came by the way of Parker.
Redfeld Journal: Reports from all
over the county show that a good rain
would be very acceptable everywhere.
Around Redfeld crops of small grain
are seriously damaged as they are
south ana west Of here. In the east
and north nothing is suffering yet but
a good rain would be welcome. The
corn crop never looked better at this
time OF year. A good stand is the
ruling condition and a large acreage
has been planted.
With a fearless and honest Judge
like Frank Smith on the bench, back
ed by officials and settlers lust like
him, Lyman county for the first time
appears to stand a show OF Kidding it,
self OF the gang Of thieves which have
driven many honest settlers out Of
there and made life a burden to those
who remained. The last term of Court
convicted six Indians and two white
men Of horse stealing and they are
now all in the Sioux Falls pen.
/. A. Weeks is limping around with
an injured foot, the result OF a mishap
with his driving team a week ago to-
day. Mr.. Weeks got out OF the buggy
to hold down some wires on a fence
while the team crossed. The wire
struck a foot on one of the horses,
frightened the team and away they
went. In attempting to hold the team,
Mr.. Weeks was caught on the wire.
The team circled the enclosed field
several times but broke nothing but
the pole.
Willow Lake elected a couple of
women upon its new school board and
the way some of the Willow Lake
folks were grinning about it in town
Saturday it seemed as though some
body is mighty tickled. The new
board consists of C. u. McKittrick,
Mrs. Alice Husman and Mrs. Flora
Morris. This should make a very sat-
isfactory board. We hear that there
has been some trouble out there over a
school board, but it is to be hoped
that the matter has been satisfactorily
settled.
The Sioux City Journal ran a series
Of half tone cuts OF prominent Iowa
editors which resulted in considerable
good natured joshing at the expense Of
the Iowa scrtbes. The Journal il
now running pictures OF South Dakota
editors and the Iowa fellows are com
} ing back at us. Here's one from the
funny kus on the Britt Tribune:
The Sioux City Journal is trying 3
!, dangerous experiment.. Having sue
ceeded in getting the Iowa editors anG
Iowa judges photographed and theiI
pictures through the presses without
) experiencing an explosion, they have
now tackled the South Dakota editors
pictures. They are a tough looking
set thus far, but the. laws being s.
strict very few of them are active
!, horse thieves at the present time.
