In a recent article in the Register
we mentioned the trades made in the
primary convention, stating that some
of the precincts south of here were
included in the deal. 1t has come to
us indirectly that Mr.. Sundet, the pro.
posal committeeman from Medary
township, feels that we were referring
to him, as his township is directly
south of here. However, we wish to
assure him that such was not the case,
as we did not have him or his precinct
in mind at all when we wrote the ar
ticle.
Last evening about seven-thirty fire
was discovered in a straw pile be-
tween the barns of H. c. Johnson and
L. L. Erb in north Brookings, but
neighbors managed to put it out before

smoker going through the alley. The
wind was blowing a gale at the time
and it would have been a serious fire
If it had not been discovered in time.

The six fat tailed sheep which Prof.
Hansen secured in Siberia arrived here

rough handling, these sheep stood the
hardships exceedingly well and are in
fine physical condition. According to
Prof. Wilson, no other breed of sheep
in the world could have withstood the
journey of 10000 miles. These sheep
appear to be a trife larger than the
ordinary breed and have broad fat
tails and high fat rumps. The pen
consists of two rams and four ewes.
Bookings has another real show
coming tomorrow night and we hope
to see it well patronized. Bought and
Paid For" is a different class of show

good if not better. Bookings gave the
latter a splendid house and this as.

ment and we understand that two
towns in this vicinity that did not trun
out a good house for the Red Rose
have had their date for the other show
cancelled. Bought and Paid For is
owned by w. A. Brady, who sent us
Baby Mine" last fall. That show
came at the start of the season and
did not get the house that it deserved,

Mr.. Brady will scratch Brookings of
his list. In this case we will lose
Within the Law" and Little Women"
two splendid shows that are scheduled
for later in the season. These theatri.
cal managers are a canny lot and it
does not take them long to cut out the
poor towns. And you can hardly
blame them either, as 1.-THE Red Rose"
