On account OF the de-
lay severel of his fruit specimens and
other perishable goods we're uufit for
use upon their arrival. Had the car
arrived Thursday as Mr.. Wheaton
expected, giving him four days in
which to arrange his exhibit, Stevens
county, no doubt, would have taken
seventh place at least.
He found it very difficult to pro-
cure suitable specimens this year, as
the growth of grains, fruit and vege'
tables was exceptionally even, and
with but few exceptions his speci-
mems were little above the average of
the field and gardens from which
they were gathered, Mr.. Wheaton
deserves a great deal Of credit for the
interest he has taken in this work,
and taking into consideration the
mishaps and scarcity of specimens, it
must be conceded that he did we'll in
landing ninth place.
The individual prizes taken by
Stevens county are as follows:
Wheat, first.
Black barley, first and second.
Oats, side panicIe, second.
Spring Rye, third.
Buckwheat, second.
Flax, second.
Flax fibre, first.
Timothy grass, third.
Bronze Grass, straw, second.

the southern counties, while the corn
acreage increases yearly. Small
grains grown here are among the
best. Mr.. Wheaton is already laying
plans for next years exhibit and
will not stop short of first place.

dianaVian House.

Victor Anderson, for more than
fifteen years a resident Of Stevens
county, died at the Scandinavian
house in Morris, last evening, Of
brain fever. During the summer he
had serious trouble with his eyes,
and although he had been receiving
thu lest of treatment, the physicians

Finally his work became so crude that mass meeting of the citi- zens was called and resolutions were adopted, denouncing him as a fraud and advising him to va cate the city.

We showed the statements in the Times-Echo as copied by the Arkansas Gazette, 26th inst, to Engineer A. H.

The development of our mineral resources will also receive proper consideration by this company.-Boone Banner.
