Twenty-one years ago last Tues
day a terribl, blizzard swept over
this state. blotting out many lives
and killing much stock. The day
opened warm and clear and many
pcoplc were on the streets without
oycrcoats. The storm broke forth
very suddenly about four O'Clock
catching school children on their
way home and also catching the
farmers at their evening chores.
1t was in the cases of school chill
dren, school teachers and farm
hands where the loss of life took
place. That blizzard will always
be remembered by those who were
residents of the state at that time.
Many of the bodies were buried in
snowdrifts and were not recovered
until the snow melted of in the
spring. kadoka Reporter.
Considerable excitement was
caused yesterday afternoon when
Messrs Gatfney and Winters
brought to town Roy Derby and
reported that he had been acting
quite strangely for several days at
his mothers place on Plum Creek.
They report that yesterday he
picked up Il wagon wheel and
started toward town with it with
out saying anything. After go
ing short distance he took off all
his clothes except his shirt and
pants and hung them on a barb
wire fence. Mrs. Derby followed
him until she reached Mr.. Gatf-
news place when they took charge
of him and brought him to town
and he was taken down to Fort
Pierre for examination. 1t seems
he has not ate anything for sever
al days and could not be induced
to speak. We hope that his pres
ent trouble may not prove to be
anything very serious as his
mother and sister have had to do
all their farm work themselves
until he came home last fall to
stay for the winter. -Capa Hust-

The days of the cattle rustler in
Lyman county are past. At the
term of court there last week there
wasn't a case of this kind up be
fore the court. Quite a contrast
with a few years ago when about
all the court work in the county
consisted of cases against cattle
rustlers. Midland STANLEY 20.
