reported to be rapidly improving and
are being transformed from lazy
drunken fellows to prosperous and
enterprising citizens.
A report from Kildeer mountains,
near Dickinson, says that there is
some variety of volcanic action TAX
ing place in the depths of the earth.
A distinct shock was felt one day
last week at the mountain and for
distance of fifteen miles in every di-
rection. Deep grumblings of the
earth with occasional explosions can
be distinctly heard, and those who live
near the base OF the mountains are
divided in their opinions whether to
be scared or not. If the mountain
continues to show signs of having a
toy volcano concealed under its outer
covering, it is probable that people on
the foothills and prairies will seek
refuge by fight.

following a couple of gun reports, it
was discovered that one of the big
plates had been pierced by bullet.
the effect of which was the gradual
cracking of the glass into numerous
pieces. 1t was surmised that the shots
had been fired, possibly, at pigeons
roosting on the water works tower
and that spent bullet had done the
mischief to the glass front-an ex-
.uensive accident for the proprietors.
The identity of the shootist is shroud-

Sherlock Holmes comes along and
takes the case in hand, it will prob.
ably remain so.
