prictor of one of them knowing thiit
it hud leen fixed liy some mem l
f the COttB.cU to let the printing to
a favorite, declined to put In 11 bid.
The other two filed bids The bid
of the printer who hid the pull with
a majority of the council was higher
than that of bin competitor Then
are four QOOBStlMSB, The mayor
and one of the coiim ilmeii favored
awarding the contrail for the print

other three couniiltncfi voted lo
give it to the other, merely an a fa

he "lived in his ward". As though
he had a right to use public money
to favor a neighbor.
Now the printer who had In the
lower bid calls the action of the

the action of the two Box Unite
county commissioners who are try

prices, without even giving other
printers an opportunity to bid on tie

A new law firm was launched forth
In Alliance during the past week,
the members of the new firm being
Kugene Burton, our genial county
attorney, and Joe L. Westover of
Rushvllle.
Mr. Burton, the senior member of
the firm, la a popular member of the
local bar and has practiced his pro
fession In Alliance during the past
five years, coming to this state from
Virginia. He has made a host of
h'tuttUS duns. 1 this time and is just
, i t M nnnn 1Mb third term as coun
ty attoraej . . 1 which capacity he has
earned an enviable reputation as a
public prosecutor, and so successful
ly has he conducted the affairs of
the office tlu't he had no opposition
for re-election last fall.
Mr. Westover is a recent addition
to the Box Butte County bar but is
not entirely a stranger to our read
ers, being a son of Judge Westover
of this district. He made his debut
as a practloner in Box Butte County
at the December term of the Dist
rict Court, when he ably assisted Mr.
Burton in the prosecution of several
criminal cases Mr Westover fin
ished his preliminary education in
I the University of Nebraska and eoin
I pleted his legal studies in his fath
er's office.
1 The firm makes a most auspicious
: beginning and our readers are assur- I
I ad that the members are especially
well qualified to handle any and all
1 legal business.
The ceremony was at the Broome
residence last evening at ":'.i0 p.m..
Rev. Fr. McNamara officiating. A-
Dout 1 my invited guests were pres
ent.
The wedding inarch was played by
Miss Mary Regan. Miss Virginia
Broome, sister of the bride, acted as
bridesmaid. Mr. Ralph Reiman of
Denver was the groomsman.
A light luncheon was served after
the ceremony, the guests being seat
ed around small tables. After
luncheon was served a reception and
dance was given at the Phelau opera
house, until midnight, when the hap
py couple bid farewell to the large
crowd assembled to witness their de
parture, wha showered them with
rice, old shoes and good wishes.
The young couple will spend their
honeymoon at different points In the
west, going to Denver, Los Augeles
and other points before they reach
San Francisco, which will be their
home. Mr. Mifka holds a very good
position there with the Western Un
ion Telegraph Company, and we un
derstand that a very cozy little home
awaits the bride when they arrirve
there.
The Herald joins in vvishing them
a long and happy married life

The New Delivery System
Believing that delivery service can be made much better through co-operation,
and that regularity and promptness can only come through system, we have
joined with the Alliance Grocery, Duncan's and Rodger's, in a movement to secure
a delivery service w hich will be more efficient than we have been able to provide in
the past. Certain hours are set apart for deliveries, and a sufficient number of wag
ons will be run so that every part of the city will be served regularU at the same
hours.
For a few days, possibly, some in convenience may result. We are sure, how
ever, that as soon as our patrons know the schedule, and decide at what hour it is
most convenient to receive goods, theirorders will be received for that delivery,
and the service cannot prove anything but efficient and satisfactory.
The schedule appears in another part of this issue.
