1t cost Charles Jones, a resident
of Sphinx county, the sum of $3.50 for
making use of his teeth during a ply
steal encounter with a young man
named Lake. A jury in the state
circuit court returned a verdict find
ing Jones guilty of manning, and a
fine of $3.50 was imposed by the pre-
siding Judge. All of which leads us
to think that, if a nan must fight, he
had better run and if he cannot run,
he had better use a base ball bat.
An institution in this city of no
small Importance is the veterinary
hospital conducted by DR.. t. FL.
Ruth. The place was opened last
spring as soon as Mr.. Ruth returned
from Chicago where he graduated
from the best veterinary college in
the country. The doctor is a success
full practitioner as is proved by the
fact that he has had all the work he
could attend to The most serious
cases are taken into the hospital and
treated. This week there are six
horses and two dogs in the institution
Time was when horses were so cheap
that few ever considered treatment
for a sick animal, but with good
horses, selling at from S125t TO $3.50 it
is a matter of no small convenience
and saving to the community to be
able to secure the best veterinary
skill for animals that are indisposed.
"A very pleasant event to this
writer this week was the receipt of a
letter from Thos w. Bishop, of Salem.
The report was circulated a few days
before that be had suffered two strokes
of paralysis and was not expected to
recover The letter we received was
from the "Old Man" himself, and
stated that he was able to be about
and that he went up town twice day.
This writer is especially interested ia
this good news as we have always
found Mr.. Bishop n of the truest
friends we ever had. He gave us u
first lesson in the printing art and
several years later put the finishing
touches" on our education in that line.
We hope the recovery is permanent
and that the "Old Man will be as
good as eve for many years to come,
and in this wish we are joined by
many all over the state for Mr.. Bish-
OPP is one of the best known and
ablest newspaper men South Dakota
ever produced.
