A woman giving her name as Mrs.
Nealy has been working several real
estate firms in Pierre successfully the
past ten days. She claimed to have
disposed of property in Aberdeen but
for which the money would not be
paid until the title could be passed
on, and that she desired to re-invest
the money in Pierre. After looking
yer the list of property for sale by
the agent she selected what she want

deem deal was closed. One of the VIC
Tins figured it out that so far as he
knew she had netted about $3.50, and
that only included those who would
admit they had been caught, and did
not include anyone keeping still.
The first direct shipment Of live
stock from west of the Missouri River
over the Northwestern road was made
last week. with a train of cattle and
sheep which were loaded in the new
yards at Fort Pierre. The cattle were
shipped by Manuel sylvia, who took
five cars to the Chicago market, n
the sheep were eight cars which were
gathered up about Newlin.
Complaints are being made as to
the actions of Sioux Indians, who
gather at frequent intervals, especially
on Sunday, on what is known as Beebe
island, situated in the Missouri River.
The island belongs to some Platte
men. who have opened a saloon there.
AS the place is easy of access to the
Indians of the surrounding region
they gather there in large number
and engage in drunken c~arousals. The
Indians have taken their a~llotnlents
and therefore, under the decision of
the United States supreme court, they
can . ,rchase all the liquor, they want.
