Moved Shack and Owner.

The Steele Ozone tells a story OF a
shack moving bee that was not as fun
ny at the end as it was at the start. 1t
occurred recently in Kidder county.
1t appears that there was very pre-
sentable claim shack in certain
neigborhood, and some parties, think
ing it was one of those cases where
the fler on a claim did not intend to
"make good," decided, in case the
man did not show up about the time
they though his time was due, to ap-
propriate the shack for their own
use.
So one day, early in the morning,
they hove on the scene with sufficient
teams to pull the building away.
They ibid not stop to inquire about
anything nor look around the premis-
is, but raised the corners, made fast
the tackle and started the teams.
Everything went all right and there
was no "holler" from anywhere as the
mansion moved serenley over the rich
turf. of Kidder county to it's destined
location.
Arrived at the spot, some four miles
distant, the men decided that the
building was in about the right place,
and started to unhitch, when to their
surprise the owner opened the door
and appeared on the scene. He in
formed them who he was and also
that he did not want to come 50 far
from his work on the claim to eat
and sleep. That the movers were sur
prised goes without saying very
strongly. There was nothing to do,
and no use making any complaints,
so they merely turned the heads of
the horses and pulled the house back
to where they had so merrily hitched
to it.
What the men said as they returned
to their homes is not recorded, but it
is safe to say that the smile on the
face OF the shack owner was a wide
one as he watched them depart. :He
had been awakened when the corners
were pried up and lay still to see how
far they would 90.
