Sheriff Manning notifed Deputy Siever last evening that he would resign his position as sheriff of Lawrence county on the first of January, 1884. We are sorry to see John Manning throw up his position, as in all the years he has so ably filled it, we have never heard a word in any way disparaging to him as an officer. He has been sheriff for no party or clique, but has always discharged his duties without fear or favor. With county scrip at sixty cents on the dollar, it is not a bonanza.

Aug 05 1881
Sturgis City about this time is having trouble in more ways than one. The Bible in the schools has stirred up the infidel and Christian parties of the community, who are going for each other in the columns of the Record. The lawlessness of the transient population has called into existence a vigilance committee, who talk bit to say the least. Yesterday the town was placarded with the supposed ominous figures, 3-7-77, and notices were served on several parties to git up and git, or take the consequences. One of the four parties notified to leave was Alex Fiddler, at one time a prominent character in the history of Pierre. The parties notified say they will go when they get ready, and the vigilantes say they will assist them in getting ready. The result is anxiously awaited.
In regard to: Fiddler, Alex.
