Two More CaniAates.

Two other candidates for the
judgship in the fifth circuit ere
in the field besides the Grant
county candidate, Thos L Bouck,
one of these being Frank Ander-
son, of Webster, and the other,
Thomas Mani, a Sisseton lawyer
who was last year elected
county attorney in Roberts
county. The fact that Mr.. Mani,
in conjunction with nearly all of
the other attorneys of Roberts
county has endorsed Judge
BOuck is believed to indicate
that he is not seriously consider
ing his own candidacy. AS the
attorneys of the district are
particularly interested in secur-
ing an able lawyer, for the posi-
tion and it is possible that Gov
ernOr Byrne may leave the mat
ter to their nomination as he did
in the case of the vacant iudg-
ship on the west side of the

Ezra Fails Prey to the Vino Cap.

Ezra Falls Prey to tho Wine Cap.
Last Monday evening Ezra
Sweetcorn, an Indian from Sis
seton came down from Roberts
county we'll loaded corn juice,
and succeeded in making hiaE.
self considerable Of 8 nutonce
on the train md at the depot.
Officers Sutcliile d Derrick con.
cluded that this variety Of maize
required early huskin9, SO they
immediately took forcible pos
session Of this crop of Sweet
corn, and though they had their
arms full, they managed to get
it we'll stacked in the county
Jail. In the morning they pre-
sented Sweetcorn to his honor,
Judge Bleser, under the usual
charge of drunk and disorderly.
The Judge after examining
Sweetcorn concluded that he was
not good variety as he had been
in court several times before in q
mix-up with John Barleycorn,
and in one of these matinees had
lost an ear to a brother Indien
who desired to taste him and see
if Sweetcorn was really ripe,
and delicious as his name would
imply. The othes: Indian after a
time recovered, but Sweetcorn
never got his ear back and is
consequently short one ear of
being full measure. 1t was on
on account of these previous
visits to the court that the Judge
sentenced him to $25 foe. but
as this was above the market
price Sweetcorn is enjoying a "a
days rest in the county Jail and
during this time will be out of
danger of being nipped by any
early frost, or from any further
attacks from his friend Barley
corn who is in the habit of laying
him out quite frequently. How
ever, poor Sweetcorn is not the
first who has lost to John Barley
corn. Many a white brother has
thought himself to be "big injun"
until Barleycorn got his straogle-
hold on him, and he was obliged
to cOufess that hts name was
mud for there are never any
other conquerors when Barley
corn is in the field. He's 4 jeal-
Gus rooster, and never let's up on
the foolish victim who thinks he
can play with him for any length
of time and then get away un.
scathed. Like F'innegan 5 bull
pup he never let's 60 when he
once closes his jaws on EN-.
