on Pierre street, which have been
bought by Binder & Borst and John
Lockhart jointly. George H Broate
made the sale, and the new owners ex-
pect, as soon as the grade matter is
definitely determined, which will be
very soon, to at once commence the
erection of big three story block
which will accommodate the hardware
business of Binder & Borst in one of
the big store rooms, and the grocery
and crockery store of Lockhart's in the
other, leaving some handsome office
rooms for rent in the upper floors. In
few weeks the walls of this big new
block will be going up, it is reasonably
certain.
Colonel Parker and wife, of Dead
wood, were stopping at the Locke Fri
day. the colonel being here on supreme
court business, AS an attorney. Colonel
Parker used to visit Pierre years ago
when he had to ride across from Dead
wood on the Concord coaches, before
the advent of railroads to the Black
Hills The colonel is nice gentleman,
a thorough westerner, and is the man
who will succeed our townsman, Hon.
g. I'll. Burke, in congress, mnch to the
regret OF many Pierretes and South
Dakotans generally. While Colonel
Parker is a good man in all respects,
we are fan to believe that Charlie
Burke is better man for congress and
If it had not been for the efforts of GER
tain malcontents in Pierre MIR. Burke
would have gone back to congress.
The walls Of the second story of the
new three story Hyde business block at
the corner of Pierre street and Capitol
avenue. are going up, while the one
story department store on the south
is being enclosed. The foundations of
the big new opera house Mr.. Hyde is
building are nearly laid, and from this
time forward this enterprise will be
pushed for all there is in it, Mr.. Hyde,
who spent a few days in Aberdeen last
week, and went out into the country
north to sell u few thousand acres OF
fine land to investors Monday, is about
as busy man as there is in the state.
He is taking personal charge Of the i'm
mense building operations now going
on, besides attending to his other multi
farious duties. Mr.. Hyde is a good
man for Pierre.
Last Wednesday night two boys,
George Jeffres and Arthur Copely,
we're caught pilfering goods from the j.
G. Eager department store in the kar-
cher block, Night Policeman Core
having discovered them in the act.
Emil AmscheI was also arrested as an
accomplice. The preliminary hearing
of the boys was held Saturday and con-
Guided Monday, before Police Justice
Yarnell, who bound Jeffries and Copley
over to the circuit court in $500 bonds,
which were promptly furnished. Am
schell was discharged, the evidence
against him not being sufficient This
is bad case of young men going
wrong, and it is hoped they realize the
enormity of the otfense they have com
mitted.
A week ago Sunday the Pierre aggre.
CATION of ball-tossers, with considerable
self-conceit. went over to Fort Pierre
and got done up in game which re-
suited in a score of two to three. Last
Sunday they invited their Fort
Pierre friends over to the Pierre dia
mond and wreaked bloody revenge to
the tune of nine to one. Neither side
is satisfied, however, and as both sides
have some swift players it is certain
some good ball playing will be wit
messed in both towns the coming sum
mer, as the material is certainly here.
Both towns could combine team that
would make any ball nine in the state
go some, and then some.
At Fort Pierre Monday forenoon,
| Rev. Fr. Stencil united in marriage
| Jefferson w. McCullen to Miss Julia
| Sylvia, under the rites of the Catholic
church. The ceremony was witnessed
| by number of invited friends, as well
as the relatives of the contracting per
sons. The bride is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Manuel Sylvia, and young
lady of character and many good quail
| ties. Mr.. McCullen is quite we'll known
i'll this city, where he has a good stand
ing as a young man of integrity and
good business qualities. May success
be theirs.
