Rate for Small Force.

New cement 81 idewalks in the resi-
dence part Of the city are being laid
at.a rapid IA te3 when the small force

Gcttlieb Scheurenb nbrand stated that
if he could get couple more experts
in laying these walks he could give
them plenty of work to do, as he has n
contracts enough ahead to keep them
all busy. Practically ALL the ce-
ment walk building is being done IN i
the residence part. Of the city and 4
there will be no limit to the amount
that will be DONE 5ss55s y

II. Turneaure, Henry Koch, DR.. s.
J. Moore, Samuel Webber, and today
he finished up a walk for G. w. john
ston on the south side 70 The Mitch
Tell.
Mr.. Scheurenb brand expects to
keep at the cement walk building
until just as latein the year as pos
sible and he expects to lay more ce-
2Iment walk this year than last. Ina
matter of3two or three years there

drove into town and tied his team at

They arrived in the vicinity OF what
was known as Firesteel in those

first blacksmith in this section Of
the country and he'said that people
who were breaking prairie land
would bring their ploWs to him for
sharpening from distance Of 80 to
a hundred miles. He had quite al
monopoly On the business and his.
work always gave satisfaction to the
people who came such long dis
3tances. They came to Mitchell in
1880. when there was very little Of a
town on the present site. He started
a blacksmith shop and followed the
trade for d number OF years. Nh.

He was bound over to await the action of the grand jury, and pending that action was released on bond of $3,O0O. He is son of Mayor Thompson of that city. The evidence adduced tends to show that he acted in self defense.
