S. j. Hagg is the proud owner of
a fine thirteen-mont old Duroc
Jersey hog, which he purchased at
a stock show recently held in the
eastern part Of the state. He paid
a fancy price for the hog and yet he
considers it a very nominal sum,
considering her qualifications. The
president Of Brookinss college pro-
nounced her the most perfect hog
in the state. Mr. Hagg is very en-
thusiastic about pure=hred stock
and has some good specimens to
show In both hogs and poultry.
He sold an eight months old hog to
George Hand this week which he
says will weigh almost as much as
the Qpe above mcntioned.-Mc-

Fred Ostrum of Fort Yates and
Levi Henderson Of the Winona
neighborhood, spent a couple OF
days in Linton this week on some
legal business. 1t seems that they
lost a cow-hide out of the barn
and came to Linton to see if they
could find it, They found 1t in the
possession Of Richard Sautter, and,
after some trouble, they secured
from him the name of the person
who sold the hide. Tuesday the
sheriff went after him, the person
proving to be John Dorseher, Of thu
same neighborhood. He was brought
to Linton, admitted the theft, and
paid all expenses, amounting t.
about S35. He has been mixed ur
? in some other court affairs.-Lintor

NEW YORK. March 15.--Durins the
greater part Of yesterdays session
prices drlfted idly and without def.
mite trend. save in few OF the better
known specialties, where gains and
losses were impartially distributed.
Public interest was utterly lacking
and traders evidently deemed 1t wise
TO hold aloof in view OF overhanging
uncertainties.
On the surface there were NO
changes in the railway labor situa-
ton, but the sluggishness of trans
portation shares suggested increas.
ing doubt of satisfactory outcome of
today's conference. International con.
ditions were further complicated by
China's serevance of relations with
Germany and the sinking of an Ameri-
can ship within the prescribed war
area. Neither of these incidents eXcit-
cd more than passing attention. but
probably served to curtail operations.
