WARNING

The County Engineer would be very
thankful u the parties would return
those lanterns that were stolen on the
State road. They were placed there ss
danger siguals. Persds doing such
little petty stealing "a this endangers
the lives OF the travelling public and
might cause innocent persons TO be
killed or wounded for life | guess
the guilty parties think it high cut TO
get cheap lanterns, but it might turn
out to be short road to the peniten-
tiary. This is not the first time that
things like this has happened. 1t has
been almost impossible to keep ropes
on our Fresns. besides several picks,
shovels and other small tools have been
stolen in the last few months. and not
very long ago small sack OF bridge
bolts we're stolen, In tact there seems
to be mania along that road TO steal
tools, or any thing that can be found
loose at both ends. Now we don't care
how much you cuss the road or any Of
its construction, but whoever is doing
this is some petty thief that might be
brought to j"stice, as we have a very
good line on the guilty parties. with
good prospects OF an early arrest and
conviction, so it might be well for
those things to be replaced and put
where you found them. We under
stand one party said he borrowed them
for few days.

Donkey Rrlnus Grief.

An apparently inoffensive donkey
has during the last few days been the
source of considerable friction in Yer
million, S. D., and as a last resort the
city council held a meeting and took
action.
The braying of the donkey kept
many people away at night, and after
they had lost so much sleep that they
lost their tempers those affected sent
a petition to the city council asking
that the donkey be eliminated.
The city council deliberated over the
matter for some time, and then took
a vote, which proved. that the council
was evenly divided on the question as
to whether the donkey was a nuisance
or not.
Mayor Lyons, to break the deadlock,
cast the deciding ballot which declared
the donkey a public nuisance, and the
council now has demanded of the own,
er, G.. II. Grange, that the offending
donkey be exiled from Vermilion and
not permitted to step foot within the
city limits.
