The land will probably be ' i sold and will bring nearly § 1,000. John Britt and Mr. Eyschon called on us Monday while in town and spent a pleasant hour in social conversation. Mr. Britt pro nounced our Missouri smoking to bacco the finest he had ever smoked. Peder Thorsen , of Irwin , was in our city Tuesday and called at our office for a visit and to have some ' printing done. Mr. Thorsen owns a good ranch 5 miles south of Irwin and his brand is T H connected on right hip. 1. C. Stotts was at Tuesday , on business. He bought the interests of the Stetter Bros. in the White Elephant Saloon at Cody and will conduct the place in his own name in the future , and we understand they will as soon as possible , settle up their other partnership business in stock and lands. Cody Cow Boy. E. M. Ball , a Rushvill surveyor , has been doing surveying for Max E. Yiertcl for a fish pond at Crooks- ton and for A. M. Morrissey near there. He was in our city last Thursday and made us a pleasant call. He informs us that' he is going into the ranch business in the southeast part of the county soon in partnership with -another man and will be a resident of our county. Sing a song of penitence , a fel low full of rye ; four and twenty. serpents dancing in his eye ; when his eyes were opened he shouted [ for his life : wasn't he a pret ty chump to go before his wife ? His hat was in the parlor under neath a chair , his boots were in the hallway , his coat was on a chair , his trousers in the kitchen , his col- ' i lar on the shelf ; when the morn was breaking : someone heard him j call his head was on the ice box , ' which was the best of all. Ex. j B. F. Carter was in our city from Ainsworth last week. There came near being a fighi on the street Monday evening and a large crowd gathered to sec what was the excitement. It proved tc be , however , only a skirmish. Bet ter a good run than a bad stand. The old county jail is being torn down and from this date it will be no more. It was built in the early days when the county was new and was composed of 2x4s nailed to gether fdr sides , ends and floor and made a strong building that might have done good service in Noah's flood , and did serve the purpose of a county jail for several years in the early days. It was standing near the Bower's & Parry livery stable and at the present time owned by Mrs. Bennett , who is having it torn down to build a larger house. Hereafter , the regular sessions of Minnechaduza Lodge Xo. 192 , will be on the first Tuesday on or before the full moon of each month , instead of the second Tuesday as heretofore.

J.V. . Stetter was re-elected as a member of the ex ecutive committee. The capture of the train of wagons by the Incl- dians , the burning of a couple of wagons , the prairie on fire and the recapture of the train by the cow boys and the scenes connected with them were very interesting to vis itors. Also the holding up of the stage , the roping of wild steers and riding bucking bronchoes won the admiration of everyone. We are pleased to hear that E. EL Bohlc has decided to remain in Vralentine and will put in a com plete line of confectionery , canned oods , lunch counter goods , sum mer drinks , ice cream and every thing which belongs to a first class up-to-cktc confectionery store.
