Judge Woods of Cl.'.sdron, came up to lLuTison on Tues lay of this vtt ek to look aft-r a court tne in connection with county attorney Guthrie, who rep resents Sioux county as defendants vs Eti Satterlee plaintiir, which was to be tried before ReH'eree J. J. King on the 18th inst. It is rumored that one of our young business men and an esteemed young lady were about to try the realities of connubial bliss. Whether there is any truth in the report or not we have leen unable to find out at ti e county Judge's ollke, who usually grants licences for such ventures. The three sons of B. F. Thomas, B. O., A. M. and A. B. Thomas, have gone west to look up a location. They are not sure as to just where they will go or just where they will stop, but will keep going until they find a -lace that they are satisfied to make their future home in. Mr. Chas. Marsteller, the principal of the school here, has been requested to help conduct the summer school which convenes here on the 10th of June ond continues for six weeks, by Prof. Gray who will swn be hero from DuBois, eb., to commence the term. But Char ley says he will not except the offer as other business matters will not permit. Mrs. Sherri!!, mother of J. W. Sher rill of this place, died May 11th, in Dun bury la., of tumor of the shoulder. Little over a week ago Mr. Sherrill re ceived word from his folks that his mother was at the point of death. Mr. Sherrill at once made arrangements and took the train the following day for his former home, but his mother was dead and buried before he got home. Mr. Sherrill will not return before the first of next week. Quite a spirited contest took place at the county treasurer's office Tuesdry afternoon over a piece of shool-laud of forty acres, wherein three different par ties were interested in leasing the laud and, of course resulted in running the premium away up. Mr. McCoy, Anton Kratz and A. M vGinley, were the gen tlemen who were after the covited prize but Mr. McCoy was the successful bid der, the amount being $101, as premium thus knocking out the two other men. Dr. Bradley of Casper, Wyo., who represents the New York Mining and Milling company, passed through this place yesterday on his way to Crawford, where he takes the train for Colorado to look alter their interests there. lie has been looking up the mining business in the Big Horn mountains for his company with the intention of developing min ing projierty there if his reports would warrant ii. Dr. Bradley thinks there is good ore in the Big Horn mountains, but believes it will take lots of capital to make it pay in that locality. N. D. Hamlin and famJy, who have made their home in Harrison for the last nine or ten years, left for Brayton, la., last Saturday evening. Pretty near the entire town' speople turned out to bid Mr. Hamlin and his esteemed family a hearty farewell, as they left at the depot, which shows the high esteem in which Dug. as he is called here and his family was held here by all his neighbors and friends of Harrison and vicinity. We hope that it will not be long until Mr. Hamlin will return and take up his abode with us again. While the town of Harrison is made up of Drst class people, yet have none to spare, the losj is imparable. Last Sunday a big wolf hunt was en gaged in by over thirty men and women and several children. The hunt took place between Bob Neeces' and A. Mc Ginley's. The parties were provided with eight or ten hounds and a plenty of guns and amunition but, nary-a-wolf did they get although three or four were seen. The party took their dinner at Mr. Neeces,' and Mr. McKinley informed the rejiorter for The Journal that an other wolf hunt would come off next Sunday and that the hunters would take their dinner at his place. Tiiera is some talk of the boys going down to take a hand in the hunt from here, whether they do or not remains to be seen. The huntirg of wolves and a general war of extermination of all their species is a grand good thing and every stock raiser in Sioux county ought to take a hand in getting rid of tbe pest. But we deplore the fact that no other day than the Sabbath can be found to do that kind of work, or to have that of pleasure, which most of the boys consider it to be. While we do not profess to be any better than the general class of people, we do believe that a better example should be set before the rising generation. What The Journal has to say is not ment for any particular person or persons, nor to any particular neighborhood and none, we hope will take any ofenc about what Tu Jockxax. has to say. AN ASS.WI.T CAE. ilri. V'J'rth Fll.-n a ( umiilaint of Assault AiMlilst nr Hu.boud. C. R. Wadsworth figured prominently in two cases brought in Judge Hoge's court WtJnesday. The first one on a complaint sworn to by A. L. Lewis, wherein he was charged with carrying concealed weapons. For lack of evi dence as to consealment of the weapon he was discharged. It i understood Mr. Lewis wil! file a complaint against him charging him with assault with a deadly weapon. Mr. Lewis claimed that Wads- worth went to his place and in a quarrel over a business matter drew a gun on him. The second case was tried in the after noon. C. Ii. Wadsworth's wife, Gertie Wadsworth, had him arrested on the charge of assault with intent to do great injury and the case began about 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Wadsworth testilied that her husband had beeu drink ing, and came home to supper in an ugly mood. Trouble ensued and after a quarrel he struck her, called her names and otherwise abused her. He struck her, she claimed, three times with his fist, and exhibited marks, in the court room, where he had scratched her on her arm. She also said he threatened to "smash her through the floor" with a fiat-iron. Her father came in about that time with a drawn hammer and stopped the fight. In his testimony Mr. Wadsworth dent ed the assault on his wife and claimed she assaulted him with the flat-iron Nearly every important allegation of fact made by her as to assault was deni ed. Judge Hoge found him guilty and bound him over to the district court to answer the charge, imposing on him a peace bond of $1iH). Kfiimey Daily Hub, Consciousness. Within the silent rock exist A billion yearning lives. Man is a petty egotist To think he only strives To think he onlv struggles up To God through toil and pain; He is but one drop in a cop Filled from the mighty main. The Flowers have tender little souls That love, repine, aspire. lch .star that on its orbit rolls Feels infinite desire. Tbe diamond longs to scintilate When hid beneath the sod. The universe is animate With consciousness of God. f Eila Wheeler Wilcox in Collier's Weekly. Additional Local. John Marslcller moved his family into the Jameson house yesterday. Eggert Rhower, who first moved his family into the rooms back of the Ranch Supply House, removed to the Dug. Hamlin residence yesterday. Since the two little showers of ves terday and day before the grass has made great progress. W. H. Davis has been made deputy post-master of tbe post-office at this place. What They (Said. Thomas Jefferson said that patriot ism could be measured by the number of free homes there were in the country What did he know obout politics any way. Daniel Welster, who served this coun try from 1817 to 1850, in various ways said, "lilierty can not long exist where the tendency of legislation is to concen trate the wealth of the nation into the hands of the few". Webster was a law yer, then how could he be able to see this fact? James Otis (1776), declared that England had as well try to dam the Nile with bullrushes as try to quench the spirit of indipendence in America Was he one of those fellows who ask ed King George the third if he might sigo the Declaration of Independence, or whether he might change the denomina tions of our currency or regulate its val ue"? Not he. I think, Lyman Beecher, viewing with prophetic eye, the great and growing west said, "We must edu cate, ire munt educate or perish by our own prosperity." He was one of those fellows who would not keep still He k I nd o' agitated the country. Thomas II. Benton, the illustrous sen ator from Missouri, (1820 to 1 W0), said that if we would educate the masses the country would be safe, Now who wants to be safe? Then let him ee-de- cate. Henry Villard received 180,000, as salary while president of the N. P., railroad while those who built Um road bed lived in dug-outs and worked for 90o a day while it was cold enough to freeze the nozzle off a brass whistle. "Oh how plea:tent it is for brethern to dwell together in unity". How much it takes to feed and clothe some, and how little it takes for others. Our patriotic ones told us tbe public domain should be kept as free homes for the people. The N. P. railroad says you can have our share of it when you pay us $7.50 to 915.00 an acre for it "and com quickly for it is going to rise"', Hoke Smith told ue "twelve years more and all tbe available public domain win tw taaen.
