The Running Waterland and Cattle Co., whose range ison Big Dry and Elk Prairie oreek andtributaries, running the H I-bar brand,and the Hunter &' Evans rand andCattle Co., who run the heart brand onthe same range also, sold out to qtr.Pierre Wibaux, of Beaver creek, alltheir cattle and horses.

The nettle werepurchased by Mr. Wiban for himselfpersonally, whloh together with hiother investmenat in this esutry wllNruna his rang wealth up into nearlybalf a million dollar.

company, Ben K. Holl, Henry Tos,lor sad A. R. Farnum were in the d•tyyeterday from the dlfferent round-ups.Mr. Cauter's report of the state of at-tie on the north side in the Big andLittle Dry country is very disoourag-log although he says that on the RedWate range the round-up discovereda much better condition of adkirs thanbe had reason to hope for. SBlne therouond-p bha reached the Bag Drycountry, however, the scarcity of shecattle and absence of bulls and lofrequoaey of calves eas been marked.We are Inclined to think that Mr.Carter takes too gloomy a view of thealtuatl6o. However, the other stockmen mentioned above bring more en-couraging reports from the vicinity oftheir round-ups and caivee are loomlngup at every coulee.

As Exeltlag Batle With a Maiace.

A drispatch from New Orleans says:On Saturday night Raymond Butch,overseer of the Woodland plantation,Plaquemine pariah, forty miles belowthis city, was shot through both legsby an inanoe man named Ed Will.lasm. This mrnnlog the sheriff ofPlaquemine parish, accompanuled byGeorge Osmond. editor of PlaquemineProtector, started out to arrest themaniac. When they approachbed Will-lams be opened fre upon them, shoot.log Osmond through the neck, and, itis thought, fatally injuring him. Thesherif thee oursued the maniac, whotook refuse in his house. The housewas set on re into order to dislodgeWilliams, sad when he came out toget water to extinguish the flames hewas shot dead by the sheriff. Abouttwo years ago George Osmood, whileeditor of the Madeotte, was Attacked tohis olmoe by J. D. Houston and RobertBrewster. Pistols were freely usedand each of the participants werewounded, Brewster fatally.

Desoemet.

As this country is fast settling upand the land marks and assooiationsof early days are even now interest.ing, and will continue to become moreso, it does seem useless and aimas sac-rillgious to mar and deface the rocksthat are covered with the hleroglypb.ie of the Indians. We were surprisedto hear that the intereting rook northof town, showing as it does the handi-work and imagery of a people who arefast losing their highbet element of rc-mance, had been robbed of its historicvalue, by the whitewash brush of *rilsed man, for advertising his worldlygoods. Rocks are plenty and to see"Zimmerman" in great glaring lettersacross the outline of an Indian tomb,shows to us a deplorable lack of sentLiment. Mr. Zimmerman is not atfault, but let merchants who propose topaint posters on the rooks, order theirworkmen to avoid disfiguring the -ewpoints of lanterest left to mark the racethat onee'possessed the land. Whenthis valley Is filled with homes madeby the skill of mankind let the rock-altars tell of the race that dwelt herewhen the country was designated asthe "(Areat American Desert."-Bill.

"There is no daily newspaper inDakota but what is produced at aglseter *xpensethan the Inter Ooean,the Pioneer Pres, Globe or Bon--greater expense totheir pgblibher, wrmean.
