at this sale. Mr.. Mcmillan is closing
out this property for the reason that
he intends to leave the farm and
move 10 this city where he has already
purchased residence property.
--Chas Cummins was taken before
Judge Hall Saturday on the charge
of drunken and disorderly conduct
and requested to deposit $1,000 to-
ward the water works fund. After
the first affair was closed he was
immediately arrested Upon the charge
of carrying concealed weapons, upon
which charge he was found guilty
Monday and requested 10 donate
$500 more. The weapon In question
proved to be a set of steel knuckles.
u. H. Hall has sold his property
west of the court house to A. w. Hoyt,
but as it is under lease to Roy Chase
until Oct. LIST, 1909, and possession
cannot be given until that date, Mr..
Hall allows Mr.. Hoyt 10 move into
into hi house on Second street, which
is nov occupied by Fred Floto. The
Glendenning house now occupied by
Hoyt has been sold to DIR. A. ID.
Darling, who will take possession as
soon as it is vacated by Hoyt. The
deal seems TO BIZ satisfactory to all
parties concerned except Fred Floto
who at this time has NJ place in view
for his family.
Officer Kid e suggests that we
issue a note of warning, which, If
needed, will fave trouble for several
parties. There has been considerable
disc. derby conduct, suspicious actions,
and some few depr dations committt d
of late, 1t is not only annoying, but
in violation of the peace and dignity
of the city. 1t is but natural that
considerable leniency be shown until
the 81 uation gets to that point where
it cannot longer be overlooked. Ii at
point has been reached. There las
been some petty thieving and some
malicious mischief. The identity of
the guilty parties is morally certain,
but it seems that sufficient proof for
conviction is lacking. However, it
will not be safe for them to be caught
s~neaking in the alleys and on private
property in the future. Officer Kildee
will demand an explanation from all
such and it must be an explanation
that explainso immediate arrest will
follow upon the charge of trespass or
disorderly conduct, if more serious
charge cannot be sustained.
The funeral of Lloyd, the son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. 5. Murdick, mention
of whose death was made last week
occurred at the family home ON the
farm three miles north of this city
Sunday morning at IL o'clock, con-
Quoted by Rev. j. E. Booth, of the
Evangelical church. Notwithstand-
ing the inclemency of the weather
there was a large number of people
pr, sent, SO many, in fact, that fully
half of them were compelled to remain
outside during the service. The re-
mains were taken to the De Smet
cemetery followed by a large number
of friends. LLOYD would have been
ten years old if he had lived until the
18th day of March He was small
for his age, but exceptionally well
developed mentally. He was a manly
little man of good disposition and
honorable in all things. 1t is a sad
blow to the parents, doubly so on ac-
count of the suddenness and the
cause. The heartfelt sympathy Of
many friends does not lessen the bur
den of grief, but it may makeit easier
to bear, and this sympathy is extend
to the bereaved parents.
p. r. Holland arriv, d home from
his trip 10 The old scenes in Norway
last Thursday evening. While he
enjoyed the visit with the relatives
and friends of years ago, the hills had
grown 50 much and the atmosphere
seemed so damp that he could not
content himself very long aud came
back earlier than he had planned.
He was a passenger upon the ocean
liner Baltic which picked up the six
teen hundred passengers from the
overcrowded Florida, the steamer that
had collided with and wrecked the
Republic off the Atlantic coast a week
ago Saturday. The Baltic had a
stormy passage all the way and Mr..
Holland says an ocean voyage will
