mild, open winter. The field mice and
the gophers," he explained, haven't
laid up any provisions whatever, a
fact which l have noticed while plow-
ing this fall"

ported to have won the countyseat of
Sheridan county, in the election on
November 3rd, by majority of fifty.

Malta Enterprise: Henry Martin
sold couple of horses to the buyer for
the French army last week that have
taken prizes here in bucking contests
! for the past year or so. The soldier
that draws one of these horses to ride
will be far more safe facing the enemy
than trying to ride one of these out
laws.
Conrad independents: No little in.
terest is being manifest here in pro.
position to sink deep we'll, or mum
ber of wells, il necessary, for the pur.
pose of prospecting for oil or gas.

! Galata Journal: In the past few
weeks many inquiries have been made
regarding the range possibilities in
this country, and as well, large mum
ber of homesteaders from the high
line north of here have taken the pains
to drive into this part of the country
to scout around for themselves. On
account of an almost complete loss
of crops in this section many of the
homesteaders have found it impossi
BILE to winter their animals and de
manding feed, they are using this me
thod where they find it possible.

Poplar Standard: We believe thai
Poplar established a precedent Tues
day by electing Joe Culbertson, an In
dian, to public office. To our knowl
edge no Indian has ever been elected
to office in this state before. Joe has
had rather an exciting career, having
served as scout under General Miles
MajOr-General Baldwin, and later un
der General Wheaton here. A few
months ago Joe received his patent
making him citizen and following
closely upon that he has beeu elected
to Office. OF course, Joe is more OF
less puffed up over the honors that
have been heaped upon him, and now
he claims he is a white man and a
regular guy
