years in the Congo, and who resigned

Some Of the more radical residents
of the little town Of Lane, situated on
the Milwaukee railroad in the eastern
part of Jerauld county, promise coat
OF tar and feathers, a good beating and
a ride out of town on q rail to Jack
the pepper" who recently has been
making himself very obnoxious by
greatly annoying tho residents of that
place, especially the women and child
rem.
He has been detected at night at
the windows of different residences
while the members of the households
were retiring for the night. He APP
pears to be very fleet of foot, and thus
far has eluded capture by those who
have chased him from the windows Of,
their homes. However, suspicion
points strongly toward a certain indi-
vidual, and he is being closely watch
ed in the hope that if he in reality
is the guilty party he can be detected
in the act and arrested.
The male residents of Lane are ex-
tremely angry because Of his antics.
and if he is captured they threaten to
take the law into their own hands and
administer the punishment set forth

Nelson has a bullet wound in the arm
and two bullets in the abdomen, and
it is said his chances for recovery are
decidedly slim.
