Merely A Good Fist FiQht

What was reported to be almost a
Wholesale murder party and sent the
county corner, Dr. Flett and Sheriff
Wilson journeying thru the worst
storm Of the year, turned cut to be
onl: a family row between two broth
ers Wednesday afternoon.
The affair took place at the Locka-
bill home, about eight miles north of
the city in Roberts county. One Of
the men is deaf ard dumb and the
other is afflicted similarly. .Accorelins
to the message, which came thru the
l.. A. Critics family, one of the men
came to his home, about a mile and Il
halt distant, in a senli-exhausted con-
dltion. As he was unable to talk, they
gathered that something terrible had
happened from his efforts to explain.
He called the county sheriff at Sis
seton, who Immediately called TIE
Grant county sheriff, authorizing him
to do what was necessary as he was
unable to get there because OF the
storm. Sheriff Wilson and DIR. Flett
started from this city early in the af-
ternoon and after battling their way
to the j. Johnson farm about six miles
north of the city they were stopped
by Mr.. johnson, with the message that
they were not needed as the affaiv
turned out to be only fistic battle.
Mr.. Critics went to the Lockabill farm
and Investigated and upon his re-
turn home called Mr.. Johnson to in
tercept the Grant county officers.
We have not learned the extent Of
the injuries to either of the fighters,
but we do know that Dr. Flett and
Sheriff Wilson did not enjoy their IL
mile ride in the worst storm Of the
year.

Guy Fish, who lives or farm si.,
miles south of Twin Brooks, was
stricken with an attack of paralysis
Wednesday of last week. The attack
came while he was caring for his stock
some distance from the farm house
and he fell to the ground unable to
help himself. It was some time before
his absence was noticed by his wife
who discovered him, and he was 50
chilled that he contracted pneumonia.
He was brought to the Milbank hospi-
tai and his condition is very serious
at this time. His father, George Fish,
arrived the next day from Bryant, S.
D., and has been at his side. The
brothers and sisters who live at Ver-
million and Madison have been sum-
moned, as small hopes are held for his
recovery. This IS the second stroke
which Mr.. Tixh haa suffered, the frst
being seves1t ycaas.esp, from. which
he recovered.

N. Nagel, and George Solias purchas-
ed the lease Of the Milbank Bargain

and candy store.
Mr.. Arnold completed the buying Of
the Nagel business Saturday and spent
the first three days Of this week in
voicnig, painting and marking his
stock for a@cleanup sale which
starts Thursday when he reopens his
store. Mr.. Arnold has been in hus;-
ness in Milbank several times before
and knows Milbank people, so that he
will have the advantage of former
customers in his new business. Mr..
Nagel is undecided what he will do but
is considering several propositions.
Mr. Solias comes from Brookinps,
where ne conducted one of Brookings'
finest restaurants. He had been nepo-
tlating with the proprictors of Grand

Consolidated April 1890
Winters WORST STORM
BURlES CITY IN SNOW

\ snow stoim which tied up rail-
road traffic, put out of commission
most OF the country telephone lines
and practically stopped all business,
struck Milbank and the entire North
west Tuesday night, lasting for two
days.
Herbert Atkinson, manager. Of the;
Dakota Telephone company reports
that there are few rural lines sthat
can be used. Long distance cenlec-
tions with most of the main points all
directions from the city are broken.
The railroad lines are intact, however,
and from them comes the report that
the storm is general all along the Mil
waukce road.
Railroad men had three hour job
to shovel out one of the engines, whicn
was SO covered with ice and snow af-
ter they had dug it out, that they were
unable to see anything but the stack,
The snow plow was pushed out of the
~ after three hours of hard work,
and sent to Summit to help No. Is
which was stalled at that place on
Wednesday night. Nos. and S were
able to get here and then stopped, the
latter making an effort to pull out
Thursday morning with three engines
but failed TO get out of the yards. A
snow plow was sent east to clear the
tracks if possible. No. II was stopped
at Montev:deo.
Very few people ventured out Thurs
day. and the businessmen spent most
of the day in an effort to keep the
walks somewhere near clean. The city
crew of snow shovclers was set to
work clearing the cross walks, but the
east and west walks We're .lrifted al
most as soon as cleared.
Old-timers say that it is the worst
storm that has struck the city for
many years, but is a tame one COM
nared with some Of the storms that
they experienced in early days.

LETTER Of Interest
FROM MRS. CINCLAIRE

Mrs. D. S. Cinclaire, who has been
making visit to her old home and
friends in Nova Scotia, writes from
Sidney in that province, to Mrs. Dow
ME and in her letter, which is dated
Feb. 14th, says:
rYhis is real South Dakota morn
ing, clear, frosty, and quiet. We
hsxe had all kinds of weather since !
eaS1e here. The air is SO very diNer-
ent from the inland countries. We
lave had snow storms, with winds that
have made such high banks of snow
that one wonders if they will ever 60
away. The harbor is frozen over,
nothing but ice and ice again as far as
one can see, locking oceanwayd. Some
boats, passenger and coal, were
caught in ports off Sidney and North
Sidney, farther up the harbor, but an
ice cutter came in thru the ice, and
they followed in her wake out to the
open sea. To me it WAS quite sight
to see the cutter working its way
steadily, and not too slowly thru the
ice.
This is coal mining town, with one
large steel plant, erected during the
war. The plant has been idle for two
years and the mines are working less
than half time. Miners are unwilling
TO have their wages reduced to any.
thing like pre-war times. and the com
panv maintains it cannot keep mines
running unless wages are reduced in
proportion to living conditions, and 50
the seemingly eternal struggle be-
tween labor and capital goes Oh. This
Island is almost a scld bed Of coal.

One mine, they tell me, extends nearly

that autos are Sc nun, erous for going
