ALL A MISTAKE. There was cold
blooded rumor in circulation Monday,
to the effect that when the sheriff
arrived at the Insane Asylum with
his proteges, the authorities did not

RIVERSIDE M1LL.-Work on the re-
pair on the dam at H. w. Stone &
Co.'s Mill, has been pushed forward
at a lively rate, during the past week
and the mill will be ready to receive
grists this morning. It is the in

have received the watchmans clock.

lever is pulled hole is picked in the

vicinity. The clock is to be wourd, set
and locked by some one person and
is so arranged that it can not be
tempered with.

this spring set out nearly 1900
cottonwood, elm, box-elder and maple
trees, and has forty acres in the same
section under crop, which will be
ready another season for more cut
ings. A large number of St. Pauis
