confined to the county Jail. He is
violently insane and has to be securely
bound to prevent his doing harm to

B. A. Walton had hunting dog, a
well known animal. He takes the best
of care of him. On August 30th, just
before the season opened the dog dis
appeared. Mr.. Walton thought that
some one had stolen him for the first
day. OF course he was some warm.
The dog did not return for month and
then the owner believ d he had been
poisoned A few days ago now that
the chicken season is over, the dog
returned. B A. says he will take care
of the animal dpriDg the winter and
until the shooting season opens next
fall but that be hopes the person will
permit him half the season next year
for the keep of the dog.
A legal dispute has arisen over some
flax which was put in by James O..
Rathbun on some land leased from an
Indian woman and located on the
reservation. A Sisseton party attempted

the court for protection and acting

panied by Deputies w. G. Warner, J..

Ed, Block and w. E.. Smith, Saturday
night went out to the land and on Sum
day superintendent the threshing of the
grain and had il hauled TO Waubay to
market. AT present Mr.. Rathbun has
possession of the flax but it is probably
only the beginning of long legal
battle.
e. A. Bradley, who has been the
agent for the Milwaukee railroad at
this station for 10 these many years,
has received notice that he has been
granted promotion and will soon
enter the train dispatcher's service. At
first he will be stationed near Chicago,
but when the new year opens mp he
will be given division in the new
country west of the river, presumably
at Butte, Mont. Brad's many friends
here will rejoice that he has received a
promotion but all will sincerely regret
that the promotion will necessitate the
removal of himself and family to other
chimes to reside. All will wish them
prosperity and joy. Bradley will leave
for his new labors in about ten days but
the family will remain in Webster for
the coming winter.
