A Had Stroke.
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.

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

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

ent. E.E. E. Rorick,
