On last Monday a storm jessed over the Agate Springs Stock Farm, of J. II. Cook, about IH miles south of Harrison, taring the storm lightning struck iu a bunch of his horses, killing three of his standard-bred mares. The animals killed were L U., Patsy C, and Kitty C, and two of them were in foal by his Hanible tonian horse, Mendonain. The fluid lassed along a wire fence and killed two of Mr. Cook's cattle which were two miles from where the horses were killed. The loss is a severe one, as tlte horses killed were as fine as there was in the btate, and were worth not less than $3,0K). The loss is cause for regret to all, for such horses are not to 1 found in every locality and Sioux county could justly be proud of them. Canght With 1 he Horse. For some time the ollicers have been on the lookout for horses belonging to Bar T conpany of South Dadota and the Sheriff of Dawes county recently sent word to Sheriff Reidy to watch the movements of one John F. Nolan who had a ranch down in the sand hills, and whose brother lives in Sipux county a few miles northwest of Harrison. On hist Thursday Nolan came to Har rison and the sheriff got to looking around and found six horses about a mile from town and one of them was the kind of a horse the o dicers were looking for. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon Nolan left town and soon started olf w ith the horses which Sheriff Reidy had been examining, and that officer watched liis man take his departure from a good point of observation, and that evening, according to agreement, he'went Chad ron where he gave the sheriff of Dawes county the information he had obtained and that ollicer started out to intercept Nolan. This he did at Hyannis, and the same horses found in his possession that he left here with, and he was arrested and taken to Chadron and put under lxnds. From the indications the officers are going after horse and cattle thieves in earnest, and Sheriff Reidy apears to be able to take care of his share of the work. Highest price paid for hides at the harness shop. D. M. Sutton is building a new barn on his properly. The base ball boys of Harrison are trying to get up a game with the Craw- fordites. If successful there will be some sport. v The soldiers' relief commission, con sisting of S. R. Story, A. Blood, Jr., and E. Q. Hough, was in session at the office of the county clerk hist Saturday. The new passenger train did not ap pear last Sunday tts was expected, but it is reported that it will be on hand next Sunday morning, at an early hour. Wait for it. A parly consisting of J. W. Robin son, M. Bruck, C. E. Holmes and E. D. Satlerlee went to VanTassell last Sun day and brought homo a quantity of lish. II. T. Zetbe was in town on Saturday and took out a windmill, which he will scon have at work pumping water. Windmills will soon be plentiful all over this country. It would be a good plan for the vil lage board to enforce the ordinance re lating to stock running at large. No one dare put out trees or plant a garden for fear they will destroyed, nor do they dare picket a cow out on account of the danger of loose stock injuring her. If we have laws let them be enforced. As annonnced in the last issue of The Jouknal A. W. Mohr had his im ported Pereheron horse in Harrison on Tuesday. Julius Sic vers alsp iiad his Norman-Canadian horse In town for a short time, and the two attracted a good deal of attention. The former is a black gray, handsomely dappled and the latter is a beautiful black. Both hordes are powerfully built and have good action for animals of their size. The fanners of Sioux county are fortunate to have the opKrt unity thus afforded for raising a good class of horses, and it will not be long until a bronc will lie a curiosity in this locality. Many of the readers of The Journal remember the closing of the general merchandise store in Harrison of Itosa & Thompson in the fall of 1HH0. Last week the case came up in the district court at Chadron under the title of Rosa & Thompson vs. M. E. Smith & Co., (of Omaha) for damages arising from the seizure -of their stock. The caso was hotly fought, A. Bartow appearing for Rosa & Thompson and 8argur & Fisher for the Omaha firm. The result whs a verdict in favor of Rosa & Thompson for tlie sum of $8,836. The many friends of Rom & Thompson in this county will be glad to learn that they will, at least, be partially paid for tlie heavy loss they sustained by reason of the seizure of tlMfr goods. PERSONAL. James Farnam went to Vorhees last Thursday. J. 1L Cook went down the road last evening. Geo. Walker went to Chadron last Thursday. Robert Neece was in town the first of tlie week. Hon. W. W. Wood, of Rushville, was in Harrison yesterday. James Clark was up from Montrose on Tuesday and called at our office. Octave Harris was in Harrison on Monday and called at our office. " W. II. Zimmerman writes us to send The Journal to him at Dickey, Iowa. A. Blood, Jr., was in Harrison on Sat urday and added his name to the list of readers of The Journal. Rev. and Mrs. Rorick went to Hay Springs tlie first of the week to attend the ministerial association. E. B. Henderson, of Albion, stenogra pher for Judge Collin, was in Harrison last Thursday between trains and made a pleasant call at our office. J. E. Marsteller is now a resident of Harrison, having moved into the De Brown property last week. Lost At Harrison, on May 11th, a $3 bill. Finder will be rewarded by leaving the same at The Journal of fice. August Ring. v If the weather will permit, a gospel meeting will be held ot the church on Thursday evening, May 21st. All are invited to participate who can. J. F. Schulz reports the arrival of a son at his homo on last Sunday. Thus does the population of Sioux county increase. C. S. Scott lias his well machine at Dr. Shafer's and will soon sink a well for him, and T. O. Williams has brought his drill down from Wyoming and will put down a well for Dave Bartlett and also one for J. II. Bartell. Tlie sugar beet committee received a letter from II. II. Nicholson, of the ex perimental station of the state univer sity, to the effect that the points which will attract the most attention from capitalists and sugar manufacturers is the cost of production -and yield. It is urged that all who are making experi ments will use due care in keeping the record and ascertaining the yield. With the proper record and as good tests as were made in 1890, Sioux county will have a sugar factory before the crop of 1892 is ready to work up, and a sugar factory in the county will double the value of every piece of property in the county. The work of getting sheep by our farmers has already commenced. J. W. Robinson purchased a doc!-: a few days ago and we are informed that J. O. Mor ris expects to have 1,500 of the woolly coats before fall. There is no kind of stock which will bring as good returns on tlie money invested as will sheep and we exect to see a great many farmers in Sioux county engaged in the industry in the neur future. Surveyor Dew re ports that it is an excellent country for the business, his flock having done finely, and II. H. Russell says the same of his flock. A fire started in Crawford a few days ago and had it not been for the fa cilities possessed by that town for fight ing fire, a heavy loss would have been sustained. It is about time that Harri son began to figure on some way of fighting a fire should one g"et started. A close call was made on one row of build ings and it would be good policy on the part of the village board if they .could devise some way to fight fire. A good big reservoir on the hill near the school house, and pipes laid thereto would give pressure enough to protect all the build ings in town except the court house and school house, and the expense would not be very groat. The JouitiNAL learns that a number of farmers in the eastern part of the county have secured beet seed and will also lie in the contest for the prizes of fered by the state board of agriculture, and also that some of the farmers of Snake Creek precinct will be' on hand. It is hoped that all who undertake the experiment will give it the care needed so that good results may bo obtained. A good high average yield of sugar will benefit the county more than u few very high tests and a lot which would cut the average of the county down. If Sioux county makes as good a comparative showing as it did last year it will have great weight in attracting attention and capital to this part of the state and with proper exertion on the part of the people it is more than likely that a factory can be secured before the crop of 1893 is raised. Those who only got a small quantity of seed should send some of the beets for analysis, for although they cannot comjiete for the prizes offered it will help tlie showing of the county. ' The children day service will be held in the M. E. church at Harrison, on Sun day, June It, 1893. The exercises will consist of musical and literary enter tainment, and will be under the auspices of the Union Sunday School of Harrison. Every one is cordially invited to be pres ent. E.E. E.
