The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1905-04-21


The mill is all torn up awaiting the
arrival of a lot Of new machinery.
Frank Zemllcka is bound to have
everything i n bang-up good shape to
make the best flour out.
Nine thousand two hundred horses
were placed on the Chicago horse
market during the first two weeks Of
the month of March. In view of the
number of horses marketed within the
short time mentioned, it is gratifying
to report that values we're not depre-
ciated to any great extent. All rec
ords of horse arrivals for a similar
reriod mentioned we're excellcd by the
events related above.
The GRAPHIC office has turned out
some advertising cards of j.. j. Boney's
handsome imported Percheron stallion
Basteln, which he recently bought of
Frank lams, st. Paul, Neb., and for
which Mr.. Boney had to put up big
money. The best is none too good for
him, he says, and farmers who want
the best should look at it m the same
way.
The active demand for well-bred
draft horses the past two years has set
the farmers with mares to thinking,
and the result is that quite Il number
OF full-blood sires Of the best strains
have been brought into the county
this spring, which will tend to i'm
prove the quality of the horses being
raised. There never has been any let
up, in fact, in the demand for heavy
horses and top coachers, and never
will be dispito all the gasoline buggies
and cars that are being put on the
market.
Last year, sometime, S. B. Moulton
borrowed a tent of w. b. Harker and
took 1T to Luverne. Mimi. On one Of
his stock expeditions. He left it at Il
barn where he was doing business, and
since then has written back about it
several times. Finally Mr.. Harker
stirred 'em up about his tent. Satur-
day night he received a little box of
ashes and a letter Of advise stating
that it was cheaper to cremate the
tent and send the ashes than to a
the express, 1t appears that the barn
burned recently and with it went the
tent.
When VIC see a m riding to the
polls to vote in a fine "kivered Her-
rige" with a plug hat on the driver
and the only opportunity perhaps in a
month of Sundays the poor woma
has a rldc-it reminds us of an Incl
dent that they tell about IN an Ohio
city where we spent u boyhood days.
There were two old maids, and tighter
than bark on a tree in money matters
thought they owned four fine houses
in tie heart of the city. A relative
died and a coach was provided for the
old maids. Returning from the Gem
etery, n OF them stuck her head out
OF the door of the coach and said to
the dryer Couldn't you take US a
little drive around town; it wouldn't
cost any more, would it?"
Oacoma Argus: Quite a number of
the stockmen of Medicine creek Hired
a man who had a ranch about West
over to take their cattle and winter
them. The man represented to them
that he had plenty of feed and assured
the stockmen that their cattle would
be well carried for. A few weeks &
they all went up to see how their cat
tile were getting along and when they
got there they found their lunches
gradually shrunken in number and
that the man who had taken them to
keep had fattened his pocket book
selling hides. 1t is reported that some
of the stockmen lost more than fifty
per cent of their cattle. AS cattle in
that vicinity wintered we'll it looks as
if the cattle must have had very poor
care and a little litigation is liable to
follow.
