DIFFERENT KINDS OF WEATHER.

The weather-man does not seem to
be very sure OF his own mind or pro
badly he does not know what kind OF
weather the people Of this section OF
the country most desire. A big thaw
and considerable rain was sent by him
on Thursday Of last week, followed
the same evening by BLIZZARD lasting a
couple days, and with all passenger
train off their schedule, and by Mon
day it was warm enough again to
thaw. On Tuesday the ground hog
came out and butsed III, and although
It was quite warm, he saw his
shadow and this was proof enough for
him that it would be foolish to remain
out, so went back into his hole for
another SIX weeks. IT the ground hog
is not mistaken we will have cold
weather for that length Of time
No trains were run on the l. F. &
D. branch Saturday, and traffic was
not restored on this line until the
snow pIow was used on it.

worst confagration that has occurred
here since the fire of 1902, broke out
last night in Henry Mullen IS saloon.

The tiremen, with a half dozen
streams of water in operation, were
soon on the scene. They battled the
flames all night and at p. m. today
they are apparently under control.
Three buildings were burned. They
are: Mullen's saloon, the Globe
restaurant, and the Old Log Cabin
saloon building. The Tedford hotel
was for time entirely despalred of,
but it IS safe with a little damage. 1t
is hard to tell what the loss will be,
but 1t will reach the $40, 1000 mark.
The origin Of the fire is mystery.

Ranchman Made Good

Pierre-What South Dakota will
do for the man h is willing to
work, or what a man who Is willing
to work can do for himself in South
Dakota Is we'll exemplified in the
case of Eugene Carr, who lives on a
ranch in Harding county in the north
west corner of the state. Some years
ago Carr WAS a gambler about Spear
fish, but firing of that kind Of a life
he went east where he cut out cards
and married and settled down to
work for small wages. BY economy
the family lived on his earnings, but
with a growing family came growing
needs, and Carr decided it was up to
him to make q move. He knew OF
the possibilities OF the west and came
back to Belle Fourche. landing at the
place "hrOke." He borrowed q sad
die from an old time friend. and car
rying 1t on his back sought another
friend up in Butte county, where he
secured two ponies. n went to work
as a cowboy. He saved all he could,
and filed on a claim and sent for his
family. Then with further savings
secured a few cattle and looked after
them. That was six years ago. and
today he is the owner of a ranch and
a herd Of cattle which he could sell
any day for thirty thousand dollars.
He cut out cards for all time, and
will not even play for pastime. and
by actions since locating on the range
has the respect and confidence "f
every ranch owner in that part Of the
state. His ranch is a general stop
ping place for those who travel in
that section. and all are welcomed.
Many other men who were willing
TO take the hard knocks OF frontier
life for a few wears and put in their
time at hard work IA done as we'll
as Carr has. m the way Is Just as
wide open TODAY for the man who IL
seeking out a living in the east on a
small salary. as 1t was when Carr
came back to the west to make \
home for his family. It will not he a
play spell for n few years. but hard
work and good business MANAGEMENT
will bring like results to any man who
Is willing to take the work, and IN
a few years ne can have a nome and
ANNIE income Of his own instead OF
working on a daily wage barely snf-
ficent to keen himself and family
from day to day.
