H ! In November , 1858 , started for the Bed lliver country with dog train to trade with the Indians ; made a successful trip ; returned to St. Paul in spring of 1859 ; fit ted out a trading expedition and loaded L > oatxs at Otter Tail Lake , Minn. , and floated down the lied lliver of the North. At mouth of Red Lake River was taken in by Indians and lost all our goods. After losing all we traveled on to Pembina , North Dakota and there waited the coming of the steamboat , Ans Nothrup , the first steamer floating on the Red River of the North ; boarded the little steamer at Pembina and made a trip to Winnipeg , British Posses sions , and went on a buli'alo hunt with the Red River half-breeds in August , 1859 ; returned to St. Paul , Minn. , then to Chi'cago ' in \yinter of same year dead broke ; J * remained in Chicago until the In > spring of 1861 , and , on April IS , enlisted in the Barker dragoons ; was sent to Cairo , 111. , and from there to West Va. , as bodyguard for Gen. Geo. B. McClellan ; re I' mained in his command until Au gust 19 , 1SG1 ; was returned to Chicago and was muslered out. In September went to St. Louis , Mo. , and joined Fremont's ex pedition to Springfield , Mo. ; en tered Springfield with the advance guard. I was then in the scout service. From there we went to Sedalia * Mo. ; was under command of Gen Pop ? ; remained the're un til spring of 1862 ; ordered to Commerce , Mo. , wh re we advanced on New Madrid ; \v- ; ordered to Hamburg Landing on Tennessee rirer. JTroni Pi i-e's command It _ _ was transferred to Gen. Grant's command in Scout service. After the evacuation of Corinth left the service for a time and returned to Chicago. In the fall of 1863 went to St. Louis and enlisted for six months in the Q. M. service ; was trans ferred to Rolla , Mo. , to Col. Liv ingston's command , colonel of First Nebraska Volunteers ; order ed to Batesville , Ark. ; remained during the winter a very dis agreeable one ; ordered to Duvals Bluffs , Ark. ; was transferred to Q. M. department and had charge of all stock shipped to that point , and fitted out teams for Steele's command-at Little Rock , Ark. ; was compelled to leave the service on account of sickness ; returned to Chicago and remained during the winter. In the spring of 1865 left for Dunlieth , 111. ; in the fall of same year-left for Denver , Col , , in 1886. I was with a prospect party , but like most prospectors came out of the mountains dead broke ; drove stage on the "Overland" until spring ; emigrated to North Platte , Xeb. , then the terminous of the U. P. R. R. From there moved to Jules- burg , Col. , one of the hard towns of the west. In the same year. 1867 , moved to Cheyenne , Wyo. , and started freighting to Denver and the mountains ; continued freighting until the spring of 1870 ; sold out and went to Omaha , Neb. the same year , and located at Schuyler , Neb. , built and supe.r- intended the. stock yards at that place , then the shipping point of Texas cattle on the U. P. R. R. In the same fall purchased 2500 head of cattle and located' them on the South Loup river , the first herd of cattle ever wintered in that section of the country. It was considered a hazardous under taking on account of Indians , but ] had but little trouble with In dians , except stealing horses. In the fall of 1871 shipped the herd and left the state of Nebraska , and , in November , 1871 , located in Creston , Iowa , in the employ ' of the C. B. & Q. railroad as live stock agent and superintendent stock yards at that place. f July 1 , 1872 , married in Lowell , Mass. , , to Olive O. Aldrich and came to Creston , Iowa to assume the management of stock yards and live stock for the C. B. & Q. During my stay in Creston was twice mayor of the cit-y ; alsocoun- ty commissioner of Union county. In the spring of 1880 removed to Cheyenne , Wyo. : remained there until the spring of 1SS1 ; re moved to Fremont , Nob. , and be came live stock agent of the UE. . & M. V. In July , 1883 moved to Cherry county and located 20 miles north west of Valentine on a sheep ranch , but my success in the sheep business was like many others that went into the sheep businesa at that time in Cherry county , went broke. In November , 1890 , moved to Valentine , and in 1894 was ap pointed marshal and water com missioner. In January , 1897 , was appoint ed county judge , and in Novem ber , 1897 , was elected county judge NrtTICK.

For six months or more the glsVs assistant had occupied his leisure moments by writing verses for the vil lairo paiier , in the "poets' corner' ' of wlndi publication they appeared anony uior.rly every Thursday , says the 1'or.th's Companion. On opening lib copy oL' the Weekly Br.slo one mor.iinc : and , turning first , as was his rcs habit , to that particular corner , he was surprised and gratified beyond meas urc to see his name in full appended to his latest poetical outbreak. He hastened to call at thc/officc oi the Bugle. "Mr. Stiros , * ' he said to the editor , "I want to thank you for signing ray name to my poem in this week's paper- It encourages a fellow whim he gets proper credit for his work. " "Oil. that's all right. .TobSDU. " re sponded the editor. "We thought it was about time to place the responsi bility for that poetry ? where it be longed. " His "Richt" Name. From queer names and descriptions of things there follow sis a natural sequence queer names and descriptions of people. Among a number of racy instances is one quoted l.\v Mr. Fox- D.ivies. the well known authority ou nomenclature , from Blackwood's Mag azine , of April , 1SJ ± "In one of the Buchan lishing villages a stranger had I occasion to call on a fisherman of the name of Alexander White. Meeting a I girl , he asked. 'Can ye tell me fa'r Sanuy Fite lives : ' * FIlk Sanny Flic' : ' quoth she. 'Muckle Sanny Fite ? ' said he. 'Filk muckle Sauuy Fite ? ' 'Muckle laiig Sauny Fite. ' 'Filk muckle lang Sanuy Fite ? ' 'Muckle lang gleyed Sanuy Fite ! ' shouted the exasperated man. 'Oh , it's Goup-the-Lift ye're seeking , ' answered , the girl , 'and fat the de'il for dinna ye speer for the raon by his richt name at anceV " The Retort. Here is a retort which a "dull stu dent" once made : Professor You seem to be very dull. When Alexander the Great was your age , he had already conquered the world. Student Well , you sec , he had Aristotle for a teacher. Chambers' Journal. Sheriff's Sale. By virtn of an order of sale issii-rt by tl-e rVrk of the dfcttict court of UhPrry County.
