Nels Austin took down with ty
phoid fever last week.
When you come to town , stop
at the Chicago House. 33
John Redfern lives twenty miles
or more south and makes two trips
a week to Valentine with hay , for
which he always receives the high
est market price.
We received a letter from one
to whom we sent a statement the
first of the year , saying he never
subscribed for the paper and
wasn't going to pay for it.
Theo. Tillson , a prosperous f armr
er and stockraiser down the river ,
hauled in a load of wheat last Fri
day and renewed his subscription
to THE DEMOCRAT while in town.
At the meeting of the stock-hold
ers of the First National Bank the
following' officers were chosen :
C. H. Cornell , pres ; J. T. May ,
vice pres ; M. V. Kicholsbn , cash- ,
ier ; L. M. Keene and B. K. C.
Cornell , directors.
A casket truck has been added
by Geo. H. Hornby to his under- i
taking equipment. This will be a \
great convenience for funeral pro- '
cessions , in the isles of churches
and also forgoing through the door
ways of dwellings *
$138 was pledged by the people
of Johnstown last Sunday for the
M. E. hospital at Omaha. The
pastor , Rev. A. T. Carpenter , was
assisted in taking the pledges by
Geo. H. Hornby. The people of
Johnstown did nobly for this great
work.
P. R. Wadsworth , the "govern- "
ment inspector in charge here last
fall , came down from Rapid City
a week ago Saturday and sold the
camping outfits , that were used by
the inspectors while checking up
the Valentine U. S. land office , at
auction and himself acted as auc
tioneer , occupying a partof the
forenoon and the whole of the af
ternoon. Over § 200 was realized
from this sale and the government
lost but little for the use of the
goods , which consisted of tents ,
camp stoves , cooking utensils ,
comforts , blankets and campiug
outfit items. Mr. Wadsworth re
turned to Rapid City the following
morning. We forgot to tell this
last week until our paper was
crowded with other items and then
had to leave out a lot of things for
want of space.
A number of stockmen were in
town last Friday from the south
attending a trial wherein William
Ferdon had made complaint that
O. C. Treadway , manager , and
Edward Lewis , foreman , for the
Chi Psi Cattle company , had ap
propriated one of the complainant's
steers which had been shipped to
Sioux City with other cittle , and
was there held up by the inspector
as having Wm. Ferdon's' brand in
addition to the Chi Psi. Mr.
Treadway 'demandedt money
t
and receipted for it , stating that
he would be responsible to any
other claimant. It developed in
the evidence that Mr. Ferdon had
occupied the Cronin ranch pre
vious to its being leased to the Chi
Psi Cattle company and was short
some 18 head of cattle upon his
roundup there , and that later his
foreman had hunted for cattle over
that range and was at the Cronin
ranch at the time Tread way's cat
tle were branded but did not dis-
.cover any at that time bearing Mr.
JFerdon's brand , nor could either
Treadway or Ferdon identify any
of their cattle excepting by the
brand. Edward Lewis was dis-
'charged and O. C. Treadway bound
over to the district court.

Grant Boyer returned from
Norden last Sunday where he has
been putting up a store building
forDanger Bros. The building is
a frame structure 28x50x12 , built
of'2x6 studding , rafters and joists
overhead , double brac.ed , with
shingle roof , 2x10 lower joists ,
16"inches apart , with double floor ,
stone foundation and basement
20x28. The sides are sheeted and
sided ith double paper between ,
ceile'd wi.th 4 inch * flooring and
steel ceiling overhead ; all built and
completed the past two months ,
including counters and shelving.
Mr. Boyer is a good workman and
have no hesitancy in saying that
Langer Bros , have a splendid store
building , strong , well built and
warm. Norden people are to be
congratulated upon having such a
creditable building and substantial
progressive business men.
Some people imagine that a
newspaper is always looking for
something to fill up with and kind
ly volunteer 'their assistance by
telling us some important bit of
news that we are glad to get , and
really is what makes a newspaper.
Others may think that if we want
news it's our place to rustle it and
refrain from helping * us in the
least , while standing ready to con
demn us if we fail to catch some
item they knew but wouldn't tell
us. A reporter can't be every
where , and like a policeman , may
be fartherest from a fight , robbery
or train wrecfc when it occurs. Go
and see it and then come tell us.
We'll write it up if you prefer , or
you may try your own hand at
writing and hand it in. We are
always looking for some real news
item to fill up with" . Tell us what
you know. Come in. and chat
awhile. Ijet's get better acquaint
ed. It is as much your duty to
report what you know as it is mine
to 'publish what I know. The
news is what we all want. We
also want everybody to take the
paper and read the news. Pay us
a'dollar a yearin advance , or , if
you wait until we have advanced
the paper to your address for a
year , you' pay us § 1.50. In the
one case you take no chance by
paying after you receive the pa-
, per for 52 weeks. One copy of
the paper is often worth the price
and more. Or if you want to take
a more active part in the business
you may pay your share towards
getting the news together and we
-will appreciate your paying $1.00
in advance.
