A fellow came into town very
early one morning the latter part
of last week and inquired for the
sheriff. The sheriff lives some dis
lance from the court house and
some of the court house officials
called him over the phone. When
he arrived at his Office he found a
rather woe begone looking in
dividual awaiting him. The sheriff
asked hun what he wanted and he
replied that he wanted to give him.
self up. He was informed that
there was no warrant for him and
he was asked what he had been
doing. He replied that he had
been talking too much and again
insisted on the sheriff taking
charge of him. He was questioned
as to where he lived and replied
that he lived at Sawyer's Mill, in
Iron county. He was referred to
the Iron county officials and he
departed forthwith for Ironton.-

1t is reported that parties resid-
ing on Sinking Creek, some five
miles south of here, recently found
a considerable amount of money
several hundred dollars-that had
been buried in the ground for
many years. The story goes that
it had been known for many years
that there was considerable money
buried in the ground somewhere
in the vicinity of where the al
legged find was made, but no one
knew the exact spot and all efforts
to locate il failed. Finally the
"Wayne county wizard" Mrs.
Forbes, was appealed to and tits
said that she described the exact
spot where the money was, so that
all that was necessary for the
party to do who consulted her was
to return home, get a pick and
shovel and proceed to the spot de-
scribed and uncover the box con-
tanning the coin-gold and silver.
But there were others who had
heard of the hidden money and
likewise the "wizard of Wayne"
and they, too, journeyed forth to
learn from her where the money
was located. She gave the same
description to them and they tar
ried not, but returned home at
once, and found the coveted hid
den treasure. Now it's said there
is likely to be a law suit for the
possession of the find.-Reynolds

I went to Bismarck on New
Years day, making the trip on
the local freight. My appointment
was for Monday night, but the
passenger trains run SO regularly
late, except when their uncertainty
is accumulated by being still later,
that, after consultation with the
two parties over whom / was placed
in charge, we determined to take
the railway schedule by the fore
lock and the noon "local" at one
and the same time. The train
started on time. and landed us

We took in the town during the
afternoon, and we're surprised at
it's extension and improvement
since our last visit there. Several
fine brick business buildings filed

town, we returned to the hotel and
there met several friends and ac-

Aug. Block, and others. These
made it so pleasant for us that

of our previousness. They had a
masque ball that night which was
very largely attended and enjoyed
without jar or unpleasantness. To
it we repaired after an appetizing
supper at the hotel, excellently
served, fully fortified for the labor
awaiting us. All night long the
