The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1903-08-28

! The Alexandria ball team defeated
the Canaries at the former place last
tuesday by a score of 4 too. The
Canarles are not playing near as good
pail now as they did the first part of
the season and are getting beat right
along. They must have a pretty stiff
III at Alexandria, though.
We note by the Iona Pioneer that in
Eestigation into the death of some cat
tle near there by S. w. Smith OF Mitch
ell, deputy state veterinarian that he
pronounced the disease, anthrax. This
desease takes horses as we'll as cattle.
Most all the cattle IN the vicinity will
be Vaccinated with anthrax vaccine.
Charlie Grippin is here from Hot
Springs shaking hands with Ills
many friends. 1t has been twelve
years since Charlie left here with his
folks-a kid in knee breeches-and
now he's a big strapping fellow that
will weigh over two hundred. He is
at present travelling for a firm in
Sioux City.

STOCK, cuts and type to get you up an
attractive and SNOWY bill that will do

John r. Petrie, deputy United
States marshal, went through here
Tuesday morning bound for Sioux
Falls. having in charge six Indians,
charged with cutting timber on the
Lower Brule reservation. In order to
avoid a long wait in Jail pending trial
they had received permission from
Judge Garland to appear before him
and pl:ad guilty.
The city started at work at the
crosswalks again last Wednesday and
will put in six Of them before they
get through with it this time. That
will make every crosswalk on main
street of cement. Martin Van Zante,
who has been working with Shipman
Bros, at Plankinton and Chamberlain
for the past few weeks and has got
onto the way they are put in will
Superlntend the work.

Mitchell Republican: Prof. Geo.
A. Fry went out to Pierre this after
noon. He is a member of the state
examining board which marks all the
examination papers of the teachers
who took the examination Friday
and Saturday for the first and second
grade certificates. These are sent to
Pierre from all counties of the state,
ESQ that the markings will be uniform,
and will relieve the county superin-
tendents from any possible suspicion
that they show fayoritism in marking
papers.
In regard to the number Of weeds in
their town, the Geddes News gives us
the following:
Some say that is a great failure, but
it has been tried in some OF our
neighboring towns and proved a great
success. The effect of it's work is
most pleasing and greatly enhances
the beauty of any village. 1t; causes
those large yellow flowers, commonly
called ''sun flowers" in Kansas, to
tOpple over and fall to the ground.
Some say that with a milestone it is
sharpened. In the parlance of a
machinist its name is very Simple--it
is an instrument composed of a long
curving blade made fast to a handle
which is bent into convenient form
for swinging the blade to advantage
A Scythe.
What seemed a josh at first
really turned out to be serious, over at
Mt. Vernon the other day. A fellow
had his rubber-tired rig hitched in
front Of a store and was asked to price
the outfit. The owner said in a JOSH
ing way that ten dollars would be
about right and asked if he had the
price with HIM. Whereupon the in:
tended purchaser pulled out the
money and handed 1t to the owner
who showed 1T down his pocket. The
purchaser then demanded possession
of the buggy but was refused. Papers
have been gotten out for the possess
ion Of the buggy. 1t would seem that
If the purchaser had any witnesses
when he made the deal he will in the
end get possession of the buggy.
