Guy Green and Bomaine Saunders were up from their Wheeler county ranches Monday. The boys brought up a load of hay stufTed with potatoes. Guy wanted to bring some potatoes to O’Neill and to get them here without freezing was the prob lem. So they finally decided to put the potatoes iu the center of the load of hay and thus bring them to town. They done so and made the thirty mile trip without a potatoe even getting a chill. Mr. Green has some of the fin est potatoes we have ever eaten, clear and mealy. He has about 400 bushels to put on the market in the spring. Tne editor sat in his hard bottom chair trying to think of a thought, and he ploughed all his fingers about his hair, but not a new topic they brought. He’d written on temper ance, tariff and trade, and the pros pects of raising a crop, and joked about ice cream and weak lemonade, till his readers had warndd him to stop. And, weary of thinking, sleep come to my eyes, as he pillowed b is head on his desk, when the thoughts while awake had refused to arise, came in drops that were strange and grotesque. And as the ideas airly float, he selects the bright one of the tribe, and this is the gem, while dreaming, he wrote: “Now is the time to subscribe.’’ As Jack Sullivan was sick with an attack of the grip he was forced to give up his scrap with “Dummy” West, which was scheduled for Nor folk last night.

The 1 contest lastedjseventh rounds. During the seventh after Dan bad floored the “Dummy” twice with hard swings to the jaw he rushed to his corner and had his seconds pull his gloves off say ing that he had enough. After the scrap the “Dummy” told some of the boys that he did not think he would ever fight again as he said the fighting game was Itoo tough. Dan Sullivan made a splendid showing in the match and many who were present would like to see him go against some one that . wonld make him extend himself. As a preliminary to the main bout Matt Kane of this city put the gloves on with a young man from Gregory. ■ Matt handed the South Dakota boy i one on the jaw and South Dakota quit. A special train brought the fight lov 1 era home about four a. m. Thursday morning.
