this week from Chicago where he had
marketed steers at $5.75.
Medora cattle shipments for, Septem-
Der IA were booked, as follows: F.. M.
Keen eleven cars. j. Tetley three and
W. Balm one. all for Chicago.
Thomas Lefor was in Dickinson on
Wednesday to get repairs for his thresh-
ing machine and expected to start work
the coming week in south of Gladstone.
The jobs are small this season and in
many cases two and three farms will be
threshed out in a day. A flat rate of
$40 for each setting is made in addition
to the per bushel charge.
Rhame Rerview: C. F. Garbush went
to Bowman Thursday, and while there
the papers were drawn up transferring
his homestead to A. H. Brown of
Chicago. The consideration was So, 600,
or $50 per acre. Not a bad price for a
homestead in this country, where a few
years ago, land was not considered
worth anything. Mr.. Garbush has
rented the place for the next two years.
