• There were several foot-races in town, Saturday afternoon, none of them very swifU. In ’one Frank Minicus beat Jimmy German, several feet, in 50 yards. The other was between Ed Griggs and Will Tanner, with Griggs the winner. Charges of foul between the last named pair resulted in an incipient scrap between them. ,

Of the building of houses there is no end. To paraphrase a scripture phrase. Among the very latest intended builders are Jesse Grub, the express agent, on lots already secured,.. on Cullen street, north of A. W. Cole’s place. J. P. Hammond, the implement dealer, will also build, right away, and Dallas Yeoman is “figuring’’ strongly. Wm. Hoover, ex-County treasurer, has bought the C. C. Sigler lots, also north of A. W. Cole’s place, and, we understand, contemplates building and ■ moving to town. this dale is still to be continued. _ 4 Dave Platt and Wm. Deer appear to have been on a monnmetital jamboree, last Saturday night. They first went ou't to Dr. Deming’s place, south of town, where a dance was in ■ progress, runby\a .young man named ' Thos. A. Hays. Here Platt and Deer . behaved so obstreperously that they ; were ordered oft the premises. Later, riding around town in a single buggy, - they followed young Hays, and another young man named Watson, who with their girls, Misses Mary Roofers and Vina Condon, both of Renssdiaer, were coming from ; the dance in a buggy, together. Piatt and Deer abused the other party shamefully,following them about town ; and whipping their horses, swearing

at and insulting them with the most obscene language. Monday morning Hays came to town and had Platt and Deer taken before Justice Burn. , ham, but not wishing to cause the young ladies the annoyance of appearing as witnesses in the case, he charged them with nothing but profanity. .They plead guilty, and were fined SI and costs, amounting in all to $10.50 each- Had all their offences been named in the affidavit, and proved at the trial, the penalty would have been much more severe. Many people, in different parts* of town, were waked from their sleep, !the ditturbance they created.
