eeived a postal card from his niece,
Miss Lulu Leggett, of Bismarck, tell
ing of the death Of her grandfather
Leggett, which occurred in Peru,
New York, Monday morning. The

citizen OF Bismarck.
DR.. E. E. Jones and Mr.. G. L.
Stevenson, of Lilbourn, Mo-, arrived
in Ironton from Bismarck in an auto
mobile Sunday afternoon. After
spending a day here they left for
Brunot to visit relatives. DR.. Jones
has been in Lilbourn about nine years
and has been very successful, indeed.
He reports business good in that
section, the farmers getting top
prices for everything.
One old G. A. R. man in this county,
who probably never voted for a Demo-
crat in his life, says: 1.-THE Democrats
are sure to win every thing this year
from President down to Constable.
And what hurts me mostthey deserve
to win. They have given us lots of
good legislation, and, greater than all
else, President Wilson has kept us out
of war. / had four years of war once
and l don't want any more of it,"
The boys' basket ball team went to
Ironton Saturday, and after a battle
royal went down in defeat, the score
being II to 15. The game was close
throughout and some star plays were
made by both sides. Our team was
somewhat weakened on account of
some of the regular players not being
able to go. The team is not disc our
aged over the defeat, and will try to
be on the winning side the next game
they play.-Bismarck Gazette.
A barn on the farm of Mrs. j. L.
Milburn, on Marble Greek, about
eight miles south of Ironton, was
struck by lightning and destroyed
during the electrical storm Monday
evening. Two horses, a mule and
about 5000 worth of hay were lost.
Some other animals in the barn were
gotten safely out. 1t is thought the
three that persisted were either killed
outright by the stroke, or shocked SO
they could not get out of the barn.
The Republicans imported a "high
falutin'" niger from st. Joseph to
make a speech to the local colored
brethren last Wednesday night. He
is one of the "big feelin'" kind-just
a little better s'than any white man."
He wal automobiled and accorded
much attention by some of the white
bosses. If every Democrat in Iron
county could have heard his talk, we
are told, they would do little scratch
ing when they get hold Of a Demo-
cratic ballot next Tuesday.
G. M. London, who has been spend
ing the past few weeks in Miami,
Oklahoma, looking after some mining
interest there for Pennington parties,
spent several days last week with his
family here. He reports that Miami
is a very hourishing and rapidly grow
ing little city with fortunes being
made rapidly in the mining industry
in that vicinity. He thinks there are
many opportunities yet there for the
development of profitable mining
