itrookiags, Dakota, March 10, 11)31'.
Geo 14. Breed and Chas. D'A. Wright,
Frikxhh, Patrons and Fellow
Citizens of Buookino* Poi nty!
In tliis tlw* first issue of The
Bkookinoh CorxTY Sentinel we
wish to extend to nil upright citizens,
and we believe such inhabit our coun
ty, the hand of mutual friendship. We
are here to represent the whole county
of Brookings, from all parts of which
we wish to establish a regular corres
pondence. We shall endeavor at
present and in years to come, to chron
icle all suitable news, brought to our
notice, also to bring before the public
mind and discuss general topics of in
terest. And if at any time mistakes
should appear in our columns, we ask
the public, patrons or otherwise, to
kindly inform us of them, and we will
do all in our power toward rectifica
tion. The old saving “To be a pub
lic benefactor is to lie greater than to
be a millionaire” is vet true; never
theless we arc not presumptuous
enough to claim that our only object
in sacrificing our time and expending
our monev is for the mere purpose of
building up Brookings Countv and
helping its inhabitants whom we deem
sutlicientlv able to help themselves;
but rather that the inhabitants, county
and editors, placidly assisting one
another mav grow strong together.
One of the first intorrogatives raised
upon the starting of a newspaper, is
in regard to its home politics, that
questions can only be decided by our
columns in the future; however we
start the Sentinel as a
not pledged to any man, men or fac
tion of whatever name here or else
where existing.
We are not believers or participat
ors in picking Haws, 'vet should anv
» mrious sentiment aiiso,the Sentinel
will stand firmly, through thick
and thin for what it deems right.
For “It is better to be right than to
be President”.
*. • ft
fs2s~lr is stated by an eastern ex
change that if a ten ton paper-mill
was to be built every week for the
next year the supply of goods would
not equal the demand.
fjpe'.-ince the first of the vear, sl2,
231,748 in specie have been exported
at New York, against ¥2,448,(Ml for
the same time in 1881. And with our
imports in excess of our exports this
condition of things is likely to con
tinue.

One of the most remarkable
trials that ever took place in Dakota
was that of Crow Dog for the murder
of Sjtotted I'ail. The question oflaw
and practice were novel, and being
without precedent, confused the court,
and the testimony was so contradictory
it was believed that it would confound
the jury. But the twelve apjtear to
have averaged it, for they returned a
verdict of guilty as charged in the in
dictment, and the death sentence will
follow. Crow Dog dosn't seem to
grasp the situation, for he seems stol
idly indifferent to the delicacy of his
position. —Pioneer J'n.m.
is no difference among
the people of tliis land as to what they
want done with jmlygomy—stamped
out, at all costs. And there is a
straight and simple way of doing it—
U> deal with it in Utah exactly as
everywhere else, by statute and crim
inal procedure, treating each individ
ual without the slightest reference to
his associations or appeals to religious
beliefs; and to execute the laws, if
need be, by the entire force of the
United State's. If there he difficulty in
obtaining evidence of a marriage cere
mony, proceed on the principle of
adopting in this State, tliut the act of
living together as man and wife es
tablishes the relation in the eyes of
the law. And if this does not avail,
declare the Mormon community a
nuisance, and in a state of outlawry,
to he broken up like a nest of serpents
or malaria. The spectacle is pitiable
and scandalous, that this thing should
go in defiance of law, government
and public sentiment.— C'/irintinn In
tellij/encer.

As soino of our jmatrons have reques
ted us to publish the law concerning
lawful methods of catching fish and
killing game we quote the following
from the session laws of Dakota ad
dopted March 3rd., 1881.
KISH LAW.
It shall be unlawful for any jierson
or persons to take, catch, kill or des
troy any ijsh in any manner whatso
ever, except by angling with hook
and line or spear, in any of the lakes,
and all streams except the Missouri
and Red River of the Territory of
Dakota, or any inlet or outlet of said
lakes between the first day of March
and the fifteenth day of October in
, J ’ * any year.
GAMK I.AW.
It shall he unlawful for any person
or jMtmoua to kill, esnsre or trap in

J &!*** ergeant John A. Mason who
attempted to shoot (iuiteau, is dishon
orably discharged from the army, by
the,court martial, with the loss of
all pay and allowances, and is to be
confined, iff hard labor, in the peni
teiitimy eiglityenrs. “The meaning,
not the letter of the law should be
olreyed.” Were the letter of our law
and jKipulace who established the law
consulted John A Mason would be
entitled to a reward rather than • a
forfeit for his patriotic ai t.
Dili ton.
The people of Barton are very
quiet, hut they are alive, and think it
is time this part of the county was
represented in our county pajmrs.
The chief subject of interest at
present is the weather, which has
been so very changeable of late that
all weather prophets are Incoming
discouraged.
NVe la rar there was a genuine bliz
zard in Brookings last week, but we
don’t acknowledge anything of the
sort, at least nothing resembling
those of a year ago.
The people from here, who spent
the winter in the east, are returning
and all seem glad to get back to the
land of good road and no mud.
Among the number are Mr Ken
yan ami family, who came back Imt
ter pleased with their western home
than ever.
Our merchant Mr. Driekens, is still
doing a thiving business, but would
prefer blizzards ami blockades to such
a beautiful winter ns tin* past.
The family of S. 11. Doughty was
made happy the other day by the
arrival of their household goods from
their old home in Wisconsin.
M. S. Sherwood is looking for a
good oat season as we hear he in
tends to put in about 80 acres of that
grain this spring. Hope oats, will
biing *I.OO per bushel next fall.
Mr. 1). Doughty is still vibrating
between his home in Barton and his
shop in Brookings, hut we are in
hopes that the time is not far distant
when lie will find it more profitable
to run a shop in his own town.
B. 15. Cronk has moved back upon
his homestead, he thinks he has about
reduced the art of moving to a
science and if there are anv who wish
for instructions they may on 11 around
in about six months anil take practi
cal lessons.
Barton Literary Society, which lias
taken an active part in the amusement
as well as instruction of the precinct,
has aj<turned until Nov. 3rd. when it
is hoped all members will be prepar
ed to fill places assigned them in the
pn igramme.
An enterprising sabbath school is
held at the school house every Sun
day. I). Doughty Sup’t. A large at
tendance is earnestly desired.
If these few items find a place in
tin* Sentinel vou may hear from us
again.

Tho lirst of tliosprinj; months lias
nearly come to a rinse, ami contrary
to the general expectation in the lore
part of the month no seeding Ims been
done as yet. Farmers and all. in this
section appear to he ready and
easier to bo;;i!i operations, and possibly
before the issue of your paper may be
actively enoajjcd in soedinjr.
A large amount of land will be
cultivated and a greater variety of
crops raised than during last season;
corn will be planted quite extensively
and there is no reason why a good
crop may not la* raised here, if plant
ed on old ground, and the same care
and attention is bestowed upon it as
it receives in Illinois or lowa.
Farmers will find they can make
money by raising corn and fattening
hogs for their own use so long as they
are obliged to pay from 10 to 1
cents for jiork shipped here from the
east, considerable sorghum will also
be raised provided farmers are assured
they can get their crop worked up
near home.
There is one farm industry which
seems to be much neglected although
it is quite as remunerative if not
more so than any other connected
with fanning and that is butter mak
ing. First class butter is scarce in this
market at all times of the year and
commands from twenty to twenty five
and thirty cents a pound any time.
One farmer told me he had not
sold a pound of butter in two years
for less than twenty fiv.i cents a
pound and that he had made more
profit from his cows, than from his
crops.
Win. Wendelken has returned from
his winter's sojourn in Minnesota ac
companied by his father, mother and
sister. Will brought three fine horses
out to use on his farm, lie evidently
intends to go at farming in earnest
and we w ish him success.
Wm. McKeown has lieon to
Minncssota, and brought lawk a wife
to “grow up with the country”.
Henry Russel returned to Elk
ton last week.
Business is quiet, merchants arc
stocking up projiairing for spring
trade.
Over ten thousand dollars were ex
pended in improvements in Elktou
last year.
Schoil meeting next Tuesday.
W. H. Ruddle, B. F. Huddle and
Ed. Bonesteef, of Brookings were in
town Monday.

farmers were all at work in their fields
with full force, until the weather took
a eojd; yet none hail done any seeding
except .T. (iiles who has sown his new
wheat lie revived from the patent
office.
Frank Waning is to remain at borne

J. A. GJgrove came up a few days
