One day this week this gentle-1
man phoned in from his ranch and'i i
asked to be announced as a demo-j
oratic candidate , for the nomination - '
tion for sheriff , and with the spirit ,
of fairness toward every man , and
especially to one we have known
for more than a dozen years , we
feel like giving him what he wants ,
or rather an even chance in the
race for the office. At the risk of
>
seeming out of place for a repub
lican paper to give a democratic
candidate a write-up , we want to
say that Clyde llosseter is a man
in whom his party may place all
confidence , and if nominated , his/
party will have : > candidate for
* whom they need make no apolo
gies. We do not expect to see
him secure the office , but if he
should it wilt be run without grafter
or dishonor in any form. Cody

her death , writing several letters
back home , and upon retiring ,
wished a good njght's rest , which
was wished her in return , when
she replied she knew she would ,
because she had been sleeping
well. She expired during the
night and was found when they
went to call her for breakfast.
A telegram was sent to her
brother , W. H. Carter of Cody ,
and he went down Sunday , re

Marvin Hughitt , president of

look over the contemplated ex

the details of the route are yet un

Belle Fourche will commence at

once.There was a red hot race be
tween the Northwestern and Mil
waukee to get their lines into Rap-
\ \ City , and the victory of the
Hughitt road is thought to have
encouraged it to try to be first to
the coast.
It was feared by 111 e South Dakotans -
kotans for a time that the Caspar
branch would be used as the main
line to the coast , but President
Hughitt's presence in and around
Belle Fourche has brought out re
liable information to the contrary.

i.ig from Belle Fourche and thence
toward the coast will be let within
