sioux COUNTY
MAY FALL THROUGH
CROP CONDITIONS ARE REPORT
ED VERY BAD IN THAT
SECTION.

Bismarck. N. D., July 5.--There may
De no Sioux county this year. While
the governor has not as yet made any
announcement of such decision It is
anticipated by many Of the interested
parties.
Residents OF that part Of the Stand
ing Rock reservation which lies in
North Dakota which was to have
comprised the territory Of the newly
created county report that there is no
crop there this year as the reserva
ton was one of the ill-favored snots
in the state which received no rain
this year and as a result 1t is burned
to a crisp With no crop the resi-
dents Of the county will be short Of
money and 1t takes money to perfect
a county organization. In addition to
this 1t is too late to levy an assess
ment for taxation purposes and there
would be no funds available to pro-
cure the necessary county books or to
pay the necessary county officials.
Hence it appears at this time as
though the county Organization will
have to hold over for a while.

TossEs NOTE FROM CAR
WINDOWS WINS A BRIDE.

Seattle, July 5.-Helner Sund-
burg, wealthy young lumberman
OF this city, has won a wife in
Bathgate, N. D., the ending Of
pretty romance which grew out of
joke. Sundburg returned to Sc
attic from Chicago last fall. He
was accompanied by a fellow tim
herman and the two thought 1t
would be interesting to toss q note
out of the car window into each
state through which they passed.
Sundburg procured some leather
card cases in Chicago and in each
was placed note requesting the
finder to address Mr.. Sundburg at
his Seattle home. From Bathgate
came a well written letter stating
that the note had been found by
Miss Addie Smith while she was
seeking wild strawberries. Sund-
burg replied to the letter from
Miss Smith and went east to meet
her and they were married recent
ly at the Bathgate farm home.
