Lumber From Old Landmark

Pierre-Robinson Brothers of west
ern Stanley county have recently
torn down one of the old log houses
on the Deadwood t all, and are con-
verting the logs into lumber with their
mill. This structure was one of the
first put up on the trail between
Pierre and the Hills, having been built
in 1876 by "Grizzly' Shoun to be used
as a road house on the trail, while
he had to watch out for hostile In
dams as we'll as care for travellers to
the Hills. S. S Shoun, the builder,
was Tennesseean who came north at
the ciose of the war. and after wan
dering over the west came to the
Black Hills with the first of them,
and decided that a road house on the
trail was exciting enough for him, and
settled down at point on the trail
near Grindstone Butte, where he re-
sided up to the time of his death
He was one of the we'll known char
acters of the western part OF the state
as travellers on the old trail all pass
ed his place

Aberdeen-A farmer driving into
the town Of Hecla, saw snow-cov-
cred mound near the roadside, and
stopping to investigate found the body
of man. He hurried to town and
notified the authorities, who returned
to the spot and discovered the dead
body to be that Of Nels Olsen. Danish
farm hand, As years OF age, who had
left his place Of employment three
weeks ago armed with an old musket
to go hunting. There was an ugly
wound extending to the bone, in the
left leg, Indicating that the old weap-
on had been accidentally discharged
The marks on the ground showed that
Olsen, after receiving the hurt, had
tried to use the musket as crutch, to
enable him to reach farm house some
distance away, but that he had finally
become exhausted from loss of blood
and had lain down and frozen to
death. He had no known relatives in
this country, and will be bu led in the

Why Do They.

Why women like the baIdheadeG
man it is somewhat difficult to define
1t may be because he appears to be.
Thoughtful and kind
Trustworthy and confiding. Whim-
steal. Past the follies and frivolities
of youth.
Usually successful.
A man of property.
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He Is not silly like young men
He accepts refusajs OF marriage SO
nicely that enc is sorry one did net
accept him
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice. One weuld like to kiss 1t.
A doctor Welcomes badness when X
comes to him, as 1t Is sign of So
Aateness and dignified learning, which
Invariably Increases his practise.
